U.S. Could Win War In Afghanistan, But No Need To Kill 10 Million People – Trump

Unic Press UK: The U.S. President Donald Trump says he could win the war in Afghanistan within a week, but that would mean killing 10 million people, which he would not do.

Trump made the claim at a bilateral meeting with Pakistan’s Prime Minister Imran Khan in the Oval Office as both leaders discussed several issues, including the situation in Afghanistan

“I think Pakistan is going to help us out to extricate ourselves. We’re like policemen. We’re not fighting the war. 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. Does that make sense to you? I don’t want to kill 10 million people. I have plans on Afghanistan that, 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. And I don’t want to do — I don’t want to go that route. So we’re working with Pakistan and others to extricate ourselves. Nor do we want to be policemen, because basically we’re policemen right now. And we’re not supposed to be policemen. We’ve been there — we’ve been there for 19 years, in Afghanistan. It’s ridiculous. And I think Pakistan helps us with that because we don’t want to stay as policemen. But if we wanted to, we could win that war. I have a plan that would win that war in a very short period of time. You understand that better than anybody,” the U.S. President said.
