Since Donald Trump nabbed the presidency thanks to a whole lot of help from the Russians, he’s done little more than screw everything up. From just about the moment his golf bag hit the floor of the White House, Trump has seriously increased tension between the US and the Middle East.
Truthfully, he’s been inching us towards an all-out conflict. Just in the last several months, the man has made a mockery out of the Iran Nuclear Deal, claimed he intends to “make Iran great again” (which Iranians had lots of thoughts about), made a big ole stink about Iran downing an unmanned drone which resulted in their Supreme Leader calling him and his administration “mentally retarded,” and made yet another scene over the US supposedly downing a threatening Iranian drone only for Iran’s government to turn around and release proof positive that Donald’s full of shit.
To say the least, his relationship with the countries on that side of the earth has been a clusterfuck, at best. And, as expected, he just keeps making it worse.
According to a White House pool report, while meeting with Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan, Trump expressed that he knew just exactly how to end the war in Afghanistan in little more than a week’s time. But to do so, he’d have to wipe the whole country “off the face of the earth.”
“I could win that war in a week,” Trump reportedly stated in the meeting. “I don’t want to kill 10 million people. Afghanistan could be wiped off the face of the Earth. I don’t want to go that route.”
Just in, Trump’s comments on Afgahanistan, via pooler @DavidNakamura: “I could win that war in a week. I don’t want to kill 10 million people. Afghanistan could be wiped off the face of the earth. I don’t want to go that route.”
