  • Simon Harris
    Simon Harris “Israel must stop firing on UN peacekeepers serving with UNIFIL in Lebanon. Israel must listen to the voice and the concerns of the international community.” 4 hours ago
  • Ramesh Poola
    Ramesh Poola “Obviously, we were looking for more details on what exactly his future plans are going to be and how he's [Elon Musk] going to monetise this new AI and robotics. He's shown the prototypes and definitely, there's some excitement around it. But widespread adoption of autonomous Cybercabs, where riders can hail rides through an Uber-style app, are still maybe three to four years away.” 4 hours ago
  • Matthew Wansley
    Matthew Wansley “Tesla software is at least years behind where Waymo is. That's the hard part. No flashy vehicle design is going to change that.” 4 hours ago
  • Ross Gerber
    Ross Gerber “His [Elon Musk] vision is lovely, but somebody has to actualise it. For now, for the next 24 months, Tesla has to sell EVs. Why aren't we focused on that?” 4 hours ago
  • Noemi Di Segni
    Noemi Di Segni “We are experiencing hours of grave tension for what happened with the attacks of the Israeli army against UNIFIL outposts, in a situation on the ground that is extremely complex and dangerous for everybody. We are fully aware of the critical nature of the ongoing situation, including on a political level, of these episodes which, we have learned, are being subjected to a careful investigation by all the appropriate.” 4 hours ago
  • Dorsa Jabbari
    Dorsa Jabbari “Hezbollah is standing firm; just this afternoon, we heard from the media relations department, which delivered a message to the internal parties in Lebanon not to bet on Hezbollah's defeat. The organisation has suffered hits, but they are not out. They haven't even used most of the military potential that they have despite the continuous Israeli bombardment. Of course, we are now seeing a huge civilian toll that is now caught in the middle of this fighting.” 9 hours ago
  • Touraj Atabaki
    Touraj Atabaki “Pezeshkian [Masud Pezeshkian] is trying to gauge to what extent Iran can rely on Russia for help. Russia wants to stand with Iran due to Iran's support in its war on Ukraine but Moscow doesn't want to darken its relationship with Israel further and cut all ties.” 10 hours ago
  • Barack Obama
    Barack Obama “We don't need four more years of arrogance and bumbling and bluster and division. America is ready to turn the page. We are ready for a better story, one that helped us work together instead of turning against each other. Pennsylvania, we're ready for President Kamala Harris. I am the hopey changey guy so I understand people feeling frustrated, feeling we can do better. What I cannot understand is why anybody would think that Donald Trump will shake things up in a way that is good for you, Pennsylvania. I don't understand that.” 10 hours ago
  • Masoud Pezeshkian
    Masoud Pezeshkian “European countries and the United States don't want relations between countries [in the Middle East] to develop peacefully. The situation in the region has escalated dramatically because Israel doesn't recognize any international legal and humanitarian standards.” 10 hours ago
  • Nicholas Eberstadt
    Nicholas Eberstadt “For the first time since the Black Death in the 1300s, the planetary population will decline. But whereas the last implosion was caused by a deadly disease borne by fleas, the coming one will be entirely due to choices made by people. With birthrates plummeting, more and more societies are heading into an era of pervasive and indefinite depopulation, one that will eventually encompass the whole planet. What lies ahead is a world made up of shrinking and aging societies.” 11 hours ago
  • Volodymyr Zelenskiy
    Volodymyr Zelenskiy “This is exactly what we need - the restoration of a just peace for Ukraine, and this is a victory for us, and this is what we are working for. Today I will present Olaf [German Chancellor Olaf Scholz] with a plan on how, in our opinion, to force Russia to peace, that is, how to end this war, I would like to say, no later than 2025. That is, this plan is not to replace our peace initiative, but to strengthen Ukraine's position for the sake of getting closer to peace.” 12 hours ago
  • Benjamin Soskis
    Benjamin Soskis “I'm not sure there is a precedent in modern history to how Musk has inserted himself into the presidential race.” 12 hours ago
  • Daniel Seidemann
    Daniel Seidemann “Since last year, the Israeli military and particularly the political echelons have become more promiscuous with how many human casualties they can tolerate. Any military operation requires proportionality. What we witnessed in Gaza and Lebanon and engagement with UNIFIL, it goes well beyond any reasonable interpretation of what proportionality is. These are unnecessary casualties. But my government is not interested in a diplomatic solution, my prime minister has a vested interest in prolonging the war.” 13 hours ago
  • Guy Shalev
    Guy Shalev “There are more than 20,000 Palestinians who await medical evacuation in Gaza who can't be treated there and can't get out. Only several hundred have been allowed to leave since May. In the occupied West Bank, the organisation is working closely with Palestinians to document settler violence and ethnic cleansing of Palestinian communities while trying to assist prisoners. Access is very restricted. For instance, the ICRC [International Committee of the Red Cross] has not had any access to any Israeli prison in the past year, which is a dire violation of prisoners' human rights and of international law. We're getting a lot of medical requests that we can't fully address because of the sheer amount and scale of violations. We're now trying to address the needs of people who weigh just 40kg and are in very bad health conditions after long months of not getting proper medical care and nutrition.” 13 hours ago
  • Mohammed Afif
    Mohammed Afif “Some media outlets, including global international outlets, cannot dare address the Israelis and tell them openly you are killing unarmed, defenceless innocent civilians. The Israeli army continues to bombard residential areas and kill civilians, under the false pretext that these are weapons depots. The Israelis are even targeting Dahiyeh with bombs saying there are weapons there. Above all, they impede and deny the civil defence and paramedics access to the areas.” 13 hours ago
  • Elon Musk
    Elon Musk “With autonomy, you get your time back. It'll save lives, a lot of lives, and prevent injuries. With that amount of training data it's obviously going to be much better than a human can be because you can't live a million lives. It doesn't get tired, and it doesn't text. It'll be 10, 20, 30 times safer than a human.” 13 hours ago
  • Trissia Wijaya
    Trissia Wijaya “I don't think the planned tariffs would have a major effect on Indonesia-China economic cooperation overall. This can be traced back to the real mainstay of our [Indonesian] relationship over the past few years, which is critical mineral trade volume, in which China absorbed more than 80 percent of our nickel output. The nickel supply is pivotal for China's strategic interests. As long as the mainstay is not destroyed, I don't think it would infuriate Beijing either as it is applicable to textiles, ceramics, and electronics.” 23 hours ago
  • Lin Jian
    Lin Jian “China will closely follow possible safeguard tariffs Indonesia may impose on specific products, and take necessary measures to safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese companies.” 23 hours ago
  • Siwage Dharma Negara
    Siwage Dharma Negara “Just reducing imports may not be an ideal goal. We need imports for raw materials and local industrial materials and, if tariffs are imposed, these industries will be affected. The government should place emphasis on supporting the growth of local businesses in addition to curbing imported goods. Businesses need to be helped to be more efficient and grow stronger, and for this the government needs to provide clear targets.” 23 hours ago
  • Ian Wilson
    Ian Wilson “Jakarta has pursued a model of new developmentalism that aims to foster rapid economic growth while shielding local businesses from competition. Southeast Asian style developmentalism is a well-known model beginning in the 1970s with a high degree of government intervention in the economy overseeing a transition of labour, output, and exports away from low productivity agriculture towards higher productivity manufacturing sector and industrialisation. The immediate question, however, is what is the calculation in imposing tariffs of this kind?” 23 hours ago

