Trump Doubles Down On WW2 Victory Claim, Says US 'Won The War' And Only Helped Allies When Needed [Video]

Trump Doubles Down On WW2 Victory Claim, Says US 'Won The War' And Only Helped Allies When Needed

Donald Trump stirred fresh controversy by insisting the United States was solely responsible for winning World War II. In a speech, he stated, “WE were the ones that won the war,” minimizing Allied contributions. He later added that “we were helped, and in some cases, we had to help THEM,” further intensifying backlash. Historians and critics have slammed the remarks as revisionist and disrespectful. Trump, however, remains defiant, framing the statement as a bold assertion of American strength in global history, especially during his campaign push. #TrumpWW2Claim #TrumpSpeech #WW2Victory #USHistory #HistoricalRevisionism #TrumpControversy #AmericaFirst #Trump2024 #AlliedForces #TrumpGaffe #WorldWarTwo #PresidentialElection #USMilitary #TrumpStatements #PoliticalNews #WWIIHistory #HistoryDebate #USPolitics #TrumpCampaign #GlobalReactions Also Read Russia Marks 80th Anniversary of Nazi Germany's Defeat with Grand Victory Day Parade :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/victory-day-parade-russia-80th-anniversary-defeat-nazi-germany-011-4148945.html?ref=DMDesc Emmanuel Macron Commemorates Geneviève Callerot, WWII Resistance Activist and Author :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/france-macron-tributes-genevieve-callerot-011-4046361.html?ref=DMDesc Pearl Harbour Survivors Aged 104 and 102 Return to Hawaii to Honour Victims of 1941 Attack :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/pearl-harbour-survivors-honour-victims-ceremony-011-4009397.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.336~

‘NUKE GAZA’: U.S. Congressman’s SHOCKING Call for Hiroshima-Style Strike STUNS Global Muslim World [Video]

‘NUKE GAZA’: U.S. Congressman’s SHOCKING Call for Hiroshima-Style Strike STUNS Global Muslim World

Gaza, already devastated by the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas, now faces nuclear threats after Florida Congressman Randy Fine shockingly called for a Hiroshima-style strike during a Fox News appearance. Comparing Israel's war on Gaza to WWII, Fine declared, “We nuked the Japanese twice... that needs to be the same here.” Civil rights group CAIR condemned the statement as genocidal and demanded his removal from Congress, warning his rhetoric endangers Muslims and Palestinians globally and undermines U.S. diplomatic efforts for peace. #GazaCrisis #RandyFine #IsraelHamasWar #FoxNews #NuclearThreat #GenocidalRhetoric #WWIIComparison #HumanRights #CAIR #MiddleEastConflict #Palestine #Israel #StopTheViolence #WarCrimes #NuclearStrike #PoliticalOutrage #CongressWatch #AmericanPolitics #MuslimRights #GlobalCondemnation #CeasefireNow #NoMoreWar #GazaUnderAttack #MiddleEastNews #Hamas #FoxControversy #USPolitics #RhetoricWatch #PeaceNow #FloridaPolitics #CallForAction Also Read Missile from Yemen Disrupts Flights in Israel Ahead of Key Vote on Gaza War :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/missile-from-yemen-disrupts-flights-in-israel-ahead-of-key-vote-on-gaza-war-4143509.html?ref=DMDesc Immense Pressure From Families Of Hostages: Netanyahu Says Israel Has To Continue Fighting In Gaza :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/immense-pressure-from-families-of-hostages-netanyahu-says-israel-has-to-continue-fighting-in-gaza-4128785.html?ref=DMDesc Netanyahu Warns Hamas As Israel Strikes Gaza Amid Truce Collapse: 'Negotiations Only Under Fire' :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/netanyahu-warns-hamas-as-israel-strikes-gaza-amid-truce-collapse-negotiations-only-under-fire-4098633.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~GR.125~ED.420~

‘IDIOTS! They are showing their true colours’ – Putin slams Ukrainians attacking WWII Memorials [Video]

‘IDIOTS! They are showing their true colours’ – Putin slams Ukrainians attacking WWII Memorials

Russian President Vladimir Putin slammed Ukrainian nationalists as "idiots" for destroying Soviet-era World War II monuments, linking the acts to neo-Nazi ideology. Citing Ukraine's de-communization efforts—such as removing statues and renaming cities—Putin accused Kyiv of erasing the Red Army's legacy and glorifying Nazi collaborators. He reaffirmed “de-Nazification” as a central goal of Russia’s war. Meanwhile, Moscow claimed full control over the Kursk border region, praising volunteers for thwarting last year's Ukrainian attempt to seize the nuclear power plant. #Putin #UkraineWar #WWIIMonuments #DeCommunization #NeoNazism #KurskRegion #RussianLegacy #UkraineConflict #RedArmy #PushkinStatue #CulturalErasure #PutinSpeech #RussiaUkraineWar #DeNazification #SovietLegacy #HistoricalRevisionism #UNESCOConcerns #KurskPowerPlant #UkraineAttack #KremlinNarrative #WarOfNarratives #EasternEurope #RussiaUkraineTensions #KievPolicy #UkraineNews #RussiaClaimsVictory Also Read Donald Trump Says Russia-Ukraine Ceasefire Talks To Begin 'Immediately' Following Call With Putin :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/donald-trump-says-russia-ukraine-ceasefire-talks-to-begin-immediately-following-call-with-putin-4158165.html?ref=DMDesc Putin Declares 'Easter Truce' In Russia-Ukraine War Amid US Proposal, Ceasefire To Stay Till Sunday Midnight :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/putin-declares-easter-truce-in-russia-ukraine-war-amid-us-proposal-to-stay-untill-sunday-midnight-4128473.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Blames Putin & Zelenskyy as He Seeks to End Ukraine War :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-blames-putin-zelenskyy-as-he-seeks-to-end-ukraine-war-4109951.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.103~HT.408~
