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~

Erdoğan SHOVES Macron Aside From Turkish Flag | French President Appears Startled On Camera

During the NATO summit, Turkish President Erdoğan and French President Macron shared another tense and awkward moment. When Macron stood in front of the Turkish flag, Erdoğan subtly but firmly pulled him to his right side—causing visible discomfort. This follows a previous viral incident in Tirana where Erdoğan grabbed Macron’s finger during a handshake. Netizens are calling it a quiet power move from Erdoğan, adding to Macron’s recent streak of bizarre public moments—including a face-shove from his wife in Vietnam. Their uneasy diplomacy continues to stir global curiosity. #Erdogan #Macron #NATOSummit #ViralMoment #PoliticalTension #France #Turkey #FlagIncident #GlobalDiplomacy #PowerPlay #MacronAwkward #ErdoganMacron #ViralVideo #InternationalPolitics #Geopolitics #MacronInLimbo #ErdoğanVsMacron #TurkishPolitics #FrenchPolitics #SummitDrama #EuropeNews #TiranaSummit #PresidentialProtocol #AwkwardEncounter #MacronMeme #WorldLeaders #DiplomaticNews #NATO2025 #BodyLanguagePolitics #PoliticalViral Also Read PM Modi’s ‘Twitter’ Joke To Macron At G7 Summit Goes Viral — Watch The Candid Moment :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/pm-modi-s-twitter-joke-to-macron-at-g7-summit-goes-viral-watch-the-candid-moment-4184813.html?ref=DMDesc French President Macron Whispers Something In Italian PM Meloni's Ear, Her Eye Rolling Reaction Goes Viral :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/french-president-macron-whispers-something-in-italian-pm-meloni-ear-her-eye-rolling-reaction-goes-4184371.html?ref=DMDesc Shangri-La Dialogue: Macron Seeks New EU-Asia Alliance :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/shangri-la-dialogue-macron-seeks-new-eu-asia-alliance-4168599.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~ED.102~GR.122~

Macron BLASTS Trump over U.S Strikes on Iran Nuclear Facilities | ‘ILLEGAL & Violation of Int’l law’

French President Emmanuel Macron has publicly condemned U.S. airstrikes on Iran’s nuclear sites, saying they violate international law and undermine years of nuclear diplomacy. Macron stressed that while France opposes Iran’s nuclear ambitions, regime change must come from within—not by force. He also denounced the Israeli strike on Evin Prison, which endangered foreign nationals, including two French citizens. His rebuke signals a growing rift with Donald Trump, warning that military escalation could destabilize the region irreversibly. #MacronVsTrump #IranStrikes #USFranceTensions #NuclearDiplomacy #MiddleEastCrisis #TrumpIran #FranceCondemns #MacronSpeaks #EvinPrisonStrike #InternationalLaw #CeasefireCrisis #MacronWarning #Geopolitics #WorldNews #BreakingNews #FranceIran #MacronOnIran #IsraelIranWar #GlobalDiplomacy #NoToWar #MiddleEastPeace #TrumpUnderFire #FrenchForeignPolicy #MacronCondemnsStrikes #MacronStatement Also Read Swearing at the World Stage: Trump’s Anger Reveals the Limits of U.S. Mediation in the Israel-Iran Conflict :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/swearing-at-the-world-stage-trump-s-anger-reveals-the-limits-of-u-s-mediation-in-the-israel-iran-c-7781983.html?ref=DMDesc Trump to Israel: ‘DO NOT DROP THOSE BOMBS’ – Issues Blunt Warning After Ceasefire Breach :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-to-israel-do-not-drop-those-bombs-issues-blunt-warning-after-ceasefire-breach-7781905.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Expresses Frustration With Israel, Iran As Ceasefire Deal Teeters, Strikes Continue :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-expresses-frustration-with-israel-iran-as-ceasefire-deal-teeters-strikes-continue-7781867.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~ED.102~GR.124~

Brexit Damage CONTROL? Top Reasons Why UK Signed Major EU Pact At The Cost Of Scottish Fishermen

On May 19, the UK and EU signed a pivotal trade deal aimed at slashing post-Brexit barriers in food, drink, and small business exports. UK-EU trade has suffered since Brexit, with UK exports to the EU down 9% and imports down 18% since 2019. The new agreement reduces costly red tape and opens access to the EU’s £150 billion defense fund, offering a boost to UK aerospace. With U.S. tariffs on UK goods still in place, Britain is shifting focus back to the EU for stability and economic resilience. #UKTrade #BrexitDeal #EUTrade #UKEUDeal #PostBrexit #TradePolicy #Tariffs #UKExports #EUEconomy #USUKTrade #TrumpTariffs #BrexitImpact #UKEconomy #GlobalTrade #FoodExports #SmallBusiness #RedTape #DefenseFund #AerospaceExports #EconomicStrategy #TradeReset #TariffNews #WindsorFramework #IrelandTrade #EUUKRelations #BrexitUpdate #TradeWar #Protectionism #EUNews #UKNews Also Read EU Seeks to Boost Youth Mobility with UK Through New Agreement :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/eu-uk-youth-mobility-agreement-proposal-011-3803377.html?ref=DMDesc UK central bank scrambles as pound tanks, debt costs soar :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/uk-central-bank-scrambles-as-pound-tanks-debt-costs-soar-3467896.html?ref=DMDesc Truss, Biden seek to smooth Northern Ireland rift :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/truss-biden-seek-to-smooth-northern-ireland-rift-3464809.html?ref=DMDesc

Nigel Farage Warns: ‘End of UK Fishing Industry’ If Starmer’s EU Deal Stands | UK's U-Turn On BREXIT

Keir Starmer’s government is facing strong criticism after agreeing to a deal that allows EU fishing vessels continued access to UK waters for 12 more years. Scottish fishermen and politicians have slammed the agreement as a betrayal, calling it a “horror show” that endangers local communities and the fishing industry. The Scottish Government and opposition parties accuse UK ministers of ignoring devolved consent and sacrificing fishermen’s interests for political gain. Critics warn the deal risks harming coastal economies and undermines post-Brexit sovereignty. #KeirStarmer #FishingDeal #UKFishing #EUAccess #ScottishFishermen #Brexit #DevolvedNations #FisheryRights #ScottishGovernment #FishingIndustry #CoastalCommunities #UKPolitics #EUDeal #NigelFarage #LabourParty #ToryMSP #ScottishFisheries #PostBrexit #FishingQuota #MarinePolicy #UKWaters #FishingCrisis #SFF #PoliticalBacklash #FishingCommunities #StarmerControversy #UKGovt #TradeNegotiations #FishingRights #ScotlandPolitics #FishingDispute Also Read India, UK Sign Landmark Free Trade Agreement To Boost Bilateral Economic Ties :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/india-uk-sign-landmark-free-trade-agreement-to-boost-bilateral-economic-ties-4145069.html?ref=DMDesc UK PM Starmer Signals Break From Globalisation Amid Trump's Tariff War: ‘We Need Different Path' :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/uk-pm-starmer-signals-break-from-globalisation-amid-trumps-tariff-war-we-need-different-path-4116069.html?ref=DMDesc UK PM Starmer Embraces Zelensky At 10 Downing Street After Latter's Spat With Trump At White House | WATCH :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/uk-pm-starmer-embraces-zelensky-at-10-downing-street-after-spat-with-trump-at-white-house-watch-4084385.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.194~HT.408~
