Not sure if anyone was watching the live stream from RAF Lakenheath this evening showing the arrival of a flight of F-22 Raptors from the US. There were 1 possibly 2 flights that had arrived earlier in the day.

Given the large number of air refuelling tankers that have come over from the US in the last day or so does seem to suggest the something is cooking.

Anyone got 'Trump Starts WWIII' on their bingo card?

Apparently the B2s are in Diego Garcia at the minute within striking range of Iran too.

I read online that an "expert" had told the media the movements of tankers from the US was unusual.
That is rubbish,as anyone who regularly watches the tracking sites will know.
KC-135's and the other tanker/transport types are back and forth from UK and Europe almost daily.

Ok more than a few may look like a major thing to those who don't follow them much.
I think that's all it is,a bit of posing and a show of strength.
The fact these movements have not been carried out in secret speaks volumes.
