  • Amichai Chikli
    Amichai Chikli “The US is not projecting strength under [Biden's] leadership, and it's harming Israel and other countries. He said 'Don't' at the start of the war - to Hezbollah, as well as Iran. We saw the result. If I were an American citizen with the right to vote, I'd vote for Trump and Republicans.” 15 hours ago
  • Nikolay Mitrokhin
    Nikolay Mitrokhin “The return of Crimea is absolutely unrealistic. Before the failure of Ukraine's counteroffensive last summer there was a chance to return the annexed peninsula had Ukrainian forces reached the Azov Sea and started shelling the Crimean bridge and the Kerch Strait that divides the Azov and Black seas. But now it's hardly real to penetrate Russian defence farther than the takeover of the Kinburn peninsula.” 16 hours ago

“Unless he begins testing them again, North Korea will never rise to the status of something that Joe Biden will use political capital to tackle. I do think at this point the North Koreans just threatened to test ICBMs [inter-continental ballistic missile] and nuclear weapons if they do not see any progress in their goals - getting Joe Biden's attention and the possibility of sanctions relief. The Biden administration will not respond to the specific threat beyond the "normal tough-sounding statements. However, if Kim [Kim Jong-un] does test an ICBM or nuclear weapon, that would violate Washington's unofficial red line that such tests mean more pressure on the DPRK.”

“Kim [Kim Jong-un] voluntarily placed the moratorium as an enticement to spur progress in negotiations with the U.S. When it became clear that he would not get his way in the negotiations, Kim had alluded to the possibility of lifting the moratorium. So it was a matter of when - not if - that the DPRK would lift its nuclear and missile moratorium.”

“Java has also long been overburdened by the fact that it is home for almost 60 percent of Indonesians and the centre of the country's economy, contributing more than half of Indonesia's gross domestic product. Relocating the capital to Kalimantan is aimed at spreading economic activities outside of Java as well as helping ensure more equitable economic development, especially for the Eastern Indonesia region.”

“The history of Bulgaria and Slav Macedonia until World War Two are one and the same. Where they differ is after 1940, when Bulgaria becomes a Nazi ally, and [what is now] North Macedonia was part of Tito's resistance to the Nazis. That's where the history diverges. So the history up to World War Two is an apple of discord. Historical continuity and roots in the Balkans have become huge issues. The Slav Macedonians cannot accept that their beginnings as a nation go back only as far back as the 1940s.”

“Both sides discussed some more pragmatic parts of the cross border cooperation - economic and diplomatic education, chambers of commerce. These are mostly run by the EU so they don't count. Everybody was avoiding the core issue, which is the recognition of the Macedonian language and identity.”

“The comments [of Joe Biden] in no way contribute to defusing the tension that has now arisen in Europe. Moreover, [they] can contribute to the destabilisation of the situation.”
