Trump Vs Medvedev: Medvedev Warns Trump Of War Over Ultimatum, Trump Calls Him 'Failed…' In Rebuke

A war of words has erupted between Donald Trump and Dmitry Medvedev after the former Russian president issued a veiled threat warning Trump against issuing ultimatums to Moscow. Medvedev, in a social media post, said each ultimatum brings the world closer to war—"not between Russia and Ukraine, but with your own country." Trump responded with fury, calling Medvedev a "failed former President" and warning him to "watch his words" or face consequences. The U.S. President also slammed India over trade tariffs, saying their economy and Russia’s were “dead” and would “sink together.” Trump had recently warned Russia of new sanctions if it didn’t agree to a ceasefire within 12 days. The Kremlin said it had “taken note” of Trump’s latest demands. With tensions mounting, the episode highlights rising geopolitical friction and personal animosity at the top levels of power. #Trump #Medvedev #RussiaUSA #IndiaRussia #TrumpWarning #MedvedevThreat #UkraineWar #Putin #DonaldTrump #Ultimatum #TruthSocial #RussiaSanctions #Geopolitics #USIndiaTies #TradeWar #WhiteHouse #BidenVsTrump #G20Fallout #CeasefireDeal #GlobalTensions ~HT.318~ED.346~

'Send Them to Gitmo': Trump Readies INFAMOUS Prison For 9,000 Detainees, Including Ukrainians [Video]

'Send Them to Gitmo': Trump Readies INFAMOUS Prison For 9,000 Detainees, Including Ukrainians

Trump reportedly plans to send undocumented migrants—including Ukrainian war refugees—to Guantanamo Bay, a military facility infamous for holding terror suspects. The Biden-era program that offered sanctuary to Ukrainians fleeing war may be rolled back, with deportation or detention now on the table. Medical screenings for 9,000 detainees are underway ahead of transfers to Cuba. The move is part of Trump's broader immigration crackdown—targeting 3,000 arrests a day—and could revoke protections for 240,000 Ukrainians. The use of Guantanamo has sparked outrage due to its controversial history and lack of foreign government notification. #Trump #Guantanamo #ImmigrationPolicy #UkrainianRefugees #MigrantCrisis #Deportation #BidenProgram #RefugeeRights #GuantanamoBay #HumanRights #ImmigrationNews #UndocumentedMigrants #USPolitics #ControversialPolicy #CubaDetention #BreakingNews #ICERaids #Trump2024 #UkraineWar #RefugeeCrisis #TrumpPlan #AsylumSeekers #GuantanamoReturn #DetentionCenter #MigrantRights #TortureHistory #GlobalReactions #TrumpVsImmigrants #ImmigrationCrackdown #RefugeesUnderThreat #USBorderPolic Also Read To Secure Rare Earth Minerals...: US Prez Donald Trump Announces 55% Tariff Hike On Chinese Goods :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/to-secure-rare-earth-minerals-us-prez-donald-trump-announces-55-tariff-hike-on-chinese-goods-4178549.html?ref=DMDesc Went Too Far: Elon Musk Expresses 'Regrets' Over Posts On US President Trump :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/went-too-far-elon-musk-expresses-regrets-over-posts-on-us-president-donald-trump-4178235.html?ref=DMDesc US Deploys 700 Marines To Los Angeles As Immigration Protests Intensify Against Trump's Diktat :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-deploys-700-marines-to-los-angeles-as-immigration-protests-intensify-against-trumps-diktat-4176947.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~ED.194~

Trump Claims Putin And Xi Now Respect America Again, Slams Biden’s ‘Incompetent’ Presidency

Russian President Vladimir Putin has called U.S. President Donald Trump a “courageous man,” saying he once again respects America under Trump’s leadership. During his visit to Belarus, Putin praised Trump for surviving last year’s assassination attempt and credited him with restoring direct U.S.-Russia communications. Trump emphasized that the wars in Ukraine and Gaza wouldn’t have happened under his presidency. Putin, speaking from Minsk, also said Trump is sincerely trying to broker peace in Ukraine. Since returning to office, Trump has reportedly spoken to Putin five times, reigniting direct channels cut off under Biden. The remarks underscore a dramatic shift in global tone and U.S. diplomacy under Trump’s second term. #TrumpSpeech #PutinTrump #TrumpVsBiden #TrumpNews #GlobalRespect #ResoluteDesk #PutinPraisesTrump #XiRespectsTrump #TrumpPresidency #WhiteHouse #USLeadership #BidenFailure #ChinaUSRelations #RussiaUSRelations #Geopolitics #Trump2025 #TrumpForeignPolicy #AmericaFirst #TrumpIsBack #BidenCriticism ~HT.318~ED.102~GR.122~

