My understanding is that the context was in regards to a different event?

Pissed off Patriot
Notice how those cars got sucked back towards the explosion? Wonder if anyone near ground zero got their lungs sucked out?

Dead woman, couple of videos on top:
Not all BIG KABOOMS are enemy action. Cooking ammonium nitrate in the hot sun for a few years ... prolly a bad idea.
My biggest anfo boom was 3 charges of 15-20 pounds each popping out a stump. You could feel it through the soles of your feet but it barely went THUMP when it went off and nothing flew. Charges were set at least 4' deep and tamped.
I know of some 1k pound ANFO training and evaluation charges from years ago, I wasn't on scene but people who were definitely were impressed.

And because we had participating assets working with allies in the region 24 hours prior the US Generals may have some specific ground intelligence on the area.
I was actually surprised Trump thew it out there that Beirut was a bombing attack.

It might have been, but somebody needs to clean up Netanyahu's Twiitter account because that can be easily misconstrued to mean what we thought it meant. That they bombed the crap out of Beiruit.

With a blast that big, you're gonna see all manner of injuries...
I saw video of people near Ground Zero that appear to have been carbonized like folks who get caught in volcanic ash clouds. Saw a video of someone in a car, who had been turned into goo; they were just a skeleton wearing clothes filled with hamburger and ketchup. And of course, lacerations galore.
Bad. Bad. BAD scene.

What happened to the people in Beirut is sad. People have responded to the explosion to find and treat the injured and find the dead. This will continue for days. How many lost souls will never be found or just pieces found?
The amount of damage, injury to individuals and death is sickening. This was an explosion of munitions or Anitrate or rocket fuel, but not nuclear for there has been no report of fallout or comms and electronic wiped out.
Think about what 40kt or even 20kt nuclear weapons would destroy. Imagine the vast damage that one nuke will do and then multiple it by numerous nukes exploding across a country or countries not taking into account fallout spread. Panic will rule. A 40kt nuke would essentially destroy NYC and the death toll will be tremendous as people die days, weeks and months later.
MADD is understood by most countries, but once the first mushroom cloud is created there will be no sane minds ruling. When the nuclear war starts, it will not be limited. There will be no recovery except in small remote locations where the people join together to survive if you can call that survival.
Has the first shot been fired in WW3?
If Israeli did this, how soon will Iran respond with the nukes that they do not have. The retaliation by Israeli will be horrific. The world lives at the edge every day.
God help us.

Serious question if you care to answer: What would one thousand nukes do to the USA? What would they use? Who all would jump on us? Thank you for your response.

I heard it in one of the '15 synced exposure' videos above. In the context of having your windows unexpectedly blown in on you, it likely means "God help me" more than "Screw you, infidels."

It's the emblem on the Lebanese flag. And I know you know how many times the cedars of Lebanon are mentioned in the Bible.
It is said the world will end when there are no more cedars of lebanon left.

There were several phrases in different videos that had to be "Holy Shit, Batman"...in arabic.

Maybe the US Generals are seeing a desperate attempt by a group and or some in the Lebanese government trying to reset and regain control of long term deteriorating Political and Economic collapse in their country.

Ammonium nitrate is not going to work well as an explosive after not being stored properly for 7 years. Hezbollah and co. use other, more appropriate chemicals. I also do not believe that Lebanon needs that much fertilizer for their farming. I vote for an Iranian storage site for missiles. The ammonium nitrate was a cover, it might have been there, but, so was something else.
For a while at work after this episode aired, all you heard in the halls (everyone seemed to be in language school) was DURKADURKA!

3000 tons really isn't a whole lot, when you figure 50-100lbs per acre.
