Trump's approval wasn't needed to drop MOAB

[MindWars]

The decision to drop the largest non-nuclear bomb ever used in combat was made by the top U.S. commander on the ground, officials told Fox News on Friday, after the so-called “mother of all bombs” was used to obliterate an ISIS target in Afghanistan.

I would say that a commander in the field needs to be able to defend his people without waiting for authorization to do so. We should make it clear to reps of other gov'ts who are not exactly our friends that if they even appear to pose a threat then they could get shot down or blown out of the water. Offensive moves might be another story though, we don't need a guy who is trying to make a name for himself starting WWIII. Convention weapons, okay. Nukes? Even small tactical ones, not so much.

Can USA finally hit any Iranian boat(s) getting too close? 30 years too late.

Question: In those hills in Afghanistan can you tell the difference between a tactical nuke and a MOAB? Blown up is blown up? I would not care. Is it the radiation? So what? No one should be in there afterwards? You have my permission in advance.

Korean guy was out in view today on the balcony. Oh my, I thought missile time.
