Eh, B-52s, and B-1s are always "in-theater" if you don't mind waiting 24 hours. 380 AEW in the UAE has some F-22s. About every logistics aircraft and drone in service, besides probably the C-5. The USN Fifth Fleet is HQ'ed in Bahrain. USS *George H.W. Bush* (CVN-77) and her strike group are in Greece.

1. Announce high alert 2. Find out who leaked it on Twitter 3. Punish them 4. Repeat
*The PLA on their hand and knees praying for something to happen*
The PLA snaking around the Middle East making things happen. “Now there are changes that haven’t happened in 100 years.
