    Nobody’s dropping a MOAB on Moscow, because it’s dropped out the back of a C-130.

    And even if they did it’s got less than 4% the yield of a B61, on it’s lowest setting, that fits inside an F-35. On it’s highest setting the B61 is 30,000 times more yield.

    Conventional explosives are toys compared to nukes.

      They are toys compared to nukes, but I guarantee if we wanted to use the toys because radiation = more political backlash, we could easily escort two wings of C-130 transports to both cities. When the US wants to bomb something, well there’s not a whole hell of a lot that anyone can do to stop it, unfortunately.

      Edit, now that I’m awake. WTF are you on about? This isn’t the movie Outbreak. The B-2 Spirit can carry the MOAB. We don’t have to use a C-130, we gots stealthy “logistics” planes. I’ll betcha that the immortal B-52 can carry the MOAB. It’s a MOAB not Tsar Bomba.
