Trump’s Flip-Flop on Ukraine Helped Putin Dominate the Battlefield | U.S. Ukraine Blunder Explained [Video]

Trump’s Flip-Flop on Ukraine Helped Putin Dominate the Battlefield | U.S. Ukraine Blunder Explained

Trump’s erratic Ukraine policy has backfired, handing strategic advantage to Vladimir Putin. From praising Russia to undercutting Western efforts, Trump’s shifting stance confused allies and weakened U.S. credibility. Despite promises of peace “in 24 hours,” Putin escalated the war, rejecting Trump’s ceasefire ideas. Key allies, including UK PM Starmer, expressed alarm as U.S. military aid faltered. Trump’s praise, sanction reversals, and attempts to monetize aid left Ukraine vulnerable. With 300 drones and 69 missiles striking Kyiv, Trump's foreign policy gamble has only fueled Russia’s war machine. #Trump #UkraineWar #Putin #USForeignPolicy #Zelenskyy #RussiaUkraineConflict #TrumpFlipFlop #Geopolitics #MilitaryAid #TrumpVsPutin #UkraineNews #BidenVsTrump #WesternUnity #PeaceDeal #TrumpSpeech #TrumpPolicy #TrumpOnPutin #PutinStrikes #UkraineAttack #TrumpPraisePutin #GlobalDiplomacy #EUResponse #Ceasefire #TrumpUkraineFail #NATOWatch #RussiaAdvances #MineralDeal #TrumpVsAllies #Starmer #PutinPowerPlay Also Read Trump Issues Threat To Harvard One Again, Vows 'Victory' Against World-Renowned Varsity :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-issues-threat-to-harvard-one-again-vows-victory-against-world-renowned-varsity-4164673.html?ref=DMDesc AI-Generated Trump Video Used In Karnataka To Dupe Over 200 In Investment Scam :: https://www.oneindia.com/bengaluru/ai-generated-trump-video-used-in-karnataka-to-dupe-over-200-in-investment-scam-4164151.html?ref=DMDesc 'Something Happened To This Guy': Trump Slams Putin For Russia's Fresh Attack On Ukraine :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/something-happened-to-this-guy-trump-slams-putin-for-russias-fresh-attack-on-ukraine-4163675.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.194~HT.408~GR.125~

Pakistani PM Calls India’s Airstrikes ‘ACT OF WAR’| India's Operation Sindoor Rattles Pakistan

India has launched Operation Sindoor, targeting terror launchpads in Pakistan and PoK after the Pahalgam massacre. Nine key Jaish-e-Mohammed-linked sites were hit in a precise military strike. Pakistan's PM Shehbaz Sharif called the strikes an “act of war” and vowed a “befitting reply,” while the defense minister accused India of killing civilians. U.S. President Trump expressed concern, urging calm. With tensions rising, India maintains the strikes were a measured response to terror. Both nuclear-armed nations now face growing global scrutiny over escalating hostilities. #India #Pakistan #Airstrikes #OperationSindoor #TerrorCamps #ShehbazSharif #Modi #JaishEMohammed #POK #PahalgamMassacre #Trump #DonaldTrump #IndiaPakistanConflict #BreakingNews #MilitaryStrike #Retaliation #NationalSecurity #IndianAirForce #USIndiaRelations #PakistanArmy #Geopolitics #SouthAsiaCrisis #WarThreat #CrossBorderTerror #IndiaStrikesBack #IndoPakTensions #NarendraModi #DefenseNews #TrumpStatement #RapidResponse Also Read Panic In Pakistan's Muzaffarabad As India Launches Attack On Terrorist Infrastructure :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/panic-in-pakistans-muzaffarabad-as-india-launches-attack-on-terrorist-infrastructure-4145547.html?ref=DMDesc India Shoots Down Pakistan’s JF-17 Thunder Jet Amid Operation Sindoor Offensive :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/india-shoots-down-pakistan-s-jf-17-thunder-jet-amid-operation-sindoor-offensive-4145541.html?ref=DMDesc India’s ‘Cowardly’ Strikes Will Not Go Unanswered, Says Pakistan PM Shehbaz Sharif :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/india-s-cowardly-strikes-will-not-go-unanswered-says-pakistan-pm-shehbaz-sharif-4145523.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~

Thousands Rally In London For Nakba Anniversary Amid Gaza Strikes And Israel-Hamas Ceasefire Talks

Marking 77 years since the Nakba, tens of thousands joined a massive pro-Palestine protest in London, organised by the Palestine Solidarity Campaign. The march, from Embankment to Downing Street, condemned the ongoing "ethnic cleansing" of Palestinians. It coincided with Israel’s intensified bombing of Gaza, killing over 150 in 24 hours. As ceasefire talks resumed in Doha, Israel threatened continued military operations unless progress was made. The symbolic protest amplified global calls for justice and peace as Israeli forces escalated operations and Hamas agreed to rejoin negotiations under mounting pressure. #Palestine #Nakba77 #GazaUnderAttack #LondonProtest #FreePalestine #IsraelHamas #GazaCrisis #NakbaDay #CeasefireNow #PalestinianRights #StopTheBombing #EndTheSiege #ProPalestine #SolidarityMarch #DohaTalks #HumanRights #NakbaAnniversary #GazaBombing #HamasIsrael #UKProtest ~HT.318~ED.346~GR.125~
