Social media accounts for the US Air Force Global Strike Command and Central Command issued a series of new videos on Friday showing B-1B bombers landing in Saudi Arabia, the latest deployment in a series of major US buildups in the Saudi kingdom.
While they were clearly eager to hype these deployments on social media,
the Pentagon has offered no details to the press so far, not disclosing
how many US bombers were sent, or how long their deployment will be.
This follows up on the US sending a substantial number of ground troops
into Saudi Arabia, nominally to defend the country from Iran. As US-Iran
tensions continue to grow, the US keeps throwing more military
equipment into the area along Iran’s periphery.
B-1B bombers are clearly not a defensive deployment, either, but rather
are there to participate in potential US attacks. The conclusion can
only be that these bombers are there for potential attacks on Iran.
More peace overtures from the peace president. I don’t know if it’s Ghandi, MLK or the second coming of Jesus Christ that occupies the white house anymore.
Or, Gen Buck Turgidson
GOP Primary debate 12/17/15: Trump “… the power, the devastation is very important to me.”
It appears that the Saudis are planning to do some unthinkable acts that assures the retaliation of Iran. And likely the Emericans will act as defense on Saudi behalf where the Iraqis and Pakistanis failed.
Truly a sad day for Emerican military to be hired as security guards to protect some cutthroat grasshopper eating bunch.
Emerican? Someone has been watching Mr. Robot. 🙂
Anyone remember the build-up to the Iraq war in 2002?
They will keep sending troops and assets into the region for the next year or more until they’re ready for the Iran war. They may try to “finesse” the war early on with just an air campaign to destroy Iran’s infrastructure. But sooner or later they’re going to need ground troops – and lots of them; at least as many as they had preparing for the Iraq war.
Because this war is going to involve Iran, Iraq, Syria and Afghanistan and almost certainly Lebanon as well. The US will need scores of thousands of troops in each country.
