Putin’s ‘Father Of All Bombs’ is FOUR TIMES more powerful than Trump’s 'Mother Of All Bombs'

Vladimir Putin has a weapon four times more powerful than the US' monster bomb that killed 36 ISIS militants in Afghanistan.

The Mother Of All Bombs (MOAB), which belongs to the US Air Force, weighs a staggering 21,600lbs.

But the Russian version - called the Father Of All Bombs - weighs just 15,560lbs and is packed with the equivalent to 44 tons of explosive TNT.

This is four times more than the US' model which obliterates anything in its blast zone, which is twice that of the MOAB.

Russia gets more "bang for the buck" than America?

and not propaganda then Putin, whose country is economically broke because the Syrian support he's provided has drained his country financially, he would have used it as a quick 'in and out' in Syria long ago. I'm not buying what he's selling.......

What has being "economically broke" got to do with having weapons?

And America is NOT concerned about North Korea (a country "economically broke") BECAUSE?
