    I heard on the way home that China put a bunch of troops along the border with N. Korea, so hopefully he's feeling the pinch.

    I would think he's sleeping in a very deep hole by now,if not he's dumber than he looks.That bigger bomb your friend was talking about is a bunker buster,will go through 200 ft. of dirt or a bunch of reinforced concrete before it goes BOOM the MOAB is an air burst it goes BOOM before it hits the ground and the shock wave does all the work :2c:

    I just cannot fathom that something that weighs 40,000 lbs. is meant to be transported by air....on TOP of whatever the plane weighs. :facepalm:
    We see a lot of C-130's, they fly in and out of Scott all the time. They cross the highway on their way to land...they're QUITE low at that point...:unsure:...makes me cringe every time. :lol:
    Those look a little easier :)
    I did a side by side, basically the same ingredients too. :)

    All bs aside, there's conversation on the different news shows that he's (literally) mentally imbalanced.
    Surely there will be a coop before anything really bad happens. The sane in his bunch will surely band together and take him out. He might be willing to die, but I have a hard time believing they all will.

    I think China will step in near the last hour and thump him.

    But truthfully, this is what I fall back to....

    Matthew 10:29-31 New International Version (NIV)

    29 Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground outside your Father’s care.[a] 30 And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. 31 So don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.

    The M1 Abrams is an American third-generation main battle tank. It is named after General Creighton Abrams, former Army chief of staff and commander of United States military forces in the Vietnam War from 1968 to 1972. Highly mobile, designed for modern armored ground warfare,[14] the M1 is well armed and heavily armored. Notable features include the use of a powerful multifuel turbine engine, the adoption of sophisticated composite armor, and separate ammunition storage in a blow-out compartment for crew safety. Weighing nearly 68 short tons (almost 62 metric tons), it is one of the heaviest main battle tanks in service.

    I know, it still just blows my mind. :laugh:
    My BIL does logistics, I think that's what they call it. He's retired AF, now civil service at the airbase in Mt. Home, Idaho. I asked what he does, he said it's up to him to make sure when there's a deployment that ALL their necessary $#i@ um, stuff....gets there....and loaded so the plane doesn't crash. :laugh:
    I understand there's software now for that. :lol:

    Remember that nasty, HUGE dessert spider that I posted a pic of, the one that was WAY bigger than a dinner plate, the guy I work with saw those in Iraq. *shudder*

    Lol's....:laugh:
    Rita was scared of the pool vac hose last night, she almost did the sideways walk like a cat will. :lol:

    Well, if not, God rest their souls.
    I think it's gone far enough this time that something will get done about it. If not us, China.
    I don't really like the thought of it, but he can't just be let go either.
    Tough times out there. :(

    I'm thinking they will sit back and let us do it for them,it would look bad if they offed their own stepchild :laugh:
    ...and that's possible too. No doubt.
    I just hope that Russia and Iran don't team up with them. :(
