    I wonder if this is in any way tied to the news of Russia firing “nuclear capable” missile into Ukraine. Maybe that was a warning the next one will have a live warhead. If this government knew something like that was coming, they would definitely try and keep it secret as long as possible.

      Nah.

      As much as it seems more logical the truth is not any genuine concern. They just want to flex and figure the “Doomsday plane.” Is a far more bombastic ride to arrive in then a standard government plane

      My guess is this Hegseth flexing. Any one in this position of leadership could have done this but none of them were so low class that they would have.
