  • Cheong Seong-chang
    Cheong Seong-chang “If Seoul chooses to resume anti-North broadcast via loudspeakers along the border, which Pyongyang dislikes as much as anti-Kim balloons, it could lead to limited armed conflict along border areas, such as in the West Sea.” 13 hours ago
  • Olaf Scholz
    Olaf Scholz “And because the threat from Russia will continue, we and other allies decided last year to deploy additional units to the Baltic states and to station an entire brigade there permanently in future. But this turnaround in security policy is necessary to show Russia: We are prepared to defend every square inch of NATO territory against attacks.” 19 hours ago
  • Dong Jun
    Dong Jun “We have always been open to exchanges and cooperation [with the US], but this requires both sides to meet each other halfway. We believe that we need more exchanges precisely because there are differences between our two militaries.” 19 hours ago
  • Yoav Gallant
    Yoav Gallant “While we conduct our important military actions, the defence establishment is simultaneously assessing a governing alternative to Hamas. We will isolate areas (in Gaza), remove Hamas operatives from these areas and introduce forces that will enable an alternative government to form - an alternative that threatens Hamas. We will not accept the rule of Hamas in Gaza at any stage in any process aimed at ending the war.” 19 hours ago
  • John Kirby
    John Kirby “This was an Israeli proposal. We have every expectation that if Hamas agrees to the proposal - as was transmitted to them, an Israeli proposal - then Israel would say yes.” 22 hours ago
  • Dong Jun
    Dong Jun “Those separatists recently made fanatical statements that show their betrayal of the Chinese nation and their ancestors. They will be nailed to the pillar of shame in history. The Chinese People's Liberation Army has always been an indestructible and powerful force in defence of the unification of the motherland, and it will act resolutely and forcefully at all times to curb the independence of Taiwan and to ensure that it never succeeds in its attempts. Whoever dares to split Taiwan from China will be crushed to pieces and suffer his own destruction.” 22 hours ago
  • Volodymyr Zelenskiy
    Volodymyr Zelenskiy “The United States has confirmed its attendance at a high level. We have a chance that the President [US President Joe Biden] will be there. As for China, they have not confirmed their attendance at any level. And the United States has contacts with some states and encourages them to attend the Peace Summit. China, unfortunately, on the contrary, is working to prevent countries from coming to the Peace Summit. There is a big difference between these two stances.” 22 hours ago

“Geostrategic competition does not by itself trigger rioting but it's the actions of these large nations as they curry sympathy with local actors - favoring some over others to pursue their own strategic objectives without pausing to consider what are already deep social and political undercurrents in the country - that have a destabilizing effect on social cohesion.”

“People might elect our members of parliament, but it is the logging companies, mining companies and other largely Asian-owned companies that underwrite the formation of government, influence the election of the Prime Minister, and keep ministers and government supporters under control after the elections. In return, if they want anything, or need special favours, they go directly to ministers and even the Prime Minister. Indigenous Solomon Island business owners do not have the same access to our leaders. The political governance arrangements in Solomon Islands are shaped by the cozy co-existence between foreign loggers, miners and businesses. The influence of non-state actors in shaping political undercurrents in Solomon Islands cannot be ignored.”
