      Lmao, I actually wouldn’t be surprised if that played a part in the decision. The birds will either be flying exercise missions or actual missions for their hours, and the bombs were going to be dropped by *something.* It’s actually an economical decision to send them on a real mission where they’ll get about 25-30 hours flight time if taking off from Guam.

Hell, the entire fleet of B-2s is more than the GDP of Yemen. And that isnt including the other parts of the logistics chain that were required.

    The current iteration of the GBU-57 bunker buster bomb is reported to have the capacity to penetrate 200+ feet of earth before penetrating an additional 25 feet of armored concrete. If two B-2’s are deployed, the second plane can drop its ordinance into the colossal crater created by the first bomb thus penetrating an additional 200+ feet underground.
    This means that GBU-57’s already have greater penetrative power than a nuclear blast, without the radiological complications. Not satisfied with the devastatingly destructive capabilities of these “conventional” munitions, the USAF is continually working to enhance them with each new iteration that emerges every couple of years.
    If the Iranian regime believes its subterranean facilities provide it any real prophylaxis from aerial bombardment then they are sadly mistaken. In the current era of strategic bombing there is literally no place to safely hide.

      The best defense is to not be spotted in the first place, really. That's always been true, but these days, it's doubly so. The bunkers that are the standard today make the old WW1 forts look like sandcastles, honestly. They're deeper, larger, and more reinforced than ever, but simultaneously it seems like they're more vulnerable too.

      a mop has the equivalent of 10 tons of tnt. The smallest nuke the americans have is a couple of kilotons. Also, nukes are air burst weapons. Therefore, the way the explosion works is different. If you air bust a mop it will not make a 200ft+ deep crater and the people will survive. You air bust a single digit kiloton nuke in the same place, everything for a couple of miles will be gone. Tell me again how the mop is more powerful than a nuke

    Speaking as a New Zealander, our leadership has been asleep at the wheel for decades - doubling down on farming and forestry as the main drivers of our economy instead of pivoting to IT and similar like Singapore has shown. The cozying up to China has been a result of real politik as that was giving us our biggest bag but it predictably led to them infiltrating all levels of politics from the regions to the national stage on all sides of the political isle barring some of the smaller parties.
    This about face of the current leadership - which comprise of a coalition govt formed by a muppet, a corpse and a human thumb - is just a continuation of spineless and talent-less career politicians desperately flailing around to appease their selfish voter base and corporate sponsors.
    Gone are the days of real leadership as the voting population of this country becomes more disillusioned, apathetic and easily herded into policies that do them more harm than good.
    Do not believe the hype, NZ is a deeply conservative country that props up our tourist industry via lies while it sells its citizens futures to the lowest bidder.
    All the while resting on the laurels of political greats of yesteryear that had, not only vision but the spine to see it through, for ALL New Zealanders.
