ON CAM: Trump Humiliates European Leaders | EU Grovel In Washington, Reduced To Flattery & Obedience

At the Washington summit, Donald Trump didn’t just attend — he dominated, humiliated, and exposed Europe’s weakness on the world stage. Russian analyst Fyodor Lukyanov declares that the EU no longer acts as an independent power but as Washington’s obedient puppet, bowing to Trump’s moods and accepting America’s dictates. According to Lukyanov, the EU’s leaders now flatter the U.S. president, hoping praise will buy influence, but instead they only confirm their subservience. The summit wasn’t really about Ukraine but about showcasing Europe’s reliance on American approval. While nations like China, India, and Brazil resist U.S. pressure, Europe folds without a fight. Lukyanov warns this isn’t just Trump’s personality but a structural decline in Europe’s autonomy. Once able to assert its own interests, the EU has now lost the courage to define them. For Russia, he argues, the EU has become irrelevant — a bloc with illusions but no real power. #Trump #EU #Europe #NATO #WashingtonSummit #Ukraine #Russia #FyodorLukyanov #Geopolitics #WorldPolitics #USvsEU #TrumpSummit #EUHumiliation #GlobalOrder #TransatlanticRelations #EUWeakness #Putin #Zelensky #PoliticalDrama #InternationalRelations ~ED.102~HT.408~

Russia’s RAINS Missiles On Ukraine, Kills 1 and Injures 14 | Cities Far From Frontline Burn [Video]

Russia’s RAINS Missiles On Ukraine, Kills 1 and Injures 14 | Cities Far From Frontline Burn

Russia unleashed a massive overnight drone and missile assault on western Ukraine on Aug. 21, killing at least one civilian and injuring 14, in a brazen attack that came just days after peace talks in Washington. Explosions rocked cities far from the front line, including Lviv, Lutsk, Rivne, and Mukachevo, where a major electronics plant employing 800 people was set ablaze. Twelve civilians were hospitalized in Mukachevo alone. Air raid sirens sounded across Ukraine as Russian MiG-31 jets capable of firing Kinzhal missiles took off, triggering panic. Air defenses intercepted several drones, but multiple strikes caused fires and extensive damage to homes and infrastructure. The attack highlights Russia’s continued bombardment of civilians even as President Zelensky and former U.S. President Donald Trump publicly discuss peace. Since Trump’s Aug. 15 meeting with Putin, Russian strikes have already killed 31 civilians and injured 145 more. #Ukraine #Russia #MissileStrike #DroneAttack #Lviv #Mukachevo #Rivne #Kyiv #UkraineWar #Putin #Zelensky #Trump #PeaceTalks #WarCrimes #UkraineConflict #AirDefense #ShahedDrones #UkraineUnderAttack #BreakingNews #RussiaUkraine ~HT.408~

Trump To BUY U.S ICE Own Plane Fleet To Deport Migrant 'Aliens' From U.S ASAP [Video]

Trump To BUY U.S ICE Own Plane Fleet To Deport Migrant 'Aliens' From U.S ASAP

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem is pushing for ICE to buy its own aircraft fleet to accelerate mass deportations, a plan that could cost up to $12 billion. The Trump administration vowed to deport one million immigrants annually, with officials arguing that ICE ownership of planes could more than double removals from 15,000 to 35,000 per month. Aviation experts estimate each aircraft costs $80–400 million. Alongside, Trump ordered the southern border wall painted black to deter illegal crossings. #KristiNoem #ICE #Deportations #Trump #ImmigrationPolicy #MassDeportations #USPolitics #BorderWall #ImmigrationCrisis #ICEPlanes #TrumpAdministration #ImmigrationDebate #SouthernBorder #BreakingNews #AviationCosts #USImmigration #TrumpPlan #ICEAirFleet #BorderSecurity #DeportationPolicy #TrumpWall #ImmigrationReform #BlackBorderWall #ICEExpansion #USMexicoBorder #HomelandSecurity #Trump2025 #ImmigrantRights #NoemPush #USImmigrationNews Also Read ICE Allegedly Violated Rights of US Citizen and 21 Others During Arrests in Chicago :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/ice-violated-rights-us-citizen-chicago-activists-allege-011-4097557.html?ref=DMDesc NASA's new water-scouting CubeSat is all set to find ice on the Moon :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/nasas-new-water-scouting-cubesat-is-all-set-to-find-ice-on-the-moon-3445560.html?ref=DMDesc Tropical fruit flavours ice cream for summer indulgence from Ibaco :: https://www.oneindia.com/partner-content/new-ice-cream-flavours-from-ibaco-for-the-summer-3398222.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.96~GR.122~

