"Win a war at all costs", WTF?

Trump stated in a speech in a foreign land (Japan), “we will win a war at any cost”.

What is he and his goons planning? That kind of stupid nonsense statement can be taken as a threat?

He wants to win at any cost.

Winning means stealing as much money and power as possible.

He is one sick dude.

Edited to add: Imagine making foreign policy decisions for the United States based on a personal campaign to win a peace prize. Idiotic to say the least.

And he just sent an aircraft carrier down south so they could find more boats to blow out of the water.
dumpie is super close to starting a war with Venezuela so he's got an excuse to declare Martial law.
That's what I see coming.

I guess by 'politically correct', he means we will not abide by the Geneva Convention?
Well, what's the difference? After all, they can only hang him once.
