Bombshell Kremlin leak exposes Trump
Leaked documents from the Kremlin show the Russian President personally involved in an operation to help Donald Trump win the 2016 US Presidential election.
The bombshell documents have been obtained by The Guardian newspaper.
They appear to have come from a closed meeting of the country’s national security council in January 2016, when Donald Trump had become the Republican front runner.
The most significant Kremlin document describes Mr Trump as the “most promising candidate” from Russia’s perspective.
Trump is described as an “impulsive, mentally unstable and unbalanced individual who suffers from an inferiority complex” and his ascent to the presidency “will definitely lead to the destabilisation of the US’s sociopolitical system”.
The paper says “It is acutely necessary to use all possible force to facilitate his election to the post of US president.”
They agreed a Trump White House would help secure Moscow’s strategic objectives, among them “social turmoil” in the US and a weakening of the American president’s negotiating position.
Russia’s three spy agencies were ordered to find practical ways to support Trump, in a decree appearing to bear Putin’s signature.
COMPROMISING MATERIAL
It also alludes to compromising material that Russia supposedly has on Mr Trump. The paper refers to “certain events” that happened during Trump’s trips to Moscow.
Donald Trump has labelled the documents “disgusting fake news”. The Kremlin has dismissed the papers as a great fiction.
Western intelligence agencies are understood to have been aware of the documents for some months and to have carefully examined them.
In a statement, Mr Trump called The Guardian’s story “disgusting”.
“This is disgusting. It’s fake news, just like RUSSIA, RUSSIA, RUSSIA was fake news,” said the former president.

Trump orders Pentagon to resume nuclear testing, raising concerns over arms race and global safety
– Trump ordered the Pentagon to resume nuclear testing, risking global tensions and retaliation from other nations.
– Proliferation concerns are rising as nuclear states modernise arsenals and the New START Treaty nears expiration.
The potential for worldwide radioactive fallout remains high, even for underground tests. The Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty, signed by 187 states, prohibits such testing, yet the US remains a signatory without ratification, bound not to violate the treaty’s intent.
Nuclear weapon testing, once crucial for understanding weapon effects and military planning, has diminished. Since World War II, nuclear tests have largely focused on developing new designs. Significant environmental and health concerns led to a moratorium on atmospheric testing in the early 1960s and the Partial Test Ban Treaty in 1963.
Many countries, including the US, stopped explosive testing in the 1990s. Technological advancements allowed nations to develop nuclear weapons without the need for actual explosions.
Proliferation Risks
Nuclear proliferation continues, with all nine nuclear-armed states investing heavily in modernising their arsenals. This raises concerns about lowered thresholds for using such weapons.
Recent conflicts involving nuclear threats have escalated, and the number of nuclear weapons operationally available has begun to rise again. Russia has tested advanced nuclear weapons, while China is rapidly expanding its military capabilities.
The New START Treaty, which confines the nuclear capabilities of the US and Russia, is set to expire soon, with no successor treaty negotiations underway.
The Doomsday Clock has moved closer to midnight this year, highlighting the heightened dangers facing the world today.
