  • 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.” 1 minute 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.” 4 minutes 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.” 27 minutes 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.” 9 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.” 9 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.” 9 hours ago

“The High Representative needs to present a plan for solving the crisis, and the US, EU Member States need to fully support him in putting that plan into practice. The important thing here is not to give in to Dodik's [Milorad Dodik] salami-slicing tactics, but to respond to any escalation with credible threat of penalties - sanctions, asset freezes, travel bans.”

“Empty words only encourage Dodik [Milorad Dodik] and his regime to continue with their secessionist moves. The red line is moving down all the time. What was unimaginable for anyone to say, let alone do, in 2005, is completely normal today. In other words, Dodik is doing all this because he understands that the international community is not going to react properly.”

“Calls for secession and steps to weaken the whole state, especially from Republika Srpska and from Milorad Dodik, the Serbian member of the three-member presidency, are totally irresponsible and unacceptable.”

“We will not be able to accept the continuation of this irresponsible policy without taking action. Germany is the largest bilateral supporter of Bosnia and Herzegovina. But it is clear: we cannot and will not channel German taxpayers' money into an entity that is actively working to destroy Bosnia and Herzegovina as a whole state. Germany will also think about individual measures against those who question the territorial integrity of the country.”

“It requires a security response such as reinforcing EUFOR, which is deployed to ensure a safe and secure environment but has been shrinking and below deterrent capability for more than a decade. There's more than enough weaponry, and more than enough vulnerable people to allow something very bad to happen. The potential for miscalculation among the actors who have coercive power in Bosnia is very, very high. I think it is a very legitimate fear that unless this is addressed seriously with security tools in the immediate term - within days, weeks, not months - it is ever more likely that something bad will happen that not might be planned but will lead to something that will develop a dynamic of its own.”

“They are genocide survivors, mothers or seniors that live alone. I was called to meet with them and talk, but I have no words of consolation because I, myself, cannot handle what is happening in Bosnia. This is a difficult situation. There is a lot of talk, whispering and stories circulating, just like it was in the 1990s before the war broke out. Dodik [Milorad Dodik] is doing his job, he's not going back, but the international community which betrayed us in 1995 is trying to betray us again. They should have done something a long time ago … They all say: 'We're watching, we're observing, we're following' … but in reality, they've divided Bosnia.”

“The RS [Republika Srpska] entity assembly has officially adopted a proposal to create its own drug procurement agency; the first of its para-state offices following Dodik's 'pull out' from BiH [Bosnia and Herzegovina] institutions. Critical that BIH authorities & international community respond credibly to this putsch. This is secession in all but name. And he's testing the waters. If Dodik and his masters in Moscow and Belgrade feel the response here is weak - which I fear it is likely to be - they're going to escalate even further.”

“Mono-ethnic institutions like the ones Mr. Dodik plans to re-create are vehicles for genocide in the 1990s. Police, military, intelligence, and security services were at the centre of organised and systematic violence against non-Serbs. These institutions considered Bosniaks' existence an existential threat. If we fail to deter these threats, the ultimate price we will pay is another Srebrenica [genocide].”

“They [Republika Srpska] have spent over $20m on lobbying efforts against Bosnia. Croats have also spent millions on lobbying, while the Federation [entity] has spent $0 because clearly, they must feel that lobbying the US is not necessary. That is not a strategy and naive thinking at best. The Republika Srpska has a long-term plan and a strategy, and while people point fingers at them and say how they will not succeed – I do not think their goal is to have their objective realized today or tomorrow. It is a long term investment into the future.”

“The Republika Srpska could then secede if it has the support of Serbia and Russia and the acquiescence of Croatia. Croatia is in a position where it could decide the issue either way. If the Republika Srpska attempts to secede with the support of Croatia as well as Serbia, it might be difficult for the international community to prevent it. Bosnia’s situation is precarious… It is possible that, whatever [Dodik’s] strategy is, his constant talk of secession could eventually generate a momentum that he will not be able to control, and that he will become the prisoner of his own rhetoric.”
