WW3 Warning: China, India, Russia Alliance Could DESTROY U.S Military Power | Trump's BIGGEST Threat

A growing trilateral alliance between Xi Jinping, Vladimir Putin, and Narendra Modi could present a historic challenge to U.S. power. With Russia’s nuclear might, China’s economic dominance, and India’s rising strategic presence, analysts warn this bloc could break NATO's influence. Trump’s rhetoric, including attacks on India’s economy and NATO tensions, risks isolating the U.S. just as this new alliance gains ground—pushing the world closer to a possible WW3 scenario. #TrumpVsWorld #WW3Fears #Putin #XiJinping #NarendraModi #GlobalConflict #TrilateralAlliance #Geopolitics #NATO #RussiaChinaIndia #USForeignPolicy #Trump2025 #WorldWar3 #MilitaryTensions #NuclearThreat #ChinaNavy #RussianMissiles #IndianArmy #Medvedev #USVsAll #GlobalPowerShift #BRICS #EurasianAlliance #TrumpSpeech #DeadEconomy #NuclearRace #DefenseNews #BreakingNews #AsiaRising #TrumpBacklash #USAlliances Also Read Trump Claims Canada's Recognition of Palestinian State Complicates Trade Negotiations :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-uses-canada-palestinian-state-recognition-leverage-trade-talks-011-7817517.html?ref=DMDesc Trump's Ambition as a Global Peacemaker Faces Challenges Amid Gaza Ceasefire Talks :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-global-peacemaker-gaza-ceasefire-challenges-011-7810943.html?ref=DMDesc Is Xi Jinping Preparing To Step Down As Chinese President?
