Trump bragging about brokering ceasefire between India-Pakistan, may cause US billions: Former Pentagon official

IndiaTimes Friday, 16 May 2025
Michael Rubin criticizes Donald Trump's claim of brokering a ceasefire between India and Pakistan, arguing it jeopardizes strategic trust and billions in potential defense deals. Trump's boast of leveraging trade to halt hostilities risks undermining the deepening alignment between the US and India, potentially pushing New Delhi away from American arms deals.

‘No Client List, No Murder’ Trump’s BIGGEST Scam Ever? FBI And DoJ Officially Shut Epstein Case [Video]

‘No Client List, No Murder’ Trump’s BIGGEST Scam Ever? FBI And DoJ Officially Shut Epstein Case

The FBI and Department of Justice have formally closed the Epstein investigation, confirming in a newly released memo that no "client list" exists, no high-profile figures will face charges, and Epstein died by suicide. The memo, released under leadership appointed by President Trump, comes alongside ten hours of security footage meant to debunk longstanding conspiracy theories. Officials say the footage shows "no one" entering Epstein’s jail cell before his death. The announcement is already drawing outrage from critics and Trump’s base, many of whom were expecting explosive revelations. Attorney General Pam Bondi, under fire for delays in file releases, previously promised transparency but has now walked back expectations. Billionaire Elon Musk stirred controversy by suggesting Trump’s name was being hidden in the files—a claim Trump has dismissed. With no new disclosures planned, the case’s abrupt closure may spark even more speculation than it silences. #EpsteinCaseClosed #FBI #DOJ #EpsteinSuicide #NoClientList #JeffreyEpstein #DOJMemo #PamBondi #TrumpEpstein #ElonMusk #ConspiracyTheories #EpsteinFiles #FederalInvestigation #WhiteHouse #KashPatel #JusticeDepartment #NoMoreReleases #EpsteinVideo #PrisonDeath #EpsteinTruth ~HT.410~ED.194~GR.124~

‘WANTED NETANYAHU!’: Massive Protests Rock Israeli PM's White House Meet With Trump

Massive pro-Palestine protests erupted outside the White House as Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu is visiting Washington to meet Donald Trump. Protesters waved Palestinian flags, chanted “Free, free Palestine,” and held signs reading “Stop Arming Israel” and “Wanted: Netanyahu.” With Gaza's death toll soaring past 57,000, demonstrators condemned U.S. support for Israel’s military campaign. As Netanyahu faces ICC war crime warrants and a genocide case at the ICJ, global outrage mounts—while Trump pushes a six-day Gaza truce plan. #FreePalestine #WhiteHouseProtests #GazaUnderAttack #StopArmingIsrael #NetanyahuInDC #PalestineProtest #CeasefireNow #ICC #ICJ #GazaGenocide #NetanyahuWarrant #ProtestNews #MiddleEastCrisis #HumanRights #GazaTruce #TrumpNetanyahu #WarCrimes #IsraelHamasWar #ProPalestineVoices #GazaDeathToll #GlobalProtests #PalestinianLivesMatter #EndTheOccupation #USIsraelRelations #BidenSilent #NoMoreWar #GazaPeace #JusticeForPalestine #ResistanceRising #DCProtests ~HT.410~GR.124~

U.S’ Flip-Flop Game: U.S Military Aid To Ukraine Under Review As Pentagon Halts Key Shipments [Video]

U.S’ Flip-Flop Game: U.S Military Aid To Ukraine Under Review As Pentagon Halts Key Shipments

The Pentagon has confirmed it is conducting a “capability review” to reassess whether military aid to Ukraine aligns with America’s shifting defense priorities. Chief spokesperson Sean Parnell said the U.S. is taking a hard look at promised weapons deliveries — some of which are now halted — to ensure national interests come first. The move follows the White House’s decision to stop key shipments of air defense ammunition, artillery shells, and missiles previously pledged under the Biden administration. With President Trump’s “America First” policy reshaping foreign aid strategy, the Pentagon appears to be pivoting away from prolonged foreign entanglements. Ukrainian officials have slammed the halt as betrayal, warning it weakens their resistance against Russia’s advances. Meanwhile, analysts say this could signal a major realignment in U.S. global commitments — and a boost for Russian military strategy.

Hegseth Explodes Media Coverage on Iran Strikes: Accuses of Rooting Against Trump, Ignoring Heroism

In a fiery Pentagon briefing, U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth lashed out at the media, accusing them of "cheering against Trump" and downplaying the success of Operation Midnight Hammer — a bold series of U.S. airstrikes targeting Iran's nuclear sites. Hegseth defended the mission’s results, slammed leaks of low-confidence intelligence reports, and praised the courage of American pilots and defense crews. With tensions high and politics in play, the Secretary warned that biased reporting could overshadow what he called a “historic” blow to Iran’s nuclear ambitions. #Hegseth #IranStrikes #TrumpNews #PentagonBriefing #USAirstrikes #OperationMidnightHammer #MediaBias #PeteHegseth #BreakingNews #Geopolitics #USvsIran #TrumpAdministration #MilitaryNews #DefenseDepartment Also Read Sajindas Devidas Reveals How AI-Driven Nudges Are Quietly Redefining User Behavior :: https://www.oneindia.com/in-the-news/sajindas-devidas-reveals-how-ai-driven-nudges-are-quietly-redefining-user-behavior-4166947.html?ref=DMDesc Power Of Reusability: Creating Configurable Payroll Rules That Scale Across Modules" By Rajagopal Arputham :: https://www.oneindia.com/in-the-news/the-power-of-reusability-creating-configurable-payroll-rules-that-scale-across-modules-by-rajagopal-4164205.html?ref=DMDesc article testing new :: https://www.oneindia.com/temp/article-testing-new-4058241.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~ED.102~PR.152~GR.122~

