Apparently, we just dropped a 21,000 lb bomb on an ISIS camp in Afghanistan.
21,000 lbs. It has a destructive radius of a mile.

The news playing in the background says it's the 'largest non-nuclear weapon" our military has in it's arsenal.

What is the destructive radius of the early nuclear weapons we droppped? Seems like the lines are blurring with the idea of miniaturizing nukes.. freakin crazy

 

[Westy]

Shock and Awe!

Worked so well last time.

The way to eradicate terrorism is to make people too afraid to induce terror. Afraid of FREEDOM!

I've been reading up this thing is equiv to 11 tons of TNT, the Russians have a similar non-nuke equiv to 44 tons, teh wikis say they were developed to replace small nukes in battle (cause maybe that was never a good idea?)

Trump got the taste of blood, and likes it.

Every time he makes something go boom there are fewer headlines about him being a Putin puppet.

 

[rideit]

He'll bomb his way into greatness. I guess other presidents have done that.

"What should we drop the bomb on, sir: the mud huts, or the rocks?"

"IT DOESN'T MATTER, JUST USE THE DICK-BOMB"

 

[SkaredShtles]

"Mother do you think they'll drop the bomb?"

Poof! $16M vanishes just like that.

What, he ordered the bombing while on another trip to MarATrumpo in FL?

Pudding, it's always been pudding.

You haven't been following the news regarding chocolate cake and Trump.

Absolutely nothing at this point as to whether the weapon had its desired effect...

 

[Toshi]

Apparently cock-stroking infographics in USA Today and others comparing this to Hiroshima forgot that the nuke was in kilotons of yield. What's three orders of magnitude between friends?

Absolutely nothing at this point as to whether the weapon had its desired effect...

You mean requiring the contractors to build more weapons to replace what was used?

Dutch media reported at least(!) 36 isis fighters died in the attack.
Which is only about 10 people more then the number of people who died in a bus crash in Mexico the same day....

cheaper to round our enemies up and send them on a bus ride in mexico....

 

[JohnE]

Pretty expensive to kill 36 terrorists imho...but 45 knows better than all the generals, so I guess its okay.



No...no its not.

 

[mykel]

Hey, it is upto 96 killed.
Now THAT is value for money.

"I have reviewed the [White House's] document carefully, and I believe it can be shown, without doubt, that the document does not provide any evidence whatsoever that the US government has concrete knowledge that the government of Syria was the source of the chemical attack in Khan Sheikhoun, Syria at roughly 6am to 7am on 4 April, 2017.

At least we got to test out that big ass bomb, right?

All the worlds a stage....
