  • Daoud Kuttab
    Daoud Kuttab “Throughout this Israeli war on Gaza, there hasn't been a warning publicly made by the US that Israel has heeded. It is indeed unclear to what extent such warnings are just optics of putting pressure on the Israeli government while continuing to support its every move. In this sense, one should take with a grain of salt reports that the Biden administration is holding off one shipment of weapons to Israel to pressure it into halting the full-scale invasion of Rafah.” 11 hours ago
  • Bernie Sanders
    Bernie Sanders “The US must now use ALL its leverage to demand an immediate ceasefire, the end of the attacks on Rafah, and the immediate delivery of massive amounts of humanitarian aid to people living in desperation. Our leverage is clear. Over the years, the United States has provided tens of billions of dollars in military aid to Israel.” 12 hours ago
  • Lloyd Austin
    Lloyd Austin “We've been very clear … from the very beginning that Israel shouldn't launch a major attack into Rafah without accounting for and protecting the civilians that are in that battlespace. We've not made a final determination on how to proceed with that shipment [of weapons].” 12 hours ago
  • Vuk Vuksanović
    Vuk Vuksanović “This visit [Xi Jinping in Belgrade] shows that Serbia has exchanged Russia for China went it comes to its main partner to bargain with the West. The full-scale invasion of Ukraine placed the Serbo-Russian relationship under close monitoring, so the government sees a benefit in playing the Chinese card more often now since it's deemed to be less provocative. The Balkans, and Serbia in particular, have become even more interesting for China now that one branch of the Belt and Road Initiative through Russia and Belarus was effectively cut off with the full-scale invasion of Ukraine.” 13 hours ago
  • Aleksandar Vucic
    Aleksandar Vucic “I told him [Xi Jinping] that as the leader of a great power he will be met with respect all over the world, but the reverence and love he encounters in our Serbia will not be found anywhere else. When it comes to cooperation with Beijing, the sky is the limit.” 13 hours ago
  • Catherine Russell
    Catherine Russell “Rafah is now a city of children, who have nowhere safe to go in Gaza. If large-scale military operations start, not only will children be at risk from the violence, but also from chaos and panic, and at a time where their physical and mental states are already weakened.” 17 hours ago
  • Hani Mahmoud
    Hani Mahmoud “You cannot create a safe zone in a war zone. Every time people move from one place to another, they are in search of basic needs and … necessities that are becoming very hard to find right now.” 17 hours ago

“If anyone dares to split Taiwan from China, the Chinese army will definitely not hesitate to start a war no matter the cost. The PLA [People's Liberation Army] would have no choice but to fight … and crush any attempt of Taiwan independence, safeguarding national sovereignty and territorial integrity.”

“A fundamental danger is that the political conflicts across the Taiwan Straits are intensifying with no sign of easing. The DPP [Democratic Progressive Party] authority is opposed to reunification and is seeking 'independence.' The strategic hostility of the US toward the Chinese mainland continues to rise. No matter how to evaluate a war, predictions that a war will eventually occur due to irreconcilable political conflicts or miscalculation are growing among the three sides [China - Taiwan - US].”

“The problem now is: The DPP [Democratic Progressive Party] authorities who dare not fight have now taken a long-term arrogant posture. They are gradually turning themselves into a political nail that the rising mainland must pull out. They claim they are at the forefront of the democracies to confront the mainland and are trying to serve as an outpost in the US' Indo-Pacific Strategy to contain China. They have also openly rejected the one China principle. Even their master, the US, has kept reiterating its commitment to the one-China principle, despite leaving some leeway to interpret the one China concept.”

“This is the true situation of the Taiwan Straits: First, the mainland doesn't want to fight a war. It has the goodwill to seek peaceful reunification and take war as the last resort. Second, the DPP [Democratic Progressive Party] dares not fight. They are bluffing, but know very well that the island's military forces are weak. They cannot withstand even a single blow. If there is a war, Taiwan will be surely defeated and collapse. Third, the US cannot fight. Should it not go into a war there, the Taiwan Straits will be Washington's leverage to contain the mainland. Otherwise, the Straits will become the grave of American soldiers. The US will suffer heavy losses instead of making gains.”

“With Taiwan's military personnel overstretched, how effective can the drill be if a group of burned out people participate? Due to huge disparities in power, Taiwan would not be able to resist the mainland if reunification is to be achieved by force. The drill is just for show.”

“Some people on the island of Taiwan hype that the island is different from Afghanistan, and that the US wouldn't leave them alone. Indeed, the island is different from Afghanistan. But the difference is the deeper hopelessness of a US victory if it gets itself involved in a cross-Straits war. Such a war would mean unthinkable costs for the US, in front of which the so-called special importance of Taiwan is nothing but wishful thinking of the DPP [Democratic Progressive Party] authorities and secessionist forces on the island. In the past two decades, the Kabul government cost over 2,000 US soldiers, $2 trillion, and the majesty of the US against the 'bandits.' But how many lives of US troops and how many dollars would the US sacrifice for the island of Taiwan? After all, the US acknowledges that 'there is but one China and that Taiwan is part of China.' Will the US get more moral support from within and from the West if it fights for the secession of Taiwan than it did during the Afghan War?”

“We are always fully prepared to deal with foreign forces' interference and Taiwan secessionist activities, and the goal is to safeguard the prospect of and push forward a peaceful reunification. If the 'Taiwan independence' forces insist on secessionism, the Chinese mainland's military will take all necessary measures to crush their attempts.”

“In a scenario of a military conflict, the PLA will likely surround the Taiwan island from all directions with large fleets, including aircraft carrier combat groups, and then attack possible reinforcements from the US and Japan. The island is very close to the Chinese mainland, meaning it is entirely covered by PLA strike range. The Friday exercise likely practiced this blockade, in which the PLA seized air superiority and control of sea from Taiwan's forces, and then defend against foreign interventions.”

“The military activities carried out by the Chinese People’s Liberation Army in the Taiwan Strait are necessary actions to address the current security situation in the Taiwan Strait and to safeguard national sovereignty and security. They are a solemn response to external interference and provocations by 'Taiwan independence' forces. We warn those 'Taiwan independence' elements: those who play with fire will burn themselves, and 'Taiwan independence' means war.”

“We must no longer hold any more illusions. The only way forward is for the mainland to fully prepare itself for war and to give Taiwan secessionist forces a decisive punishment at any time.”
