US BREAKING: Trump FORCES $25B Golden Dome Trial Before 2028Vote|Political Pressure to FAIL Project?

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. #GoldenDome #TrumpDefense #MissileDefense #2028Election #NationalSecurity #TrumpAgenda #SpaceShield #PentagonTest #FTIX #USPolitics #DefenseStrategy #TrumpCampaign #ElectionTiming #TrumpNews #MissileThreat #USMilitary #PoliticalStrategy #WhiteHouse #TrumpVsPentagon #BallisticMissiles #MilitaryFunding #PeteHegseth #MichaelGuetlein #BillionDollarTest #DefenseNews #SpaceDefense #TrumpTrialTest #PentagonMove #USDefenseShield #TrumpSpeech ~ED.194~HT.408~GR.125~

WW3 To Begin Soon? Russian Submarine Spotted 'Near U.S Coast' After Trump's Deployment

Tensions between Washington and Moscow are spiraling after U.S. President Donald Trump ordered the deployment of two nuclear submarines near Russian waters in response to Dmitry Medvedev’s chilling “dead hand” threat. The move has fueled fears of World War 3, despite experts calling it “posturing.” A viral video claiming Russian Borei-class submarines armed with Bulava missiles are stationed off the U.S. coast has added to the panic, though fact-checkers confirmed the footage is from 2018. Trump defended his decision on Truth Social, warning that “words are important and can have unintended consequences.” Analysts suggest the deployment signals strength but does not escalate nuclear confrontation. The standoff comes as Trump grows increasingly frustrated with Vladimir Putin’s refusal to negotiate a Ukraine ceasefire, with both nations engaging in nuclear saber-rattling unseen since the Cold War. #Trump #Russia #NuclearSubs #WW3Fears #MedvedevThreat #Putin #USRussiaTensions #NuclearStandoff #DeadHandThreat #WarFears #TruthSocial #GlobalCrisis #NuclearWeapons #BoreiSubmarines #BulavaMissiles #WorldWar3 #Geopolitics #NuclearDeployment #USMilitaryPower #RussiaVsUS ~ED.346~GR.124~HT.318~

‘Sanctions Don’t Bother Him’ Trump Drops BOMBSHELL Over Russia-Ukraine War | Zelenksy Loses War?

President Donald Trump has admitted that new U.S. sanctions on Russia might not have any effect on Vladimir Putin — but is moving ahead with them anyway. Trump slashed the peace window for a Ukraine deal from 50 days to just 10, warning of brutal economic penalties if Moscow doesn't comply. These include up to 100% tariffs and potential secondary sanctions on countries doing business with Russia. While Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov downplayed the threats, saying Russia has developed “sanctions immunity,” Trump’s frustration is mounting. The president also announced that special envoy Steve Witkoff will soon travel to Russia following visits to Israel and Gaza. Trump’s acting UN envoy confirmed a ceasefire deadline: August 8. Despite over 10,000 sanctions already in place since the 2014 Ukraine crisis, Putin maintains the West has failed to break Russia’s economy. The standoff is reaching a boiling point. #Trump #Putin #RussiaSanctions #UkraineWar #USRussiaTensions #100PercentTariffs #CeasefireDeadline #Witkoff #Peskov #TrumpPutinShowdown #UkrainePeaceDeal #SecondarySanctions #EconomicWar #SanctionsFail #TrumpWarning #VladimirPutin #SanctionedNation #RussiaImmunity #TrumpSpeech #USForeignPolicy ~ED.102~HT.408~GR.125~

Trump Demands Hamas SURRENDER & Release Hostages for Ceasefire in Gaza as Witkoff meets Netanyahu

Donald Trump has issued a stark ultimatum to Hamas: “Surrender and release the hostages” or face continued starvation in Gaza. Amid mounting criticism of Israel’s war strategy and stalled hostage talks, Trump shifted his tone—demanding Hamas end resistance to stop the humanitarian crisis. As Netanyahu meets U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff, discussions center on reviving negotiations via Qatar and Egypt.

Tensions flare as Hamas rejects U.S. accusations that it derailed ceasefire negotiations, insisting it submitted a final response after wide consultations. The Palestinian group claims it remains committed to halting Israeli aggression and securing desperately needed humanitarian aid for Gaza. Meanwhile, U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff abruptly withdrew from the Doha talks, citing Hamas’s “lack of good faith.” With Israeli airstrikes continuing and 28 nations now demanding an end to the blockade, pressure is rising on all sides. #GazaCeasefire #HamasIsrael #MiddleEastCrisis #GazaAidCrisis #DohaTalks #USForeignPolicy #IsraelPalestine #UNDiplomacy #HumanitarianCrisis #FreePalestine #CeasefireNow #InternationalLaw ~PR.274~HT.408~ED.102~GR.124~
