The US military has dropped its most powerful bomb in
the Afghan province of Nangarhhar, which is located on the threshold of
Pakistan. But the defense experts of the US believe that President Trump may
have targeted the Afghanistan, but his eyes are actually on North Korea.
Why ISIS was not the real target?
Many
US thinks that if the purpose of the US was to break the back of ISIS then
these bombs could be dropped in Syria or Iraq. The reality is that the 'Mother
of All Bombings' was not designed against terrorist bases. That is why Bush and
the Obama administration never thought of using it against terrorist bases. The
US military strategy on at least the paper is to defeat the terrorists by
winning the heart of the local population and not just to wipe them out. So
dropping against such a powerful bomb terrorists can not be part of this
strategy. Even the ISIS is not as big a threat as the Taliban in Afghanistan.
The Afghan people, the US Army and the Taliban themselves also take the form of
hostility from this organization.
Message to North Korea
The
reality is that 'Mother of All Bombes' was built during the Iraq war. It has
been designed to destroy the underground nuclear bases. Apart from Iran, North
Korea has also made many such installations. It is no secret that after
assuming the power of Trump, the US administration has tightened its stand
against North Korea. After meeting China's President in the past, Donald Trump
had said two things that if Beijing can not control Pyongyang, then the US will
deal with it in its own way.
The worry of Washington has raised that North Korea
has done three out of a total of five nuclear tests during the last five years.
Two of these have been done only last year. The Deputy Foreign Minister of
North Korea has made it clear that if needed, his country will not again be
able to test the nuclear bomb. With this, America's associate countries such as
South Korea and Japan are feeling insecure. There is no coincidence that
America has used Mother of All Bombes on April 13. While on 15th April, the
dictator of North Korea Kim Jong is the birthday of her.
