USA Sends Doomsday Plane E-6B Mercury to Middle East

https://militarnyi.com/en/news/usa-doomsday-plane-e-6b-mercury-middle-east/
Legit? I think so..

The USA has deployed the E-6B Mercury airborne command post to the Middle East, often called the ‘Doomsday plane.’

Bankingnews reported about this on March 5, referencing OSINT analysts who monitor military aircraft movements.

The aircraft serves as a command center and facilitates communication with strategic nuclear submarines.

It is equipped with a system for transmitting launch codes for intercontinental ballistic missiles with nuclear warheads.

Additionally, due to its specialized communication systems, the E-6B Mercury can maintain command over nuclear forces even if the ground-based command infrastructure is destroyed.

The flight of such a specialized aircraft toward the Middle East became known on March 4.

In the event of nuclear escalation, the E-6B Mercury aircraft ensure that U.S. military forces can receive confirmed orders to launch nuclear missiles from submarines, silo-based launchers, and bombers.

The U.S. Navy received its first upgraded E-6B Mercury aircraft from Northrop Grumman in early June 2023.

The upgrade is aimed at improving the aircraft’s internal equipment and communication systems.

The exact role of this American aircraft in the ongoing U.S. and Israeli military operation against Iran is currently unknown.

Previously, media reports indicated that the U.S. plans to conduct a military operation against Iran for at least 100 days, potentially until September.

This suggests the seriousness and scale of the planned actions in the region.

Ben Bankas / Creative Artist Agency artist boycott attempt tel 424-288-2000

https://www.caa.com/contact
tel 424-288-2000


I just called CAA for a list of their current talent roster, specifically comedians, so to share here at DU to get a boycott going of CAA's talent.

The young gentleman on the tel 424-288-2000 in Beverly Hills could not give me a list of their comedian talent.
When I simply asked that he pass on my complaints that Ben Bankas he be dropped, he said he could NOT DO THAT!?

What employee of any company cannot forward the public's impression of that company to a manager?

FUCK THEM.

Henceforth, the Republican Party / GOP should be known as the Fascist Party of America, the F.P.A.

Trump's actions and motives are fascist. The GOP supports his fascist agenda.

Nothing more to be said.

Trump says he will meet Machado -- and would accept Nobel Peace Prize from her

Two people close to the White House previously told The Post that Trump was not willing to support Machado because she accepted the Peace Prize. “If she had turned it down and said, ‘I can’t accept it because it’s Donald Trump’s,’ she’d be the president of Venezuela today,” one of the people said, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss a sensitive situation.

Machado told Hannity she believed that if elections were held, she would win the presidency in a landslide.
