Interesting.

Military Twitter was buzzing last week about a massive US Air Fleet burning circles in the Middle East and everyone was assuming that some type of strike was in the works.

Nothing came of it.

Wonder what that was about?

Regardless it looks like they're getting the Qatar Air Force fully in the mix (as if they weren't before) in the side taking in the simmer and sometimes hot regional war.
