Flight-tracking websites showed dozens of Air Force aerial refueling planes departing from military bases in the United States and heading to Europe on Sunday, fueling speculation of direct U.S. involvement in the widening Israeli-Iranian war.

Military-focused news sites reported that around 30 U.S. Air Force KC-135R and KC-46A tankers were identified by flight-tracking software in what The Times of Israelcalled an "unprecedented mass deployment" to Europe.

How nice of the president to get congress' permission first. Glad he's doing everything by the book.

Even if he did, are we pretending this congress will say no? When they haven't so much as even objected to all the other blatantly illegal shit he's done?
