Maybe a bit of both. His goal may have been to try and control Trump if he could, but he knew it might be difficult long-term and could settle on destabilising the US at the very least.

Up until he was elected, I thought this Russian thing was a joke. I didn't even believe the Steele dossier. You have to admire the audacity.
There was always some dodgy stuff going on. He did openly ask the Russians to hack the DNC at one point, and he's admitted to having a relationship with Putin in the past before denying it during the election.
Listening to the Mike Gallagher show just to get the other perspective on things. 1) conservative radio is having a hard time coming to terms with Trump's actions in Syria
2) he's defending United Airlines
3) "its the end times" is an explanation for what happened on their airplane
There are over 500 positions to be filled I believe. They have nominated 24 people so far and 22 of them have been approved...but why state the truth when you can just blame everyone else for your own incompetence.
The rest is just more of the same. Unpresidential, untruthful, incoherent, narcissistic etc.
Thanks for that. Not a surprise to see the judge mislead people (yet again).

Just dropped a MOAB bomb for the first time in history on a complex of ISIS tunnels in Afghanistan.
We are in that phase of verbal diarrhea where if he relaxes the sphincter you're not sure if he'll shit his pants or just stink up the room temporarily.
Just seen some pictures of the MOAB bomb 
Its huge.
Its huge.
Jesus, it's escalating isn't it. The GOP live and breath for war and had the cheek to say "Kilary is Hawkish".
Yeah that's some legit ordinance right thereJust seen some pictures of the MOAB bomb
Its huge.
any links?Just seen some pictures of the MOAB bomb
Its huge.
Look up above your post
Looks like the bomb equivalent of a human pyramid.
Brian Williams just died in a sea of his own cum.
Thank goodness America didn't elect that warmonger.
Just one step away from tactical nukes.
One mile blast radius.
Admittedly, I didn't watch that many WH press briefings when Obama was in charge. Had his press secretary similarly poor reading skills as Spicey has? I think I haven't witnessed one in which he didn't get tongue-tied at one point.
At this rate he's gonna bomb North Korea soon enough.
The media is a disgrace. It's been an hour since news broke about the bomb being dropped and we still don't know what cake Trump was eating at the time.
thought the poster had links to the blast in afghan. I know what a MOAB looks like
Why the sudden re-interest in Afghanistan? Why drop this MOAB now, when neither Bush nor Obama felt the need to do so?
Show of big daddy strength. Trump is obsessed at showing he's a better and stronger leader than Obama
I don't get it either. Unless they find a massive tunnel/cave complex being run by ISIS/Khorasan that could've be reached from the ground, it wouldn't make much sense when you consider the possibility of civilians in the area.
While powerful, the delivery system used, a C130 it really has limits as to when it can be used. You need total air superiority and a non-existent enemy anti-aircraft capability. The power of it, limits really where you can use it also, unless you are giving feck all about any nearby civilians.
I'm struggling to see the difference here between this and a nuclear bomb. A rose by any other name and all that.
Well Trump did ask multiple times 'why can't we pre emptively use nukes tactically' during briefings
Surely not within the blast range, that'd be pretty horrific
Lack of fissionable materials and that it creates a non-nuclear blast. So in other words not a nuclear bomb at all. Still if you are in the area, not going to matter you are just as dead.
Not really sure what the smallest yield there is for any active US nuclear weapon.
Ordinance.
It's a fecking WMD. Where's the investigators looking at USA?
Its obviously not. Nuclear, Chemical, Biological, or Radiological.
I think that is an 'if' rather than a 'when'.
Reminds me of this Tom Clancy like book I read back in the 1980's where the US used a Fuel Air Explosive against the fictional enemy and much was made in the fictional press about it by linking the weapon to the word nuclear, even though it was not a nuclear explosion.
It's a nasty weapon for sure, and should not be used anywhere near any civilian settlements (towns, cities, villages) but it is not by definition a WMD.
