Trumps Got a Mega-Bomb Designed to Hit North Korea

(And start WWIII)

Forget the U.S. Navy aircraft carrier that President Donald Trump claimed, wrongly, was steaming toward North Korea to punish Kim Jong Un’s regime for apparently testing a nuclear-capable ballistic missile last Saturday.

If the United States seriously intends to punish North Korea for continuing to develop nuclear warheads and the rockets to deliver them, then the punitive blow will likely come from Missouri.

That is, in the form of stealth bombers carrying America’s biggest non-nuclear bombs.

Not the 11-ton Massive Ordnance Air Blast (MOAB) fuel-air bomb that U.S. forces dropped on suspected ISIS positions in eastern Afghanistan on April 13. Rather, an even bigger munition.

Since the 1990s, the U.S. government has been preparing to attack North Korea’s most heavily protected military facilities, specifically in order to slow or halt Pyongyang’s nuclear program.

The American plan involves long-range, radar-evading stealth bombers hauling gigantic, earth-penetrating bombs. The scheme began in the mid-1990s, as President Bill Clinton and hawkish Republican lawmakers sparred over a nascent nuclear pact with the reclusive North Korean regime.

1. Why can't we just drop HIM?

The country would be too engaged in cleaning up all the splatter of bile and fat to consider developing a workable nuclear bomb and reliable ICBM delivery system.

2. That would probably

piss them off even more!

3. This is not a "mega bomb" and it's not "bigger" than MOAB.

It weighs more because it is a penetrating device. The amount of explosive used is substantially less than the MOAB.

There were bombs used during WWII that were nearly as heavy as the Massive Ordinance Penetrator.
