In a move set to draw global attention, US President Donald Trump is preparing an elaborate welcome for Russian President Vladimir Putin at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in Alaska on August 15. According to senior administration officials, Trump will personally greet Putin on the tarmac, rolling out the red carpet in a rare display of pageantry between Washington and Moscow. While the final schedule remains under wraps, one official confirmed Trump is not expected to speak with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy or European leaders before the meeting. The high-profile encounter comes at a time of strained US-Russia relations, with both leaders expected to discuss security, trade, and global conflicts. Observers say the optics of this meeting could have far-reaching political consequences, especially given its unusual location and symbolic timing.

As Donald Trump prepares to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin in Anchorage, Alaska, on Friday, Americans remain deeply divided over the high-stakes summit. Critics are denouncing the meeting as a “travesty” and a potential act of betrayal, warning it could undermine U.S. interests and embolden Moscow. Supporters, however, see the gathering as a historic opportunity for Trump to broker a path toward “world peace,” arguing that direct dialogue could end dangerous escalations.
The Alaska meeting, set against the backdrop of the Ukraine war and tense U.S.-Russia relations, is drawing intense media coverage and heated public debate. While some fear Trump will concede too much to Putin, others believe he is uniquely capable of negotiating a breakthrough. With speculation running high, all eyes now turn to Anchorage, where the outcome could redefine America’s role on the global stage.

Sir Ed Davey said he is "sceptical" about Donald Trump's ability to bring peace to Ukraine. "The problem is Ukraine is not up on the table, you can't have another country negotiating for another country," Mr Davey added.

North Korea has issued a stark warning to the United States and South Korea over their upcoming Ulchi Freedom Shield military drills, calling them a “direct provocation” and a serious threat to stability on the Korean Peninsula. Defense Minister No Kwang Choi, in a statement via state-run KCNA, condemned the large-scale exercise — set for August 18–28 — which will involve live field maneuvers, computer simulations, and civil defense training. He warned of “negative consequences” and vowed that Pyongyang would exercise its “sovereign right” to self-defense if provoked.
While the Combined Forces Command insists the drills are defensive in nature, half of the planned field exercises have been postponed due to extreme weather and to avoid escalating tensions. This comes as both Koreas recently removed propaganda loudspeakers along the DMZ, hinting at fragile attempts to improve relations despite the looming military standoff.

In a stunning geopolitical twist, President Donald Trump has announced plans for a dramatic three-way summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky — possibly within days. The meeting, which Trump disclosed during a private call with top European leaders, would mark the first in-person U.S.-Russia presidential summit in over four years. Sources reveal that the exclusive trio gathering would not involve NATO or European counterparts — sparking both shock and skepticism across allied capitals.
Trump, who believes in his unmatched personal diplomacy, insists that face-to-face talks are the only route to peace. While Zelensky hinted at cautious optimism, European leaders voiced doubts about Putin’s sincerity. Trump’s team confirmed that Russia requested the meeting and that his envoy, Steve Witkoff, has already met with Putin. The bold move echoes Trump’s past direct diplomacy tactics, like with North Korea's Kim Jong-un. Could this meeting really end the war?

North Korea is openly warning the U.S. to recognize it as a nuclear power or abandon hopes of future diplomacy. Backed by Russia, Pyongyang says denuclearization is off the table and that Washington’s expectations are outdated. Kim Jong Un’s sister mocked U.S. efforts and insisted the “2025 reality” demands a new approach. Russia’s Foreign Minister Lavrov supported North Korea’s stance, citing self-defense. With alliances forming and rhetoric intensifying, the DPRK declares its nuclear status non-negotiable—placing future talks in deep uncertainty.

he U.S. has deployed Dark Eagle hypersonic missiles and Typhoon systems in Germany, sparking WW3 fears across Europe. Capable of striking targets over 3,000 km away, these weapons are aimed at deterring Russia amid rising NATO tensions. In response, Russia revoked its missile moratorium and threatened NATO allies with the deadly Oreshnik missile. With deployments planned in Asia too, including Australia and the Philippines, the U.S. missile strategy is reshaping global military balance. Putin warns of escalation, as both sides gear up for potential confrontation in Europe and beyond.

During the recent 12-day war between Iran and Israel, the United States fired over 150 THAAD interceptors, exhausting nearly 25% of its total stockpile and racking up costs estimated at $1.9 billion. While the U.S. deployed its most advanced missile defense systems to shield Israeli territory, dozens of Iranian missiles still struck their targets — raising alarming questions about the limits of missile defense saturation and America’s readiness for future conflicts.
The Pentagon now faces a growing stockpile crisis, with only 11 THAAD missiles produced in 2024 and a slow ramp-up planned for 2025 and 2026. As tensions continue to rise across the Middle East and Asia, the strategic shortfall of THAAD interceptors is being watched closely by major powers like China and Russia.
This report includes archival visuals of Trump-era THAAD deployments, Iranian missile attacks, and exclusive coverage of defense developments as the U.S. military reassesses its global missile defense posture.

The spectacle of Israel's Itamar Ben-Gvir humiliating perhaps the most popular of all Palestinians in his prison cell was as unedifying as the national security.. Sky News
Hamas has condemned Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu’s “Greater Israel” remarks as “madness” and a threat to regional stability, urging Arab states to cut ties with Israel and back Palestinian resistance. Hamas accused Israel of using settler violence as part of an annexation strategy in the West Bank, vowing continued defiance against occupation. Iran’s Foreign Ministry also slammed the plan, warning it targets territories in Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria. Netanyahu called the vision a historical and spiritual mission for Israel.

Israeli media report plans to call up 80,000–100,000 IDF reserve troops for a potential occupation of Gaza City under PM Netanyahu’s strategy to dismantle Hamas. The operation, approved in principle by IDF Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi, could last until late 2026. Hamas vows fierce resistance, condemning Netanyahu’s “Greater Israel” remarks as dangerous delusion. With Israel already engaged on multiple fronts, including Lebanon and Yemen, tensions are soaring. Hamas claims recent strikes on an Israeli Merkava 4 tank and D9 bulldozer.
