When the Soviets MIGs flew overhead and broke the sound barriers, the bang brought down the mud houses. I saw the aftermath of these disasters. Almost entire village was in ruins. These poor people just stare at what is left. Their last possesion gone. families injured. That was 1978
Can you imagine the unreported sufferings this bomb has caused to surrounding villages?
MM got a reason to do back-flip....hehehehehehehehehhee

safe haven pairs may turn out disastrous someday.... nothing is permanent in fx.
36 Islamic State fighters were killed when the U.S. dropped the ‘mother of all bombs’ on a tunnel complex Thursday. No civilian causalities.
Here Comes World War3.
Nobody knows how many were killed because it was a tunnel complex.
No, the sky is not falling and no ww3... just cleaning up the mess that the rest of the world has ignored for years...
