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

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~

Iran ROARS Back After US-EU 'Provocation' | Tehran Vows ‘FIRM RESPONSE’ Over IAEA Nuclear Pressure

Iran has condemned a “provocative” IAEA resolution backed by the U.S., France, the UK, and Germany, escalating nuclear tensions. Tehran insists its uranium enrichment is for peaceful purposes, warning of a "firm response" if pressured further. Amid five rounds of indirect U.S.-Iran talks in Oman, Tehran is preparing a counterproposal, rejecting the current U.S. offer for lacking sanctions relief. As Western allies push for a halt, Iran stands firm, with Supreme Leader Khamenei calling enrichment rights “nonnegotiable.” The next round of talks is set for June 15 in Muscat. #Iran #NuclearDeal #USIranTalks #IAEA #EnrichmentRights #IranNuclear #MiddleEastTensions #Tehran #Diplomacy #USForeignPolicy #France #UK #Germany #IranSanctions #IranNews #MuscatTalks #Khamenei #AbbasAraghchi #Geopolitics #GlobalSecurity #UraniumEnrichment #CivilNuclearUse #OmanTalks #Trump #WhiteHouse #IranVsWest #NonProliferation #IranUpdate #NuclearCrisis #SanctionsRelief #PeacefulEnrichment Also Read Princess Iman Pahlavi, Granddaughter of Iran’s Last Shah, Marries Her Jewish Partner in Paris Ceremony :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/princess-iman-pahlavi-granddaughter-of-iran-s-last-shah-marries-her-jewish-partner-in-paris-ceremo-4176431.html?ref=DMDesc Sobhan Samadi: Shaping The Future Of Trading Talent In Iran :: https://www.oneindia.com/partner-content/sobhan-samadi-shaping-the-future-of-trading-talent-in-iran-4173375.html?ref=DMDesc Three Indians Reported Missing In Iran; Embassy Coordinates Search Efforts :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/three-indians-reported-missing-in-iran-embassy-coordinates-search-efforts-4166117.html?ref=DMDesc

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? And how is Moscow responding? #Germany #Russia #WW3 #Bunker #CivilDefense #Berlin #NATO #MilitaryBuildUp #WorldNews #Geopolitics #GermanyVsRussia #WarPreparation #Bundeswehr #EuropeanDefense #ColdWar2 Also Read Russia May Attack THIS European Country After Ukraine :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/russia-may-attack-this-european-country-after-ukraine-4176043.html?ref=DMDesc Germany Reaffirms Strong Support for India in Combating Terrorism, Says FM Johann Wadephul :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/germany-supports-india-fight-against-terrorism-011-4175297.html?ref=DMDesc Germany: Knife Attack At Train Station In Hamburg City, 12 Injured, 3 Critical :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/germany-knife-attack-at-train-station-in-hamburg-city-12-injured-3-critical-4162369.html?ref=DMDesc ~PR.274~ED.336~ED.102~
