  @lucianktruscott It’s bad enough that we couldn’t defend bases that were only one Persian Gulf away from Iran, most of them within a couple hundred miles. But an Air Force Base nearly 3,000 miles away? Stocked with the most expensive combat aircraft the U.S. has? We couldn’t defend that base, and Iran doesn’t even have missiles capable of flying that far.

  So, what was the threat to our bomber base in Great Britain, anyway? Well, it appears that Trump and Hegseth and Vance and the rest of the macho men who pretend they are Great Warriors in command of “the most powerful military in the world” were afraid of the five men with the three white vans and a sixth man who was arrested later – none of whom have been identified, but all of whom have been released from police custody. That’s who they were afraid of.

  @lucianktruscott All these nincompoop idiots in their red ties and their blue suits and their government armored cars and big, fancy government aircraft to ferry them around…every single one of them is a self-satisfied, abjectly unqualified, inept, fool who should not be within a hundred miles of a military command. Can you imagine being one of the 18 soldiers in the Middle East who was killed or one of the more than 400 who were seriously wounded by Iranian drones and missiles these idiots were unprepared to defend against?

  @lucianktruscott What were they thinking? That they would fire a whole bunch of missiles and drop a shitload of bombs on Iran, and they wouldn’t fight back? What kind of political or military leader starts a war on that premise? Because we’re so powerful and we’ve got such a huge navy and so many high-tech cruise missiles and so many big, super-fast heavy bombers and stealth fighters, we can just do what we want to other countries and not worry that the entire world, starting with Ukraine and fanning out from there, has moved on from attacking with artillery and bombers and troops on the ground, and now they’ve got thousands of people looking at screens with little thumb-controllers and AI-aided guidance and targeting information flying drones hundreds and even thousands of miles and beating the living shit out of the big guys.

  @lucianktruscott So, you wanted to know what’s the whole deal with flying all our big B-1 bombers home from their base in Great Britain? Same old same old. Hegseth is out there in the Pentagon parking lot doing pushups with his no-beardos-no-dudes-in-dresses troops, while six guys in three vans are making us leave an airbase in Great Britain that we have used since we flew bombers out of there during World War II.

  Perhaps poetically, that’s about where we’re at. We’re still flying B-17’s, and everybody else is flying drones.

  Pathetic doesn’t even begin to describe these fools. They’re getting us into another war we can’t win while Trump plays golf and Vance hangs out with Planatir Peter Thiel and Hegseth theologizes the Pentagon. But I’m on them. /end
