Germany Prepares for World War III: Big Bunker Expansion, €10B Defense Push, Alarming 2029 Deadline

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? #Germany #Russia #WW3 #Bunker #CivilDefense #Berlin #NATO #MilitaryBuildUp #WorldNews #Geopolitics #GermanyVsRussia #WarPreparation #Bundeswehr #EuropeanDefense #ColdWar2 Also Read 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 Germany: Knife Attack At Train Station In Hamburg City, 12 Injured, 3 Critical :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/germany-knife-attack-at-train-station-in-hamburg-city-12-injured-3-critical-4162369.html?ref=DMDesc ~PR.274~ED.336~ED.102~

Elon Musk’s Dad PRAISES Putin in Moscow, Errol Musk Calls Putin ‘Impressive’, SLAMS U.S. Media

Errol Musk, father of billionaire Elon Musk, has sparked controversy by praising Russian President Vladimir Putin and defending his trip to Moscow for the Future Forum 2050. Despite warnings from family members, Musk said he admired Putin’s resilience and dismissed Western media portrayals of Russia as “complete nonsense.” The statement, widely reported by Russian state media, comes amid strained U.S.-Russia relations and has raised questions about the Musk family’s public image.
