Trump’s FOOLISH Mistake | Beijing eyes UN Takeover after U.S pulls-out from UNESCO

Trump’s decision to withdraw the U.S. from UNESCO has sparked backlash, with China accusing Washington of abandoning its global responsibilities. Beijing has pledged continued support for UNESCO and multilateralism, subtly signaling its intent to expand influence within UN agencies. Critics warn this move may allow China to dominate international institutions as the U.S. retreats from global leadership. The Trump administration cited “woke” agendas and bias as reasons, reigniting fears of a broader U.S. disengagement from key international bodies. #ChinaUN #TrumpUNExit #Trump #XiJinping #UNESCO #USvsChina #TrumpWithdraws #GlobalLeadershipCrisis #UNTakeover #ChinaInfluence #Multilateralism #TrumpPolicy #TrumpNews #ChinaDiplomacy #USForeignPolicy #BeijingPowerPlay #TrumpVsUN #UNLeadershipVacuum #Geopolitics #USIsolation #WokeControversy #TrumpAdministration #ChinaRising #UNPowerShift #TrumpUNESCOExit #BreakingNews #GlobalPolitics Also Read Trump Reaches Silver Jubilee of India-Pak Ceasefire Claim, PM Totally Quiet: Cong :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-reaches-silver-jubilee-of-india-pak-ceasefire-claim-pm-totally-quiet-cong-7807665.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Accuses Obama Of 'Treason,' Without Providing Evidence :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-accuses-obama-of-treason-without-providing-evidence-7807491.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Announces Japan Trade Deal With 15% Tariff On Imports :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-announces-japan-trade-deal-with-15-tariff-on-imports-7807489.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~ED.346~GR.124~

Trump Ignites World War 3: U.S Deploys Nukes Near Russia For First Time | Putin & Moscow On Target? [Video]

Trump Ignites World War 3: U.S Deploys Nukes Near Russia For First Time | Putin & Moscow On Target?

For the first time since 2008, the U.S. has deployed nuclear weapons to the United Kingdom—triggering fears of global escalation. B61-12 thermonuclear bombs, designed for precision strikes via F-35A jets, were flown in by C-17s from New Mexico. This marks a major shift in NATO’s nuclear posture, placing U.S. nukes just 2,800 km from Moscow. As Trump grows frustrated with Putin over Ukraine, analysts warn the deployment dangerously heightens the risk of direct conflict—possibly World War III. #WWIII #Trump #Putin #RussiaVsUS #NuclearWeapons #B61Bombs #USUKTensions #RussiaNATO #Thermonuclear #F35 #RAF #TrumpPutin #USRussiaCrisis #GlobalSecurity #BreakingNews #USMilitary #NuclearEscalation #Trident #VanguardClass #NewColdWar #TrumpDoctrine #UkraineWar #NATOAlert #NuclearPosture #Deterrence #StealthBombers #C17 #NukesInUK #WorldWarThree #Geopolitics #USUKAlliance #RussiaUnderThreat Also Read Trump Condemns Brazilian Authorities for Alleged Witch Hunt Against Bolsonaro :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-criticises-brazilian-authorities-witch-hunt-bolsonaro-011-7794385.html?ref=DMDesc Israel To Send Ceasefire Team To Qatar A Day Before Trump-Netanyahu Meet :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/israel-to-send-ceasefire-team-to-qatar-a-day-before-trump-netanyahu-meet-7792721.html?ref=DMDesc ‘Great American Pilots Very Upset’: Trump Flips Again on Iran Strike Damage :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-debates-us-strikes-impact-on-iran-nuclear-programme-011-7783495.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.194~HT.408~GR.125~

BREAKING: Germany, U.S RUSH Patriot Systems To Ukraine As Tension With Russia Hits Breaking Point [Video]

BREAKING: Germany, U.S RUSH Patriot Systems To Ukraine As Tension With Russia Hits Breaking Point

