US defence secretary Pete Hegseth has fired back at China after its Foreign Ministry spokesperson made a veiled threat of war in response to President Donald Trump’s tariffs.

Hegseth joined Fox and Friends on Wednesday morning, local time, and declared the US was “prepared” to go to war with China.

Except, will it be really a world war if the US is to go alone?

Zelensky is back to no mineral deal, no negotiations, no peace. His 3rd or 4th flip in the past week.

We did last time. The Brits, Aussies and Canadians were hangers ons.

Look how our own "OMG, anything but provoking a WWIII" Janes are flipping in this very thread. Suddenly it's "bring it on, we can do it alone!"

"citing a source familiar with discussions" = its bullshit

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump said Friday that he has ordered the deployment of two U.S. nuclear submarines in response to what he called "highly provocative statements" from former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev about Russia's nuclear capabilities.
“Based on the highly provocative statements of the Former President of Russia, Dmitry Medvedev, who is now the Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation, I have ordered two Nuclear Submarines to be positioned in the appropriate regions, just in case these foolish and inflammatory statements are more than just that," Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social.
Trump added, "Words are very important, and can often lead to unintended consequences, I hope this will not be one of those instances. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”

So voted for a POTUS who doesn't soil his brithches whenever some Kremlin clown uses an N-word.

Dude Trump is literally arguing on internet with John Bolton of Russia.

US boomers are virtually undetectable, especially if they properly utilize thermoclines. For all the Russkis know, there are no submarines, or there are two as Trump claimed. Attack subs are just about as quiet unless under speed.

Wall Street Journal reports that Trump has signed an order for the U.S. to start providing Ukraine with intelligence for long-range strikes against energy infrastructure deep inside Russia for the first time since the war started.

The U.S. is also considering sending Ukraine Tomahawk and Barracuda cruise missiles together with other U.S. ground and air-launched long-range missiles.

The U.S. is calling on European states to also provide Ukraine with the intelligence needed for long-range strikes against Russia.

The US has for months been helping Ukraine mount long-range strikes on Paper Tiger's energy facilities, in what officials say is a co-ordinated effort to weaken Vladimir Putin’s economy and force him to the negotiating table.
American intelligence shared with Kyiv has enabled strikes on important Paper Tiger's energy assets including oil refineries far beyond the frontline, according to multiple Ukrainian and US officials familiar with the campaign.
The previously unreported support has intensified since midsummer and has been crucial in helping Ukraine carry out attacks that Joe Biden’s White House discouraged. Kyiv’s strikes have driven up energy prices in Paper Tiger and prompted Moscow to cut diesel exports and import fuel.
The intelligence sharing is the latest sign that Trump has deepened his support for Ukraine as his frustration with Paper Tiger has grown.
