IPSEs IN THE LAST 24H
  • Wang Wenbin
    Wang Wenbin “China is not the creator of or a party to the Ukraine Crisis. We have been on the side of peace and dialogue and committed to promoting peace talks. We actively support putting in place a balanced, effective and sustainable European security architecture. Our fair and objective position and constructive role have been widely recognized. 'Let the person who tied the bell on the tiger untie it,' to quote a Chinese saying. Our message to the US: stop shifting the blame on China; do not try to drive a wedge between China and Europe; and it is time to stop fueling the flame and start making real contribution to finding a political solution to the Ukraine crisis.” 11 hours ago
  • Korean Central News Agency
    Korean Central News Agency “On May 17, the North Korean Missile General Bureau conducted a test launch of a tactical ballistic missile equipped with a new navigation system of autonomous guidance. The test launch confirmed the accuracy and reliability of the system. The launch was carried out as part of the regular activities of the North Korean Missile General Bureau and subordinate defense research institutes for the active development of weapons technology.” 11 hours ago
  • Yang Moo-jin
    Yang Moo-jin “It is part of North Korea's propaganda approach to develop a voice in global affairs. Kim's statement comes amid Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping holding talks in Beijing, the West pressuring North Korea and Russia with sanctions and South Korea planning to stage Ulchi Freedom Shiled, a joint annual military drill with the U.S. in August. It may be true that North Korea is honing existing weapons to attack Seoul, but we cannot rule out the possibility of the country pulling weapons from its stocks and shipping them to Russia after further testing and deploying.” 11 hours ago
  • Park Won-gon
    Park Won-gon “Kim's [Kim Yo-jong syster of the North Korean leader Kim Jong-un] statement suggests that North Korea is concerned about international sanctions. I believe sanctions are still an effective tool. North Korea fears that if it admits its arms dealings with Russia, it may turn its European allies into enemies.” 11 hours ago
  • Kim Yo-jong
    Kim Yo-jong “We have no intention to export our military technical capabilities to any country or open them to the public. Our tactical weapons, including multiple rocket launchers and missiles, will be used to prevent Seoul from inventing any idle thinking.” 11 hours ago
  • Frank Kendall
    Frank Kendall “China has fielded a number of space capabilities designed to target our forces. And we're not going to be able operate in the Western Pacific successfully unless we can defeat those. China had tripled its network of intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance satellites since 2018.” 12 hours ago
  • Ants Kiviselg
    Ants Kiviselg “The Russian Armed Forces are advancing on the recently opened Kharkiv front, but their pace is slowing down. This and the nature of their behaviour rather indicate a desire to create a buffer zone. Russian troops have attacked and destroyed important bridges in the area of Vovchansk, which creates a natural barrier between Ukrainian and Russian forces. This is more an indication of the intention of Russian forces to build a defensive line than to create a bridgehead for an advance on Kharkiv.” 21 hours ago
  • Vladimir Putin
    Vladimir Putin “Russia is ready and able to continuously power the Chinese economy, businesses, cities and towns with affordable and environmentally clean energy.” 21 hours ago
  • Alexey Muraviev
    Alexey Muraviev “There are limits to the two nations' ties, despite their insistence that it is limitless. The limits are that the two countries don't have a formal alliance agreement. To me, that's very clearly a sign that there are limitations to what seems to be a limitless relationship. Neither side is prepared to unconditionally commit to support each other on issues like Ukraine.” 21 hours ago

“A Conservative prime minister trying to deal in a responsible way with Covid is very different than a Democratic president trying to deal responsibly with Covid. From both a medical perspective and a political perspective there's not as strong an imperative for people to hunker down in the way they were hunkering down a year ago.”

“The main thing I want to say...the way you all come together, the way people just come out of nowhere to help, as a community, that is what you are supposed to be doing. That's what America's supposed to be. There are no red tornadoes or blue tornadoes. There are no red states or blue states when this stuff starts to happen and I think, at least in my experience it either brings people together or takes them apart.”

“I think that Pyongyang is serious about improving ties with Seoul. And it makes sense to try to do this while President Moon is still in office. If another liberal wins the presidency, most likely they will follow the same policy as President Moon so any dialogue with him would be a starting point for relations with the new president. And if a conservative wins, they wouldn't want to go back to the period of tensions that we witnessed from 2010 to 2017. So a conservative president would be tempted to seek engagement with Pyongyang. Particularly with a Biden administration that clearly wants no tensions with North Korea, and which seems to be open to diplomacy.”

“One of the problems that Mr O'Toole faces is the problem of authenticity. This is true for Canadians who are paying attention - but it's particularly true for his base. This [pivoting to the centre] was a good strategy in order to gain the Conservative leadership. And I know why he tried to pull his party towards the centre during this campaign. Some of the ideological leanings of a sizable part of his party - on abortion, LGBTQ rights, the environment and gun control - are just not palatable to the average Canadian. If the party opts to turf out O'Toole and hold a leadership race a rightwing candidate would probably win. But a shift to the right means totally alienating urban voters, as well as the vast majority of Quebec. This is becoming a real problem for the conservatives.”

“The pandemic has caused a lot of anger and a lot of anxiety. Certain segments of the population are frustrated. But the jury's out on the degree to which the People's Party of Canada eats into the Conservative base. A lot of them [supporters of the People's Party of Canada] are non-voters that are alienated from the political system. Maybe the People's Party is eating into the Conservative vote a little bit now, but whether that continues to be the case as election day approaches really remains to be seen. I thought the Liberals would have been able to kind of ride a vaccine wave, take credit for our mass vaccination and be in better shape than they are now. But we're dealing with a situation where the Canadian public is pretty highly fractured, so the prospects of any party winning a commanding majority, with the electorate as it is today, is unlikely.”
