“Handed Putin Reason to Bomb”:Trump slams Ukraine after Russia's Deadly Attack Over Nuclear Airbases

A deadly new chapter in the Ukraine-Russia war is unfolding. After Ukraine launched strikes on Russian nuclear bases, President Vladimir Putin vowed swift retaliation. The Kremlin has already responded with missile and drone attacks on Ukrainian targets, killing civilians and escalating the war dramatically. In a stunning statement, U.S. President Donald Trump blamed Ukraine for provoking Moscow, saying Zelensky "gave Putin a reason to strike." Trump also questioned the reliability of American intelligence, suggesting he's being fed a filtered version of the truth. As Operation Spiderweb intensifies and diplomatic channels break down, fears of a full-scale East-West confrontation are growing.

In a stunning Oval Office remark, U.S. President Donald Trump compared the Russia-Ukraine war to “two kids fighting,” saying it might be better to let them brawl before stepping in.

U.S. President Donald Trump reignited his hardline immigration rhetoric, stating that a travel ban “can’t come soon enough.” Speaking about the migrant influx, he said the U.S. is “moving them out very strongly.” Trump also offered unsolicited advice to German Chancellor Merz on handling Europe’s “little problem” of migrants.

“The Best Time To Strike Ukraine…” Putin’s Reaction To Trump-Musk Fall-Out Shocks World | Russia-U.S

As the Trump–Musk feud dominates global headlines, Moscow is watching with popcorn in hand. Russian leaders, from ex-presidents to space chiefs, are trolling both men with job offers, sarcastic peace talks, and tech freedom promises. Elon Musk was invited to move his ventures to Russia, while Trump’s drama was dismissed as typical American chaos. Kremlin figures say the distraction benefits Russia, with one nationalist even calling it “the best time to strike Ukraine.” This bizarre turn of geopolitics is half mockery, half opportunity—for Russia, it’s a win either way. #ElonMusk #Trump #TrumpVsMusk #Russia #Kremlin #Starlink #Putin #Medvedev #Rogozin #Dmitriev #MargaritaSimonyan #TrumpFeud #USPolitics #RussiaReaction #MuskRussia #SpaceX #USRussiaTensions #TrumpMuskClash #UkraineWar #Geopolitics Also Read Trump vs Musk: Billionaire Battle Turns Ugly With Epstein Taunt, SpaceX Heat :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-vs-musk-billionaire-battle-turns-ugly-with-epstein-taunt-spacex-heat-4173783.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Proposes Allowing Ukraine and Russia to Fight Before Seeking Peace :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-ukraine-russia-fight-for-a-while-011-4173761.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Announces Travel Ban Affecting 12 Countries, Set To Go Into Effect Monday :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-announces-travel-ban-affecting-12-countries-set-to-go-into-effect-monday-4172715.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~ED.346~GR.125~
