Two U.S. B-2 Spirit stealth bombers are being deployed to Europe for the first time. The deployment of the advanced aircraft will be used for “short term deployment” at Fairford, a Royal Air Force base in England — just three hours from Russia.

“This deployment of strategic bombers provides an invaluable opportunity to strengthen and improve interoperability with our allies and partners,” said Adm. Cecil Haney, commander of U.S. Strategic Command, CNN reported Tuesday.

What’s Putin going to swap the Bamster for the two B2s?

Couldn't send one quietly to bomb those good Boko Muzzies but he's just itching to bomb Christians.

If Ukraine calms down he'll probably threaten to bomb Spain unless they give most of the country back to Iz Lame.