'Every Weapon Had a Target. None Missed': Pentagon Details Chilling Precision of Iran Strike

The Pentagon revealed that every weapon deployed in the recent U.S. strike on Iran had a pre-assigned target — and none missed. Officials emphasized the unprecedented precision of the operation, which focused on Iran’s nuclear infrastructure and command hubs. The statement underscores the effectiveness of American airpower, particularly the deployment of GBU-57 bunker busters, and suggests a major degradation of Iran’s strategic capabilities. #USAttacksIran #FordowStrike #IranNuclearSite #TrumpIranStrike #IsraelAttacksIran #IranIsraelWar #USIranConflict #FordowFacilityHit #PentagonStrikeDetails #IranUnderAttack #IranNuclearCollapse #BunkerBusterStrike #IranFordowAttack #MiddleEastTensions #USPrecisionStrike ~HT.410~PR.152~ED.420~GR.124~

Hegseth Says Houthi Red Sea Defeat As 'Tailored Operation' | Critics Slam Hegseth As ‘Attempt To...’

US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has described America’s widely perceived failure against Yemen’s Houthis as a “tailored operation,” claiming the goal was freedom of navigation and not the protection of Israeli-linked vessels. Notably, Hegseth made no mention of Israel during his statement. Critics argue the Pentagon has rebranded a humiliating military result, after months of failed deterrence against Houthi strikes in the Red Sea. The Pentagon's shifting rhetoric has sparked fresh debate over U.S. credibility, especially in light of its deep alliance with Israel. #Hegseth #HouthiAttacks #RedSeaConflict #PentagonNews #USNavy #MiddleEastCrisis #IsraelAlly #TailoredOperation #MilitaryFailure #HegsethStatement #FreedomOfNavigation #RedSeaWar #HouthisVsUS #USMilitary #IsraelNotMentioned #GazaWarImpact #USDefeat #Geopolitics #DefenseNews #YemenConflict ~HT.318~ED.102~GR.125~

DALAI LAMA SHOCKS CHINA: ‘I May Live Beyond 130!’ | Dalai Lama Drops BOMB on Succession Row [Video]

DALAI LAMA SHOCKS CHINA: ‘I May Live Beyond 130!’ | Dalai Lama Drops BOMB on Succession Row

s the 14th Dalai Lama celebrates his 90th birthday, the long-simmering issue of his succession has erupted, placing India and China in a diplomatic standoff. Speaking to followers during long-life prayers in McLeod Ganj, the Tibetan spiritual leader expressed his hope to live beyond 130 years to continue serving humanity. However, the focus has sharply shifted to the political and spiritual battle over who will be his successor. The Dalai Lama has unequivocally stated that his next incarnation will be born in a "free country," a clear rejection of any successor chosen or approved by the Chinese government. This declaration reignites a major point of contention for Beijing, which insists the process must adhere to "Chinese laws and historical practice." This has prompted a stern warning from China's Foreign Ministry, cautioning India to avoid "interference" in Tibet-related matters that could damage fragile bilateral ties between the two Asian giants. India, which granted asylum to the Dalai Lama in 1959 after he fled a failed uprising in Tibet, has maintained a consistent position. New Delhi has stressed that the matter of succession is a religious one and that only the Dalai Lama and his trust have the right to decide. This stance has not appeased Beijing. The situation leaves the Tibetan community in a precarious position, with widespread fears that China will attempt to install a "fake" Dalai Lama to legitimize and tighten its authoritarian control over Tibet. The Dalai Lama's firm stance, India's diplomatic tightrope walk, and China's assertive warnings have set the stage for a major geopolitical flashpoint. #DalaiLama #IndiaChinaRelations #Tibet #BreakingNews #OneindiaNews #Dharamshala #Geopolitics #China #LatestNews #WorldNews Also Read Dalai Lama’s 90th Birthday Message: Altruism, Wisdom, And Hope For The Future :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/dalai-lama-s-90th-birthday-message-altruism-wisdom-and-hope-for-the-future-7792751.html?ref=DMDesc India and the Dalai Lama: A Bond Rooted In Tradition, Tested by Geopolitics :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/india-and-the-dalai-lama-a-bond-rooted-in-tradition-tested-by-geopolitics-7790117.html?ref=DMDesc The Battle for a Soul: Dalai Lama’s Rebirth Sparks Fresh Tensions with China; Beijing Reacts By Saying... :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/the-battle-for-a-soul-dalai-lama-s-rebirth-sparks-fresh-tensions-with-china-beijing-reacts-by-sayi-7789273.html?ref=DMDesc
