The post U.S. Release Video Of Moment MOAB Hits Target In Afghanistan appeared first on Kev Baker Show.

US Forces in Afghanistan have released aerial footage of the Massive Ordnance Air Blast (MOAB) strike on an Islamic State cave and tunnel systems in the Achin district on Thursday.

Today reports are emerging that this massive ordinance was used in a strike that killed only 36 militants. This has led to the ex-Afghan President Karzai condemned the use of the MOAB in “strongest words”.

“This is not the war on terror but the inhuman and most brutal misuse of our country as testing ground for new and dangerous weapons,” he wrote on Twitter.

“It is upon us, Afghans, to stop the USA.”

Yet, the US commanders are quoted as saying the strike was “highly effective”.

THE MOAB

The Afghan defence ministry said it laid waste to the caves and ammunition caches but had not caused any civilian casualties.

“No civilian has been hurt and only the base which Daesh used to launch attacks in other parts of the province was destroyed,” spokesman Dawlat Waziri said.

The M.O.A.B., the largest non-nuclear device ever dropped at 21,000lbs, with the technical name of the GBU-43/B Massive Air Blast Bomb, is more commonly referred to as the  MOTHER OF ALL BOMBS.

Some say that Trump is doing a U-Turn from his campaign rhetoric, but he never hid his desire to take out ISIS, wherever they are.

So, is this just a case of Trump unleashing his forces on ISIS & terrorists wherever they may be?

Well, in my opinion the use of this weapon, and the timing of it, was not only to rout any terrorist fighters in that area, but to send a message around the globe to people such as Assad in Syria & probably directed at “Little Kim” in North Korea. Trump and his military were literally waving their manhood in the faces of their enemies!

Just as with every other war in the past, in particular the Vietnam war, Afghanistan is now being used as a testing ground for new weapons for future conflicts.

The question is, will Trump go one step further when it comes to that next conflict, probably a strike on N.Korea… Will he go nuclear?

      WHAT YOU DON’T KNOW AND SHOULD IS THAT THE MOAB ( in Hebrew: מוֹאָב‎) BOMB THEY DROPPED ON AFGHANISTAN HAS ISRAELI ROOTS—–READ AND BE AMAZED ABOUT THE IRONY OF THE USA NAMING A BOMB MOAB—–IT OPENS YOUR EYES TO WHO RUNS THE USA AND HEAVILY INFLUENCES IT AND TEH MID EAST POLICY—-DON’T BE FOOLED ANY LONGER, OEN YOUR EYES AND MIND – —– According to the biblical account, Moab and Ammon were born to Lot and Lot’s elder and younger daughters, respectively, in the aftermath of the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. The Bible refers to both the Moabites and Ammonites as Lot’s sons, born of incest with his daughters (Genesis 19:37-38). It is the historical name for a mountainous tract of land in Jordan. The land lies alongside much of the eastern shore of the Dead Sea. The existence of the Kingdom of Moab is attested to by numerous archaeological findings, most notably the Mesha Stele, which describes the Moabite victory over an unnamed son of King Omri of Israel. The Moabite capital was Dibon. According to the Hebrew Bible, Moab was often in conflict with its Israelite neighbours to the west. Moab occupied a plateau about 3,000 feet (910 m) above the level of the Mediterranean, or 4,300 feet (1,300 m) above the Dead Sea, and rising gradually from north to south. It was bounded on the west by the Dead Sea and the southern section of the Jordan River; on the east by Ammon and the Arabian desert, from which it was separated by low, rolling hills; and on the south by Edom. The northern boundary varied, but generally is represented by a line drawn some miles above the northern extremity of the Dead Sea. Despite a scarcity of archaeological evidence, the existence of Moab prior to the rise of the Israelite state has been deduced from a colossal statue erected at Luxor by pharaoh Ramesses II, in the 13th century BCE, which lists Mu’ab among a series of nations conquered during a campaign. The Moabites first inhabited the rich highlands at the eastern side of the chasm of the Dead Sea, extending as far north as the mountain of Gilead, from which country they expelled the Emim, the original inhabitants,[6] but they themselves were afterward driven southward by warlike tribes of Amorites, who had crossed the river Jordan. These Amorites, described in the Bible as being ruled by King Sihon, confined the Moabites to the country south of the river Arnon, which formed their northern boundary. God renewed his covenant with the Israelites at Moab before the Israelites entered the “promised land” (Deuteronomy 29:1). Moses died there, prevented by God from entering the promised land. He was buried in an unknown location in Moab and the Israelites spent a period of thirty days there in mourning.
      According to the Book of Judges, the Israelites did not pass through the land of the Moabites (Judges 11:18), but conquered Sihon’s kingdom and his capital at Heshbon. After the conquest of Canaan the relations of Moab with Israel were of a mixed character, sometimes warlike and sometimes peaceable. With the tribe of Benjamin they had at least one severe struggle, in union with their kindred the Ammonites and the Amalekites. The Benjaminite shofet Ehud ben Gera assassinated the Moabite king Eglon and led an Israelite army against the Moabites at a ford of the Jordan river, killing many of them. Ruth in the fields of Boaz by Julius Schnorr von Carolsfeld The Book of Ruth testifies to friendly relations between Moab and Bethlehem, one of the towns of the tribe of Judah. By his descent from Ruth, David may be said to have had Moabite blood in his veins. He committed his parents to the protection of the king of Moab (who may have been his kinsman), when hard pressed by King Saul. (1 Samuel 22:3,4) But here all friendly relations stop forever. The next time the name is mentioned is in the account of David’s war, who made the Moabites tributary.Moab may have been under the rule of an Israelite governor during this period; among the exiles who returned to Judea from Babylonia were a clan descended from Pahath-Moab, whose name means “ruler of Moab”.
