President Donald Trump posted a tweet comparing the duration and casualties of several US wars, including a new category: the 'Venezuela war' of one day with zero deaths. The tweet also listed Afghanistan (20 years, 2,000 dead), Iraq (9 years, 4,600 dead), Vietnam (19 years, 5 months, 58,220 dead), Korea (3 years, 1 month, 36,574 dead), and the military confrontation with Iran (4 months, 18 dead).
President Donald Trump posted a tweet Tuesday evening comparing the duration and casualties of several US wars, including a new entry for a 'Venezuela war' of one day with zero deaths. The full text of the tweet, relayed via Telegram, lists Afghanistan (20 years, 2,000 dead), Iraq (9 years, 4,600 dead), Vietnam (19 years, 5 months, 58,220 dead), Korea (3 years, 1 month, 36,574 dead), and the military confrontation with Iran (4 months, 18 dead). The Zioneer reported at 22:58 that Trump had posted a similar tweet, and the current message provides the exact wording.
The tweet is the latest in a series of public statements by Trump about the US-Iran confrontation. On July 14, The Zioneer reported that Trump compared the US bombing campaign in Iran to the Vietnam War in an exchange with a journalist. On July 13, he said US operations could last two to three weeks. The 'Venezuela war' entry is a notable addition, as the US has been involved in military operations in Venezuela without a declared war; the tweet appears to reference that involvement.
The tweet's numbers for the Iran confrontation—four months and 18 deaths—align with the official US death toll reported by the Pentagon. The tweet has been shared on social media and is being analyzed as part of Trump's ongoing commentary on the conflict.
