That's why the US tomahawked Iraq into stone age before sending mass of troops on the ground. I'll never forget those images, it was mesmerizing and frightening at the same time.

Yup, formative memory for me too. Not sure if there's been anything close to it in Ukraine, and I'm worried he can escalate like this if he wants to.

Not all of them do. But even that is just a part of the natural process. What however is not natural is what we are witnessing right here. There will never be an answer for any of this except that humans are naturally evil.

Still pales in comparison to the heartlessness of the Animal world. I also never understood why people get obsessed with Animals being some peaceful creatures. If anything there is way more empathy and humanity among us humans

After seeing this, I'm more convinced its a Thermobaric Bomb. Trump dropped one on ISIS positions in Afghanistan in 2017. Note the similarities between what appear to be multiple explosions - the first, not particularly big; the 2nd far more massive and destructive.




The "two explosions" from Wiki: A fuel–air explosive (FAE) device consists of a container of fuel and two separate explosive charges. After the munition is dropped or fired, the first explosive charge bursts open the container at a predetermined height and disperses the fuel (and possibly ionizes it, depending on whether a fused quartz dispersal charge container was employed) in a cloud that mixes with atmospheric oxygen (the size of the cloud varies with the size of the munition). The cloud of fuel flows around objects and into structures. The second charge then detonates the cloud and creates a massive blast wave. The blast wave can destroy reinforced buildings, equipment and kill or injure people.

There's just no way of knowing. The 1st explosion could be a bomb/rocket exploding and the 2nd an ammunition warehouse.

Having missiles lined up all along your border put there by an organisation created literally against you is not a concern? Not today, but what about in some years? No one can guarantee future peace and security.

Having enough nuclear bombs to destroy the world is as close to a guarantee there is that you won’t ever be invaded.

Also looks similar to a fertalizer explosion, comparing to the lebannon one, but I see what you mean with the 'pre'-explosion.

Part of that reason might be because we are humans. :lol:

Unless there's some logical target to drop a massive thermowhatever bomb on, I'd assume a munitions explosion.

Not that it makes much difference either way as you hardly blow up a munitions base by accident
 
air raid sirens just began Kyiv, forgot I had livecam open, scared me :o
 
I promised myself I wouldn't spend another day sitting on my ass following the war online. And here I am, AGAIN.
