It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, MAD-2R World
MOAB is just a big conventional bomb, it is in no way comparable to a nuke. It's the difference between tons of TNT and the equivalent of hundreds of thousands of tons.

If he actually solves NK by parking a carrier battle group off the coast and dropping a MOAB on their nuke test tunnel network... I'm gonna be real mad. If it turns out he just brazenly ignores the accepted norms of geo-policy out of a sheer lack of will to learn the norms... and then everyone laughs at him, but it all works... we'll have to live with him for 4 more years...

My lovely conservative work friend thinks that Trump "struck a deal" with China and they're gonna help us invade Korea. He's convinced all of this is just proof of how great a deal-maker Trump really is.

I reminded him that even if that were true, and China agreed to help us whack the CCP vassal state, we likely had to GIVE SOMETHING UP IN RETURN. What could that have been? We agree to help them gently caress Taiwan? We let them have North Korea, to the disgust and outrage of South Korea? We extradite the Dalai Lama?

To have gained something as huge as Chinas cooperation in removing their "regional madman buffer" we would have had to have buckled real real hard on something else. He disagrees and said things like, "Why would China side with the North Koreans over the US?"

Putting pressure on China is probably the right way, but China does NOT want to create a humanitarian crisis that it has to deal with primarily, so yeah, we would have to give something up massive in return.

How much did the MOAB cost? I was hearing like $200 million yesterday but now they I have read the bomb cost $18 million. I mean you need a lot of fuel to fly something that heavy, but still.

Also, why are we losing the OAB race? Russia has a FOAB that is 4x as powerful!

The MOAB project cost about $300 million for research and development of 20 bombs. Cost per bomb is about $16 million, so lunch money for congress for a day.

Well that won't happen at least, you can't drop this from a plane that could safely get there, even with North Korea's outdated AA stuff.

Oh agreed, but it's still the largest conventional bomb we have by quite a bit.

Also we should move this discussion to the chat thread.

McMagic is easily hated more in TFF than D&D, so the first call-out post there wasn't a super shock.

"Hated" seems a bit strong. These are sports opinions, nothing more.

Yeah, he posts like a caustic rear end in a top hat, so people act that way back at him, but I definitely don't hate the guy. I always found his style pretty funny.

Now important topics like D&D or traditional games, there you'll see people really go for the knives against everyone.

Jury reached a verdict in the Aaron Hernandez double murder case after 6 days of deliberations.

It's one day off from the two year anniversary of his previous murder conviction.



This gif is from a game months after he murdered Daniel de Abreu and Safiro Furtado by driving up to their vehicle and firing into it in retaliation for spilling a drink on him.

I know, it seems like a waste of everyone's time to me, but hey.

At least the guy he shot and lived just testified against him instead of pressing charges and giving us a 3rd trial.

I think the main witness for those shootings got given immunity and the jury asked about that specifically (what weight to give the testimony of someone who had gotten immunity), if I had to guess they decided they didn't believe the witness because of that.

Kalli

Not guilty of killing the two victims.

Not guilty of witness intimidation for shooting Alex Bradley in the eye. (his defense was that he didn't kill them, that Alex Bradley actually killed them over a drug deal).

Guilty of weapons charges. (lol)

That result is under appeal. Because of this result, if the Odin-murder guilty verdict gets overturned, he walks entirely.
