President Trump: 'I Could Win Afghan War In A Week But 10 Million Would Die'




Washington Examiner: Trump claims he could win Afghanistan war in a week, but does not want to ‘kill 10 million’

President Trump claimed that if the U.S. wanted to quickly end the Afghanistan War, it could do so in just a week, but said that the option would result in the deaths of millions.

Speaking to reporters in the White House on Monday, Trump said that he would prefer to work with Pakistan to win the war instead of taking more drastic action.

“If we wanted to fight a war in Afghanistan and win it, I could win that war in a week. I just don’t want to kill 10 million people,” Trump said to reporters. “If I wanted to win that war, Afghanistan would be wiped off the face of the Earth, it would be gone, it would be over in, literally, in 10 days.”

Update: Trump: I could win Afghanistan war ‘in a week’ (Politico)

WNU Editor: Both the Afghan government and the Taliban have responded .... Afghanistan asks for explanation after Trump claims US could wipe it 'off the face of the Earth' (CNN). Taliban Called Donald Trump 'Irresponsible' for Saying He Could Wipe Afghanistan 'Off the Face of the Earth' (Newsweek). As to what is my take on his remarks. Yes .... the U.S. could easily wipe out Afghanistan through the use of nuclear weapons, but it is not going to happen.

'An Insult to All Afghans': Kabul Outraged After Trump Floats Plan to Kill Millions, Wipe Afghanistan Off Face of the Earth

The U.S. president said he has not acted on the plan because he doesn't "want to kill 10 million people"

You could nuke a few towns in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas where Taliban leader hide out followed by an aggressive offensive to the border and maybe across it.

After a few nukes go off, Pakistan won't dare do shit. They will bitch to the UN and if nothing happens they will quit using their sock puppets Taliban, Lashkar-e-Taiba, and Jamaat-ud-Dawa.

Technically, it is feasible.

We all know F_ckistan is behind the terror.

Why should the P cks give it up? Obama tripled their tribute to 3 billion to P_ckistan

Trump is the current president. has been for over two years. get over your Obama deflection...we give aid to many nations. Often to help prevent the bad guys from getting stronger. Does Trump give aid to Pakistan? you better believe it...Pakistan has nukes. We try to placate them in the ongoing problems with India...now grow up

Also Barack is in Italy to talk to his fellow conspirator in the Italian secret Service to get their story straight on Obama's Russian collusion.

The P ckistanis, and Iranians are still spending the tribute that Obama gave them and causing trouble.

The Byzantines placated people. The placated so much, they had no money to raise armies to defend themselves. The Byzantines are gone. Too much placating going on.


Now grow up, fool.

all the deflection in the world does not wipe away the fact that you embrace a moron, liar, sexual predator, as your leader. Now, Obama, not enough you shift to the Byzantines? stop being so silly

Reality bites: all our leaders have helped Pakistan because they have nukes and they allow us no access to them and we fear that they might either be used or fall into the hands of people who would do something bad with them. And so, yes, we placate them. Would you prefer we tell them off and tell them to do with their nukes what they want because it is not our business or should we go in and wipe out the entrie country by a surprise bombing? Do tell us

I gave a historical, concrete example of tribute and how being weak and obsequious did not save the ass of the tribute payers. And all you could do to refute it is to out gas.

Bill Clinton is the one with the cum stained dress. A Democrat (i.e. a slut) claimed she had a cum stained dress, but then she said never mind.

India has nukes and we don't pay them. South Africa had nukes and we embargoed them. I suggest a cheaper way top placate them. We mail you to Pakistan and then you do what comes natural to you. Obama will be gracious enough to teach all the moves he and his BFF used.

Before it is over a coward like you would sell you children into bondage.

Winning wars is not really in the Pentagon's war plan, perhaps not even in it's terms of reference. Perpetuating wars, as in job security is and the loss of American lives in the process is a regrettable, but, very necessary cost while the loss of innocent lives is merely collateral to the main event.

I can not talk to one who says such classless things about me and my children. I can but say: your parents failed in raising a decent person

Is Michelle Obama Plotting to Take the White House in 2020?

Clinton left office on January 20, 2001. Hillary was i the senate for 8 years. Then she ran for president in 2008 and 2016.

2016 is 15 or 16 years (depending if you count months and round up) after Bill left. Is a political family ever truly gone?
