That bad boy has a one mile killing radius. Glad to see they finally found a proper mission for it.

It’s about time we started dropping bombs on these savages, instead of throwing bodies at them. All this whiz bang high tech crap we have and we still make small groups fight it out on the ground.

“Bunker buster. Killing rats in their holes”

Actually, I’m not sure if this one would be termed a “bunker-buster” as it explodes (air-burst) just before impact (~10 ft?).

Although, I’m willing to be corrected...

Trump just updating the Gadsden motto to "Don't f*** with me!"

It’s a thermobaric bomb. Explosion so intense it sucks oxygen out of their lungs and they suffocate. Oh and it vaporizes them too.

Thanks.
I bet it made one hell of a “Krump” (what the big artillery always sounds like to me from a distance...) when it went off...

You are correct.

Donald Trump is an alpha male who thinks big.

He is staking out his global territory. That does not make him a globalist.

I like “Stomp a mudhole in you chest and piss it full”.

Great.
How many ‘ISIS’ did they kill?
Now what about ISIS in Sinai, Somalia, Egypt, Libya, Yemsen, Sudan, Mali, Nigeria .....

If it changes the course of events over there for the positive, great. If it produced nothing more than a bunch of crushed stone, then a lot of noise and money for nothing.

I'm sure that Trump spends lots of time worrying about what you think.
Maybe you could join his Fakebook page?

Me alone? Certainly not. Lots of people who have the same thoughts? Absolutely. Remember, he’s poll driven. Polls, approval and applause are his core values. Belive me, if this turns like Iraq did on Bush, you’ll see a shift in philosophy.

LOL...I know you’re joking but I’ll explain for GPs. MOAB stands for Massive Ordnance Air Blast. Someone dubbed it Mother Of All Bombs. It’s sort of like US being dubbed Uncle Sam. ;-)

Someone else may have done this on this thread, but I wanted to add this just in case.

This MOAB bomb was estimated to carry 21,600 lbs of TNT. LINK

That is 10.53 tons of TNT. (1 ton = 2000 pounds)

Definition of a kiloton: LINK

The Hiroshima bomb was pegged at 15 thousand tons of TNT and the Nagasaki bomb was pegged at 21 thousand tons of TNT. LINK
