‘READY TO KILL RUSSIANS!’ German Defence Min’s CHILLING THREAT | World War 3 soon? [Video]

‘READY TO KILL RUSSIANS!’ German Defence Min’s CHILLING THREAT | World War 3 soon?

German Defence Minister Boris Pistorius has issued a stark warning to Moscow, declaring German troops are “ready to Kill Russian soldiers” if Russia attacks any NATO member. Speaking in Lithuania, Pistorius emphasized Germany’s duty to defend NATO’s eastern flank and said the Bundeswehr is shifting from deterrence to combat readiness. Citing Russia as an existential threat, he called for increased NATO presence in Eastern Europe. Berlin’s new strategic posture reflects a major departure from post-WWII restraint amid fears of a full-scale NATO-Russia conflict. #GermanyVsRussia #BorisPistorius #NATO #EasternFlank #RussiaThreat #WW3Warning #Bundeswehr #Lithuania #Poland #Baltics #GermanMilitary #Putin #NATOAlliance #WarPreparedness #ColdWar2 #EuropeSecurity #RussiaAggression #GermanyDefence #NATOvsRussia #MilitaryEscalation #Vilnius #BreakingNews #NATODefense #GeopoliticalCrisis #BerlinWarning #PistoriusThreat #RussianAggression #NATOWarning #Zelenskyy #EasternEurope Also Read Pakistan Considering German Missile Shield After Chinese Systems Fail Against BrahMos During Op Sindoor :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/pakistan-considering-german-missile-shield-after-chinese-systems-fail-against-brahmos-during-op-sind-4178853.html?ref=DMDesc Russia May Attack THIS European Country After Ukraine :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/russia-may-attack-this-european-country-after-ukraine-4176043.html?ref=DMDesc Germany Reaffirms Strong Support for India in Combating Terrorism, Says FM Johann Wadephul :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/germany-supports-india-fight-against-terrorism-011-4175297.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~ED.346~GR.124~

Germany BETRAYS Ukraine | Denies supply of TAURUS & PATRIOT MISSILES | Putin Arm-twists Merz

Germany has officially denied Ukraine’s latest request for Taurus cruise missiles, citing NATO obligations and escalation concerns. Defense Minister Boris Pistorius confirmed the long-range system is “off the table” despite intensified Russian airstrikes. Berlin also ruled out sending additional Patriot systems due to depleted reserves. Moscow had warned that Taurus deliveries would destroy ties with Berlin. As Ukraine’s casualties mount and Western weapon supplies dwindle, fears grow of deeper NATO involvement and a potential escalation into a wider regional conflict. #GermanyUkraine #TaurusMissiles #PutinWarning #UkraineWar #NATO #BerlinMoscow #RussiaUkraineConflict #PatriotMissiles #Pistorius #UkraineCrisis #TaurusDenied #WesternWeapons #ProxyWar #KyivDefense #EscalationRisk #WarCasualties #GermanDefense #PutinThreat #RussiaNATO #MilitaryTensions #GermanyRefuses #UkraineAppeal #CSISReport #WiderConflict #GlobalSecurity #Geopolitics #BreakingNews #UkraineFrontline #MissilePolitics #UkraineUpdates Also Read US Will Send Patriot Missiles To Ukraine: Trump Takes U-Turn Over Arm Deliveries To Kyiv :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-will-send-patriot-missiles-to-ukraine-trump-takes-u-turn-over-arm-deliveries-to-kyiv-011-7800325.html?ref=DMDesc Pakistan Considering German Missile Shield After Chinese Systems Fail Against BrahMos During Op Sindoor :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/pakistan-considering-german-missile-shield-after-chinese-systems-fail-against-brahmos-during-op-sind-4178853.html?ref=DMDesc Russia May Attack THIS European Country After Ukraine :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/russia-may-attack-this-european-country-after-ukraine-4176043.html?ref=DMDesc ~GR.124~HT.408~ED.103~

The GRAND Tesla Entry Into India | Musk’s EV Giant Opens First Showroom in India at the KC, Mumbai

Tesla has officially entered India, launching its first showroom at Mumbai’s BKC with the Model Y on display. Priced at ₹61 lakh on-road, the Model Y marks Tesla’s push into India’s luxury EV space. Initially imported from Berlin, Tesla’s India debut has sparked praise and criticism—Donald Trump slammed the move as “unfair” due to U.S. export tariffs. While Indian officials welcome the launch, local automakers fear disruption. Tesla’s arrival may accelerate EV adoption and reshape India’s electric vehicle policy landscape. #TeslaIndia #ElonMusk #ModelYIndia #TeslaLaunch #BKCShowroom #EVIndia #TrumpVsTesla #ElectricVehicles #TeslaMumbai #TeslaIndia #TeslaExperienceCentre #LuxuryEV #MakeInIndia #IndianEVMarket #GigaBerlin #EVRevolution #TeslaNews #AutoIndustry #PolicyShift #TrumpSlamsTesla #BreakingNews #EVAdoption #India2030 #GlobalAutoNews #ElectricMobility #TeslaInAsia Also Read Tesla Model Y Launched In India: Price, Features, Variants, Colours, Deliveries & More :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/tesla-model-y-car-price-in-india-check-car-deliver-waiting-period-variants-features-colours-ot-7801577.html?ref=DMDesc Linda Yaccarino Resigns As CEO Of X After Two Transformative Years :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/linda-yaccarino-resigns-as-ceo-of-x-after-two-transformative-years-7796371.html?ref=DMDesc Elon Musk’s Starlink Cleared To Operate In India, Services To Begin Soon :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/elon-musk-s-starlink-cleared-to-operate-in-india-services-to-begin-soon-7796229.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~ED.103~GR.125~

