GBU-43/B Massive Ordnance Air Blast or as it is more commonly referred to as a MOAB commonly called Mother of All Bombs. This weapon is the most powerful non-nuclear weapon in the US Air Forces Arsenal. With a weight of just under 19,000 lbs and a blast Yield equivalent to 11 tons of TNT.
If you wondering what 11 tons of TNT going off looks like this video is a pretty close to the size of the explosion:

Is the MOAB, the infamous Bunker Buster that was talked about, during Bush the Younger’s reign, being used on Iran’s underground nuke facilities….one and the same?
If so, why is the term Bunker Buster not being used today? ..It seems a message is also being sent to Iran as well as North Korea.

No. The ‘bunker buster’ was a cobbled-together munition, made from re-purposing the barrel of an obsolete US Army 8-inch artillery piece. This was packed with explosives, tipped with a nose cap, and trimmed out with tail feathers. That weapon was designed to penetrate the target, burrowing deep inside before detonating. Hence the title, ‘bunker buster’.
This weapon, the MOAB, or ‘Maximum Ordinance Air Burst’, is not a penetration munition. As its name suggests, it is designed to detonate above the ground (hence the term, “Air Burst”).

Shock-wave transmission causes a huge amount of damage. Buildings collapse through over-pressure, aka ‘concussive force’. Caves, the same. Humans (and every other living thing) perishes through direct blast shock and attendant over-pressure.

Baffling that anyone would consider anything but secrecy as Priority 1 in any war, Snaglle, especially the war against ISIS, right? The brilliant community-organizer strategy of the dweeb-on-a-girl’s-bike was so inept, the enemy would die of laughter before being caught in the “conflagration”.
Now… fingers are flying on grubby iPhones across the ME as word spreads among the vicious animals of ISIS – who knows when, where and how the next strike will be deployed. Our President is patient but decisive; he fires warning shots with minimal casualties for now… but he uses the big-boy toys. Message sent, message received.

Isn’t it Disgusting, that Our President, gets Much More Cooperation, from Russia, Communist China, Kazachistan, etc, to MAGA, than he gets from our own Government?
Of Course, they will further their own countries best interest First.
But it is in All the Worlds Interest, to Avoid Open War, and End War Crimes/Genocide.
Proof that the Globalist have Bad Intentions!
It is So Sad, that the World would be a Much Safer/Better place, if Our Government would all just Stay on Vacation. Permanently!
Well, at least Four more years.
Seriously.
What was achieved in Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq, and Syria.
If we had Not done a thing, how much worse would it be now?
Many Families, of all Nationalities, have been Sacrificed, for Globalist ($$) Agendas.
IF, we had just gone and Kicked Ass, maybe it would have been worth it.
And Our National Treasure, would be not have been Wasted.
Enough!
We now have a Leader with Common Sense, in addition to High Intellect.
He has the Ability, to stay above the Politics, and achieve a Better Solution.
Everyone is better off, and more secure.
Thus, we all have a better chance of Living our Dreams.
We must Pray, that God lets President Trump achieve what we Elected him to do.
MAGA=AMERICA FIRST!
And the Whole World knows, when American Values are Foremost, Everyone is better off.
THIS!, is the Time America was Destined for.
And it is Donald Trumps Destiny also.
When American Values really catch on Globally.
Now that’s some Globalism I can get behind!
But Islam, is a bigger threat than Communism ever was.
And Russia/China, are on board with stopping it. Thank God!
Press ON!, President Trump!!

I watched the presser yesterday and to set the record straight today, ABC radio flat out lied about it. They used a Trump quote from the presser, but asked it this way. “Did Putin know about the attack” and that is not what was asked. The question was if Putin might not have know about the attacks and Trump said it was unlikely and a very different way it was posed by ABC on purpose to change it’s meaning. They flat out lied when changing the question that way and should be sued or jailed for the misinformation, or at least be labeled fake news because they are..

Yes, while the fake news tries to catch the a White House under Trump less able by an egg count, President Trump decides it’s time to win this war. 16 years in Afghanistan, half of it rudderless under Obama.
Oh, and I am pretty sure the Egg Roll will be quite a nice event. I wasn’t worried.
