We seem to have settled on a reason for the sudden withdrawal of US bombers from England after the group of middle eastern "British" men were caught doing something shady around Fairford air base. It seems terrorists, probably at Iranian direction, were planning a mass drone attack on the airbase, the way Ukraine carried one out against Russian bombers. The men arrest outside the base were part of a diversion scheme. Leslie Eastman at LI, Suspected Iranian Drone Plot Prompts U.S. Bomber Withdrawal from Britain, "Some officials said they believed the plot was loosely inspired by Ukraine’s attack on Russia last year, when it smuggled drones deep into the country and launched them from semi-trucks." Dave Strom at Hat Hair sees Details Drip, Drip, Drip Out About Fairford Incident: Intended Drone Attack. From News Wax, UK Police Arrest 7th Man in Connection With Security Incident at US-Run Air Base. Sundance at CTH, Another Arrest Made in London, Connected to Terrorist Plot Against U.S. Military at RAF Fairford. NRO's Jim Geraghty, Suddenly, the U.S. Has No B-1 Bombers at RAF Fairford. "If the U.S. can find reasons to deem RAF Fairford or any other base on European soil not sufficiently secure for U.S. troops and weapons systems . . . well, that would be an easy way to justify moving those troops and weapons systems to the homeland, wouldn’t it?" CDR Salamander says We Need to Talk About RAF Fairford and the B-1B FLAPEX, "how many wake-up calls will we get?"

It looks like the anti-Iranian states in the mid-east are getting a bit tired of the Houthis, Iran's proxies in Yemen holding the Red Sea hostage. Duane Patterson at Hat Hair, The Dawn of Yemen.

Ace, Saudi Arabia Joins Yemen's Government in Attacking Iran's Houthi Proxy Army, "The IRGC's proxy army in Yemen, the Houthis, struck two Saudi airfields, with light damage. More seriously, they had also seized key positions on the southern tip of the Yemeni coast on the Red Sea, opening a second front for the IRGC to attack the export of oil in an effort to force the world to stop Trump from destroying them.

The political path of the Cornell rape allegation: 1) Initial police/DA investigation finds woman's participation was "voluntary, conscious, and consensual." No criminal charges filed. 2) Cornell University Office of Civil Rights investigation reaches finding consistent with police/DA, but concludes fraternity members violated school policies. Expels two frat members, suspends two others, bars one from campus, and shuts down fraternity permanently. 3) Seemingly settled, case fades. 4) Woman changes story, files much-publicized lawsuit blaming incident on fraternity, members, Cornell University, local bar, and her own sorority. 5) Case explodes politically. Local DA re-opens criminal investigation. NY governor appoints AG Letitia James, famous for pursuing President Trump, as special prosecutor. 6) Media narrative emerges blaming Trump for alleged "glorification of being thuggish and swaggering and mistreating women is kind of making you a cool kid.""
