'Our relationship with India is much expanded': US defense secretary Lloyd Austin reflects on his 4-year tenure
Saturday, 9 November 2024 US defense secretary Lloyd Austin emphasized the strengthening of global security alliances, particularly highlighting the growth of the US-India partnership. He acknowledged the Pentagon's focus on various regions, including the Indo-Pacific, while reaffirming support for Ukraine and addressing humanitarian concerns in Gaza.
U.S President Donald Trump has issued a blistering 50-day warning to Russia: reach a deal, or face the full force of U.S. tariffs and sanctions. Speaking on the Ukraine-Russia war, Biden declared he’s “on nobody’s side” — except the side that wants the killing to stop. But if Moscow doesn’t act, the U.S. is ready to strike economically.
With time ticking and global tensions high, this could mark a major turning point in the war — or a slide into deeper confrontation. What happens if the Kremlin refuses? And is Biden ready to follow through?

A major political shake-up in Ukraine. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has named Yulia Svyrydenko as his choice for Prime Minister — a bold move that could define Ukraine’s post-war recovery or risk political backlash.
Svyrydenko, the current Vice Prime Minister and Minister of Economy, is known for brokering a high-stakes minerals deal with the U.S. and leading efforts to modernize Ukraine’s economy. Now, she’s being Thrust into the top job with a mandate to overhaul the entire government.
Can she deliver in one of Europe’s most volatile political climates? Is this the rise of a new power broker — or a gamble in the middle of war?

A fierce war of words has erupted between the United States and Russia after former US President Donald Trump threatened to impose "secondary tariffs" of up to 100% if Moscow does not end the war in Ukraine within 50 days. Trump, speaking at a White House press event, warned that he was "very unhappy" with the ongoing conflict and that severe economic consequences would follow.
Responding to the threat, Russia's Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov delivered a sharp and dismissive rebuke from China. Lavrov stated unequivocally, "We are not worried, it's not our job to worry," indicating that Russia is prepared to withstand any new sanctions. He further mocked Trump's timeline, pointing out the shifting deadlines from the US. "Now it's 50 days, it used to be 24 hours, also 100 days. We've been through that already," Lavrov commented, suggesting a lack of seriousness in the American threat.
The defiant stance was echoed by Russian Deputy Minister Ryabkov, who asserted that "any attempts to make demands or ultimatums are unacceptable" to the Kremlin. This bold response comes even as the United States finalizes plans to supply more advanced weaponry to Ukraine, with funding provided by the European Union. Russia's confidence appears unshaken, escalating geopolitical tensions and leaving the world to wonder what Trump's next move will be in this high-stakes standoff.

Ukraine’s Security Service (SBU) has intercepted a Russian agent caught red-handed planting a bomb in a civilian apartment in Rivne, Western Ukraine. The suspect, a 27-year-old man from Lviv, was allegedly recruited via Telegram by Russian intelligence with promises of “easy money.”
The device was intended to be detonated remotely in a densely populated city center, aiming to inflict maximum civilian casualties and spread fear. The suspect now faces terrorism-related charges, conspiracy, and illegal possession of explosives.
Authorities say this plot is part of a wider Russian campaign targeting civilians far from the frontlines, often exploiting vulnerable individuals with criminal or addiction histories. This is yet another stark reminder that Putin’s war is not limited to the battlefield.

In a dramatic shift, U.S. President Donald Trump reportedly urged Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to consider striking Moscow—just days after a failed phone call with Vladimir Putin. Sources told the Financial Times and Washington Post that Trump asked, "Can you hit Moscow?" and expressed frustration over Putin's unwillingness to negotiate peace. This follows renewed U.S. weapons support for Ukraine under a proposed NATO deal.
Was this a pressure tactic or a dangerous escalation plan? Here's what we know about the explosive July 4th phone call and what it could mean for the future of the war in Ukraine.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, attending the SCO summit in China, strongly criticized the United States and NATO for their growing involvement in the Indo-Pacific region. Lavrov argued that NATO allies seek to expand their influence into the Far East, undermining regional stability. In contrast, Russia, China, and like-minded nations advocate for an “open and free security architecture” for East Asia. His remarks highlight deepening Moscow-Beijing cooperation against Western strategic ambitions in the Asia-Pacific.

In a high-stakes meeting amid growing trade hostilities, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio met Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi in Kuala Lumpur during the East Asia Summit. This marked Rubio's first Asia visit since taking office, aiming to reaffirm U.S. presence in the Indo-Pacific. However, Trump's sudden tariff offensive—slapping 25-40% duties on major Asian economies—has intensified regional friction. China condemned the U.S. move as "bullying behavior," warning nations against cutting Beijing from global supply chains.
Rubio also discussed security and tech cooperation with Japanese, South Korean, and Southeast Asian leaders. While Rubio remained tight-lipped during the talks, Wang launched a blistering critique of U.S. policies. Meanwhile, ASEAN ministers voiced alarm over trade disruptions, signaling a tilt toward diversification. With deadlines looming and diplomacy on edge, the clash of giants over Asia’s future has just begun.

Rubio’s Funny Banter About Jaishankar at QUAD Meet Goes Viral | Jaishankar Scolds US Over Terrorism
At the QUAD Foreign Ministers’ Meeting in Washington D.C., U.S. Secretary Marco Rubio jokingly called Indian External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar a “very busy guy,” noting his constant travel. Jaishankar, alongside diplomats from Japan, Australia, and the U.S., took a firm stance on global terrorism—referencing the recent Pahalgam attack. He warned against equating victims and perpetrators, subtly addressing U.S. policy on Pakistan. The QUAD emphasized Indo-Pacific security, while Jaishankar also met with U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to deepen bilateral defense ties, calling the partnership one of the “most consequential” today.
