UK YouTuber Miles Routledge stirred controversy on X with racist remarks about Indians and a suggestion to launch nuclear missiles. His posts went viral, attracting millions of views and widespread criticism.
British YouTuber Miles Routledge has provoked strong reactions on X (formerly Twitter) by making racist comments and joking about using nuclear bombs against India. In his posts, Routledge not only joked about using nuclear weapons against the country but also accused an anonymous troll of being Indian without any evidence.
Miles Routledge, who gained attention for being stranded in Afghanistan during the Taliban’s 2021 takeover, has recently stirred up controversy. On Tuesday, he posted a screenshot of a threatening message from an anonymous user and falsely claimed that the user was Indian.
This unfounded accusation, combined with his provocative comments, has sparked significant criticism and outrage online. The incident highlights the impact of spreading baseless claims and making inflammatory statements.

In his latest social media activity, Routledge shared a meme video featuring Joe Biden launching nuclear missiles from concealed US silos.
The video, which he posted with the caption, “When I become Prime Minister of England, I’ll open the nuclear silos as an explicit warning to any foreign power that interferes with British interests and affairs. I’m not talking huge incidents; I’m itching to launch and atomize entire nations over the smallest infraction.” has drawn widespread criticism.

Soon after, he made a controversial remark: “I might as well launch at India just for the heck of it!” This worsened the backlash.
Youtuber’s response to the troller’s comment:
Subsequently, Routledge posted a screenshot of a tweet from an anonymous X user, which he captioned with: “Saar I will see you soon saar.” He followed up with another response, making derogatory remarks: “Saar your mum after I do my shift at Uber screams that at night btw saar, please saar, harder saar, I spit on the bitch and all she says is thaank sou saar. I don’t shower saar, and women don’t talk to me saar. I work at Tim Hortons saar.“
Following the post, Routledge began receiving threatening messages from the troll. Believing the trolling account might be Indian, he responded with racist comments targeting India. He posted a screenshot of the chats with the troller captioning it as “Indian threatens to find me, it backfires lmao“.
After sharing the above screenshot, Miles Routledge faced criticism from another user for rage-baiting. In response, he defended his actions and expressed his negative views about India.
He justified his remarks by stating, “Believe it or not, I just don’t like India. Also, I can sense an Indian—he is Indian. If a man online suddenly talks about ducking your mother in the first response, he’s Indian. Many such cases.“
The YouTuber’s remarks have caused widespread outrage, prompting calls for accountability and stronger measures against hate speech on social media.
Routledge’s comments have renewed debate on online hate speech and the responsibility of social media platforms to control harmful content. Many people are questioning what more can be done to stop the spread of such toxic behavior online.
Despite facing significant backlash from the public, the YouTuber has not issued any apology or retracted his statements. Consequently, this has only added to the ongoing controversy.
