I'm not sure where we're going but we're on our way.

And in such a lovely hand basket, too!

“Haaretz.com;Verified account @haaretzcom
Russia says its version of “Mother of All Bombs,” nicknamed “Father of All Bombs,” is 4 times stronger than #MOAB”

And they invented it first... (old Cold War joke).

That sounds like a good speculation.

Libs might freak out over the cost..but it sends a message.
We have spent a lot of time..8 years..being militarily weak.. Not the military. The use of it.

Yes, the revitalization of we won’t stand for your demonic behavior.
AND the years of “diplomacy” that maintain the status quo are OVER.
Kill the savages and get it over with. Allowing them to torture and kill other humans for 8 years is a crime.
Collateral damage?
Doing nothing led to the death of thousands anyway.

Remember that during the campaign DJT did say he’d bomb the s*** out of ISIS. Another campaign promise kept.

If he bombs Mecca I’ll start a petition to have him added to Mt Rushmore

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.

It’s a message.

The message is: “YOU kill one of ours and we’ll kill a thousand of yours.” The secondary message is: Trump’s nuts enough to really mean it...”
