Back in September 2007, the LONDON TELEGRAPH reported that Russia had tested the ‘father of all bombs’ .. this is how reporter Adam Blomfield described the new weapon at that time:
Developed in secret, the unchristened bomb, a vacuum device capable of emitting shockwaves as powerful as a nuclear weapon, was unveiled with great theatre on state television’s main evening broadcast.
Boasting that the weapon had “no match in the world,” ORT First Channel television showed a Tupolev Tu-160 strategic bomber dropping its payload over a testing ground, followed by a massive explosion.
Pictures of what appeared to be crumpled multi-storey apartment blocks were also broadcast.
And the picture of what it looked like:
Things have changed since 2007. Then it was Georgia on Vlad’s mind.. Now Pootie Poot’s focus has changed, of course, to Ukraine..
But last night there was an incident that sent shockwaves over the landscape of Ukraine and across social networks—although the mainstream media thoroughly refused to report anything of it and instead focused heavily on Beyonce’s dress from the Grammy awards.
Oh and ACDC performed..
Did you see Kanye? And Beck? ! Oh the controversy.
Nonetheless, this is what last night’s explosion in Ukraine looked like:
There is also a lot of debate in the comments and reblogs of a post I put up last night showing the video of the blast, which many rumored on Twitter and Facebook to be a nuke..
Could it be that the father has been unleashed? Is it possible we are seeing a chemical weapons blast like some say, or perhaps a larger more battle-ready capable new way of killing?
I don’t know..
Speculation. Speculation..
Speculation.
But it’s worth speculating about..
This Russia Ukraine deal still has a chance of dragging the world down with it in a geo-political quagmire..
