Lavrov SLAMS Macron, Merz Of Reviving ‘Nazi-Era Instincts’ In Bid To Conquer Europe Again

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. #Lavrov #Macron #Merz #RussiaEuropeTensions #Nazism #UkraineWar #GermanyPolitics #FranceNews #RussianFM #ConqueringEurope #RussianStatement #LavrovSpeech #RussiaVsWest #UkraineConflict #ModernNazism #RussianForeignMinistry #AntiWesternSentiment #RussianNarrative #EuropeanImperialism #LavrovMacronMerz ~HT.410~ED.102~GR.125~

Kremlin SLAMS Trump In A FIERY Response To His ‘Kid’s Brawl’ Comment On Russia-Ukraine War

In a stunning Oval Office remark, U.S. President Donald Trump compared the Russia-Ukraine war to “two kids fighting,” saying it might be better to let them brawl before stepping in. The Kremlin responded sharply, calling the war an "existential issue" tied to Russia’s national security and future. As German Chancellor Merz urged U.S. intervention, Trump signaled a more hands-off approach. The latest Trump-Putin exchange reveals deep global divisions and raises questions about America’s role in ending the war.

Trump’s $3.3t Tax Bill Faces Senate REVOLT As Renewable Cuts Trigger Backlash | Debt Panic Grows

President Donald Trump’s $3.3 trillion tax and spending bill has hit turbulence in the U.S. Senate. Senate Majority Leader John Thune is racing to meet Trump’s July 4 deadline, but faces internal GOP divisions. At least eight Republican senators oppose key parts of the bill, ranging from Medicaid cuts to renewable energy credit phaseouts. Some GOP factions demand deeper spending cuts, while others seek to protect healthcare and green energy. Meanwhile, markets are watching closely as the dollar dips and renewable energy stocks slide. Senators like Thom Tillis and Rand Paul have signaled likely opposition, placing final passage in jeopardy. Trump, watching closely, has lashed out at dissenters on social media. The bill, if passed, could reshape healthcare access for millions and eliminate major green energy incentives. Final voting may happen late Monday or early Tuesday, but only if Thune can negotiate a fragile consensus. #TrumpTaxBill #USSenate #GOPSplit #RenewableEnergy #GreenTaxCuts #DebtCeiling #HealthcareCuts #TrumpNews #JohnThune #RandPaul #ThomTillis #USPolitics #SenateVote #AmericanEconomy #BudgetDeficit #MedicaidCuts #EnergyPolicy #CongressWatch #TaxReform #BreakingNews ~GR.125~HT.408~

Chile PRESIDENTIAL Face-off | COMMUNIST Jeannette Jara to take-on Trump-backed FAR-RIGHT Candidate

Communist candidate Jeannette Jara has won Chile’s leftwing primary with over 60% of the vote, setting up a high-stakes presidential showdown against far-right frontrunner José Antonio Kast—often dubbed the “Chilean Trump.” Jara, backed by a united left, vows to raise taxes on the wealthy and boost job creation, while Kast leads polls with a tough-on-crime, anti-immigration platform. The race is sharply polarized, as Jara seeks to overcome President Boric’s low approval and rally progressive forces ahead of the November election. #ChileElection #JeannetteJara #JoseAntonioKast #ChileanTrump #ChilePolitics #LeftVsRight #CommunistCandidate #FarRight #PresidentialRace #Boric #CademPoll #ChileVotes #JaraVsKast #PoliticalShowdown #LatAmPolitics #BreakingNews #SouthAmerica #Elections2025 #ToughOnCrime #TaxTheRich #ImmigrationDebate #WorkersRights #ProgressivePlatform #PolarizedPolitics #JaraVictory ~ED.420~HT.408~

Trump's New Threat in New York? Mamdani Set to Win Mayor Race but with Fear of Federal Fund Cut

U.S. President Donald Trump has warned that New York City could lose over $100 million in federal funding if Democratic Socialist Zohran Mamdani becomes mayor. In a fiery Fox News interview, Trump labeled Mamdani a “pure communist” and said his election would be “inconceivable.” Mamdani, a rising progressive voice, has hit back, accusing Trump of using xenophobic and racially charged attacks to derail serious policy debate. The mayoral race is heating up as Mamdani promises to tax the wealthy and shift the burden off working-class New Yorkers. Meanwhile, former Governor Andrew Cuomo may re-enter the race as an independent, turning this into a high-stakes national battle. Is Trump using funding threats as political blackmail—or is Mamdani’s rise shaking the conservative establishment? #ZohranMamdani #DonaldTrump #NYCMayorRace #TrumpVsMamdani #NYCElections #FederalFunding #ProgressivePolitics #CommunistAccusation #AndrewCuomo #PoliticalThreats #GracieMansion #TaxTheRich #TrumpNews #USPolitics ~PR.274~HT.408~GR.125~

SHOCKING New Claims Emerge As Ukraine BLAMED For Moscow Crocus City Hall Massacre | 149 Killed [Video]

SHOCKING New Claims Emerge As Ukraine BLAMED For Moscow Crocus City Hall Massacre | 149 Killed

Suspects in the March 2024 Crocus City Hall massacre that killed 149 people have reportedly told Russian investigators that a Ukrainian state entity ordered the attack. According to interrogation transcripts cited by Russian media, the attackers — all Tajik nationals — said the assault was executed by ISIS-K but coordinated through a handler named "Saifullo" linked to Ukraine. The suspects were allegedly promised $13,000 each and instructed to flee to Kiev after the attack. They claimed their weapons came from Ukraine, with operational guidance originating from Türkiye and Afghanistan. Ukraine has denied any role in the incident, though it has previously admitted to sabotage inside Russian territory. The attack, which also injured over 600 people, marks one of the deadliest in Russia in recent memory. Questions persist around the true orchestrators of the massacre and whether foreign intelligence or proxy actors were involved. #MoscowAttack #CrocusCityHall #RussiaUkraine #ISISK #UkraineTerrorAllegation #RussiaNews #BreakingNews #Geopolitics #RussiaSecurity #Putin #UkraineSabotage #TerrorInRussia #RussianMedia #UkraineDenies #ProxyWar #IslamicState #CrisisInEurope #TajikSuspects #KievInvolvement #WarOnTerror ~HT.408~

Zelensky IMPOSES Sanctions On Iran, Aligns With EU To Punish ‘Internal Repression’ And Terror Links

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has announced Ukraine is now fully aligning with European Union sanctions on Iran. In a dramatic statement, Zelenskyy accused Iran of supporting external terror campaigns, engaging in brutal domestic repression, and forging a dangerous alliance with Russian President Vladimir Putin. The move marks Kyiv’s most aggressive stance against Tehran, extending Ukraine's sanctions policy beyond Russia to its geopolitical backers. Zelenskyy labeled the Iranian government “one of the most brutal regimes in the world” and said Ukraine would contribute to targeting Iranian individuals, companies, and entities involved in both weapons production and regional destabilization. He emphasized the global importance of sanctions against both Russia and its partners. The announcement comes as Iran and Russia deepen defense ties amid the ongoing Ukraine conflict. #Zelensky #UkraineIran #IranSanctions #EUAlignment #PutinIran #RussiaWar #KyivPolitics #IranRegime #SanctionsNow #UkraineNews #Geopolitics #VolodymyrZelensky #IranCrackdown #Tehran #PutinAllies #IranRussiaTies #EUforeignpolicy #UkraineWar #MiddleEastPolitics #IranianSanctions
