That’s the big beautiful bunker busting bomb also known as the MOAB mother of all bombs. The question at issue is whether the US should use it to destroy the Iranian nuclear program. Now I would prefer that we sold it to Israel but even if we did they don’t have a plane capable of delivering it.

Also the most important Iranian nuclear facility is a half mile underground. (Sean Hannity said tonight that it was 3 miles underground and that is nonsense.) The BBBBB can penetrate a half mile. Israel has BBBBB’s but they can’t penetrate that far so it appears that we would need to actually fly into Iran to destroy this facility.

Now you know that I have been saying that Israel could render the facility useless by destroying it under tons of rubble and/or destroying its air supply and I still think that is viable but I heard something today that made me change my mind.

First Iran would need air, power and water for any such facility to operate. A half mile down there would be no oxygen unless it was in some cave system connected to the outside and there’s little chance of that. There is not likely any water supply unless it’s on an underground river a half mile down. Not likely and they would need a huge power supply. Solar is obviously out and so is wind and nuclear also because of the lack of cooling water and also because they can barely if at all run the one nuclear power plant that they have above ground. If they have some compact nuclear power plant a half mile underground they would already have a nuclear weapon. We don’t have that technology.

So my belief has been that Israel should find and destroy the intakes and outtakes for the power and oxygen and water needed and let the people involved die. However today from discussions I heard I have changed my mind. If Israel did what I suggested, Iran would still have a major nuclear facility left that could be resurrected in a few months. The place must be destroyed.

The only way for that to happen is for us to send our B-2’s with BBBBB’s in to destroy it. At this point in time the Iranian’s have no air defense to stop it. And while I don’t support getting involved in endless wars, I see this as a onetime action that involves no boots on the ground. Just a quick in and out while Iran is defenseless. I hope that’s what Trump decides because otherwise Iran will just continue to try to get a nuclear weapon to destroy Israel and ultimately us.
