In the WIki, they claim that multiple, smaller ordinances delivered by smaller fighters are more effective than MOAB. I am guessing that this is how the conversation at the White House went:

Trump: "What's the biggest bomb we have?"
Generals: "Well, Mr. President, we have something called MOAB but it isn't...
Trump: "If it is the biggest, it must be the best and most effective. Drop it on Austria."
Generals: "Don't you mean Afghanistan?"
Trump: *checks map of all Trump properties* "Right, Afghanistan... that is what I meant."

I must admit that I was less than impressed with the video of the explosion. Nuclear explosions have ruined my expectations, especially given the size and name of MOAB.

Also... take that Austria! ;)

Moments earlier...

Trump Advisors: Mr. President, GCHQ and other European intelligence agencies have disclosed pretty solid evidence to the FBI about you and the Russians
Trump: We need a distraction... and quick!

Air force has been sidelined for nearly two decades and relegated to mostly logistical work. You wanna know who decided to use an air burst bomb against caves it can't penetrate, look at the pentagon. All this saber rattling with nations that have some airpower has air force brass drooling at the thought of getting some time on the field.

The last time the air force had the ball, other than 2003, was 2002 when they were bombing these same caves.

Come on coach! Put me in. This F-35 is brand new!

I don't think he can hear you dude. Drop a MOAB, get his attention.

But remember, air force, when you get the ball, don't go retarded. Remember fat leonard.

Wait, the US has bombs? Huh. Who woulda thunk.

No, that's fake news. Technically, those bombs are from NORTH America, which usually means Canada! And I have fake surveillance evidence from Wikileaks that will deflect the attention of a 5 year old for about 42 seconds!

Lol I literally just heard about this a couple hours ago 11 tons of TNT that's absurd. Btw it was actually 21,600 lbs. What ever happened to Hydrogen bombs?
