7/22/19: Reporters manage to question
the president briefly before a closed-door meeting with Imran Khan, the Prime
Minister of Pakistan. Trump assures them that if the Taliban won’t agree to a
peace deal, he has a plan to end the war in Afghanistan in a week. This is
surprising news, since the U.S. has been bogged down in Afghanistan since
shortly after the 9/11 attacks.

Trump is frustrated because the U.S. can’t declare victory and go home. That means he can’t take credit and brag. “If we wanted to fight a war in Afghanistan and win it, I would win that war in a week,” he tells the press. “I just don’t want to kill 10 million people. Does that make sense to you?”
Um…that should make sense to anyone.
Naturally,
his remarks raise “concerns in national security circles, as the estimated
death toll implied a threat of nuclear
force.”
This marks the third time the President Who Cried Wolf has threatened nuclear holocaust. He once said he would unleash “fire and fury” on North Korea. He said he would “end” Iran. Now he was talking about obliterating a third of the Afghan population, people we were there to help.
“I have plans on Afghanistan that, if I wanted to win that war, Afghanistan would be wiped off the face of the earth [emphasis added]” he said, on second thought giving himself a bit more flexibility. “It would be over literally in 10 days. I don’t want to go that route.”
No sane
individual would. Trump kind of wishes he could.
