Wouldn't that be a nuke?
This thing is the size of a school bus and has to be delivered by a slow prop driven cargo plane.
The plane would be immediately shot down the moment it entered Iranian airspace.
Right, but is that gonna stop Trump or Hegseth?
Are you sure? He dropped one on Iran in his first term, too, to take out an Iranian general. This is likely why it has even come up at all. He remembers it from term 1.
It's usually dropped by the C-130, which is a turboprop, not a naturally aspirated prop. There is a big difference between the two
Standard cargo variant also goes 300kts. Slow to fighter jets, but faster than most turbos. They would also very likely be using a faster variant
I don't think the delivery of the MOAB would be an issue. Thebissue is we have no strategic goals being furthered by its use. It'll just further galvanize the populace against the US
Wait, how does this benefit Americans?
I mean other than satiating brain damaged conservative's thirst for aggression.
Opens up orders for new bomb production, maintains well paying jobs, creates new ones.
The military industrial complex is pork barrel politics disguised as jobs programs.
But he keeps telling me that Iran’s military capabilities are completely destroyed…
There's a joke that could be made about how the first Moab was born of incest just like the last known MOAB, but I'm not clever enough to come up with it.
Well, the daughters were under the impression that the entire world had been destroyed and that it was their duty to repopulate the earth. The only man around was their dad and they had booze, and so they liquored him up. It’s the rare example of a man being raped in the Bible!
It’s an all-around awful story is what I’m saying.
I wonder what part of the curriculum that’ll be in these days.
Trump has made it clear since before that he will gladly start WW3 if it means he stays in power. Why is anyone surprised?
Woa, they must have found a huge all girls boarding school to use this bad boy on. /s Maga amirite you fucking morons
Can’t wait for Trump to talk about this.
They called it the MOTHER of all bombs. All bombs folks. Perhaps it should be Father of all bombs. Because I am the father. I am your father and I can do that you know because I am the president. I can name things. Gulf of America remember that. I said it’s americas gulf not Mexico. They’ve wanted to call it that for 132 years did you know that. Nobody knew that. I knew that
Other sources report that he's the most evil of all the Oompa Loompas.
Does anyone else remember way back when when Trump was against new wars?
MAGA has become everything they claimed to hate.
