Saying now is the time for peace after you’ve just bombed a country is an interesting tactic.

He made a desert and called it peace. It’s a coincidence that I saw the movie “28 Years Later “ this afternoon. I didn’t understand the plot in that either.

It’s apparently a commentary on Brexit.

👆🏼 this has been on my mind recently. First thing he always does is tear down anything done before him, calls it a bad deal for america and then says he will negotiate a much better deal, and then doesn't.

The Talking Heads on Fareed's show this morning confirmed there are no temporary basing facilities for the B-2s outside of the US.

I was wondering if any of our ex military members on the forum have any idea of the cost of the mission

Quite an old Twitter account…

Feels like I have already seen this movie.

I wonder how much a couple of month delay ended up costing?

Trump will declare "FAKE NEWS" but “The Americans’ most sophisticated bunker buster bomb can’t even crack open a wooden door” is not something the Pentagon is going to hold up as a W.

Too early to declare?…..

are we supposed to believe the cosmetically drenched braggart or wait for the evidence? asking for a friend

lousubcap · June 25

The evidence is rolling out...not exactly meshing with the braggart's assessment...the sycophants don't care.

@JohnInCarolina , @Botch you guys may have a little back ground in the big beautiful bunker buster or things close to it, what do you say? Is the bunker gonna be useable or are we gonna have to Trump's BS? %'s will be fine if you don't think you wanna mess with it.

As with most things war-related, it’s always best to be skeptical of early reporting. The information we have is limited at best, and many of the public sources have their own agendas that aren’t exactly aligned with the truth.

That being said…

@DoubleEgger shared this article with me last night. Despite the click-baity title (no scientist actually described this concrete as unbreakable) it does provide some insight into how well some of the latest concrete is withstanding blast loads:

Guys, watch who you're calling @braggart eh 😂

DoubleEgger · June 25

Here is a timeline that shows how this unfolded. Good history primer.

I read a story about the new concrete, thus the question.

Yep, it's a good question.

Of course one can also ask about the utility of being able to bust a bunker when the key things it's protecting (lots of enriched uranium) have apparently been moved elsewhere in anticipation of the strike...

Here's an interesting read about the bombing mission:
