Interesting. Only reason I can think of for this coming up now is that if something goes boom over DG, the UK doesn't want it to count as an attack on their territory.Also explains why Trump was so nice to Starmer during their recent meeting, despite the latter being a filthy woke liberal leftist governor of England, the 57th state of the US (or somesuch 
).

B-2 Spirits Amassed On Diego Garcia Underscore Hardened Aircraft Shelter Debate
The remoteness of key forward operating locations no longer offers the level of protection, even against Iranian capabilities, it once did.-
It won't be before Friday, April 4th(if the attack takes place) if the attack takes place. Trump is focusing on his favorite phrase: "tariffs," which he plans to impose on almost every country in the world starting tomorrow, April 2nd, at 4 p.m. live from the White House.
They are to be unveiled on Wednesday, "Liberation Day," according to Donald Trump, during a ceremony at 4 p.m. local time at the White House. That is, just after the closing of the New York Stock Exchange, which has already begun to falter like other markets around the world.
So, the media is focusing on this.

Good point. I thought tomorrow about a month ago and even until yesterday. I did think we would move even more assets out. But it appears whilst pilots are sleeping on cots in hangars the US is continuing to deliver Thad patriot and ships (Aegis) to everywhere including some US locations. I’m unsure how long this is sustainable.
We have never pushed this much force outside the US since the Cold War. To be clear we have fought entire wars with less. Far less in most cases.

Yeah, the sheer scale of deployments is unprecedented in the post Cold War era. The U.S. has waged major wars with far fewer assets forward deployed both Gulf Wars, Afghanistan, and even the initial stages of Iraq 2003 didn't see this kind of pre positioning.
It only points to preparations for rapid escalation. The continued movement of THAAD, Patriot batteries, and Aegis ships signals a defensive posture, likely anticipating missile retaliation. But the sheer volume of firepower being staged makes it hard to see this as just a precaution.
The sustainability issue is real too. Operating at this intensity for long periods drains resources both logistical and human. A decision point is approaching soon.

Here's something interesting I noticed going through some OSINT sources:
Go onto FlightRadar24. Check what you see for the "most tracked flights". I'm getting a bunch of ground vehicles.
Now punch in a common prefix for USAF C-17's, "RCH" (short for REACH) and I have 17 up flying at the time of this post. With the buildup that is going on, why are these not on the most tracked?
DJ.."hard negotiations" at gunpoint ?
