(DISCLAIMER: I TRIED MY BEST TO SIMPLE RELAY FACTS AND LEAVE MY OPINION OUT OF IT)
Do a simple search of "Afghanistan" or "MOAB" and you are presented with news articles curated by google news, for you.
You are greeted with article headlines such as "US drops 'largest non-nuclear bomb' for first time in Afghanistan" and "U.S. Drops One of Its Largest Non-Nuclear Bombs on ISIS Target in Afghanistan"
The weapon used is known as the GBU-43, Known to Americans as the "mother of all bombs"
22'000 pounds of destruction, and none of it was nuclear.
The pentagon stated that the mission had been in the planning stages for months.
The military stated that they "took every caution to avoid civilian casualties with this strike"
According to multiple sites I have figured that Obama, in 2016, dropped approximately 20'000 bombs in 2016 alone. But none this size.
Please I encourage you to figure out for yourselves what happened. I simply wanted to inform people and get the facts out there.
