That does show the world

I'm thinking it was message to North Korea. Apparently that bomb has the destructive power to level 9 city blocks. Pretty impressive for non-nuclear.

We'd probably hit NK launch sites with something like that.

Japan and South Korea Navy are apparently joining the US Armada of carriers and destroyers in the area. NK is fucked if they try to test launch that nuke...

Combined with China refusal of NK coal they will quickly see their ability to pay for their nuclear program disappear. No more Chinese money.

Every President has figured out this thing. When you run into trouble, start a war and watch the country rally behind you.

Trump has figured out that any time he has bad news, all he has to do is to drop a few bombs somewhere and the media will eat it up and forget about the other topic. Works every time. And if things get really bad, like the FBI handing out any indictments on Russian collusion, just start a war with say, North Korea to distract everyone.

The United States dropped a massive GBU-43 bomb, the largest non-nuclear bomb it has ever used in combat, in eastern Afghanistan on Thursday against a series of caves used by Islamic State militants, the military said.

It was the first time the United States has used this size of bomb in a conflict. It was dropped from a MC-130 aircraft in the Achin district of Nangarhar province, close to the border with Pakistan, Pentagon spokesman Adam Stump said.

Also known as the "mother of all bombs," the GBU-43 is a 21,600 pound (9,797 kg) GPS-guided munition and was first tested in March 2003, just days before the start of the Iraq war.

General John Nicholson, the head of U.S. and international forces in Afghanistan, said the bomb was used against caves and bunkers housing fighters of the Islamic State in Afghanistan, also known as ISIS-K.

“This is the right munition to reduce these obstacles and maintain the momentum of our offensive against ISIS-K,” Nicholson said in a statement.

It was not immediately clear how much damage the bomb did.
