I'm in not way willing to defend him doing it, as it was a retarded idea in all ways.

The only caveat is that its not the first time he has done this, and skated by with no consequences. The reason why MOAB entered public lexicon was one of those times, and he has quite a few more that all "succeeded" in flexing his might (and helping Israel) without any real negative consequence towards us. Which is why I'm not going to freak out that its WW3 for sure this time.

There is no real positive side to this, unless it finally starts the ball rolling on just turning that whole desert to glass and Arabs just ceasing to exist to be a problem entirely. But that's a miracle dream that no one is ready for.
