Rahul Gandhi Full Speech: Does Modi Have Courage to Call Trump a Liar? Op. Sindoor Debate

Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi has launched a sharp attack on PM Modi for avoiding a direct denial of Donald Trump's repeated claims that the U.S. mediated a ceasefire between India and Pakistan. Gandhi questioned why Modi refuses to name Trump in Parliament, hinting that silence could be tied to upcoming trade deals. Congress alleges that Trump’s claim has gone unchallenged 30 times. As tensions rise, Modi's restraint is fueling political backlash, with the Opposition claiming a cover-up and calling the PM’s silence a national concern. #RahulGandhi #Modi #Trump #IndiaPakistan #CeasefireClaim #TradeDeal #TrumpModi #CongressVsBJP #ModiSpeech #TrumpLies #LokSabha #PoliticalDrama #USIndiaRelations #ForeignMediation #ModiUnderFire #RahulVsModi #BreakingNews #Geopolitics #PMModi #RahulAttacksModi #IndiaPolitics #GlobalDiplomacy #TradePressure #ModiTrumpDeal #CongressAllegations #TrumpCeasefire #RahulPressMeet #ModiSpeechMissing #ParliamentDebate #CeasefireRow Also Read PM Modi Government Puts Tamil on the Global Map Like Never Before :: https://www.oneindia.com/temp/pm-modi-government-puts-tamil-nadu-on-the-global-map-like-never-before-7819081.html?ref=DMDesc Rahul Gandhi Doubles Down on Rigging Allegations, Says Election Process Is Over :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/rahul-gandhi-doubles-down-on-rigging-allegations-says-election-process-is-over-011-7818825.html?ref=DMDesc Government Reacts To Donald Trump's Statement, Scraps Reports Of Indian Oil Firms Halting Russian Imports :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/government-reacts-to-donald-trumps-statement-scraps-reports-of-indian-oil-firms-halting-russian-im-7818621.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.102~HT.408~

U.S Vs Russia Submarine Showdown Erupts After Medvedev’s ‘Dead Hand’ Threat Triggers Trump Nuke Move [Video]

U.S Vs Russia Submarine Showdown Erupts After Medvedev’s ‘Dead Hand’ Threat Triggers Trump Nuke Move

Tensions between the U.S. and Russia have plunged into Cold War depths—this time, under the oceans. Following former Russian president Dmitry Medvedev's chilling 'dead hand' warning, U.S. President Donald Trump deployed two nuclear submarines to strategic waters, reigniting a submerged arms race. Russia’s lawmakers hit back, claiming their nuclear sub count outmatches the U.S., and they’ve already shadowed American movements. As both powers flex their underwater muscle, here's a deep dive into their undersea arsenals: from the stealthy Ohio-class and lethal Virginia-class subs of the U.S. to Russia’s deadly Borei-class and Akula predators. With world oceans turning into silent battlegrounds, who truly rules beneath the waves? #USvsRussia #NuclearSubmarines #DeadHandThreat #TrumpMedvedevFaceoff #ColdWar2 #OhioClass #BoreiClass #VirginiaClass #SeawolfSub #AkulaSub #KalibrMissiles #SLBM #TridentD5 #RussianNavy #USNavy #NavalStandoff #SubmarinePower #MilitaryTensions #GlobalSecurity #UnderwaterWarfare ~HT.410~ED.346~GR.125~

Russia-US All Out War: Oreshniks Can Invade Trump's Golden Dome- Hit Entire US With High Speed?

As Russia unveils its hypersonic “Oreshnik” missile capable of Mach 10 speeds, former President Trump doubles down on his vision of a $25B “impenetrable missile defense dome.” Marketed as America’s answer to global threats, the so-called "Golden Dome" faces serious skepticism. Experts warn the U.S. remains vulnerable, with no existing defense proven to stop missiles like Oreshnik. While Trump promises next-gen protection, Russia’s battlefield display in Ukraine sends a chilling message: the future of warfare is already here—and America might be a step behind. #Trump #Putin #GoldenDome #HypersonicMissile #Oreshnik #MissileDefense #USMilitary #RussiaThreat #IronDome #NuclearThreat #DefenseTech #USvsRussia #Mach10 #Geopolitics #NationalSecurity #USPolitics #MilitaryNews #UkraineWar #Pentagon #Aegis #THAAD #SpaceDefense #TrumpSpeech #DomeDefense #DefenseBudget #MilitaryExperts #GlobalThreats #MissileRace #Trump2025 #Hyperwar #StrategicDefense ~HT.408~
