Trump Responds to China’s Military Parade: ‘Send My Warmest Regards to Putin and Kim Jong Un, Who Are Conspiring Against the U.S.’
Recent events surrounding China’s massive military parade have stirred significant international attention, especially due to the presence of authoritarian leaders such as Vladimir Putin of Russia and Kim Jong Un of North Korea.
This was one of the largest military displays in the country’s history, commemorating the 80th anniversary of Japan’s defeat.
Amidst this grand event, U.S.
President Donald Trump voiced his disapproval and issued a nuanced statement, highlighting that the United States also shed blood in previous wars, and sending his ‘warmest regards’ to the parade’s guest leaders — Putin and Kim Jong Un — whom he accused of plotting against America.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump emphasized that the U.S.
contributed significantly to China’s fight for freedom during World War II, and expressed hope that Chinese leaders and their people could celebrate with dignity and respect.
Meanwhile, international observers note that other key players are maneuvering behind the scenes: the leaders of Russia and North Korea, leveraging this occasion to bolster their positions on the global stage.
The meeting between Putin and Xi Jinping in Beijing reaffirmed the closeness of Sino-Russian relations, focusing on energy deals and strategic partnerships vital for both nations.
North Korea’s Kim Jong Un became the first North Korean leader to attend a Chinese military parade, marking a symbol of the growing alliance between the two regimes.
Against this backdrop, political strategists and policymakers convened in Tianjin, China, aiming to shape a world increasingly independent of American influence.
Countries such as China, Russia, Iran, Pakistan, and even India are forming a loose coalition, seeking to diminish U.S.
dominance.
The Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), which now covers more than half of the world’s population, emerges as a potential counterbalance to Western hegemony.
Can this ‘coalition of dissatisfied nations’ truly challenge the existing world order? Ukrainian diplomat Sergei Korsunsky explores this question in his article ‘SCO Summit: How Beijing Is Building an Autocrat Alliance Against Washington.’
