The underdog U.S. team defeated the four-time defending gold medal Soviet team at the XIII Olympic Winter Games in Lake Placid, New York.

The U.S. win is considered one of the most dramatic upsets in Olympic history.

The Soviet squad fell to the youthful American team 4-3 before a frenzied crowd of 10,000 spectators.

‘IDIOTS! They are showing their true colours’ – Putin slams Ukrainians attacking WWII Memorials

Russian President Vladimir Putin slammed Ukrainian nationalists as "idiots" for destroying Soviet-era World War II monuments, linking the acts to neo-Nazi ideology. Citing Ukraine's de-communization efforts—such as removing statues and renaming cities—Putin accused Kyiv of erasing the Red Army's legacy and glorifying Nazi collaborators. He reaffirmed “de-Nazification” as a central goal of Russia’s war. Meanwhile, Moscow claimed full control over the Kursk border region, praising volunteers for thwarting last year's Ukrainian attempt to seize the nuclear power plant. #Putin #UkraineWar #WWIIMonuments #DeCommunization #NeoNazism #KurskRegion #RussianLegacy #UkraineConflict #RedArmy #PushkinStatue #CulturalErasure #PutinSpeech #RussiaUkraineWar #DeNazification #SovietLegacy #HistoricalRevisionism #UNESCOConcerns #KurskPowerPlant #UkraineAttack #KremlinNarrative #WarOfNarratives #EasternEurope #RussiaUkraineTensions #KievPolicy #UkraineNews #RussiaClaimsVictory Also Read Donald Trump Says Russia-Ukraine Ceasefire Talks To Begin 'Immediately' Following Call With Putin :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/donald-trump-says-russia-ukraine-ceasefire-talks-to-begin-immediately-following-call-with-putin-4158165.html?ref=DMDesc Putin Declares 'Easter Truce' In Russia-Ukraine War Amid US Proposal, Ceasefire To Stay Till Sunday Midnight :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/putin-declares-easter-truce-in-russia-ukraine-war-amid-us-proposal-to-stay-untill-sunday-midnight-4128473.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Blames Putin & Zelenskyy as He Seeks to End Ukraine War :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-blames-putin-zelenskyy-as-he-seeks-to-end-ukraine-war-4109951.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.103~HT.408~

NUCLEAR STOCKPILE: Russia Surpasses U.S in Warheads | Israel & N. Korea with Undeclared SECRET Nukes

With World War 3 fears looming and nuclear tensions rising, just 9 nations possess nuclear weapons—led by Russia (5,449) and the U.S. (5,277). China, India, Pakistan, and others follow far behind. While 7 countries have officially declared their arsenals, Israel and North Korea remain ambiguous. Over 12,000 nuclear warheads exist today, a stark drop from Cold War highs, yet each bomb holds devastating potential. As deterrence theory dominates global policy, growing voices now demand complete nuclear disarmament to save humanity. #NuclearWeapons #WorldWar3 #NuclearTensions #Russia #USA #China #India #Israel #NorthKorea #Pakistan #France #UK #DeNuclearisation #MutuallyAssuredDestruction #NuclearArmsRace #Hiroshima #Nagasaki #AtomicThreat #GlobalSecurity #NukeStats #NuclearPower #NuclearPolicy #ArmsControl #NuclearFacts #NuclearStates #Geopolitics #WW3Alert #ColdWarLegacy #NuclearWarheads #FASData #HumanSurvival #PeaceNotWar Also Read US Intelligence Assessed Iran Isn’t Building Nukes; Trump Disagreed With Finding :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-experts-asserted-that-iran-is-not-making-nukes-trump-rejected-their-observation-4184805.html?ref=DMDesc Donald Trump Supported Israel's Plan To Kill Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei: US Officials :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/donald-trump-supported-israels-plan-to-kill-iran-supreme-leader-ayatollah-ali-khamenei-us-offici-4182653.html?ref=DMDesc Israel's Defence Minister Says 'Tehran Will Burn' If... :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/israels-defence-minister-says-tehran-will-burn-if-4181667.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~ED.103~

‘Hegseth touted the cold war
’ China BLASTS U.S In Response To Pete Hegseth's Speech In Singapore

China has lashed out at U.S. Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth following his remarks at the Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore, where he warned that China could imminently use military force against Taiwan. Beijing condemned the speech as provocative and divisive, accusing Hegseth of inciting bloc confrontation and pushing a Cold War mentality. China's foreign ministry dismissed the U.S. accusations as defamatory and asserted that only Washington deserved the label of a hegemonic power. The fiery exchange underscores growing regional tensions over Taiwan and the Indo-Pacific power balance. #China #PeteHegseth #TaiwanCrisis #IndoPacific #USChinaTensions #ShangriLaDialogue #AsiaPacific #ColdWarRhetoric #TaiwanConflict #USDefence #ChinaUS #TaiwanStrait #Geopolitics #CCP #MilitaryThreat #BlocConfrontation #WarOfWords #DefenceSpeech #BeijingVsWashington #AsiaSecurity ~HT.318~ED.102~GR.124~
