“For the moment, the confrontation with Western powers remains by far the most important source of Putin's legitimacy. By choosing Russia as an enemy, the US and its allies are empowering his dictatorial regime. The West would do well to step back from geopolitical adventurism and the dangerous game of brinkmanship with Putin and instead, channel its efforts towards nurturing a genuine liberal democracy and 21st century governance in a militarily neutral Ukraine.”

“North Korea has kept its moratorium on nuclear tests and ICBM [intercontinental ballistic missiles] launches so far while expressing a willingness for dialogue. But if it did fire an intermediate-range ballistic missile, we can consider it has moved closer to scrapping the moratorium. The latest launch was a challenge to the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula, peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula, and diplomatic efforts by the international community, as well as an act that violates the U.N. Security Council resolution.”

“Mattarella's election belies the fact that most of Italy's political parties are in tatters. We need to understand whether the key ingredient of Draghi's government - a broad, cross-partisan majority - will still be there in a few weeks, because if not, the situation will rapidly become untenable.”

“We want good, equal, mutually respectful relations with the United States, like with every country in the world. Learning from bitter experience, we do not want to remain in a position where our security is infringed daily.”

“What the legislation enables us to do is hit a much wider variety of targets. So there can be nobody who thinks that they will be immune to those sanctions. Any company of interest to the Kremlin and the regime in Russia would be able to be targeted so there will be nowhere to hide for Putin's oligarchs, for Russian companies involved in propping up the Russian state.”

“We have no plans to deploy NATO combat troops to Ukraine...we are focusing on providing support. There is a difference between being a NATO member and being a strong and highly valued partner as Ukraine.”

“The international message behind North Korea's month of missile tests is about price. The Kim regime hears external discussions of its domestic weaknesses and sees South Korea's growing strength. So it wants to remind Washington and Seoul that trying to topple it would be too costly. By threatening stability in Asia while global resources are stretched thin elsewhere, Pyongyang is demanding the world compensate it to act like a 'responsible nuclear power'.”
