Germany CRUSHES Zelensky's Taurus Dream| Merz to Arm Ukraine With This Long-Range Strike System

Germany has announced it will soon supply Ukraine with new long-range missile systems, but not the Taurus cruise missiles that Kyiv has long sought. Despite previous speculation, German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius confirmed that Taurus missiles—capable of striking targets up to 500 km away—will not be sent. Instead, Germany is providing Patriot air defense systems purchased from the U.S. Chancellor Friedrich Merz emphasized that diplomatic avenues with Russia are "exhausted" and vowed to counter what he called a “criminal regime.” #GermanyMissiles #UkraineMissiles #LongRangeMissiles #TaurusMissile #UkraineVsRussia #MissileStrike #WesternArmsUkraine #GermanySupportsUkraine #UkraineFiresBack #TaurusForUkraine #MissileAid #UkraineDefense #RussiaUkraineWar #USGermanyMissiles #MissileCrisis ~HT.410~PR.152~ED.346~GR.125~

Santa Monica Mall Shooting Rampage: Teens Injured, Cop Ambushed — Suspect Arrested After Wild Chase!

A quiet afternoon in Santa Monica turned into chaos as gunshots rang out at a popular shopping mall. A suspect—linked to a previous shooting involving a Waymo autonomous vehicle—allegedly shot two teenagers before ambushing a police officer during a foot chase.

Santa Monica Police Chief Ramon Batista said the evidence strongly links the man to both shootings. The suspect, described as being in his 30s, was considered armed and dangerous. The 3rd Street Promenade was evacuated, and the public was urged to avoid the area during the tense search. Mayor Lana Negrete praised the swift response of law enforcement and confirmed that the streets are now safe.
