The problem with the MOAB.
the production cost and the cost of the bomb totals to a billion and change.
If anything we should work on bettering ourselves as a country first.

Nothing makes the Drumpfucks happier than bombing brown people.

26 Killed. How many more ISIS fighters were recruited because of the propaganda resulting from our continuous military interventionism?

Sorry, this was nothing more than Trump backing up his campaign promise of "if we have these weapons, why don't we use them?"

He said the same about nukes.

Well, obviously it's grandstanding. The bomb did its job. The real question seems to be whether this was a military action with useful results, or a political statement, the effects of which aren't clear. Perhaps both?

In my opinion, it was both. Intelligence obviously identified it as an ISIS position, while Trump and his military officials saw it as an opportunity to prove that he is somehow 'tougher' than Obama.

Of course, that's not exactly a good thing for Trump considering one of his main promises during his campaign was pulling out of the Middle East or at least reducing involvement. He is bound to lose supporters over his recent behaviour.

Well, he has certainly pissed off his high-profile supporters around the world due to the whole situation that happened in Syria and his approval rating was already rather low. Even /r/The_Donald - a subreddit that was created to support him - has been experiencing infighting over it.

In general I get a feeling that aggression by America against people in Afganistan is pointless.

That's just a feeling though, I don't have access to the relevant military intelligence to know for sure.


Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.

Impersonation is treason.
