        A previous tweet incorrectly stated the yield of the Hiroshima bomb.

        Are you really trying to draw a perspective between 15,000 tons and 11 tons? You failed. Go back to school.

        They dropped a bomb called MOAB on the middle east? I'm I the only one not lost on the irony?

        Also, Hiroshima is a city. I think what you're looking for is "Little Boy"

        This infographic tells me that this new bomb is dimensionally larger, 1/1000th as powerful as Hiroshima; 5 times as tall as a 6' tall man

        seeing how big bombs are compared to the average man always helps me understand their scope 🙄

        Should a verified DRAFT DODGER have the ability or right to even start a war on our behalf?

        What you call a war is technically policing cities. That's not a war. Trump will create a war

        So all of the other bombs dropped on Afghanistan weren't a problem but this will start a war? The drones were okay but not this? SMDH.

        1. The bomb is called little boy, not Hiroshima. 2. Little boy has a blast yield of 15,000 tons of TNT, just a smidge higher than the MOAB🤔

        So the MOAB is equivalent to 0.0007 of the bomb dropped on Hiroshima.

        It's not "Mother of all Bombs", it's Massive Ordnance Air Blast. I'm sure the former plays better though.

        This is the least helpful comparison. Presumably your next movie review will focus primarily on a "quantity of words spoken" comparison

        Please. Number of Wigs is the preferred metric.
