A Pentagon spokesperson acknowledges, after the fact, that all bombers deployed to RAF Fairford have returned to their home bases in the United States, citing operational security for the earlier silence.
“While operational security precluded us from confirming the movement of our assets and forces in real time, we can acknowledge now that all US bombers that were deployed to RAF Fairford have redeployed to their home stations in the United States.”

JUST IN: The US has rushed to withdraw its B-1 bombers from an air base in England after commanders received new threats about an Iran-backed plot against the installation, per the NYT
-
Something about this whole affair seems off. It's terror! It's people stealing diesel! They were spotted by a farmer! One of them called the police on themselves! They're not a threat so they're out on police bail! They're such a threat that all the US bombers have been withdrawn! US removes all bombers from RAF Fairford back to home stations -…

Still sort of a breaking story deal. Here are couple in the last hour that I could find: 1) apnews.com/article/bomb... 2)

I mean Trump and Kegsbreath have waged this war about as poorly as it is possible for the USA to wage a war. We still haven't lost very many planes. I think like one AWACS a couple fuelers and two troop transports though that was because they crashed into each other rather than anything Iran did, 4 eagles and maybe one damaged F-35 though that…

So basically five muppets with a couple of vans is enough to see the US withdraw bombers from Europe? If the USSR had known that, the Cold War might have turned out quite differently. https://www. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cmwyve 191dlko

This whole ordeal is bizarre. It first started with the airbase raising the threat level to its highest level, "Delta". Then apparently a farmer noticed 3 vans in the village preparing what we thought was a terrorist attack. Then we were told they were stealing fuel. Then the PM says Iran was "probably involved in some way". Now the US is rushing…

There already is and has been for a few years. They have been doing rotational deployments of Squadrons of F16s. But that's not like what youd see in the EU where forces stay for 3-4 years at a time per member, this is a whole unit for 3 to 6 months at a time. I also dont think you can keep a unit there too long as the conditions are terrible for…

I don't think they have any out-and-out bombers operating out of Suffolk. Lakenheath's a fighter base (yes, the F-15s and F-35s can carry bombs, but their primary role is fighter, escort, and air superiority), and Mildenhall's their logistics base with the air-to-air refuelling tankers.

I have been having this reaction online since the late 90’s. Though that said I am happy you and I have come to an agreement. Hopefully your night or early morning is going well depending where in Europe you are.

OK here's the problem. If you do even a bungled terrorist attack on a US military base, and then the USA goes running for the hills, that sends a message that bombing these bases is an effective tactic. What does that mean for the ordinary people who live around these bases? They will live in fear now, that attacks will be coming and they could be…

Unless they're pulling them back now so we can't confiscate them when the US backs Argentina up for Falklands War II.
