    I doubt you could pick it up with your hands but good advice would be to never drop thousands of pounds of high explosive.

    Rule of thumb.

    Yeah, I clearly mistook the acronyms for the one we dropped in the caves in Afganastan.

    Too hot to handle, too cold to hold.

    Regardless it is going to kill alot of people. Putin wouldn’t be crazy enough to flatten Kiev hopefully. If he does what does that leave us to do?

    No that is true....been known here for a long time. Oh, wait, that it could be one of them? Neither of them have the stones to go anywhere near danger....so I highly doubt it.

    So, is this bomb really against the Geneva Convention? Putin is officially a war criminal?



    Does the UN have the balls to capture him or convict him before he's captured l, risking nuclear Holocaust?


    I'm spitballing here, and I apologize. I think one of his men takes him out within a few weeks. Hopefully it's on video and the world can see.

    If true and he really did just drop this bomb on a civilian area some of our back channels need to be urging the generals to turn those tanks around and take Putin out. The guy has lost it and is about to destroy the world. I don’t think Ukraine will give up their country in any meaningful way. He has to go and his generals cannot be as evil as he is.

    “I felt a responsibility to come here and show the people of Donbass and the world that not everyone in the United States supports the fascist government of the United States that supports the Nazi government of Ukraine.”

    Damn these people are easily fooled. The Nazi government with a Jewish president.

    Edit: I've read more of the article. It's a good read about the propaganda that led an Austin arborist to fight for Russia in Ukraine. I feel there are several people here who have fallen for the same disinfo.

    Oof. You’re right I misread it as 44kt and not 44t.

    No it's just a bomb that uses oxygen from the atmosphere instead of a chemical oxidizer to have a bigger boom with less weight. It's like a jet engine compared to a rocket engine. Rocket uses it's own oxidizer, thermobaric is a jet engine that sucks up oxygen. Aluminum metal really really wants to be Al2O3. So you mix some with TNT and it extends the detonation longer, the Al oxidizes to Al2O3 using oxygen from atmosphere.

    Not sure if Putin is a war criminal. Seem sort of irrelevant considering he is an actual criminal as he murders political opponents

    My guess is the difference would be a trial at Hague, and Genevea convention violations which could help should some nations need Casus Belli
