The U.S. Air Force has brought home its bombers stationed at a U.S.-run military air base in England used to strike Iran following an investigation into a planned terror attack at the RAF Fairford base.
The bombers were redeployed to their home bases in the United States, according to a Pentagon official who was not authorized to discuss sensitive military movements and spoke Sunday on condition of anonymity.
Aviation watchers such as the Military Air Tracking Alliance have observed dozens of B-52 and B-1 bombers operating out of RAF Fairford since the opening days of the Iran war. Observers noticed a host of B-1 bombers fly out of the base on Sunday.
The move comes as Donald Trump weighs options for his war on Iran — including new strikes — despite his initial promises to Americans that the campaign would last a matter of weeks.
What meaning does the word “terrorist” have left if we are now applying it to attacks on MILITARY targets?
This is really giving “hostage was kidnapped from their tank” vibes.
In the context of the US, it means they have “legal” pathway to deprive them of rights afforded to them as combatants by international customs of war.
To be clear: all suspects have been released on bond and no explosives or weapons were found in the vans.
There is no evidence they were combatants or any obvious link to Iran, just the US insisting they were.
Sounds like the terrorists, even if there were any, won beyond their imagination.
All that testosterone they’ve been agonising about seems to be working: they’re running away at the first sign of danger.
Terrorists win, I guess?
Yeah, they are going need those here at home for any states insubordinate enough to attempt participation in fair and democratic elections
False flag to give reason to remove, to open for putins coming attacks. A deal was made, US gets the western hemisphere, Russia gets Europe, China will be free to take Taiwan and continue its expansion in Asia
We were always at war with Eastasia
