    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.” 15 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.

  • Yoav Gallant
    Yoav Gallant “While we conduct our important military actions, the defence establishment is simultaneously assessing a governing alternative to Hamas.

And how do you back away from that without losing face? You can't. You have to lose face at some level, and you have to hurt your allies that you've built up over 10 years.”
