Kremlin SLAMS Trump In A FIERY Response To His ‘Kid’s Brawl’ Comment On Russia-Ukraine War

In a stunning Oval Office remark, U.S. President Donald Trump compared the Russia-Ukraine war to “two kids fighting,” saying it might be better to let them brawl before stepping in. The Kremlin responded sharply, calling the war an "existential issue" tied to Russia’s national security and future. As German Chancellor Merz urged U.S. intervention, Trump signaled a more hands-off approach. The latest Trump-Putin exchange reveals deep global divisions and raises questions about America’s role in ending the war.

“Let Them Fight For A While” Trump’s SHOCKING Comments On Russia-Ukraine War | Putin | Zelenskyy

In a dramatic analogy, U.S. President Donald Trump compared the Russia-Ukraine war to a children's brawl, saying it's better to “let them fight for a while” before peace is enforced. During his Oval Office meeting with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, Trump claimed acting like a referee, not a peacemaker. He also hinted at possible punitive actions against both nations if the war doesn't end, stating “it takes two to tango.” Merz, invoking D-Day history, urged Trump to use America’s power to stop Putin and bring peace to Europe. #TrumpUkraine #RussiaUkraineWar #DonaldTrump #TrumpPutin #LetThemFight #TrumpControversy #UkraineWar #PutinTrump #MerzTrumpMeeting #GermanyUS #OvalOfficeDrama #TrumpSpeech #GlobalTensions #WarInUkraine #TrumpAnalogy #WorldPolitics #UkraineCrisis #USRussiaTensions #EuropeanAllies #PeaceOrWar Also Read Trump Proposes Allowing Ukraine and Russia to Fight Before Seeking Peace :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-ukraine-russia-fight-for-a-while-011-4173761.html?ref=DMDesc Ukrainian Ex-DJ Named As Alleged 'Mastermind' Of Russia Airbase Drone Attacks :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/ukrainian-ex-dj-named-as-alleged-mastermind-of-russia-airbase-drone-attacks-4171927.html?ref=DMDesc Ukraine Hits Russia's Crimea Bridge Using 1,100 Kilograms Of Explosives :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/ukraine-hits-russias-crimea-bridge-using-1-100-kilograms-of-explosives-4171479.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~PR.152~ED.102~

‘We’re Moving Them Out…’ | Trump Says Migrant Travel Ban ‘Can’t Come Soon Enough’ | Trump-Merz Meet

U.S. President Donald Trump reignited his hardline immigration rhetoric, stating that a travel ban “can’t come soon enough.” Speaking about the migrant influx, he said the U.S. is “moving them out very strongly.” Trump also offered unsolicited advice to German Chancellor Merz on handling Europe’s “little problem” of migrants. As border politics heat up, Trump’s remarks are drawing backlash and support alike. The statements reflect his familiar stance on strict immigration controls and signal renewed focus on migration in his political narrative. #TrumpTravelBan #ImmigrationCrisis #TrumpMigrantPolicy #USBorderControl #TravelBanNow #TrumpSpeech #MigrantCrisisEurope #BorderSecurity #HardlineImmigration #TrumpOnMigrants #TrumpGermanyAdvice #MerzResponse #TrumpNews #USImmigrationDebate #MigrationCrisis #EuropeMigrants #TrumpPolicies #ImmigrationReform #TrumpRhetoric #Trump2025 Also Read Trump Announces Travel Ban Affecting 12 Countries, Set To Go Into Effect Monday :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-announces-travel-ban-affecting-12-countries-set-to-go-into-effect-monday-4172715.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Doubles Steel, Aluminium Tariffs To 50%, Excludes UK: "Vital For America's 'National Security'" :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-doubles-steel-aluminium-tariffs-to-50-excludes-uk-vital-for-americas-national-security-4171703.html?ref=DMDesc Rahul Gandhi Targets PM Modi, Says Prime Minister Surrendered After Donald Trump's 'Ceasefire' Call :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/rahul-gandhi-targets-pm-modi-says-prime-minister-surrendered-after-donald-trumps-ceasefire-call-4171423.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.194~HT.336~

Germany Prepares for World War III: Big Bunker Expansion, €10B Defense Push, Alarming 2029 Deadline [Video]

Germany Prepares for World War III: Big Bunker Expansion, €10B Defense Push, Alarming 2029 Deadline

Germany is ramping up civil defense efforts like never before, with officials warning the country must be "ready for war" by 2029. From underground garages and metro tunnels turning into bunkers to emergency siren upgrades and wartime hospital prep, Berlin is preparing for the unthinkable—a direct confrontation with Russia. Civil defense chief Ralph Tiesler has called for at least €10 billion by the end of the decade, as military spending soars and public fear rises. But is this genuine preparedness or fear-fueled militarization?
