Driver Plows Through Dozens of People at Crowded Christmas Market in Germany
Friday, 20 December 2024 A Christmas market in Germany erupted into chaos when a driver plowed through a crowd of people. The terrifying moment happened in Magdeburg -- a city between Hanover and Berlin -- with local reports saying it kicked off a few minutes after 7 PM…
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz pledges that Germany will respond "with the full force of the law" to the car-ramming attack on a crowded Christmas market that killed five people and injured more than 200 in the eastern city of Magdeburg. Scholz condems the attack as a "terrible act".
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has launched a scathing attack on French President Emmanuel Macron and German opposition leader Friedrich Merz, accusing them of attempting to revive Europe's imperialist past. Speaking at a diplomatic event, Lavrov warned that Western leaders were reverting to their “former instincts” of conquest and domination, drawing chilling comparisons between today’s political climate and Nazi-era atrocities.
He further stated that “German and Ukrainian Nazis are united by their attitudes toward those they want to enslave,” claiming that just as some “burned Jews,” others now “burn Russians.” Lavrov’s remarks come amid intensifying tensions between Moscow and the West over the war in Ukraine, NATO expansion, and growing European militarization.
The inflammatory comments are expected to draw condemnation from European capitals but are in line with Russia’s narrative of positioning itself as a bulwark against Western hegemony and what it calls modern-day fascism.

Germany is ramping up civil defense efforts like never before, with officials warning the country must be "ready for war" by 2029. From underground garages and metro tunnels turning into bunkers to emergency siren upgrades and wartime hospital prep, Berlin is preparing for the unthinkable—a direct confrontation with Russia. Civil defense chief Ralph Tiesler has called for at least €10 billion by the end of the decade, as military spending soars and public fear rises. But is this genuine preparedness or fear-fueled militarization? And how is Moscow responding?
