The media is awash with enthusiastic reports that the US military has employed the largest conventional bomb ever designed, the Massive Ordnance Air Blast bomb or “MOAB” (18,000 lbs. of explosive, 22,000 lbs. total weight) on a cave-bunker complex in near Tora Bora in Afghanistan – the same place Osama bin Laden was supposedly hiding not long after 9-11.
The US says the complex was being used by ISIS.

(ZHE) Perhaps in preparation for upcoming events on the Korean Peninsula, CNN reports the US military has dropped an enormous bomb in Afghanistan, according to four US military officials with direct knowledge of the mission.

Is this a test run? Was it meant to send a message?
This is very disturbing news and will garner lots of attention, for sure.
The Pentagon has confirmed that the United States dropped a Massive Ordnance Air Blast Bomb, the largest non-nuclear weapon in its arsenal, on an ISIS tunnel target in Afghanistan, in the Achin district of Nangarhar.
The blast radius of the bomb is believed to be over 300 meters.
The strike was carried out using a 21,000lb weapon known in the US Air Force by its nickname MOAB, or “mother of all bombs”.

Update 2:  The Pentagon has admitted to mistakenly killing 18 Syrians in an airstrike on April 11th:

Russian President Vladimir Putin meets with then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in Vladivostok, Russia in 2012.
One of the main foreign policy goals set out by President Trump after his election in November was a normalization of US-Russia relations. While that hope appears a distant memory now, with US and Russian officials seemingly agreeing that ties are worse than ever, it apparently never got better in the first place.

Time for Trump to launch Tomahawk missiles on US airbases in Iraq, after another horrendous US airstrike killed Kurdish moderate rebels, who are fighting ISIS.
The US-led coalition accidentally struck the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) in Tabqa on April 11, killing 18 moderate Syrian rebels fighting against ISIS.
The US Central Command said in a press release…

Finally some honesty in the US mainstream media. It’s evil honesty, but it is honesty nonetheless.
Since Trump’s heroic missile strike on a Syrian airbase, where 23 of 59 missiles successfully hit the runway pavement, the liberal left warmongers are quickly removing their masks in giddy anticipation of global conflict.
And by the way, NYT, we know that you know, the US has been partnering with ISIS, Al Nusra, Al Qaeda and all other “moderate rebels” for over six years, to overthrow Assad.

Syria has stated that US led coalition bombings of ISIS in Deir ez-Zor hit a chemical weapons depot used by ISIS.
The resultant chemical weapons explosions are said to have killed ‘several hundred civilians’.
The statement from the Syrian General Staff reads.

(ANTIMEDIA) Who benefits from a military strike on the Syrian government? Certainly not the ideals that Donald J.
