nicknamed the mother of all bombs and it is where we ll start our conversation here. okay. the use of this, it is an interesting case. it is the unwalkable, unnavigable part of that afghanistan and pakistan and all of that. but this week the noninterventionist donald trump, the headlines are about the use of the military in ways that we didn t think he would be doing this. the overall messaging, is that going to be helpful to him or not? well, you know, in the long term i actually don t think this is helpful to him at all. but you remember eight years ago there was another president who came in who was going to get us out of wars and it was all going to, you know his greatest military accomplishment is getting them out. it is a military mission. exactly. and he found that, you know, the world has an inconvenient way of changing your plans. and i think that seems to be
