“I love the smell of a MOAB in the morning”

The US dropped its largest non-nuclear bomb ever used in combat on eastern Afghanistan on Thursday in another dramatic show of military force by the Trump administration.

The GBU-43/B, colloquially known as the “mother of all bombs” or MOAB, targeted tunnels and bunkers in Achin district in Nangarhar province, built by fighters loyal to Islamic State who also kept prisoners there.

A GPS-guided demolition bomb with an 11-ton (US) yield of explosives, it explodes above ground with a radius of over a mile.

The bomb was dropped in the mountains close to Moman village in an area called Asadkhel. About 1.5 miles away, the impact was palpable.

President Trump has a way of getting people’s attention, doesn’t he?

First, let me say this:   I don’t have any special knowledge about the secret workings within the Trump administration.  Now, with that disclaimer out of the way, let’s connect the dots……

North Koreans love parades.

• This weekend, North Korea will be celebrating the 105th anniversary of the birth of Kim Il Sung, North Korea’s first nut-job leader and “eternal president,” who happens to be the late grandfather of the current nut-job leader, Kim Jong Un.  The celebration will include lots of fireworks, hundreds of dancing maidens twirling flags, and will showcase a huge military parade of tens of thousands of troops, with scores of tanks, missiles and rocket launchers.
• Also this weekend, the United States Navy battle group featuring the nuclear-powered U.S.S. Carl Vinson, with its squadrons of fighter planes and myriad other weapons of eye-opening destructive power, will just happen to be steaming around in the Sea of Japan (which also just happens to be really, really close to North Korea).
• President Trump thinks that Kim Jong Un is a bad guy who needs to be militarily spanked.
• President Trump just got done militarily spanking a different bad guy on the other side of the world for doing something really stupid.
• Kim Jong Un (who is also really stupid) will be all happy and giggly and dancing and clapping his hands while he is watching his big parade on April 15th.
• President Trump doesn’t want Kim Jong Un to be all happy and giggly and dancing and clapping his hands while watching the big parade on April 15th, or at any other time, for that matter.

What is that noise?

SO…….

Keep your TV turned on this coming weekend. There might be something happening that you wouldn’t want to miss.