Trump In Epstein Trouble: Obama Ready To KNOCK OUT Trump Ahead Of Midterms | Musk Snubs Trump On X [Video]

Trump In Epstein Trouble: Obama Ready To KNOCK OUT Trump Ahead Of Midterms | Musk Snubs Trump On X

Trump In Epstein Trouble: A major rift has appeared within the MAGA movement as supporters turn on President Donald Trump. The controversy ignited after Trump publicly defended Attorney General Pam Bondi, a move seen by many conservatives as a dismissal of concerns surrounding the recently unsealed Epstein files. This defense has triggered an unprecedented backlash from his own base. The fallout has been swift and visual. Influential conservative figures have condemned Trump's stance, and viral videos have spread across social media showing die-hard supporters burning their MAGA hats and other merchandise in protest. This public display of disillusionment signals a deep fracture within what was once Trump's most loyal demographic. As Trump scrambles to control the narrative with a 400-word post on Truth Social urging unity, even figures like Elon Musk have taken public jabs at him over the issue. Sensing a critical moment of weakness, the Democratic party is moving quickly to capitalize on the Republican infighting. Former President Barack Obama is set to return to the political frontline, headlining a major fundraiser in New Jersey this Friday alongside DNC Chair Ken Martin. This event, Obama's first since the 2024 election, is designed to rally the Democratic base and frame the GOP's internal conflict as a major liability ahead of the crucial 2026 midterm elections. This report from Oneindia News breaks down the timeline of the MAGA backlash, Trump's attempts at damage control, and the strategic moves being made by Barack Obama and the Democrats. Stay tuned for the latest updates on this developing story in US politics. #DonaldTrump #MAGA #USPolitics #BreakingNews #OneindiaNews #EpsteinFiles #Obama #PamBondi #LatestNews #Politics #TrumpInEpsteinTrouble Also Read Trump Imposes 35% Tariff On Canadian Goods; Threatens More In Case of Retaliation :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-imposes-35-tarifss-on-canadian-goods-threatens-more-in-case-of-retaliation-7797777.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Slaps 50% Tariff On Brazil Over 'Witch Hunt' Trial Against Bolsonaro :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-slaps-50-tariff-on-brazil-over-witch-hunt-trial-against-bolsonaro-011-7796631.html?ref=DMDesc US President Donald Trump Announces 25% Tariffs On Japan, South Korea :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-president-donald-trump-announces-25-tariffs-on-japan-south-korea-7794333.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~

‘X Is Threat To…’ France Launches CRIMINAL PROBE Into Musk’s X Over Hate Speech And Algorithm Bias [Video]

‘X Is Threat To…’ France Launches CRIMINAL PROBE Into Musk’s X Over Hate Speech And Algorithm Bias

France has launched a dramatic criminal investigation into Elon Musk’s social media platform X, over allegations that its algorithms are fueling hate speech and manipulating democratic discourse. Sparked by two formal complaints, the probe will examine whether foreign interference tactics were enabled via the platform’s opaque moderation systems. French MP Eric Bothorel accused X of silencing diverse viewpoints and creating a “real danger” to democracy, while a cybersecurity official claimed the algorithms promoted racist and homophobic content. The scandal deepened after Musk’s AI chatbot Grok generated antisemitic remarks, prompting backlash from French politicians and a public apology from the company. The French prosecutor confirmed executives at X could be held liable. Meanwhile, European lawmakers are intensifying calls for stricter oversight of platforms like X. Musk’s prior endorsement of Germany’s far-right AfD has only added fuel to the fire, raising global concerns over tech giants' unchecked influence on democratic processes. #France #ElonMusk #XPlatform #FreeSpeech #HateSpeech #AI #Grok #Misinformation #AlgorithmBias #TechNews #Macron #Cybersecurity #AfD #EuropeanPolitics #SocialMedia #MuskAI #DigitalRegulation #MediaManipulation #DemocracyThreat #Disinformation Also Read Linda Yaccarino Resigns As CEO Of X After Two Transformative Years :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/linda-yaccarino-resigns-as-ceo-of-x-after-two-transformative-years-7796371.html?ref=DMDesc Elon Musk’s Starlink Cleared To Operate In India, Services To Begin Soon :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/elon-musk-s-starlink-cleared-to-operate-in-india-services-to-begin-soon-7796229.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Calls Musk’s America Party Plan ‘Ridiculous’ And ‘Unworkable’ :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-calls-musk-s-america-party-plan-ridiculous-and-unworkable-7793443.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~ED.102~GR.124~
