Putin's chilling 4-word reply to Trump's threat 'to bomb the s*** out of Moscow'

 “I Told Putin I’d Bomb Moscow”: Trump’s Explosive Threat Revealed in Fundraiser Recording

Allegations have emerged that U.S. President Donald Trump privately warned Russian President Vladimir Putin of a brutal military response should Russia invade Ukraine — including a direct threat to “bomb the s* out of Moscow.”** According to audio obtained from a 2024 campaign fundraiser, Trump made the revelation to a group of political donors, describing a blunt conversation he claims took place before Russia’s February 2022 invasion of Ukraine.

“With Putin I said, ‘If you go into Ukraine, I’m going to bomb the sh*t out of Moscow. I’m telling you I have no choice,’” Trump is heard saying in the recording.

However, Trump admits that Putin responded dismissively:

“I don’t believe you,” the Russian leader allegedly replied.

Despite the dismissive reaction, Trump claimed that Putin believed him “10%” — and that was enough to create some deterrence, at least in Trump’s view.

📞 A Frustrated President Turns Up the Pressure

Fast-forward to July 2025, and President Trump is publicly expressing growing irritation over Putin’s refusal to engage seriously in ceasefire talks. Speaking on Tuesday, Trump told reporters:

“I’m not happy with him, I can tell you that much right now.”

The remarks came as Russia launched some of the heaviest missile and drone strikes of the war to date, devastating Ukrainian infrastructure and killing civilians — actions that Trump described as “unacceptable.”

He also gave a more detailed account of his recent July 3 phone call with Putin, saying:

“We get a lot of bulls** thrown at us by Putin. He’s very nice all the time, but it turns out to be meaningless.”*

Trump’s shift in tone marks a significant turn in his previously more ambiguous posture toward the Kremlin. While critics often accused him of being too soft on Russia, these latest remarks suggest growing disillusionment inside the White House about the prospects for diplomacy.

🚫 Sanctions Still Not Guaranteed

Despite his tough talk, President Trump has not yet committed to ramping up sanctions on Russia. When asked by reporters if he would support Senator Lindsey Graham’s proposed sanctions bill, which targets countries continuing to buy Russian oil and critical minerals, Trump responded cautiously:

“We are looking at that. It’s an optional bill — totally at my option to sign or to terminate. And I’m looking at it very strongly.”

The comment underscores Trump’s reluctance to be boxed in by Congress on foreign policy and his continued preference for keeping all options on the table.

🛡️ Defensive Weapons to Ukraine Restart After Pentagon Pause

In a potentially consequential move, Trump also confirmed that his administration will resume supplying Ukraine with defensive weapons, following a brief and controversial pause in deliveries last week.

The halt, announced by the Pentagon without prior public warning, caused concern in Kyiv and raised questions about internal communication within the U.S. administration. However, Pentagon Press Secretary Kingsley Wilson clarified that the decision was part of a broader military review coordinated with the White House.

“Secretary Hegseth provided a framework for the President to evaluate military aid shipments and assess existing stockpiles,” Wilson explained.

“This effort was coordinated across government… consistent with his goal of bringing this tragic war to an end and putting America first.”

Trump emphasized that the renewed deliveries will be defensive in nature, likely including air defense systems, radar equipment, and tactical support gear.

🧨 China Under Scrutiny for Aiding Russia

Meanwhile, U.S. officials have renewed their accusations against China, claiming Beijing continues to resupply and modernize Russia’s military-industrial complex. Intelligence sources suggest that Chinese equipment and components are helping Russia rebuild weapon stockpiles used in the continued bombardment of Ukraine.

The White House has not detailed what action it may take in response, but the claims further complicate the already tense U.S.-China relationship — particularly as Trump has hinted at reintroducing tariffs and new export controls targeting Chinese companies involved in dual-use manufacturing.

🔎 Final Thoughts: Bluster or Strategy?

Whether Trump’s threats to Putin were ever delivered or taken seriously remains unknown, but their public revelation — via leaked fundraiser audio — has already made waves in Washington, Moscow, and beyond. Supporters argue that Trump’s style of unfiltered, high-stakes diplomacy kept adversaries in check, while critics warn it risks unnecessary escalation and global instability.

What’s clear is that Trump is recalibrating his tone, signaling less tolerance for Putin’s aggression and more willingness to reengage in military support for Ukraine. The world will be watching closely to see whether this tough talk evolves into concrete action — or remains part of Trump’s high-wire diplomatic persona.
