1488D Monopoly: Trump Drops “Mother Of All Bombs” On Afghanistan

Just a couple of weeks ago, I would have been cheering at the news of this event, and would have been calling for at least a dozen more MOAB strikes against the ISIS capital of Raqqa to end this idiotic conflict once and for all – or at least to make a point.

But now?

Now I’m just worried that Trump – at the behest of the Jews – will use this largest of all conventional weaponry to try and intimidate nations best left alone at this point in time.

From Fox News:

The U.S. military dropped its largest non-nuclear bomb on an ISIS tunnel complex in eastern Afghanistan on Thursday, a U.S. defense official confirmed to Fox News.

The GBU-43B, a 21,000-pound conventional bomb, was deployed in Nangarhar Province close to the Afghanistan/Pakistan border. By comparison, each Tomahawk cruise missile launched at a Syrian military air base last week weighed 1,000 pounds each.

The MOAB — Massive Ordnance Air Blast — is also known as the “Mother Of All Bombs.” It was first tested in 2003, but hadn’t been used in combat before Thursday.

Pentagon spokesman Adam Stump said the bomb had been brought to Afghanistan “some time ago” for potential use. The bomb explodes in the air, creating air pressure that can make tunnels and other structures collapse. It can be used at the start of an offensive to soften up the enemy, weakening both its infrastructure and morale.

“As [ISIS’] losses have mounted, they are using IEDs, bunkers and tunnels to thicken their defense,” Gen. John Nicholson, commander of U.S. forces in Afghanistan, said in a statement. “This is the right munition to reduce these obstacles and maintain the momentum of our offensive against [ISIS].”

President Trump told media Thursday afternoon that “this was another successful mission” and he gave the military total authorization.

Trump was also asked whether dropping the bomb sends a warning to North Korea.

North Korea is a problem, the problem will be taken care of,” said Trump.

Donald, probably best to not antagonize the North Koreans for much longer if you want to avoid a nuclear war.

MOAB deployment may be all nice and fuzzy (they’re about as powerful as the original atomic bombs dropped on Japan), but a nuke or three dropped on top of our navy – and over Tokyo, Seoul, and Kyoto – trumps whatever you’re trying to accomplish (pun intended).

But you’re not in charge of your own destiny and policy anymore, are you Mr. President?

Didn’t think so.
