Trump’s snarky takedown of Russia and India cozying up to ‘deepest, darkest’ China
By Emily Crane
President Trump on Friday bemoaned India and Russia’s deepening ties to China — just days after the world leaders cozied up to each other in Beijing for a military parade.
“Looks like we’ve lost India and Russia to deepest, darkest, China,” Trump snarked on Truth Social as he shared an image of Chinese President Xi Jinping, Russia’s Vladimir Putin and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi together on the world stage.
“May they have a long and prosperous future together!”

The leaders of the three countries were joined by North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un as they appeared together in public for the first time on Wednesday to mark the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II.
At one point during the pompous proceedings, Modi was even spotted holding hands with the Russian strongman.
Trump had already used the joint appearance to bash the brutal dictators of China, Russia and North Korea for conspiring against the US.

He also accused them of just putting on a show.
“I thought it was very, very impressive, but I understood the reason they were doing it. And they were hoping I was watching — and I was watching,” Trump said of China’s military showboating.

Trump’s latest savagery comes after he slapped India with a slew of actions, including piling 50% tariffs on Indian goods and publicly browbeating New Delhi over what his administration sees as its opportunistic purchases of cheap Russian oil.
