Signs of possible U.S. B-2 activity emerging. Eyes on Iran, the next 24 hours may matter. 👀
🚨🇺🇸 UNUSUAL U.S. AIR FORCE ACTIVITY RAISES QUESTIONS
Eight KC-135 Stratotankers have landed in Hawaii, a transit hub previously used ahead of June’s Middle East operations involving Iranian nuclear sites.
Now, two KC-135Rs have departed Hawaii and are heading west, drawing fresh attention to U.S. military movements.
The goal isnt to rule Iran, it's to kneecap it before it becomes a danger. Just like Libya and Syria, if they can start a civil war or just royally fuck the economy until its irrelevant to geopolitical events (eg. blocking Hormuz).
Maybe there's some stretch goals for controlling the oil, but even denying the oil to someone else is a good start. Most importantly, none of this necessitiates a ground invasion.
Good point. However, given the outcome of the last few American military operations in the region, I'm frankly very skeptical of their chances of even achieving that.
If I remember the articles I've read about the US war games simulating a war against Iran correctly, the American fleet got wiped out in short order and with minimal damage dealt to Iran. And that was years ago, Iran has gotten stronger since, while the US has stagnated if not weakened.
As for causing a civil war, the current attempt at a color revolution has already failed, adding an other failure to the CIA's recent streak of failed covert operations. So I wouldn't bet on any successes on that front either.
