Supposedly, more than a dozen of these things have been stockpiled since 2003. Good to see it finally saw its’ purpose…..
It is possible this event could signify the beginning of the end….of this particular conflict? Did it only take 14 years to use something on the “shelf” to do that?
Or, is it just my wishful thing?

I agree, this event could signify the beginning of the end….of the world!

Maybe the MOAB actually was used for cultivation purposes? 🙂
As for the “End of the World”, something tugs at the back of my brain wondering if the TPTB would ever really let that happen….They’d lose quite an investment and isn’t money what it is really all about?
