Vance: Trump will never allow the US to be involved in a long-term conflict without a clear end or goal.
US Vice President Vance said in an interview with Fox News that Trump would not let the conflict with Iran turn into a war like Iraq or Afghanistan.
"Think back to Afghanistan: the mission kept escalating for 20 years, there was no clear goal for 20 years, and the US tried to impose liberal democracy on Afghanistan during that time.
Iraq lasted a bit shorter, but we were there for almost ten years, without a clear mission and without clear definition.
The difference is: the president clearly defined the goal he wanted to achieve.
I said this before the conflict started, and I'll say it again now:
Trump will never allow the US to be involved in a long-term conflict without a clear end or goal.
The difference between President Trump and all previous Republican and Democratic presidents is:
He will not go to war if there's no clear goal.
His goal is: Iran must never have nuclear weapons, and it must make a long-term commitment to never try to resume its nuclear program again.
This is very clear and very simple.
I think this means we won't face problems like the Iraq War again."
