MOAB (mother of all bombs) dropped for first time.

Nah, people in the cities would be eating eachother sure, but out here we have a whole lot more free range food and energy per person than the concrete jungle..

 

china isn't that stupid, we would end them..

 

Trump drops A MOAB

Trump drops OBAMA

O the irony, guess Barry really did kill some terrorists after all.

Hope they put some pig blood in it.

 

it was something being planned for months apparently.

i don't know if it was originally ordered by Obama or the military was acting on its own. but it would've been contemplated before Trump took office. so the tabloids agree to.

stuff like this takes a lot of planning anyway. so i'm not surprised.

Donald Duck looked just as surprised as everyone else, likely that the previous government was actually working on stuff behind the scenes.

in fact trump jumped on the syrian attack, but stumbled around this one. its clear he had nothing to do with it, but glad it happened.

 

When the conflict is internecine, the nations are at peace with each other. But now we have this ignorant blowhard in office unilaterally firing missiles into Syria and dropping bombs on Afghanistan.... to what end? Hell if anyone knows, and he obviously doesn't care about long-term strategy. What's next, shooting up North Korea? I'll take another year of civil war in Syria over a U.S.-led war in Iraq any day.

 

Why do you think there were tunnels there? Or that anyone was in them? What is your information source? A crystal ball?

 

We have a glorified idiot in the WH, I can agree to that. I'm very doubtful on Conspiracy, but I do think we need to be saved from Idiot galore before he does something irreversable and dangerous. I think Berlin 1945 should be a reminder to all countries IMO.

 

It's all the other white supremacist closeted gay men peeing on him that turns his hair orange.

 

Um, would someone please tip off the US that IS is in Syria, and that it's the Taliban which is in Afghanistan. I expect the Talibs wondered WTF was going on if they were underneath this super-bomb.

 

Hmmmm. Interesting.

From the first link: "Hundreds of Taliban fighters have joined ISIS' new branch in Pakistan"

Pakistan isn't in Afghanistan! Can't be bothered to look up the second link.

 

Can't be bothered? It's painfully obvious you didn't bother to read the full first link.Don't blame you. It only makes you look foolish.

 

'Massive Ordinance Air Blast'......Just sayin'.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GBU-43/B_Massive_Ordnance_Air_Blast

 

Specifically, which part of the link states that Islamic State is established in Afghanistan?

 

If you think those Chinese troops are there to defend the DPRK you need to dramatically improve your sources.

China knows damned well that Chinese troops would be treated as invaders if they crossed the Yalu, no matter what the situation. It isn't 1950. Those troops are there in case there is a need to rapidly install a friendlier & more pliable regime. China has been trying to do that without troops for some time now with zero success. The current government in the DPRK is very much an impediment to China. It wants a buffer state, not a loose cannon.

If you think those nukes Kim is developing are just going to be aimed south & east you need to think again. That is one of the reasons China wants the nukes gone & one of the reasons the DPRK ain't never going to do that. Kim knows that the biggest threat to him is on his northern border, not his southern one.

 

ISIS has been recruiting in Afghanistan for some time. There's a documentary about it if you cared to look.

 

Putin, you mean...

 

What message is he sending?

 

Perhaps you should read my post again? I used the word "capable" and used in comparison to the Sarin attack. You may then see the point of my post. I can guarantee to you that if that same amount of sarin gas (a WMD) was dropped in the location of that MOAB detonation point that few if any would have died since sarin is quite useless in deserts and open spaces. I can guarantee to you that if that MOAB was dropped in the location of the Sarin detonation point, tens of thousands would have been killed and many more subsequent deaths from diseases. So tell me, which "weapon" is really a WMD and tell me which one makes money for the west?

The US desires constant turmoil in the Middle East and Far East for its military industry. What is ironic is that the supposed target are a series of tunnels and the made up number of deaths is 37 (don't know how on earth could that figure be obtained!). Now instead of using $330M dollar bomb, they could have used a few hundred dollars worth of sarin aimed directly into the tunnels to achieve the same outcome, but hey, the categorised WMD list does not make money.

 

Whether or not the US required constant war in the Middle East to enable it's military machine is beside the point.

There is constant war. There always has been and there always will be.
Not just in the Middle East either. So let us have strong militaries to reduce the likelihood of it every happening here.
Let us sell our guns to whoever will buy them, so that we may afford guns of our own.

When there was no American military industry at all.... there was still constant war in the Middle East. So by a process of elimination, that isn't the cause of it.

 

The Middle East is warrior country - it's in their DNA. They live and breathe death, destruction, and warfare.

 

Assuming you mean we could end China you are correct on one part and that is yes we could end them since we have more nukes and much a more superior delivery system. Of course the radiation created and dispensed into the earth, oceans, atmosphere would in 20 years reduce the world's population and very likley alter human DNA. My guess is that the amount of radiation released would be 100,000 times that of Chornobyl ( BTW I do not recognized the filthy Russified Chernobyl transliteration of Chornobyl).

 

As do I.

No country has a greater warrior tradition than our own.

I am a student of death. It's master and it's future victim.
Warrior in all that I think and do.

 

That endless rounds of talks, condemnations, and piles of paper are a thing of the past. if the US feels a threat, it will take action.

He is sending that message and the world hears it.

China recently turned away NK coal, in favor of American coal and just sent some of their top Nuclear Negotiators to NK to try and talk them down. They also just recently did this at the UN.

The era of weakness from the prior Administration is over and the world sees it.

 

That suspposition is not realistic. The capabilities of most minor and regional Powers are well known.
