    There's not a doubt in my mind that he would drop a nuke at some point. Anyone else play Fallout?

    So you're Iran. What are your thoughts? Way to ratchet the tension Chief. When will the republicans in congress realize Trump is unhinged and a threat to national security. Actions have reactions resulting in consequences.

    There shouldn't be a doubt in anybody's mind that he would do it.

    I wonder if this was done just as an entry in his never ending pissing contest, or was it a tactical decision made by someone who knows what they are doing.

    This seems like a pretty pretty remote area. If this were dropped on a cave/tunnel complex with no civilian causalities, what is the issue? Big if...

    Looks likes the reports of the investigations having concrete proof of collusion between the Trump campaign and the Russians must be true with this expensive distraction attempt.

    His reaction when talking about bombing Syria is pretty disturbing. Giddy like a 12 year old with a new destructive toy. Not a reaction that included thoughts about uncertainty, escalation, and increasing tension. And it wasn't confidence, it was more like 'look at me and what I can do now'.

    I mean, it was a bombing with absolutely zero risk and was all for show...

    Wonder if he's trying to distract from something

    TRUMP: I'm 'very, very proud' of the military's 'successful job' dropping 'mother of all bombs' on ISIS

    He seems pretty pleased with himself when things are blown up and people are killed. Not really a good sign. Next up, North Korea.

    It would be a good time for there to be some clarification and direction given on what the US plan of action or desired military involvement is going to be moving forward. Trump needs to address what our objectives are over there and if we are getting involved in a more intensive bombing and ground offensive.
    It's a hopeless situation...

    Weird timing. Just finished reading Pat Frank's Alas Babylon. Think I'll dig out my Carlin video- the one about us bombing shit. Laughter evens out the worry lines.

    I don't like trump at all but I see zero problems with this. We killed a lot of bad guys with that bomb while zero civilians were killed. An article I read today said a lot of locals are hoping that the U.S. Drops more bombs like this to get rid of isis.
    I'll ride the wave where it takes me......

    I hadn't heard that. I think it's still too early to know for sure what the results were.

    The results are the US spent $444,444 each for 36 kills and may or may not have destroyed a tunnel complex, in America's longest running foreign conflict. Accomplish any long term goal other than making Trump look like he's got a big dick? Maybe. Other than providing ISIS with further recruitment propaganda, I'm not sure it accomplished anything other than the aforementioned costs, deaths and destruction.
