14 IV 2017: The M.O.A.B.

Well, the U.S. dropped the Massive Ordinance Air Blast, its largest non-nuclear bomb, on I.S. tunnels in Afghanistan, and managed to kill a total of thirty-six I.S. militants, a bargain at only $3250 per kill. Mr. Trump’s foreign policy, or, rather, his thoughtless reactions to events in a world that he does not understand appear to have him spinning like a whirly-gig. But that is not the case, for the M.O.A.B. and the cruise missiles are not part of a foreign policy, but of domestic strategy. Their purpose is to re-direct attention from the incompetence and shady dealings of the Trump regime, and if the irregularities of his campaign and the demolition of the federal government become undeniably apparent, he will start a war.
