NATO chief calls Trump ‘daddy’ after F-bomb rant on Iran & Israel |Rutte defends expletive diplomacy

In a bizarre twist at the NATO summit, Secretary General Mark Rutte defended U.S. President Donald Trump’s foul-mouthed outburst over the Iran-Israel ceasefire collapse — calling it “daddy using strong language.” The expletive-laden rant came just hours after Trump announced a truce that quickly fell apart. During a press conference, Trump compared the two nations to schoolyard kids, prompting Rutte to chime in with the now-viral “daddy” remark. Trump doubled down with jokes and leaked private texts showing Rutte praising his leadership.

NUCLEAR STOCKPILE: Russia Surpasses U.S in Warheads | Israel & N. Korea with Undeclared SECRET Nukes

With World War 3 fears looming and nuclear tensions rising, just 9 nations possess nuclear weapons—led by Russia (5,449) and the U.S. (5,277). China, India, Pakistan, and others follow far behind. While 7 countries have officially declared their arsenals, Israel and North Korea remain ambiguous. Over 12,000 nuclear warheads exist today, a stark drop from Cold War highs, yet each bomb holds devastating potential. As deterrence theory dominates global policy, growing voices now demand complete nuclear disarmament to save humanity. #NuclearWeapons #WorldWar3 #NuclearTensions #Russia #USA #China #India #Israel #NorthKorea #Pakistan #France #UK #DeNuclearisation #MutuallyAssuredDestruction #NuclearArmsRace #Hiroshima #Nagasaki #AtomicThreat #GlobalSecurity #NukeStats #NuclearPower #NuclearPolicy #ArmsControl #NuclearFacts #NuclearStates #Geopolitics #WW3Alert #ColdWarLegacy #NuclearWarheads #FASData #HumanSurvival #PeaceNotWar Also Read US Intelligence Assessed Iran Isn’t Building Nukes; Trump Disagreed With Finding :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-experts-asserted-that-iran-is-not-making-nukes-trump-rejected-their-observation-4184805.html?ref=DMDesc Donald Trump Supported Israel's Plan To Kill Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei: US Officials :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/donald-trump-supported-israels-plan-to-kill-iran-supreme-leader-ayatollah-ali-khamenei-us-offici-4182653.html?ref=DMDesc Israel's Defence Minister Says 'Tehran Will Burn' If... :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/israels-defence-minister-says-tehran-will-burn-if-4181667.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~ED.103~

‘Hegseth touted the cold war…’ China BLASTS U.S In Response To Pete Hegseth's Speech In Singapore

China has lashed out at U.S. Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth following his remarks at the Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore, where he warned that China could imminently use military force against Taiwan. Beijing condemned the speech as provocative and divisive, accusing Hegseth of inciting bloc confrontation and pushing a Cold War mentality. China's foreign ministry dismissed the U.S. accusations as defamatory and asserted that only Washington deserved the label of a hegemonic power. The fiery exchange underscores growing regional tensions over Taiwan and the Indo-Pacific power balance. #China #PeteHegseth #TaiwanCrisis #IndoPacific #USChinaTensions #ShangriLaDialogue #AsiaPacific #ColdWarRhetoric #TaiwanConflict #USDefence #ChinaUS #TaiwanStrait #Geopolitics #CCP #MilitaryThreat #BlocConfrontation #WarOfWords #DefenceSpeech #BeijingVsWashington #AsiaSecurity ~HT.318~ED.102~GR.124~