Musk’s New Party ‘DEAD ON ARRIVAL’? Billionaire Cancels Key Meetings, America Party Plans COLLAPSE

Elon Musk’s much-hyped new political party has reportedly stalled just two months after its launch. Sources say Musk is retreating amid GOP pushback, fearing damage to ties with Republican leadership, especially VP JD Vance. The Tesla billionaire has suspended meetings, distanced himself from allies like Andrew Yang, and shifted focus back to Republican politics. Despite once pledging millions for his own party, Musk may now redirect support toward Vance’s 2028 White House run. Critics argue Musk lacks the credibility and infrastructure to build a lasting third-party force. #ElonMusk #MuskParty #Politics #USPolitics #Republicans #JDVance #Trump #ThirdParty #PoliticalNews #Musk2028 #AmericaPAC #RogerStone #AndrewYang #Election2028 #GOP #PoliticalShift #MuskVsTrump #BreakingNews #TeslaCEO #PoliticalDrama #Campaign2028 #ElectionNews #MuskBacksVance #WhiteHouseRace #PoliticalPower #MuskPAC #USNews #ElectionBattle #ThirdPartyFail #PoliticalComeback ~ED.420~HT.408~

‘Don’t stick your knife…’ MAGA Camp’s Shocking Plea To Get Elon Musk Back | Urges Reconciliation [Video]

‘Don’t stick your knife…’ MAGA Camp’s Shocking Plea To Get Elon Musk Back | Urges Reconciliation

A surprising twist is unfolding in U.S. politics — prominent MAGA figures are calling for Elon Musk’s return to their fold. Vice President JD Vance, strategist Roger Stone, and activists like Scott Presler are urging reconciliation despite Musk’s past feud with Donald Trump over the “Big Beautiful Bill” and his talk of forming a third party. They say Musk’s vast resources were pivotal to Trump’s 2024 victory, and could be decisive for the 2026 midterms. MAGA Inc has already raised $177 million in 2025, but leaders see Musk as the ultimate game-changer — their “George Soros of the Right.” Musk hasn’t spoken about his “America Party” in weeks and even donated $15 million to the GOP in June. He has recently supported Trump’s calls to federalize D.C. policing. The push for a full political reunion is intensifying. #MAGA #ElonMusk #DonaldTrump #JDVance #RogerStone #USPolitics #MidtermElections #MAGAInc #PoliticalDonations #AmericaParty #ScottPresler #AlexJones #Republicans #GOP #TrumpMusk #PoliticalComeback #Election2026 #GeorgeSoros #RightWing #PoliticalDrama ~HT.410~GR.122~ED.103~

WW3 Warning: ‘We Will Deploy…’ Russia’s CHILLING Warning Against U.S | Putin Lifts Missile Ban

In a chilling development, former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev declared that Moscow is no longer bound by its self-imposed moratorium on deploying medium- and short-range missiles — a move that signals a sharp escalation in its confrontation with NATO. Citing “the result of NATO’s anti-Russian policy,” Medvedev warned the West to brace for “further steps,” calling this aggressive shift a “new reality” that Russia’s opponents must face. This policy shift paves the way for the Kremlin to deploy ground-based missile systems previously banned under the now-defunct INF Treaty. Moscow’s decision has sparked fears across Europe and the U.S. of a renewed arms race and heightened global instability. The announcement comes amid rising tensions over Ukraine, NATO expansion, and growing military drills along Russian borders. As Russia signals its readiness to respond forcefully, the geopolitical chessboard enters dangerous new territory. #RussiaMissiles #MedvedevWarning #MissileMoratorium #INFwithdrawal #NATOvsRussia #DmitryMedvedev #GlobalTensions #RussiaNATOClash #MilitaryEscalation #RussiaArmsRace #PutinMoves #NewColdWar #NuclearThreats #RussiaShortRangeMissiles #RussianForeignPolicy #GeopoliticalCrisis #EuropeSecurity #USRussiaTensions #ExpectFurtherSteps #KremlinStatement Also Read War between France-Germany, Elon Musk will become US president: Predictions by close Putin aide :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/war-between-france-germany-elon-musk-will-become-us-president-predictions-by-close-putin-aide-3504786.html?ref=DMDesc Post Putin’s announcement on constitutional reforms, Russian PM steps down :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/post-putins-announcement-on-constitutional-reforms-russian-pm-steps-down-3015280.html?ref=DMDesc No visa needed for Indians to visit Russia's far east :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/no-visa-needed-indians-visit-russia-s-far-east-2408596.html?ref=DMDesc