WW3 WARNING: Kim Warns U.S of 'Grave Consequences' If Pressured Over Nukes |Putin Backs North Korea

North Korea is openly warning the U.S. to recognize it as a nuclear power or abandon hopes of future diplomacy. Backed by Russia, Pyongyang says denuclearization is off the table and that Washington’s expectations are outdated. Kim Jong Un’s sister mocked U.S. efforts and insisted the “2025 reality” demands a new approach. Russia’s Foreign Minister Lavrov supported North Korea’s stance, citing self-defense. With alliances forming and rhetoric intensifying, the DPRK declares its nuclear status non-negotiable—placing future talks in deep uncertainty. #Russia #NorthKorea #Lavrov #NuclearWeapons #Geopolitics #USRussiaTensions #NorthKoreaNews #RussiaUkraineWar #KimJongUn #RussiaNorthKorea #MilitaryAlliance #NuclearThreat #EastAsiaCrisis #SecurityPact #USJapanSouthKorea #Pyongyang #ChoeSonHui #Wonsan #Putin #WorldNews #GlobalSecurity #StrategicAlliance #UkraineWar #NuclearTensions #DefenseNews #GeopoliticalRisk #InternationalRelations #BreakingNews #USAsiaPolicy #RussiaNuclearSupport #IndoPacific Also Read Hawaii Tsunami Warning: Next Waves Could Reach Up to 10 Feet, Say Officials :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/hawaii-tsunami-warning-next-waves-could-reach-up-to-10-feet-say-officials-011-7815551.html?ref=DMDesc India Tsunami Warning?

Who Are Russia’s New Allies? Russia STUNS West By Dumping Germany For Iran And North Korea [Video]

Who Are Russia’s New Allies? Russia STUNS West By Dumping Germany For Iran And North Korea

In a dramatic geopolitical shift, Russia has withdrawn from a long-standing military cooperation agreement with Germany, originally signed in 1996. Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin's move follows a cascade of sanctions from Western allies and Germany’s support for Ukraine. Russia's Foreign Ministry labeled Berlin's stance as "openly hostile" and accused Germany of pursuing aggressive militaristic policies. The collapse of this bilateral framework underscores Moscow's pivot toward nations like North Korea, Iran, and China. In recent weeks, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has met with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un—who pledged unconditional support for Russia’s war—and Iranian officials during the BRICS summit. Meanwhile, President Putin hinted at retaliatory arming of regions to strike Western targets. As the West distances itself from Moscow, Russia deepens its ties with fellow sanctioned states, signaling a bold new strategic alignment. #RussiaGermany #RussiaIran #RussiaNorthKorea #Putin #Lavrov #GermanyWithdrawal #MilitaryPact #BRICS2025 #UkraineWar #NATO #RussiaSanctions #RussiaChina #KimJongUn #IranNuclear #Geopolitics #GlobalTensions #AxisOfSanctions #RussiaIsolation #MoscowNews #RussiaBreaking ~HT.178~ED.102~GR.124~

WW3 Warning: Russia-North Korea- China Bloc Sends Major WARNING To U.S As Lavrov Lands In China

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has touched down in China following his highly symbolic visit to North Korea, where he met Kim Jong‑un and was honored in Wonsan. His arrival in Beijing signals Moscow's deepening engagement ahead of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation foreign ministers' meeting. This gathering sets the stage for the high‑stakes SCO summit in Tianjin from August 30 to September 1. Lavrov’s diplomatic blitz—linking Pyongyang and Beijing—underscores a reshaping of regional power dynamics, with Moscow pressing a message of unity among China, Russia, and North Korea. Watch for potentially critical alignments on security, economic initiatives, and strategic counterweights to Western influence. As Beijing hosts this heavyweight meeting, all eyes are on whether the trio will present a collective front that could recalibrate regional geopolitics. #Lavrov #SCO #China #NorthKorea #Russia #Pyongyang #Wonsan #Diplomacy #Beijing #Tianjin #EasternAxis #RussiaNorthKorea #Geopolitics #Moscow #ShanghaiCooperation #KimJongUn #ForeignPolicy #PowerPlay #AsiaStrategy #GlobalAlliances #StrategicPartnership ~HT.178~ED.346~GR.124~
