  • Marwan Bishara
    Marwan Bishara “Once again, the US's veto demonstrated a policy of it's my way or the highway. Palestine could only be a country the way the United States sees it, or Israel sees it, only at the time that it's suitable to the United States and within the geopolitics and the global interest of the United States. The US is sacrificing the freedom of Palestinian people for egotistical and narrow interests of the United States and Israel.” 15 hours ago

    Brad Setser “Tariffs are currently 7.5 percent on electric vehicle battery packs but 25 percent on the components of those packs. The lower rate should be raised. China had long steered its subsidies to companies that manufacture and source their products in China - and sometimes had required those companies to be Chinese-owned. In order to build up industrial sectors where China has a first-mover advantage and now a cost advantage you need to have an insulated market - and to use some of the tools that China has already used.” 18 hours ago

    Lael Brainard “China's policy-driven overcapacity poses a serious risk to the future of the American steel and aluminum industry. China cannot export its way to recovery. China is simply too big to play by its own rules.” 18 hours ago

    Ruth Harris “War is a physical human endeavour and you have a force that is utterly exhausted, not slightly fatigued. It's a heavily attritional war. It's messy, it's bloody, there is nothing glorious about this. The glide bombs that are currently used are hugely devastating. They're cheap to make. They are pretty damn accurate and they can be adapted really quickly. They are fast and [the Russians] have a lot of them. This is a war of mass cost and pace. That's the operational factor on the ground.” 23 hours ago

“I don't think that any economic assistance from Russia could be more than symbolic. But North Korea needs technological help from Russia. North Korea's five major weapons projects are all based on original Russian technology.”

“You have to keep in mind that if they only care about defending themselves, they don't need tactical nukes. Their existing nuclear forces are sufficiently large to provide absolutely reliable deterrence, so what they are doing now is for offensive operations - for attack. Not now. Maybe many decades later, maybe never. But they have passed the defensive stage and they are actually now getting weapons whose only conceivable task is to be used as tools for aggression.”

“In terms of developing new weapons, there is no such concept of 100-percent completion in development, which means upgrades and tests of the weapons should be followed. … As North Korea's leader Kim Jong-un has said that the country is developing many different weapons, including tactical nuclear weapons and a nuclear-powered submarine, the country is expected to continue missile and other weapons tests. North Korea is expected to stick to its existing stance that they will keep going on their way in developing weapons for the country's self-defense, and their weapons tests are not aimed at provoking other neighboring countries.”

“Pyongyang is looking to highlight their presence on the world stage and their military capabilities. They are buying time this way and trying to leverage as much as they can from Seoul's proposal to declare the official end of the Korean War, as well as Washington's offer to talk without any preconditions.”
