Well done, Mr President!

Sending our B-2 bombers laden with 30,000-pound bunker busters to destroy Iran's Fordow nuclear plant was a brave and necessary act. Good for Trump! What with his cringe-worthy romancing of Vladimir Putin and his (and JD Vance's) scolding of the Ukrainian president, I was beginning to fear that we'd traded Biden's dithering support of the embattled country for outright hostility to it. But apparently Benjamin Netanyahu has put some spine into Trump's back.

Let's hope that the bunker-busters are as powerful as advertised and that, even if they didn't actually penetrate the 300 feet of rock above the once-secret plant, they created an earthquake that shook the whole thing to rubble. Supposedly the US had twenty of the Massive Ordnance Penetrators -- MOPs! -- of which fourteen were used in the raid, a dozen on Fordow and two on the Natanz plant that Israel has alread pummeled. So there are still some MOPs available for a second strike on Fordow if one is needed.

Good. Let's hope the raid turns out well enough that Trump gets up the courage to shake a stick at his buddy in the Kremlin.
