Russia. What is up, Russia? Are you so determined to prove me right about my assertions that Russian leaders are supporting the Islamist moves against the United States and Europe in hopes that it awakens Russia to Superpower status again and then the Bear might roam freely and grab territories, oil and farmland like back in the ‘old days’? Something smells in Moscow and I think his name is Putin.

From the AP:

MOSCOW - The Russian military has successfully tested what it described as the world’s most powerful non-nuclear air-delivered bomb, Russia’s state television reported Tuesday.

Channel One television said the new ordnance, nicknamed the “dad of all bombs” is four times more powerful than the U.S. “mother of all bombs.”

“The tests have shown that the new air-delivered ordnance is comparable to a nuclear weapon in its efficiency and capability,” Alexander Rukhsin, a deputy chief of the Russian military’s General Staff, said in televised remarks.

The statement comes amid the Kremlin’s efforts to restore Russia’s global clout and rebuild the nation’s military might.

The U.S. Massive Ordnance Air Blast, nicknamed the Mother Of All Bombs, is a large-yield satellite-guided, air delivered bomb described as the most powerful non-nuclear weapon in history.
