HOT HOT US Drops Massive Non-Nuclear Bomb in Afghanistan



Oh yeah, Donald Trump the peace president,

Trump continues to literally blow-up the Libertarians for Trump movement.

The US military has dropped an enormous bomb in Afghanistan, according to four US military officials with direct knowledge of the mission, reprots CNN.

A GBU-43/B Massive Ordnance Air Blast Bomb, nicknamed MOAB, was dropped at 7 p.m. local time Thursday, the sources said.

The MOAB is also known as the "mother of all bombs." A MOAB is a 21,600-pound, GPS-guided munition that is America's most powerful non-nuclear bomb.

The bomb was dropped by an MC-130 aircraft, operated by Air Force Special Operations Command, according to the military sources.

They said the target was ISIS tunnels and personnel in the Achin district of the Nangarhar province.

This is the first time a MOAB has ever been used in the battlefield.

Via The Daily Mail:

"Anyone at the blast site was vaporized."

  1. I thought we had won the Afghanistan War and degraded and defeated ISIS. Now they have merged in some tunnel. Must have all been #FakeNews.

  2. It's a shame Hillary didn't win. She would have brought all the troops home.

  3. Nations that run around the world pointlessly blowing things up should be defeated. Their aircraft should be shot down, and their murderous troops should be stopped from further predations by whatever means prove necessary.

  4. As libertarians, we do want ISIS defeated don't we?

    1. Who is "we" in your sentence? If you or any other individual wants to fight ISIS, the libertarian in me says go right ahead, and wishes you success. On the other hand, if you're advocating to force everyone in the country to shell out money to battle a group that shows no signs of being a threat to America, I'd call that highly non-libertarian.

      John Quincy Adams had it right, I think, when he said "[America] goes not abroad, in search of monsters to destroy." History has proven time and time again that failing to heed that advice brings disaster.
