The News And Times Review – NewsAndTimes.org
The blog post titled “Trump, Netanyahu, Putin, Mob” from Current News is a curation of news headlines and video links from December 1, 2025. It highlights a series of interconnected geopolitical events involving these leaders.
Here is a summary of the key stories featured:
-
Trump and Netanyahu (The Pardon Standoff): A major focus is on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu appearing in court to request a pardon for his long-running corruption trial. Reports suggest this move is heavily backed by U.S. President Trump, with some headlines indicating Trump may even be threatening sanctions against Israeli officials if the pardon is not granted.
-
Trump, Putin, and Venezuela: The post aggregates reports of a dramatic escalation in Venezuela. Trump reportedly issued an ultimatum for Nicolas Maduro to resign and deployed U.S. F-18 fighter jets to the region. This has triggered a response from Russia (a Maduro ally), with reports of Russian aircraft in action and potential evacuations, creating a tense standoff between Trump and Putin by proxy.
-
Russia and Ukraine: There are updates on diplomatic moves regarding the Russia-Ukraine war, specifically talks between U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Ukrainian officials aimed at finding an “endgame.” Concurrently, Putin’s aides are quoted deriding President Zelensky, maintaining aggressive rhetoric despite the negotiations.
-
Domestic US Tension: The feed includes stories about domestic political conflict, such as Tulsi Gabbard (Director of National Intelligence) making allegations against Obama-era intelligence leadership, and Trump defending controversial remarks made about Tim Walz.
The title “Mob” likely refers to the overarching theme of corruption allegations, legal battles, and aggressive “strongman” political tactics connecting these different stories.

Tensions are high between the U.S. and Venezuela after President Trump declared Venezuelan airspace “closed in its entirety” over the weekend. Venezuela responded with military exercises, and Russia began an emergency evacuation of its citizens from the country amid fears of a potential U.S. attack. President Trump confirmed a personal call with Venezuelan President Maduro but offered no details on the content of the conversation. The U.S. is facing congressional inquiries regarding recent strikes on alleged drug boats in the Caribbean, operations that have killed over 80 people since September.
One National Guard member died and another was critically wounded in a shooting near the White House. The suspect, identified as Lakanwal, was arrested, and Homeland Secretary Kristi Noem stated he was radicalized in the U.S.. President Trump has invited the families of the victims to the White House.
A potential nor’easter is forecast to bring “widespread and impactful” snow and ice to the Northeast U.S., with some areas like the Poconos and Catskills potentially seeing up to a foot of snow. The storm could cause significant travel disruptions during rush hour in New York City and surrounding areas.
- Mass Shooting in California: Four people, including three children, were killed and 11 others wounded in a shooting at a banquet hall during a family gathering in Stockton, California.
- Public Health: A new study published in the journal Pediatrics suggests that children who get a smartphone before age 12 may have a higher risk of depression, obesity, and insufficient sleep.
- Sports & Entertainment: The movie Zootopia 2 had a record-setting global opening, earning $556 million.
- Finance: Social Security recipients are set to receive two SSI payments in December 2025 because the January 1, 2026, payment will be moved to the last business day of December due to the federal holiday.
- Allegations and discussions regarding President Trump’s past business ties to Russian organized crime figures.
- A recent diplomatic incident where Moscow claimed an Israeli “mob” (settlers) attacked a Russian diplomatic vehicle in the West Bank in July 2025, leading to tensions between Russia and Israel.
- Decades of connections: Authors like Craig Unger have detailed how, over decades, Russian mafia figures and then oligarchs allegedly bought hundreds of luxury apartments in Trump properties to launder money, creating a network of relationships.
- “State actors”: Some analysis suggests that unlike the American Mafia, Russian organized crime figures often work as de facto state actors, cooperating with and at the behest of the Russian government under Vladimir Putin.
- Recent Commentary: This narrative continues to be a subject of discussion, with recent opinion pieces describing Trump’s leadership style as “mafia-like” or referring to him as a “mob boss with a messiah complex”.
- The Incident: On July 30, near the Givat Assaf settlement in the West Bank, a vehicle carrying accredited Russian diplomats was reportedly attacked by Israeli settlers (described as a “mob” in some news headlines).
- Russian Accusations: Russia formally protested the incident, claiming that Israeli forces stood by and did not intervene to protect the diplomatic car.
- Tensions: The event led to “hectic calls” between Putin and Netanyahu, with the Russian President reportedly warning the Israeli Prime Minister. This incident, along with Israel’s ongoing military actions in Gaza and Syria, has contributed to “frayed” relations between Trump, Putin, and Netanyahu during Trump’s second term in 2025.
- Trump and Putin: After a promising summit in Alaska in August 2025, the relationship quickly soured as Putin showed no interest in ending the war in Ukraine. Trump has expressed disappointment with Putin’s actions.
- Trump and Netanyahu: Their relationship has been “tumultuous” in 2025. Trump has publicly broken with Netanyahu over the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and has urged Israel’s President to grant Netanyahu a pardon in his long-running corruption trial.
- Putin and Netanyahu: While they previously had a close working relationship, tensions have increased due to recent Israeli actions in the Middle East and the diplomatic incident with the Russian diplomatic vehicle.
