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.