In a dramatic escalation of Western military support to Ukraine, Germany and the United States are sending five Patriot air defense systems to Kyiv "as soon as possible." The announcement, revealed by Ukrainian media and confirmed by German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius, comes amid rising Russian aerial assaults and drone warfare in key battle zones. Pistorius stressed that coordination with international partners would be finalized “within the next few days,” underlining a fast-tracked response to urgent Ukrainian defense needs. This deployment marks one of the most significant reinforcement efforts from NATO-aligned countries since the war began. Patriot systems, capable of intercepting missiles and aircraft at high altitudes, will enhance Ukraine’s capability to defend strategic infrastructure and urban centers. The plan also signals deepening U.S.-German military coordination and Western resolve to counter Russian advances. Kyiv has repeatedly called for stronger air defense amid relentless Russian bombardments of civilian and energy targets. #Ukraine #Germany #USA #PatriotMissiles #AirDefense #RussiaUkraineWar #KyivDefense #NATO #MilitarySupport #Zelensky #Putin #BorisPistorius #USMilitaryAid #Berlin #DefenseSystems #UkrainianArmy #WarInUkraine #BreakingNews #MissileDefense #Geopolitics Also Read AI Chatbots Like ChatGPT Reshape Human Communication Patterns And Language Use :: https://www.oneindia.com/artificial-intelligence/ai-chatbots-impact-on-human-communication-011-7801899.html?ref=DMDesc US Will Send Patriot Missiles To Ukraine: Trump Takes U-Turn Over Arm Deliveries To Kyiv :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-will-send-patriot-missiles-to-ukraine-trump-takes-u-turn-over-arm-deliveries-to-kyiv-011-7800325.html?ref=DMDesc BSF Wins 73 Medals at World Police and Fire Games 2025, Including 38 Gold :: https://www.oneindia.com/press-release/bsf-wins-73-medals-at-world-police-and-fire-games-2025-including-38-gold-011-7796027.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.194~HT.408~

Russia UNLEASHES Drone Hell on Ukraine | Trump Rages As Zelensky Begs for Rescue | 1 Dead, 6 Injured

A horrifying Russian drone attack hit Ukraine’s Black Sea port city of Odesa early Saturday, igniting a towering apartment block, killing one resident and injuring six, including a child. The aerial assault, part of a broader overnight onslaught, saw over 300 drones and 30 missiles launched across 10 Ukrainian regions. Ukrainian President Zelensky described the assault as relentless and pleaded for urgent air defense support, as power outages and fires spread. The Odesa mayor confirmed over 20 drones targeted the city, setting homes ablaze and sending families fleeing. As the world watches, former U.S. President Donald Trump escalated his rhetoric against Russia, warning of harsher sanctions. With thousands already dead in the war, the latest strike highlights Ukraine’s desperation for international aid and a ramp-up in domestic defense production. Dramatic images show parents rescuing children wrapped in blankets—Ukraine burns while the world debates. #RussiaUkraineWar #OdesaAttack #DroneStrike #UkraineNews #Zelensky #TrumpOnRussia #UkraineCrisis #RussiaStrikesAgain #BlackSeaAttack #Putin #UkraineWar2025 #WarCrime #MissileAttack #UkrainianChildren #USRussiaTensions #AirDefenseUkraine #OdessaFire #UkraineUnderAttack #RussiaDroneAssault #EmergencyRescue Also Read India, China, Brazil Could Be Hit Hard For Trading With Russia: NATO Secretary Rutte :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/india-china-brazil-could-be-hit-hard-for-trading-with-russia-nato-secretary-rutte-7802537.html?ref=DMDesc Ukraine Confirms F-16 Loss, Pilot Killed While Intercepting Russian Missiles And Drones :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/ukraine-confirms-f-16-loss-pilot-killed-while-intercepting-russian-missiles-and-drones-7786265.html?ref=DMDesc Russia Unleashes Record Overnight Drone Attack On Ukraine Amid Peace Talks :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/russia-unleashes-record-overnight-drone-attack-on-ukraine-amid-peace-talks-4176255.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~GR.125~ED.103~
