America is truly a country of psychopaths! The world is ringing-in 2019 with good cheer, but the US Strategic Command (STRATCOM) has a different kind of fireworks in mind. On New Year’s Eve, it showed off footage of stealth bombers and big explosions. What a bunch of demented freaks!
STRATCOM’s New Year’s greetings come in the form of a 40-second video of the B-2 Spirit bomber in flight. The aircraft deploys two GBU-57s – huge bunker buster bombs known as Massive Ordnance Penetrators – which hit a target on the testing grounds.
“Times Square tradition rings in the New Year by dropping the big ball… if ever needed, we are #ready to drop something much, much bigger,” STRATCOM tweeted, referring to the traditional celebration in New York City and it’s dropping crystal ball.
The bizarre message got almost 2,000 likes and close to 1,000 retweets before it was removed. Just as many people replied – and most of them were not happy, to put it mildly.
“Delete this” was a running theme, while some of the current and former military reacted with “Whiskey Tango Foxtrot,” which should be read as an acronym.
“This is not funny or cool or inspiring or anything. Just poor taste,” said one commenter, who said his father flew B-52 bombers back in the 1960s.
“Maybe a little more ‘Happy New Year!’ and a little less ‘Watch our powerful bombs of mass destruction’,” another commenter suggested.
There were also the inevitable memes inspired by the cult movie ‘Dr. Strangelove,’ that seemed apropos.
Someone even wondered whether STRATCOM was being racist, not understanding that “Whiteman” is a reference to the Air Force base in central Missouri, home of the B-2.
STRATCOM eventually deleted the tweet and offered an apology, saying it was “in poor taste and does not reflect our values.”
Only 21 units of the ambitious Cold War stealth bomber were ever built, at astronomical costs, and fewer than a dozen are currently fit to fly, according to multiple reports.

Lol…Ooooo, Ahhhh! B-2 Spirit?
There are only 21 of them. Sub sonic so can not be used to defeat Russian and Communist Chinese Hypersonic missiles. Only good for a sneak first strike …that the US will not do!
That can’t happen anyway because the very few special climate control bases are taken out first, in a sneak first strike that the Russians and Communist Chinese made them for!
Shelter system[edit]
B-2s are supported by portable, environmentally-controlled hangars called B-2 Shelter Systems (B2SS).[117][118] The hangars are built by American Spaceframe Fabricators Inc. and cost approximately USD$5 million apiece.[118] The need for specialized hangars arose in 1998 when it was found that B-2s passing through Andersen Air Force Base did not have the climate-controlled environment maintenance operations required.[117][118] In 2003, the B2SS program was managed by the Combat Support System Program Office at Eglin Air Force Base. [117] B2SS hangars are known to have been deployed to Naval Support Facility Diego Garcia and RAF Fairford.[117][118]

Next?…………………… The F-35C…with a short 900 mile range?? ooooo, ahhhh!
Russia’s defense ministry says the Hypersonic missiles zigzagged its way north and east for more than 3,000 miles before hitting a practice target in the Kura training ground in the Kamchatka region, in Russia’s far northeast.
