The United States is moving serious military assets near the
Middle East as President Donald Trump continues to pummel
Iranian-backed Houthi terrorists in Yemen and has warned
Iran that it must enter a nuclear deal in the next several
weeks or else its nuclear program will be eliminated.

The War Zone reported that multiple B-2 Spirit stealth heavy
bombers were en route to the Indian Ocean island of Diego
Garcia, an island in the British Indian Ocean Territory
where the U.S. military has staged assets for attacks in
the Middle East.

At least three B-2 bombers, three C-17 cargo planes, and 10
aerial refueling tankers were deployed to the strategic base
over the last 48 hours, the report said. A fourth B-2 bomber
appears to have also been en route to the base when it was
forced to make an emergency landing in Hawaii.

The report said that additional information pointed to more
B-2 bombers departed Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri,
where all of America’s B-2 bombers are located, earlier today
and are now bound for Diego Garcia.

The report said that the deployment of the bombers was “a
force package that is significantly larger” than any kind
of routine deployment or training exercise.

. . .

Don't think this is JUST for the piss-ant Houthi ...

The B-2s say "penetrate sophisticated radar network",
and that means IRAN.

Ultimately Iran will cave unless they want to see their country turned to glass.
Dealing with these people is a waste of time just like dealing with Hamas. Biden was an idiot who gave them everything they wanted and look what happened. The only thing these fanatics understand is power and strength.
And even they are smart enough to back off when they see it.

They can drop an object anywhere in the USA. What kinds of
objects do they have?

Sure. Let us risk MADD.

Most nuclear weapons have tritium which has to be replaced every
few years. People question if Russia can afford that. Do they
have any weapons? To be honest I lost count myself. Do you feel
lucky, punk?

Actually that was Reagan.




**August 1985. A DC-8 flew from Israel to Iran
and transferred $1,217,410 into the Swiss bank
account of arms dealer Ghorbanifar.


**September 1985. 408 TOWs were sold to Iran.
One American hostage, Benjamin Weir, was
released a day later.


**November 1985. 18 Hawk missiles were
shipped to Iran via a Portugal and Israel.
North arranged for the transfer of one
million dollars which was placed into the
bank account of Lake Resources, a CIA
operated front to launder money in Florida.
80 Hawks were to be delivered; however,
62 were never delivered. North and Secord
testified later that the money received
covered the payment for the aircraft.
$150,000 was actually spent for transportation,
and $850,000 was diverted to the Contras.

**February 1986. 1,000 TOWs were sent to
Iran in increments of 1,000 each and at $10,000
per missile. $10 million was placed in the a
ccount of Lake Resources. $3.7 million was used
to pay for the TOWs. Of that amount, $6.3 million
was profit.

**May 1986. $16.5 million was paid to the
United States for spare parts for Hawk missiles.
$6.5 million was given to the government, and
$10 million was deposited in the bank account of
Lake Resources. Two months later on July 26
Father Lawrence Jenco was released, and the
remaining Hawk parts were sent on to Iran.

**October 1986. 500 TOWs were sold to Iran,
David Jacobsen was released. $3.6 million was
given to the United States. $2 million was paid
for the missiles, while $1.3 million became profit.

On November 25, 1986, after a Lebanese newspaper
broke the story of arms-for-hostages, Attorney
General Edwin Meese revealed that illegal funds

had been diverted to the Contras. Reagan

downplayed the weapons which were delivered to
Iran. He stated that TOW missiles were "hand held"
and that they all could be "transported in one
cargo plane." Reagan also asserted,

"The TOW anti-tank missile is a purely defensive
weapon. It is a shoulder-carried weapon. And we
don't think that in this defensive thing --
we didn't add to any offensive power on the part
of Iran." The TOW missile weighed 56.3 pounds and
was four feet long. The complete system required a
crew of four people. In addition, TOWs could be
used offensively by Iran to attack Iraqi tanks.

Ummmm ... tritium, while useful, has been eliminated from
all modern thermonuke designs for obvious reasons. Some
tweaks of lithium deuteride are now the standard. Iran knows
damned well how that works - advised NK. Iran has GOOD
physicists/engineers.

Iran's major limitation - the ability to DELIVER the nukes
they surely have by now. They have a SMALL stock of rockets
that could serve as ICBMs - but so far as I've heard have
never worked on the tech needed to evade defenses (decoy
warheads and such). To really strike a Jihadist blow they
NEED to reach central Europe, even the UK. North America
is likely just out of reach.

The sneak fix is to smuggle-in the nukes ... bury them in
a hole in the ground in Central Park and such ... just
waiting for the radio signal or phone call or loon
jihadi just *waiting* to push a button. If you can
smuggle tons of dope/weapons/whatever into the USA
and Canada then you can smuggle-in 20+kt nukes. Most
worried about 200+ kt fusion-enhanced .....

In short, this may NOT go as well as Team Trump
thinks it will. Iran has been LONG persecuted and
the Ayatollahs are NOT happy. Tricks to stab at
the heart of the Great Satan's - VERY appealing.

They CAN get at us.

Not entirely sure Iran will 'cave'.

The Islamist/Jihadi/Martyr thing is involved.

I'm also worried about the 80+ percent of the pop
that is no longer down with the Ayatollahs, but
can't DARE say otherwise. Don't wanna see them all
killed - or irradiated from attacks on uranium sites.

It's a convenient illusion that The People can easily
overthrow fanatic dictators. The psych/history says NO,
not now, not ever. Syria, for example, just had to lick
Assad's ass for DECADES. (unfortunately the replacements
are as-bad or worse ...)

BUT, as said, THIS build-up looks to be a BIG attack
on Iran. You don't need B-2s otherwise. We will see
it all play out, likely within a few weeks.

Trtitium is not used for fusion/thermonuclear weapons.

It used as a starter for fission. It produces a burst of neutrons
as the pit compresses that makes more fissile metal fission for a
boosted yield. It is obvious not necessary. It is optimiser not a
requirement.
