Father of all bombs

Russia could use savage superweapons that vaporize bodies and crush internal organs if their assault of Ukraine becomes bogged down, Western officials warned tonight.
They fear Vladimir Putin could resort to high-power thermobaric weapons - dubbed the 'father of all bombs' - as brave Ukrainians resist his attempts to take control of Kyiv.
There are also concerns that units that are running behind schedule as they encounter stiff opposition could resort to indiscriminate shelling as a terror weapon.
Thermobaric weapons - also known as vacuum bombs - are high-powered explosive that use the atmosphere itself as part of the explosion. They are among the most powerful non-nuclear weapons ever developed.
Do it and WWIII has started.

There’s a fair share of hyperbole in there. Those weapons were deployed in Afghanistan and, I think in Iraq, by coalition forces. Besides that they do not fall under the category of WMD.

They're just bigger, and the FOAB is just a bigger, badder, MOAB.
But your comment begs the question, what is a WMD?

We should drop Daily Mail reporters into the Ukraine.
Not because I think it would help the war.
We should just do it for fun.

Here's the problem...If you want news with a conservative slant, where do you go?
There are U.S. stories in The Daily Mail, you simply will not see in much of the MSM.

There are better British newspapers. The Mail is a rag. The Times is moderately conservative, for example. It's owned by Murdoch.
