‘Americans Needed To See…’ Vance Drops Bombshell On Zelensky’s White House ‘Blow-up’Amid Ukraine War

US Vice President J.D. Vance has defended his fiery Oval Office clash with Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky, calling the February confrontation “useful” for Americans to witness. The heated exchange erupted during Zelensky’s Washington visit to secure a deal over Ukraine’s mineral resources. When Donald Trump explained his decision to stay neutral and pursue diplomacy with Moscow instead of ramping up military aid, Zelensky accused him of speaking from the safety of “a nice ocean.” Vance shot back, calling the remark “disrespectful,” and Trump told Zelensky not to lecture Americans. Vance later argued that years of unchecked aid under Joe Biden lacked strategy and failed to advance peace. He said the episode exposed Washington’s frustrations and underlined Trump’s push for a settlement with Moscow. The clash has become a flashpoint in US-Ukraine relations, showing cracks in support for Kyiv as Trump courts a diplomatic end to the war. #Zelensky #Vance #Trump #WhiteHouse #UkraineWar #OvalOffice #Kyiv #Moscow #Biden #Diplomacy #PeaceDeal #UkraineConflict #PoliticalDrama #Washington #USPolitics #RussiaUkraine #Sanctions #Geopolitics #WarCrisis #BreakingNews

WORLD WAR 3 Warning | Putin Dares Trump | Russian Spy Planes intercepted by U.S F-16s near Alaska

Tensions between Washington and Moscow are escalating as U.S. jets intercepted a Russian IL-20 “Coot” spy plane near Alaska’s Air Defense Identification Zone. NORAD scrambled an E-3 Sentry, F-16 fighters, and a KC-135 tanker to monitor the aircraft, marking the fourth Russian reconnaissance flight in a week. Though Moscow’s planes remained in international airspace, repeated incursions follow Putin’s recent meeting with Trump, fueling speculation of deliberate provocations. With rising hostilities, analysts warn the standoff could spiral toward a World War 3 flashpoint. #Russia #Putin #Trump #WorldWar3 #SpyPlane #Alaska #NORAD #USRussiaTensions #USRussiaWar #RussiaUkraineWar #UkraineRussiaWar #MilitaryDrills #RussianAirForce #USMilitary #Geopolitics #GlobalConflict #TrumpVsPutin #AirDefense #SpyFlights #BreakingNews #WarThreat #NATO #WW3Alert #DefenseNews #OneIndiaNews Also Read Getting In Bed With Authoritarians: White House Advisor Slams India's Growing Ties With China :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/getting-in-bed-with-authoritarians-white-house-advisor-slams-indias-growing-ties-with-china-7843019.html?ref=DMDesc US, India Will Eventually Unite On Issues: Trump Aide As Tariffs Kick In :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-india-will-eventually-unite-on-issues-trump-aide-as-tariffs-kick-in-011-7843001.html?ref=DMDesc Trump’s 50% Tariff on Indian Exports: Who Are the Biggest Losers? :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/trump-s-50-tariff-on-indian-exports-who-are-the-biggest-losers-7842429.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.194~HT.408~

Moscow released dramatic footage of the strike, showing the unmanned vessel ramming into the ship. Kyiv confirmed the attack, reporting one dead, several wounded, and others missing, though most of the crew survived.
