And this will be buried faster than a toilet flush. BUT, the internet seems to be fulfiling something I hoped for many years ago. People can find the nastiness of our so called leaders. Now, let us get off our ass of complacency and get this horrible crap stop. Thank you Mr. Wauck
So Italy was ground zero for a tangled web of spy operations involving a "conspiracy of the highest level that involves members of the Mafia and officials in the intelligence services, along with foreign intelligence services including the Mossad.”
I wonder if George Papadopoulos, Joseph Mifsud, Simona Mangiante, Stefan Halper, representatives of the "Link Campus" in Rome, and Italian intelligence have any comments about any still unexplained tangled webs.
The whole Vatican angle on this is really creepy & disconcerting; no matter how often you hear stories about their involvement in many strange occurrences.
The 2nd & 3rd Strat are stationed at Mildenhall in the UK. Trips back & forth to the ME are pretty regular (in fact 2 more are in the air headed that way now). There is almost always several floating around over the ME, 24/7, so much so that I hardly even notice them these days; I just assume we have a lot of assets in the air I cannot see that need refueling. Not to diminish what Mark's posted, just to say that we are very, very busy bees over the ME these days. The Qataris have even been flying their Eurofighters over Al Udeid since the Israelis failed Iranian blitz. Al Udeid is usually the hub Strats as I see when plane-geeking.
If we're bringing the B52's to the region...I guess those B-2 Spirits weren't quite enough. Some of you will find this article on the "Houthi Hunting Club" to be interesting or just plain amusing:
It'll be 162 years old and still not be obsolete to do what it does best - launch massive amounts stand off weapons. Platforms age are really irrelevant with bombers and increasingly fighters with modern missiles.. Look at even older Russian bear. It doesnt even have to leave Russian airspace to hit most of continental USA w/ Kh-101(102 in nuclear variant) cruise missile whose range is in excess of 6,500 kilometers.
I am, along with the newest B-52 62 years old, they are just like me, more capable than the youngsters. F-35's abysmal mission capable rate is the most obvious example of this phenomenon.

just checked flightradar24 and I see a KC-135 tanker landing at Al Udeid right now (5pm CST) from Mildenhall UK.

Very astute observation. Let us now link the UK, mentioned in Politico, to this.
And how long ago was Panama, I believe, released all sorts of nasty info on banking wrongs by every leader of many, many countries.

Just plain amusing.
I admit I laughed out loud.
Sounds like another show of force. Yemen or Syria is a possibility, but any other country the b52 would be a sitting duck.
Reality - The newest B52H is 62 years old…

Only about 10% of the 744 B-52’s are still in service, 72.
And there are plans to keep it in service to 2060, a hundred years.
