Mother of All Bombs

[ALB]

So the US has dropped the biggest non-nuclear bomb ever on a group of murderous tribesmen in Afghanistan.  We used to criticise CND for just opposing nuclear weapons, sometimes mocking them as  the Campaign for Conventional Warfare. Logically, they should have no objection to America's action.

There is no logic in objecting to just some kinds of weapons. In fact there's no logic in objecting to war while not opposing capitalism, the cause of modern wars, over sources of raw materials, markets, trade routes and investment outlets and strategic points and areas to secure and protect them.

The Russians have the father of all bombs.http://www.businessinsider.com/heres-the-father-of-all-bombs-russias-answer-to-the-moab-2017-4That powerful bomb is also a sign of weakness,  they are trying to show to other countries that they are powerful. In the old days the USA wwould  just send an invasion and would bombard everything, and would kill everybody.There was not need to drop so a big bomb to destroy some tunnels and caves built by the USA for the Taliban. They have been fighting for almost 16 years and they have not defeated them yet,  despite all the modern war hardware that they have

I wonder what have happened to all the Trumpers, and anti-globalists and nationalists of this forum. It is ironic,  the Neo-Nazis and Neo-Fascists are  moving away from Trump like a stampede, and the so called Democrats are standing behind him after all the bombs that they have dropped in others countries. All the so called Journalists who were against him, now they are also supporting the hysteria of wars and killings. It does show to the working class that the only allied that they have is the world working class

The tragic loss of life apart, I do think it would improve the area somewhat
