Here’s an update on our previous report of a buildup of U.S. military assets for a possible strike on Iran.
We already knew that the USS Carl Vinson and USS Nimitz were in-route or on-station in the Middle East. Now the USS Gerald R. Ford, the most modern aircraft carrier in the fleet, is deploying to Europe, which means it could steam to the Eastern Mediterranean.
Suchomimus has a video up about the U.S. moving still more assets to the region, including two more B-2s.
As previously noted, the B-2 can carry the 30,000 lb GBU-57A/B Massive Ordnance Penetrator. It’s generally thought that one will not be enough to penetrate the 80 meters of reinforced concrete protecting the Fordow nuclear centrifuge complex, but that two should should be able to do the job. Six, on carried by each B-2, should crack the complex wide open like a sledgehammer hitting a watermelon.
Rest in peace, prop comic.
Nah, actually it will be more like using a sledgehammer to drive a spike into someone’s skull.
Rest in peace, Phineas Gage.
This now concludes today’s selection of inappropriate metaphors.
There’s still no guarantee that President Trump will order an attack, but America’s military has assembled the exact assets to rid the world of Iran’s nuclear weapons program once and for all.
