On CNN, there is a story that Russia just tested the "dad of all bombs". Apparently because we have the mother of all bombs, they wanted the dad of all bombs.

Anyhow, what got my attention was the following paragraph.

""The tests have shown that the new air-delivered ordnance is comparable to a nuclear weapon in its efficiency and capability," said Col.-Gen. Alexander Rukshin, a deputy chief of the Russian military's General Staff, said in televised remarks.

Unlike a nuclear weapon, the bomb doesn't hurt the environment, he added. "

A bomb made up of 44 tons of TNT and a 990 foot blast radius that doesn't hurt the environment?

Right.

Someone over in Russia has a bad case of misplaced priorities.
