Warning Trump’s Germany troop pullout sends wrong message to Putin

Two top American legislators from Donald Trump's party have slammed the president's move to withdraw 5000 US troops based in Germany, saying it sends the wrong message to Russia. The Pentagon announced last Friday the troops would be withdrawn, making good Trump's threat after he clashed with the German Chancellor, Friedrich Merz, over the US war with Iran. But the decision has been criticised by US Republican politicians Roger Wicker and Mike Rogers, who chair the Senate and House armed services committees respectively.

US military action in Venezuela is seen as both a blessing and a curse for Russia’s Putin

The lightning US operation to capture Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro can be seen as both a benefit and a burden for Russian President Vladimir Putin, whose forces botched an attempt to capture Ukraine's capital and topple its leader at the start of Moscow's invasion nearly four years ago. The ouster of Maduro highlights another Kremlin failure to support an ally, following the downfall of Syria's former President Bashar Assad in 2024 and last year's US and Israeli attacks on Iran. With the US determined to establish control over Venezuela, Russia stands to lose a strategic foothold in the Western Hemisphere, along with billions of dollars invested in its oil industry.

The widening rift between Trump and Europe is a gift to Putin

US President Donald Trump's emissaries to the Kremlin may have been spinning their wheels during talks last week in Moscow on a possible Ukraine peace deal, but the Russians can now press a new advantage: the deepening divisions between Washington and Europe. Overnight, Trump doubled down on his administration's criticism of Europe, saying in a newly published interview with Politico that European nations were "weak" and "decaying" because of their immigration policies. He also argued that Russia had the "upper hand" in its war on Ukraine and that it was time for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to "start accepting things" when it comes to efforts to end the conflict. US President Donald Trump is interviewed by Politico about the state of Europe amid the Russia-U...
