Flights of Six to Eight B-2 Stealth Bombers in the air

Last night after my global talk radio show, I was made aware that B-2 Stealth Bombers had taken off from CONUS and were heading west.  A NOTAM for mid-air refueling in the Pacific Missile Range near Hawaii was issued.

Initially, I wondered why a NOTAM for air refueling would be issued when it was simply easier to land the planes on Hawaii to refuel.  Then it hit me, they don't want anyone to SEE the planes.   That told me:  "Iran."

Now, I couldn't very well bring attention to this because I didn't want to endanger our guys on their mission, even though I firmly DISAGREE with the U.S. attacking Iran. 

Israel made a SNEAK ATTACK upon Iran, and the Iranians have a right, and a duty, to strike back.  I don't think we Americans should be siding with the SNEAK ATTACKERS.  Moreover, the Israelis started this fight, and they did so KNOWING they couldn't finish it. They KNEW they would have to drag us in.  What kind of an "ally" does that?  A BAD ally.

Worst of all: The irony and hypocrisy.   Israel - who has secret nuclear bombs - is attacking Iran to prevent Iran from getting secret nuclear bombs!   What kind of psychosis is that thinking????

I say, let Israel finish it without dragging us into it.  If they CAN'T finish it, let them take a good beating, to straighten them out about going off half-cocked and attacking whoever they darn well please.   It's what they seem to do nowadays, and it needs to stop.

Anyway, when I found out the B-2's were already in the air, I put a cryptic headline "12 Hours" with very little else in the story (HERE).

This morning when I woke up around 6:00 AM, it was ALL OVER SOCIAL MEDIA that two flight groups of 3 to four B-2 bombers each, with refueling tankers, took off from Whiteman Air Force Base and headed out over the Pacific.

Seeing as "the cat is out of the bag" through no actions by __me__, I've decided it is now reasonable for me to cover this factual story.

This morning, info came out on social media revealing:

KC135 Refueling Tankers "NITRO61-64" are joined with B2s "MYTEE21" Flight.   and  KC135 refueling tankers "NITRO71-74" are joined with B2s "MYTEE11" Flight.

It is important to me that I make clear, ALL this information is already out in the public domain.  I am NOT revealing any secret or classified information.  The flight maps above come from publicly accessible (free) online flight radar services open to the general public.    If it's open to the public, it cannot be secret or classified.

Below, public flight radar services prove KC-46A Refueling tankers "HIFI81" & "HIFI82" clearly tanking B-2s out over the ocean, while "HIFI83" & "HIFI84" do the same ~75km behind them. The first two tankers will shortly disappear from @flightradar24  as they go out of range of sensors. After this our next refuel will be Hawaii later today.

So from the above flight radar imagery, we wee that the aircraft involved needed fuel as they left the US west coast, and will need fuel again at Hawaii.   Why so much fuel?   The B-2's have a known, publicly available, single trip range of about 6,000 miles - why are they needing so much fuel after such shorter mileage?   The WEIGHT of what they're carrying?

How about two, 30,000 pound MOAB ground-penetrating bombs in each plane?   Likely for the Iran nuclear program facility at Fordow, buried beneath a mountain?

So the B-2's are in the air as of last night.  Refueling near Hawaii took place around 11:00 PM eastern US time last night, based on the NOTAM near the Pacific Missile Range, which was effective at 0300 Zulu time.   Zulu Time is Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) and we here on the east coast are GMT -0400 hours.   So at 0300 GMT, it would be 11:00 PM here in the eastern US time Zone.   Ergo, the first refuelings off Hawaii took place at 11:00 PM eastern time last night.

Now the question becomes, will the B-2's go straight, non-stop, to Iran, or will they land on either Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean, or on Guam in the Pacific Ocean?

From Los Angeles, it is 8206 straight line miles to Tehran, Iran.   The B-2 travels at about 652 miles per hour, but will  have to refuel at Hawaii and again before "making their attack run."   Hence, my story with the headline "12 Hours."

If they go straight into attack run, by 11:00 AM eastern time today, parts of Iran won't exist anymore.

If they are, instead, traveling to either Diego Garcia or to Guam, then the attack may not take place today.

I think it WILL take place.  

We'll see . . . .

For the record, I am of the view that we cannot attack Iran lawfully. Here's why:

Iran has NOT attacked the United States.

The Congress has NOT declared war.

Congress has NOT passed an "authorization for the use of military force."

The United States does NOT have any authority - on its own or from anyone else - to declare that Iran "cannot have (nuclear) enrichment.

Both the US and Iran signed the Nuclear non-Proliferation Treaty (NNPT) which PROTECTS the right of every country, to have and develop peaceful nuclear energy.  Almost every other country on earth also signed that NNPT.   You know which country DID NOT sign it?   Israel.

The very same people who told us "Saddam Hussein has weapons of mass destruction," were the exact same people who told us "Qadaffi in Libya has weapons of mass destruction", LIED.   

Those same liars are the ones now saying "Iran is making a nuclear bomb."  Fool me once, shame on you.  Fool me twice - or now three times - shame on me.

Why are they saying lies again?   Because THIS is the type of people they actually are:

WOW.   But it gets worse.  They openly threaten even us here in America.  Look what ELSE he said:

Yes.  He just told Americans that if we get CALLED "Anti-Semites" (by them) that we, too, will burn to death!

Who is this guy?   THIS is who he is:   AIPAC . . .  The American-Israel Political Action Committee:

Spoiled brat people perfectly willing to commit outright murder - and the Genocide they've been committing in Gaza.   THIS is who these people actually are.

We should not be helping, defending,  or siding with, such vile creatures.

Now, there's a line being uttered by President Trump and other national leaders worldwide which goes like this: "Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon."

So the rest of us are supposed to accept this as a reason to attack Iran, right?

OK, well, if other countries can take into account security risks to them by the actions of some other country, then it necessarily follows that Russia was RIGHT to take action against Ukraine over joining NATO.

If other countries can attack Iran to prevent them from having nukes, then Russia can attack Ukraine for endangering Russia's national security by joining NATO.   

The logic being applied to Iran also applies to the benefit of Russia.  You can't have it both ways.

Oh, and to those of you who think we're #1, that no one can dare even challenge us . . . . take a look at what happened between a US Navy vessel  and a Russian Su-24 fighter jet yesterday in the Baltic Sea.  The US Navy never even saw it coming, until it (would have been) too late:

The world has changed.  We are not immune from what's out there anymore.   

Those of you pushing for us to "attack Iran" should realize that it is possible we can be attacked back.
