Rahul Gandhi Backs Trump’s ‘Dead Economy’ Jibe on India — Statement Backfires Amid National Outrage

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has stirred controversy after endorsing Donald Trump’s recent comment calling India a “dead economy.” Gandhi said he was “glad Trump stated a fact,” drawing sharp criticism from across the political spectrum. What was intended as a dig at the Modi government quickly backfired, with critics accusing Gandhi of siding with a foreign leader to malign India on the global stage. #RahulGandhi #TrumpDeadEconomy #DeadEconomyComment #RahulBacksTrump #IndianEconomyDebate #RahulGandhiSpeech #TrumpIndiaRemark #RahulVsModi #RahulGandhiControversy #EconomyPoliticalRow #RahulTrumpRemark #IndianEconomyCrisis #CongressVsBJP #RahulGandhiNews #TrumpIndiaEconomy #DeadEconomyClaim #RahulGandhiPolitics ~PR.152~HT.408~ED.420~GR.122~

South China Sea Breaking: Taiwan Deploys HIMARS Unit To Target Deep Into China | Xi Vows Retaliation [Video]

South China Sea Breaking: Taiwan Deploys HIMARS Unit To Target Deep Into China | Xi Vows Retaliation

South China Sea Breaking: In a significant escalation of defensive capabilities, Taiwan has officially formed its first combat-ready HIMARS rocket unit. This move is designed to strengthen deterrence against increasing threats and military pressure from China. Taiwan's Defense Minister, Wellington Koo, lauded the new unit as a "significant boost" to the island's defensive power, underscoring the strategic importance of this deployment. The soldiers operating these advanced systems have completed specialized training in the United States, highlighting the close military cooperation between Washington and Taipei. The M142 High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS) is a game-changer for Taiwan's military. It can fire six 227mm rockets or a single Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS) missile, the latter boasting a range of up to 300 kilometers. This impressive range means that key military and strategic targets deep within mainland China's coastal provinces are now potentially within Taiwan's strike capability. Reports suggest that Taiwan may have already acquired these long-range ATACMS missiles, a detail that is sure to alarm military planners in Beijing. This deployment is part of a larger arms deal with the U.S., with 11 of a total 29 HIMARS systems already delivered. The move aligns with America's broader strategy to build a strong coalition in the Indo-Pacific to counter China's growing military and economic dominance. While the HIMARS system has proven its devastating effectiveness in the Ukraine conflict, analysts note that China's more advanced air defense systems could pose a greater challenge. The activation of this unit comes as Chinese military aircraft and vessels continue to cross the sensitive median line of the Taiwan Strait, prompting regular intrusion warnings from Taipei and keeping the region on high alert. #Taiwan #China #HIMARS #USChinaRelations #BreakingNews #WorldNews #Geopolitics #OneindiaNews #IndoPacific #ATACMS Also Read Pakistan at China’s Command: Proxy War on India, Debt Trap at Home—Sri Lanka 2.0 :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/pakistan-at-china-s-command-proxy-war-on-india-debt-trap-at-home-sri-lanka-2-0-7791359.html?ref=DMDesc Iran To Buy Chinese J-10C Fighter Jets :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/iran-to-buy-chinese-j-10c-fighter-jets-7788123.html?ref=DMDesc China Halts Exports Of Specialty Fertilisers To India Amid Rising Tensions, Raising Supply Concerns :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/china-halts-exports-of-specialty-fertilisers-to-india-amid-rising-tensions-raising-supply-concerns-7783941.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~

‘Dead Economies Down Together’ Trump UNLEASHES Fury On India-Russia Ties | Trump’s Dark Warning [Video]

‘Dead Economies Down Together’ Trump UNLEASHES Fury On India-Russia Ties | Trump’s Dark Warning

In a fiery new outburst, U.S. President Donald J. Trump has launched an explosive attack on both India and Russia, warning of the collapse of their “dead economies” and telling Russia’s Dmitry Medvedev to “watch his words” or risk entering “very dangerous territory.” Trump dismissed India’s trade ties with the U.S., accusing New Delhi of imposing the world’s highest tariffs and claiming America has “done very little business” with the country. Slamming Medvedev as a “failed former President,” Trump warned him not to provoke the U.S. with “delusional” statements about global politics. The sharp rhetoric signals rising tensions, especially as India maintains warm relations with Russia amid global realignments. Trump’s remarks, laced with economic and diplomatic threats, may significantly alter the dynamics between the U.S., India, and Russia — three nations at the crossroads of shifting geopolitical fault lines. #Trump #IndiaRussia #DonaldTrump #Medvedev #Geopolitics #IndiaUSRelations #RussiaUS #TrumpWarning #USPolitics #TradeWar #USIndiaTensions #TrumpSpeech #MedvedevRussia #DangerousTerritory #TrumpVsMedvedev #IndiaTariffs #WorldTrade #GlobalDiplomacy #TrumpAttack #RussiaNews Also Read They Can Take Their Dead Economies Down Together: Donald Trump Slams India, Russia :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/they-can-take-their-dead-economies-down-together-donald-trump-slams-india-russia-7816541.html?ref=DMDesc Chennai-Vladivostok Maritime Corridor: How This Will Boost India-Russia Trade :: https://www.oneindia.com/chennai/chennai-vladivostok-maritime-corridor-how-this-will-boost-india-russia-trade-3992631.html?ref=DMDesc Vladimir Putin's India Visit: Dates To Be Announced Soon, Confirms Kremlin :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/vladimir-putins-india-visit-dates-to-be-announced-soon-confirms-kremlin-3991691.html?ref=DMDesc
