Satellite Images Reveal Three B-2 Stealth Bombers Deployed To The Island Of Diego Garcia


Warzone/The Drive: Trio Of B-2 Stealth Bombers Deployed To The Island Of Diego Garcia As Seen From Space

The B-2s flew direct from the U.S. to the remote outpost in the Indian Ocean and have already executed missions over Asia.

On August 11th, 2020, U.S. Air Force sent a trio of B-2 Spirit stealth bombers halfway around the world from their home at Whiteman AFB in Missouri to the remote island outpost of Diego Garcia located deep in the Indian Ocean. The unannounced deployment is part of the Air Force's new unpredictable bomber deployment strategy and comes at a time where tensions in Asia vis-à-vis China have peaked.

The remote airfield, which was a bustling hive of activity during the first decade of the Global War On Terror, is a far quieter place today. Still, it has seen a small resurgence in heavy bomber use as of late, with B-52s being sent there as a backstop against potential Iranian aggression last Winter. Now Diego Garcia''s huge parking apron has received three of its most prized, but temperamental patrons, ones which have their own special "VIP" climate-controlled clamshell shelters along the edge ramp that sit ready and waiting should the bombers have to use them in a crisis, or in this case, a deployment.

WNU Editor: This deployment of B-2s to Diego Garcia was announced last week. But the way these bombers are displayed for satellites with high resolution cameras to detect tells me the US is purposely sending a message to countries in the region that the U.S. has prioritized the Indian Ocean in its military planning.

It should be noted the US is sending air assets not naval assets. WNU is quite correct on his satellite/message analysis.

The Chinese are almost but not quite out of dancing moves.

Out of dancing moves?

There is Biden elected and Biden not elected.

If Biden is not elected, there will be more coup attempts and each one of those will SUCK UP TIME and ENERGY.

I am not impressed with the CIA or FBI. When Obama, Comey and Brennan were in charge of their respective agencies and had people maneuvered into position, a lot of people could think they were outnumbered and would get struck down if they did the right thing. Now those 3 idiots are gone and some of their lieutenants too. Still I have not seen anyone come out against Brennan. Labor Day is almost here and Brennan is still free.

If you arrest or indict him, people will say it is a campaign stunt, because it will affect the election. But if you don't arrest that scofflaw it is a campaign stunt, since it is apparent to some people that Democrats are winning and are at high tide. So why vote for the losing side? People quavering in the middle are that fickle IMO.

Or overnight assembled several mock-ups.

Mock ups are good.

Mock ups have decided battles and the course of campaigns.

Also eating a drumstick works too.
