The other day, a total of 6 people, Muslims, were arrested for involvement in a terrorist plot to attack RAF Fairford, an air force base in England, and then released on bond. Terrorists released on bond?
The US had 12 bombers there, B-1s, B-2s and B-52s, and they have all been flown back to the US immediately following the release of the plotters. Several questions arise.
Why would the Brits release 6 known TERRORISTS back into the general population, knowing that they intended a major attack on that military base, if this was really as serious a threat as they claim, and why would the US fly every single one of those aircraft immediately out of England when all that’s needed is to increase security and patrols to harden the base. This would be a lot cheaper than flying a dozen very large military aircraft halfway around the world when their purpose in being in England is to be much closer to the Middle East if or when needed.
Are you telling me that England Will Not provide adequate security for their own air bases? Do you believe that? I don’t. So why were those aircraft removed? Could it be that the Brits ordered the US to remove them? You bet it could.
Considering that England’s government has gone Far Left, this seems most likely to be political retaliation over some difference between them. It’s a dangerous act considering how militarily weak England is.
There is another possibility, which is the fact that winter’s coming soon and the Brits rely on heating fuel from Russia, and Russia might not have wanted those aircraft there, so a deal was made.
This comes at the same time that Yemen has launched an army of 100,000 against the Houthis to wipe them out, with the Saudis providing air support and strikes and the USA providing targeting data, so the conflict in the Middle East isn’t going to end for a long time yet and can’t end until Iran and all of their proxies are vanquished. That includes Hezbollah in Lebanon, Hamas in Gaza and Fatah in Samaria and Judea.
Meawhile, the Saudis and Qatar are at odds so we may be seeing the start of a reorganization of alliances between the Arab states, which will also be disruptive of the Middle East.
BOTTOM LINE. While the storyline is that enough oil is flowing to adequately serve the world’s economic and fuel needs, it actually isn’t and won’t be for an extended period, and Be Advised that this shortage is going to be at it’s worst at the same time that Winter is. There is a reshaping of Europe, Asia and the Middle East going on here.
