Well.
Looks like we got ourselves an old-fashioned war President here.
srs biniz.
The U.S. dropped a bomb containing 11 tons of explosives on an ISIS cave complex in Afghanistan’s Nangarhar province on the border with Pakistan on Thursday, a Pentagon spokesman confirmed to CBS News’ David Martin.
The bomb is officially called a GBU-43 or Massive Ordnance Air Blast (MOAB), leading to its nickname as the “mother of all bombs.” It is the largest non-nuclear bomb in the U.S. arsenal and has never before been used in combat.
“The strike was designed to minimize the risk to Afghan and U.S. Forces conducting clearing operations in the area while maximizing the destruction of ISIS-K fighters and facilities,” the Pentagon said in a statement, using the term for the Islamic State’s Afghanistan branch.
The military also said the U.S. “took every precaution to avoid civilian casualties with this strike.”
I totally forgot about Afghanistan.
Here’s the bomb:
Here’s the explosion:
Huh.
And okay, this is ISIS, so it is in-line with campaign speech. But it has a new context now. This exists in context of a global escalation of everything – Syria, Russia, North Korea, the whole deal.
This is a threatening demonstration.
Sean Spicer has said just now that we are demanding Iran release hostages – he announces that immediately after the bomb drops. The biggest non-nuclear bomb in the world, which has never been used before right now.
Here’s the Fox 10 Live Stream with ongoing updates on what the hell this even means.
At time of writing, Sean is on there trying to explain what the fuck is even going on.
Are we going to have a World War, or what, exactly?
Please, Mr. Trump. I mailed you a Bluray of “WarGames.”
Watch it.
UPDATE:
MOAB Facts
- Up to 1,000 yards: Obliterates everything.
- Up to 1 mile: Knocks people, tents, light buildings, cars and jeeps over within 1-mile radius.
- Up to 1.7 miles: shock wave kills people, causes severe damage to buildings, equipment, blows trucks, tanks off road.
- Up to 2 miles: causes deafness.
- Up to 5 miles: shakes ground, breaks windows.
- Up to 30 miles: 10,000 foot high mushroom cloud visible.
Apparently, it rivals the bomb used on Hiroshima.
I’m assuming it was very expensive.
I Want to be Clear
I’m not opposed to bombing ISIS in Afghanistan.
But there is context here.
A whole lot of context.
If this had happened 10 days ago, we would all be cheering. But we are living in a world that is very different than the world we were living in ten days ago. And in this world, this is sending a signal to a lot of people I’m not confident we want to be sending signals to.
