Bombers from the US's flying forces jetted into RAF Fairford this morning in a thinly-veiled show of strength as Russia continued to mass near Ukraine.
The four B-52 Stratofortress aircraft - with call signs HATE 11, HATE 12, HATE 13 AND HATE 14 - arrived at the Gloucestershire grounds this morning.
They were accompanied by officers and personnel from America's 5th Bomb Wing from Minot Air Force Base, North Dakota.

All B-52’s are nuclear capable.
Might be better as a long range, heavy missile platform in any potential scenario here.
Ukraine is Europe’s problems not America’s.
Europes defenselessness is Europe’s problem not America’s.
In principle, I agree. The Ukrainian conflict is between Russia and Ukraine. Not only is this not our fight but the problem is made worse because our leadership class lacks even the most rudimentary understanding of the situation.
The only things they may grasp are their narrow business interests that run contrary to America's interests as a whole. They may even be willing to use nuclear weapons I'm defense of and advancement of those interests.
We got some beginnings of some WW3 shit going on here. Next thing you know if Russia invaded Ukrain, China's going to take Taiwan. Than some how blame Trump for it while Joe coloring in his coloring books. Just have this feeling Putin doing this to make America look like a fool.
