I think that Donald Trump and his top military advisers believe that N.Korea is the biggest threat that we face. And that Kim Jung-un must be stopped. The tomahawks into Syria had their tactical purpose there, but I think they were a clear message to N.Korea and China. In the same way, the MOAB had its tactical purpose in Afghanistan, but it too, I think, was meant to let Kim know in no uncertain terms that the colossal might of the United States is no longer muzzled. It's not just that we might drop a MOAB-- or four or five of them-- on his ass, but he better not think that he knows what President Donald Trump will or will not do-- and that includes nukes.

I think that this afternoon a brick dropped out the cuff of Kim's trousers, proving that that old saying is actually literally true.

I agree.

The useful show of force extends "From the Halls of Montezuma, to the shores of Tripoli".

Or as Buzz Lightyear sez: "To Infinity, AND BEYOND!"

America has long legs, long arms, the willingness and ability to bring it.

And doing things this way, allows the use of lesser force, accomplish goals, and send a message that provides ample time for NK to consider the continued belligerence.

And the world as well.

If America hits NK, it will have been after other means were exhausted and not like they had no idea the "stop", means "stop".

And very little outcry so far, from much of anyone.

Even Russia's comes off as lip service.

I think the statement has been made:

It's not going to be business as usual anymore.

Trump's message to the despots of the world seems to be that he isn't going to waste time with buttons that say "reset", his button says "launch"

I like it.

They offer several types of glitter bombs, as well as a bag of dicks (gummy candy) to eat.

I've seen those. I would just love to see one on this level, mixed with sand. Can you imagine that hell?

It's amazing what adding 21% powdered aluminum can do to a cast explosive as far as shock duration. Love that afterburn!

Anyone in those tunnels know has lungs that look like shredded sponges on the inside.

Have fun with that!

And I'm thinking Vlad is running around trying to kill someone to prove he's still the most masculine man around.

There's a new sheriff in town, and he's not afraid to drop a MOAB.

Pretty sure the NKs know that MOAB cannot be deployed in their theater though.

Any weapon that deploys from a 130 cannot be used in high threat environments (SAM/AAA infested and contested airspace) - MOAB, AC-130 gunship.

So if you used one of those things to weaponize glitter, what would be the glitter's lethal radius?

I think you are ignoring the secondary and tertiary spread of the glitter. There is no limit to the sparkling devestation.
