A U.S. Air Force "Doomsday Plane" arrived at Joint Base Andrews Tuesday night, fueling speculation of a potential U.S. role in the escalating Israel-Iran crisis.
The E-4B Nightwatch aircraft landed at the military facility in suburban Washington, D.C., as speculation grows over potential U.S. military action in Iran.
Why It Matters
The timing of the E-4B's deployment comes amid heightened tensions as President Donald Trump is reported to be inching closer to ordering military strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities. While the White House hasn't commented on the aircraft's latest movement, social media users are speculating it signals potential military readiness from the United States.

(8,096 posts)I will admit, his taking down of Jeb and W at the debate before 2016 was actually right on time. Trump nailed their ass and he was right and GOT BOOED by the Repukes in the crowd. Somehow, THAT guy turned all those boo birds into a loyal cult, abandoned any semblance he was PRO PEACE and has become a global menace.
It's so frustrating, part of the reason he won in 2016 is he took an ostensibly left-wing position on Iraq. It was a fucking ruse, but he did it.

The E-4B "Nightwatch,"dubbed the "Doomsday Plane" is a militarized Boeing 747. It serves as the National Airborne Operations Center and is a key component of the National Military Command System for the president, the secretary of defense and the joint chiefs of staff.
In a national emergency or loss of ground command, the aircraft "provides a highly survivable command, control and communications center to direct U.S. forces, execute emergency war orders, and coordinate actions by civil authorities," the U.S. Air Force said.
It was used during the September 11, 2001 attacks.
