What are the implications of US using MOAB against ISIS?

Former Green Beret Ben Collins and former diplomat Ric Grenell react

[taddmason]

War is cruelty. There is no use trying to reform it. The crueler it is, the sooner it will be over.
War is the remedy that our enemies have chosen, and I say let us give them all they want.

At the end of the day, we have to support our troops who fight for us everyday. That bomb saved American military lives and the call was the right choice.

[jayasuriyas]

Hope Kim has an internet connection to see this.

[thrummer]

The implication is that Trump isn't playing around.

[brambleq]

It's not "intended to use against tonnels", it is designed to clear jungle for helicopter pads.

[dikyoda]

Hit North Korean facilities with like 15 of those!

[anthonyj.barton]

Great idea for land clearing so we can start getting ready to strip the land for the minerals. To start paying for our work we do over there so we here in America don't have to finance the work we do for them over there. Make America Great again.

Getting back to "peace through strength!"

MOAB killed around 90 ISIS terrorists. Many villages were located in narrow strip of mountains. they all have been destroyed. hundreds of villagers, women and children have died. All animals, live stock, birds and wild life in the area have been killed. US marines have locked down the area. no one is allowed to visit the area. many people are protesting because their families and relatives living in the area have been killed. Afghan security agencies have stopped thousands of people from visiting their homes located in the area. MOAB attack was catastrophic. International media is silent. Situation in this area is critically bad. You can not distinguish between human remains and animal remains. There is massive hate for USA in Afghanistan.

PAKISTAN AND AFGHANISTAN AND OTHER COUNTRIES NEED TO STAND UP AND SPEAK OUT AGAINST THE TERRORISTS IN THEIR MIDST !! WE HAVE TO FIGHT THEIR BATTLES BECAUSE THEY CAN NOT OR WILL NOT !! ENOUGH !!

[italoarrue]

Sorry if I "go too far" but, may this have anything to do with the Moab mentioned in Isaiah (chptr. 16) just before mentioning Syria's destruction (chptr. 17)? I am not religious but read a lot. May the inventer of this bomb be descendant of the ancient moabites? Hope not to be too crazy

[TheJonnyzeus]

Was the dropping of this bomb in retaliation for the death of a single green beret? Can we expect something similar on a pro rate basis in future?

[Elmyda-vcew]

It's a bird, no it's a plane, nope just a giant fucking

[AbdulBasit-wxvj]

Any action U.S takes in Afghanistan is non of our business unless it's implications or it will effect Pakistan

[killbot]

So it's ok to drop 21- 1000lb bombs in 1 go from a B52. But you drop 1- 21, 000 bomb, and it's a major thing?

[cymbolichuman]

Many are glad that the military can take action, and many will lend support. On the other side of the coin, there are those, (myself included) who believe that this action is a beginning of another "Great War". Once you throw that rock, expect a lot of rocks being flung back at us. Good Luck America, because I want to live!

[dylanomalley]

MOAB isn't news, we drop dozens of 500lb-2000lb bombs everyday. One 20, 000lb makes no difference.

[lindaft]

every living thing is killed one mile from every direction from blast. How many civilians did this kill?

[elchippe]

Killing a fly with a cannon, Jesus fucking Christ.

[gamingsystem]

I was at Eglin AFB, when was 1st tested and I refused the C130 that dropped the 1st test bomb. lol shortly after the Base bowling alley was selling a MOAB on the menu 😄
