MAYBE THE WAR PARTY WON? Remember that Trump said that the Iraq War was the worst decision ever, let's take a look at how things are escalating... The Boeing E-4B Nightwatch, more commonly known as the ‘Doomsday plane’, went airborne minutes after Donald Trump vowed to strike Syria earlier this week. The Nightwatch is an airborne nuclear war command center that allows the U.S. government to maintain a chain of command in the event of a major war...One of the fleet of 10 doomsday planes is always kept in close proximity to the president, even when he is out of the country. The aircraft can stay airborne for up to 150 hours and has in-built electromagnetic pulse protection to survive the impact of a nuclear strike. The Nightwatch took off from Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Indiana shortly after President Trump tweeted that missiles “will be coming” despite Russia’s vow to shoot them down and attack launch pads.....MEANWHILE An armada of 12 warships – the largest US strike force since the 2003 Iraq war – is steaming toward the Middle East as President Trump mulls an attack on Syria in retaliation for a chemical weapons attack on civilians, according to a report.....The aircraft carrier USS Harry S Truman set sail from Norfolk, Va., on Wednesday with five escort warships and were expected to join four destroyers and two nuclear-powered subs believed to already be in or near the Mediterranean, the Times of London reported.....Trump on Wednesday appeared to telegraph an attack on Syria by tweeting that missiles “will be coming” in response to the attack in the town of Douma on April 7. The president threatened that “nice and new and ‘smart’ missiles will be coming” after a Russian diplomat pledged that its military would intercept any rockets fired into Syria.....But Trump tempered those remarks the next day as he consulted allies such and Britain and France, who could join in any American-led strikes on Syria. “Never said when an attack on Syria would take place. |
