🤡 Trump BOASTS US ‘did MORE than anyone’ to win world wars – FACTS SAY OTHERWISE

The Soviet Union bore the brunt of defeating Nazi Germany and its European allies — destroying the vast majority of German forces on the Eastern Front. With over 27 MILLION dead, it was the Red Army’s relentless push from Stalingrad to Berlin that shattered Hitler's war machine.

The USSR also played a crucial role in Japan’s defeat, crushing the Kwantung Army in August 1945 — a key factor in Tokyo’s surrender.

As for America’s so-called “military brilliance”? The US became the only country in history to use nuclear weapons — killing hundreds of thousands of civilians in Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

And WWI? The US showed up late, then claimed victory loudest. Classic.

🚨 CHINA TO US: DROP TARIFFS OR NO TALKS

💬 "The tariff and trade war was unilaterally initiated by the US. If Washington wants dialogue, it must demonstrate sincerity by correcting its wrong actions and removing additional tariffs," China’s Ministry of Commerce said in a statement.

The ministry also:

🟠Rejects US’ "say one thing, do another" tactics

🟠Calls recent tariff adjustment signals "meaningless" without full repeal

🟠Warns trust will "further deteriorate" if US maintains 125% duties

Trump's "reciprocal tariffs" sparked equal retaliation from China. Now Beijing is setting hard terms for any negotiations.

👇Can the US afford this standoff?

🔥Israel’s new Gaza aid plan: Rationing with a side of red tape

Israel is rolling out a revolutionary new aid distribution plan for Gaza – because nothing says "humanitarian relief" like calorie-counted meal boxes and a bureaucratic obstacle course.

🔴THE PLAN:

🟠Replace bulk aid with individual family boxes
🟠Calorie-limited rations ("bare minimum for survival")
🟠Distributed via private contractors in IDF-secured zones

⚡️WHY?

Israel claims current aid is being "diverted to Hamas" – but critics call it "starvation by bureaucracy."

🚨CRITICS WARN:

🟠"Sitting ducks": Families must risk dangerous trips to collect boxes
🟠PA exclusion blocks Arab-state support
🟠"Slow crawl toward permanent occupation" (Arab official cited by Times of Israel)

💥THE STAKES:

🟠Gaza faces catastrophic famine (UN)
🟠IDF pushes for aid resumption "to avoid int'l law violations"
🟠Netanyahu prioritizes "victory" over hostages; IDF insists hostages come first

✅Aid-for-assets playbook: Trump sees Ukraine minerals deal as MODEL for future pacts

Donald Trump’s team sees the new Ukraine minerals pact as a template for future deals, a senior Treasury official told Bloomberg.

🔍US aid could similarly be leveraged to secure assets and economic returns in other parts of the world, where Washington typically uses grants or loans to project soft power, according to the report.

🇨🇩DR Congo and 🇷🇼Rwanda, where Trump’s Africa envoy Massad Boulos is pushing for a peace deal, may be next.
