Trump Fires Back at Medvedev: “Keep an Eye on Your Own”
Ever since the former Russian president Dmitry‑Mitya Medvedev started gloating about stepping into the “war zone” with the U.S., Donald Trump has been rolling out all sorts of warning shots.
“Watch Your Wards!” – Trump’s Take‑It‑All‑the‑Way‑Out
- On Truth Social, Trump dropped the line: “They can take their dead economies down together, for all I care.” He basically said he’d be fine if the U.S. and Russia decided to execute a “wedding of fiscal doom.”
- He added a snazzy detour about India, pointing out that, in his view, the country’s tariffs are “too high, among the highest in the world.”
Medvedev Responds with a Calm, Cautionary Note
The Russian former president, now the deputy chair of the Security Council, shot back that the U.S. is “not to ignore the labels of ‘dead’” when it comes to economic threats. He folded his diplomatic coat over a terse southern Far East smile, indicating that any serious escalation would be a mistake for both nations.
Side‑By‑Side: Arms Race or Just a Big Coffee?
The two executive wizards are trading barbs, but the core question remains: Will we get down to a grand diplomatic show‑down or just a friendly coffee‑shop bargaining session outside the White House?

Ukrainian Spy Net Gears Up: Russian Mole in the Air‑Field Business
The High‑Stakes Shout‑Out
Picture this: a smooth‑talking Russian operative, deep undercover, whispering plans in a field where planes land and take off. The Ukrainian security services pulled him off the runway and into the spotlight. It’s not just a routine arrest, it’s a headline‑making, heart‑pounding episode of espionage.
Why It Matters
- Airfields are the beating heart of military logistics.
- A stealthy mole could sabotage flights, delay supply chains, or turn a flight into a Kremlin‑sponsored drama.
- Lucky for Ukraine, the mole’s plans were intercepted before they could even get off the ground.
Political Drama in the American Corner
Meanwhile, across the world, a different kind of tension is heating up. Mr. Medvedev is hyping up his “ultimatum game” with President Trump, sounding off that each new ultimatum brings the U.S. closer to a showdown with Moscow. Trump calls the move dangerous territory, and Medvedev’s countermove? He’s just saying Russia is doing exactly what it’s supposed to do—staying steely, unbothered by any “nervous reaction.”
Medvedev even dropped into social media with a side‑kick rant about “walking dead” movies and the perils of a “dead hand.” He’s nudging folks to remember how the Soviet Union’s nuclear deterrent—called “Perimeter”—was a silent guardian that could strike back if the Soviet bloc ever came under fire.
Trump’s Tariff Tango with India
In a move that packed a punch, President Trump slapped India with a 25% tariff on Thursday. The plan kicks in this Friday. Why? Because India is one of Russia’s biggest energy purchasers—and that revenue is feeding the war in Ukraine.
On Truth Social, Trump put it straight: “India is a friend, but their tariffs are sky‑high. They’ve got the most annoying, non‑cash trade barriers. And let’s not forget, they buy a ton of military gear from Russia. It’s all about pulling them back on that financial boat.”
- Tariff starts on August 1st.
- India will be paying a 25% cut plus a penalty.
- All part of a mission to curb Russia’s war economy.
The Bottom Line
In short, we’re watching a trio of moves—Ukrainian spy busts, hot political exchanges, and a big economic slamming—to keep the world’s power balance on a razor‑thin edge. One question remains: will the combined pressure push conflict into the open, or will it sting enough to stop a few rogue plans? Only time will tell.
