Ex-Chancellor Merkel Slams Berlin’s Border Ban, Warns Europe’s Future at Risk Over Migration Policy
Former German Chancellor Angela Merkel has issued a stark warning following Germany's new border policies restricting asylum seekers.
Speaking at the Southwestern Press Forum, Merkel criticized the national crackdown led by Chancellor Friedrich Merz’s cabinet, warning it risks destroying the EU’s unity and the Schengen zone.
Calling for “European solutions,” she reaffirmed her support for EU-level migration policy.
The move marks a sharp break from her 2015 open-door stance and comes amid rising right-wing momentum, legal battles, and mounting pressure on German border forces.

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?

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. Here's what both sides are really saying.

In a dramatic analogy, U.S. President Donald Trump compared the Russia-Ukraine war to a children's brawl, saying it's better to “let them fight for a while” before peace is enforced. During his Oval Office meeting with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, Trump claimed acting like a referee, not a peacemaker. He also hinted at possible punitive actions against both nations if the war doesn't end, stating “it takes two to tango.” Merz, invoking D-Day history, urged Trump to use America’s power to stop Putin and bring peace to Europe.

In a landmark ruling, the Ninth Circuit Court upheld Donald Trump's decision to federalize 4,000 National Guard troops to quell immigration-related unrest in Los Angeles—rejecting California Governor Gavin Newsom’s challenge. The court ruled federal intervention was lawful due to obstruction of federal agents. With two Trump appointees and one Biden judge siding unanimously, the decision marks the first such presidential move since 1965. Trump hailed the verdict as a “big win,” blasting Newsom’s leadership and vowing to protect American cities.

U.S. President Donald Trump is considering the deployment of GBU-57 "bunker buster" bombs to destroy Iran’s deeply buried Fordow nuclear facility. Built 300 feet inside a mountain and protected by Iranian and Russian air defense systems, Fordow is nearly impenetrable—except to the GBU-57, which can Penetrate up to 200 feet underground. With Israel repeatedly requesting U.S. support, only the American B-2 stealth bomber is capable of delivering these massive 13,600 kg bombs, making U.S. involvement critical.
