95,000 human beings live where Trump just dropped the biggest non nuclear bomb in Afghanistan w/ a blast radius of a mile in every direction

7Days - distraction is my guess. Anything to look "presidential" and distract from Russia.

Bloody hell! Although the Independent article said that the Pentagon said its been in the planning stages for months so possible pre-Trump? Though I bet he thinks of it as an extension of his penis.

Also new thread time, chop chop.

Waiting for UN reaction. PLEASE can they slap sanctions on Trump/US for this to damage his "brand"??

#MOAB was a "precise" 18,000 lbs of explosives that in no way threatened, killed or deafened civilians in the vicinity. #alternativefacts pic.twitter.com/EWSoGrofI8

Presumably, Obama had the option of deploying this bomb, but didn't.

I can imagine Trump jumped up and down when he found out the US had this weapon.

"In the planning stages for months" can mean anything from Obama planning to use it to a random comment made by some General in the Pentagon over coffee to Trump wanting a distraction from Russiagate. What 'the story' will turn out to be will depend on the reaction.

Absolute horror = "It was Obama's plan!!!"
Public apathy = "General X suggested it, I just went along with it"
Wild cheers = "It was all me. I did it. I said drop the biglyest bomb!!"

GBU-43/B's thermobaric effects are so powerful it has created an instantaneous vacuum of discussion on other defense topics for the day.

Depending on the public reaction, Trump might go as far as to tweet that Obama ordered the bombing from his post-Presidential holiday.

GBU-43/B's thermobaric effects are so powerful it has created an instantaneous vacuum of discussion on other defense topics for the day.

It makes me wonder if he's paving the way to actual nuke deployment.

45 has only been able to deploy since late January and we've already seen MOAB used. I guess that people all over the world are thinking 'What next?', Pain.

Seems to be a lot of chatter of the net closing rapidly

It cannot close fast enough. This is getting very scary, very quickly

Intel from 7 countries picked up Russian Intel's contacts with Trump team, yet Comey chose to go public about Clinton email and not this!

Adam Khan‏ @Khanoisseur
Latest Guardian report on Trump-Russia makes Comey's decision to block Obama from going public all the more baffling

Adam Khan‏ @Khanoisseur
The British alerted FBI in "late 2015" about suspicious contacts between Trump team and Russian intel–Comey doesn't move until late July

Adam Khan‏ @Khanoisseur
Comey's proposed op-ed re Russian interference would have simply recycled info from old declassified report

...there are more tweets in the thread you can read here:

Lweji Ha! That's very likely true!

cozie Less than 90 days in!! 90 fucking days!! It feels like centuries.

MrsT And I hope this MOAB speeds up that net! If the people doing the tightening had any 'agenda' in mind, they need to toss that agenda out and just close the net already!

Kushner and Ivanka are heavily involved in trade and such with China. I wouldn't be surprised if they're tied up in that.

Q: Did you authorize the Afghanistan bomb?

Trump: “Everybody knows exactly what happened. What I do is I authorize my military.”
