Is this unusual, or does it often move around the country? The article doesn't say.

[–] T00l_shed@lemmy.world 24 points 1 week ago

Yeah... I mean if this is a normal thing, then don't sensationalize it, but if this is not normal we need to know

[–] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 17 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Trump preparing for WWIII.

[–] Infinite@lemmy.zip 9 points 1 week ago

He won't accept third. Trump War One, the best one.

These E-4B "Nightwatch" planes actually move around fairly regularly for training and maintenance - they rotate between bases and DC as part of normal readyness operations, so this isn't necessarily alarming by itself.

There's another article stating that he does actually want to drop a nuke.

If you read the article, they're heavily reading into what was actually said by the correspondent. They said nothing is off the table but conventional bunker busters should be enough to destroy the nuclear facility in Iran.

[–] XeroxCool@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

I haven't looked I to the Air Force E-4B, but the Navy's E-6B has been spotted all over the US. Both are doomsday 747s. There's multiples of both. I don't know if it's actually been spotted on the ground much, though, as opposed to very high flyovers. But it sure feels a lot like the start of Escape from NY

Like I know he’s an absolute drooling psychopath, and many of his followers are cultists, but, like, the women and men protecting him have families. I hope they understand what dropping nukes would mean

[–] teamevil@lemmy.world 15 points 1 week ago

I think they think they're going to be fine...

[–] sturmblast@lemmy.world 16 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Starting to think I should dump my stocks again

[–] AWistfulNihilist@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Naw, just move them into publicly traded military contractors not named Boeing. You'll be making money like its crypto and you're on the inside.

[–] Paddzr@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

I have a feeling Boeing will be just fine... Those apaches won't maintain themselves...

[–] WaxiestSteam69@lemm.ee 8 points 1 week ago

Unfortunately I think we are along for the ride at this point.

[–] saltesc@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

So after there's a nuclear doomsday, y'all still want your president around 🤣 That's so adorable.

[–] sturmblast@lemmy.world 33 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Most people around here seem to hate him. I don't know who you are talking to.

[–] Lon3star@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Roughly 40-45% of the voting population

[–] AWistfulNihilist@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

Like .000000001% are represented in Lemmy

[–] saltesc@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

The democratic US as a whole. I'm aware many people on Lemmy are not a part of it.

[–] WizardofFrobozz@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

And are doing nothing to stop him

[–] sturmblast@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Which has nothing to do with the context of what we were talking about

[–] limer@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 week ago

As an American who could have done more to help stop this, I think all adult Americans, including me, share some collective guilt.

There is so much more everyone could have done the last few years to head this off.

There are always excuses, I have a long list myself.

[–] Drusas@fedia.io 5 points 1 week ago

Fuck that. If he starts a nuclear war, he should be first in line to vaporize.

[–] altphoto@lemmy.today 1 points 1 week ago

First Putin, then Kimmy. But they can use tiny ones, not city murdering ones.
