World War 3 Update:

World War 3 Update: Trump’s Meeting With Putin Is Off, The President Of Colombia Wants To “Take Out Trump”, And Iran Makes An Ominous Nuclear Declaration

There has been a lot of talk about “peace” this year, but meanwhile global leaders just continue to push us toward more war. Negotiations between the U.S. and Russia have broken down, President Trump just threatened Hamas with military action again, Venezuela is bracing for a potential invasion by the U.S. military, the president of Colombia wants to “take out Trump”, and the Iranians have announced that there will be no restrictions as they rebuild their nuclear program. 2025 has certainly been a year of war, but I have a feeling that global conflict is going to escalate to an entirely new level during the months ahead.

When we originally learned that there would be a second summit between President Trump and Vladimir Putin in Hungary, that sparked a tremendous amount of optimism.

But now it is being reported that Trump’s meeting with Putin is officially off…

President Donald Trump’s second summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin is off.

The White House said Tuesday that the planned meeting in Budapest, announced by Trump just last week after his two-hour phone call with Putin, was no longer in the works after Secretary of State Marco Rubio spoke Monday with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov.

There is no way to spin this to make it sound like good news.

Russia’s position on ending the war has not changed, and so U.S. officials saw no reason to proceed with the summit…

The rapid dissolution of plans for another summit between Trump and Putin just two months after they met in Alaska stemmed again from Russia’s refusal to budge from its maximalist positions on what it would take for it to halt its war in Ukraine.

In a press conference in Moscow Tuesday, Lavrov said he informed Rubio that Russia’s position — that a peace agreement must come before a ceasefire in its war with Ukraine — has not changed.

The Russians already proposed a compromise solution at the summit in Alaska, but western leaders were not even willing to consider it.

Western leaders seem to think that the Russians should just accept their terms for ending the war, but that simply is not going to happen.

The Russians are clearly winning the war, and they captured another 120 square miles of Ukrainian territory during a recent four week period…

Meanwhile, heavy fighting continues in several regions, including Kharkiv and Donetsk where Russian troops were seen advancing on Saturday, CNN reported.

Russia has gained roughly 120 square miles of territory over the past four weeks, CNN reported citing the Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs at Harvard University.

There is only one way that Russian forces can be prevented from gobbling up even more territory.

But if NATO forces intervene in Ukraine, that will put us on the brink of nuclear war.

On the other side of the planet, the leaders of Colombia and Venezuela are very upset that the Trump administration has mobilized an invasion force in the Caribbean and has been bombing numerous ships that were suspected of carrying drugs.

During a discussion with Univision President Daniel Coronell, Colombia’s President Gustavo Petro ominously stated that if President Trump is not willing to back down the solution is to “take out Trump”…

Speaking with Univision President Daniel Coronell at the end of the interview at Casa de Nariño in Bogota, Petro said if Trump won’t change, the solution is to “take out Trump,” loudly snapping his fingers.

Petro: “Humanity has a first offramp, and it is to change Trump in various ways. The easiest way may be through Trump himself–the easiest. If not, take out Trump.”

Most Americans don’t realize this, but we really could go to war with Colombia.

Of course we could also end up in a war with Venezuela too.  In fact, Venezuelan officials are so concerned about a potential U.S. attack that they are literally “sleeping in different locations every night”…
