Trump bragging about brokering ceasefire between India-Pakistan, may cause US billions: Former Pentagon official
Friday, 16 May 2025 Michael Rubin criticizes Donald Trump's claim of brokering a ceasefire between India and Pakistan, arguing it jeopardizes strategic trust and billions in potential defense deals. Trump's boast of leveraging trade to halt hostilities risks undermining the deepening alignment between the US and India, potentially pushing New Delhi away from American arms deals.
In a dramatic twist, U.S. President Donald Trump has distanced himself from any role in the India-Pakistan ceasefire, stating cryptically, “I won’t say I did it, but…” The vague denial has sparked a wave of speculation

Russian President Vladimir Putin has issued a chilling warning from China, declaring that Russia will continue fighting in Ukraine if no peace deal is reached on Moscow’s terms.

With over three and a half years of brutal conflict, Putin’s statement signals a hardening stance and raises fears of an unending war in Europe. Will diplomacy fail, or is the world headed toward a deeper crisis? Watch the full analysis here.

Russian President Vladimir Putin warned U.S. President Donald Trump against imposing tariffs on India and China, calling it a "mistake" to pressure these nations. Putin criticized attempts to undermine their leadership, forged through challenging histories, as misguided. The remarks follow Trump’s 50% tariffs on Indian goods, escalating U.S.-India tensions, and highlight a unified stance among SCO leaders against U.S. economic coercion, signaling a shift in global alliances.

The Pentagon has confirmed the long-anticipated test date for Trump's billion-dollar "Golden Dome" missile defense system—just weeks before the 2028 election. Announced in May, Trump’s campaign-era promise aims to create a space-based shield against missile threats. The timing raises eyebrows, with defense experts questioning if this is military strategy or political theater. Led by Gen. Michael Guetlein and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, the program faces tight deadlines, scaling challenges, and skyrocketing costs. With $25B already allocated, the pressure to deliver—both technically and politically—is mounting.

The Pentagon is facing yet another high-profile departure as Justin Fulcher, a senior advisor to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, is set to step down after only six months on the job. Fulcher is now the sixth senior official to leave the department since Hegseth's controversial appointment, raising serious questions about the stability and leadership within one of the world's most powerful military institutions. The news, first reported by CBS News as a firing, was quickly disputed by the Pentagon, with spokesman Sean Parnell calling the claim "false" and unfair to Fulcher.
This wave of resignations comes amid a turbulent tenure for Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. He has been at the center of multiple scandals, most notably a major security breach involving a Signal chat group discussing sensitive military operations, such as strikes in Yemen. In an unprecedented move, Hegseth reportedly added an editor from The Atlantic to this top-secret chat, a scandal that sent shockwaves through the defense community.
Justin Fulcher himself was no stranger to conflict within the Pentagon's walls. He reportedly stormed out of a heated meeting with the Pentagon's DOGE team in April and later claimed the Pentagon Force Protection Agency was actively searching for him. This incident allegedly infuriated Hegseth, who then personally confronted DOGE team lead Yinon Weiss for targeting his advisor. Despite the drama, Fulcher's departure statement was diplomatic, calling his time working with the Pentagon's personnel "incredibly inspiring." This video breaks down the full story behind the chaos at the Pentagon.

Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth confirmed that the Defense Department’s cloud services were previously supported by China-based engineers, raising national security concerns. Microsoft admitted to using teams in China for technical assistance but assured that no China-based staff will be involved moving forward. ProPublica revealed that limited U.S. oversight left critical Pentagon systems vulnerable, with personnel lacking the expertise to manage them effectively. Amid growing tensions with Beijing, Microsoft has pledged stricter controls to secure DoD cloud services against potential foreign risks.

In a major shift, U.S. President Donald Trump has approved a fresh $300 million military aid package to Ukraine, reportedly including rare Patriot surface-to-air missiles and medium-range rockets. The decision follows a brief and controversial Pentagon pause ordered by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, a known skeptic of increased aid to Kiev.
Trump’s move marks the first use of his Presidential Drawdown Authority, allowing emergency arms transfers directly from U.S. stockpiles. While the Pentagon claimed the pause was a limited stockpile review, it had caused concern among European allies and Ukrainian officials. Secretary of State Marco Rubio later clarified that most weapons shipments were never stopped. Trump, who has reopened ceasefire talks with Russia, acknowledged the high cost of Patriot systems but said Ukraine still needs them. The Kremlin has warned the continued weapons flow contradicts peace efforts and further complicates diplomacy.

In a dramatic turnaround, the Trump administration has resumed shipping weapons to Ukraine after a brief but controversial pause ordered by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. The move had caught even White House officials off guard and temporarily halted deliveries of key systems including Patriot missiles, GMLRS rockets, and 155 mm Howitzer rounds. Trump claimed no knowledge of the pause, stating he hadn’t given the order. Pentagon officials say the review was part of a broader stockpile assessment.
But amid growing pressure from both allies and U.S. lawmakers, shipments resumed quietly—now including precision-guided rockets and artillery shells. Trump cited Russia’s rising brutality and President Putin’s conduct as reasons for restoring deliveries. The weapons—especially the 155 mm rounds—are critical in Ukraine’s defense. With the largest drone attack yet launched by Russia, Trump’s decision underscores the escalating urgency of the war. Over $67 billion in U.S. military aid has been sent since 2022.

A day after being ignored by Russian President Vladimir Putin at the SCO Summit, Pakistan PM Shehbaz Sharif attempted damage control by praising Moscow’s ties with New Delhi, calling them “fine.” Sharif also lauded Putin as a “dynamic leader” and expressed Islamabad’s desire to strengthen relations with Russia. The awkward outreach came after Sharif was seen rushing behind Putin, who walked with China’s Xi Jinping. Meanwhile, Indian PM Narendra Modi warned against global terror double standards, highlighting decades of Pakistan-linked terrorism.