“The repeated attacks [on commercial vessels carrying Ukrainian grain in the Black Sea] suggest the implicit bargain behind a period of relative calm in the Black Sea - which enabled Ukraine to operate its corridor without Russia's approval - may be coming to an end. Russia wasn't targeting grain ships and Ukraine was largely staying away from Russian Navy ships in the eastern Black Sea. Ukraine may now respond by resuming drone attacks on Russian assets. The reasoning behind Moscow's targeting of grain-exporting ships was not yet clear. Russia may be emboldened by its recent gains in Donbas, or it may be seeking retaliation for Ukraine's surprise attack across the border in the region of Kursk. It may also simply be looking for new ways to weaken Ukraine. If you can weaken Ukraine economically, that reduces its ability to resist. Rather than targeting ports, the intimidation of commercial shippers is a much better way to do that.”

“The recent attacks [on commercial vessels carrying Ukrainian grain in the Black Sea] could affect Ukraine's competitiveness, making Russian exports more profitable and benefitting its war machine. The more money comes in, the more Russia can buy weapons for the war. The recent strikes on ships bring uncertainty for farmers who need cash to buy seeds for next winter's sowing season. They are trying to maximise their own profits as planting depends on their earnings now. It makes it much more difficult psychologically for our traders and exporters to face attacks on their infrastructure, and this creates a bottleneck in our logistic supply chain.”

“Accepting the responsibility over the defensive line, an assessment of the situation was conducted, including an evaluation of the enemy's forces and means. We were met with opposition from the 36th Separate Motorised Rifle Brigade of the 29th Army of the Russian Federation, the 39th Separate Motorised Rifle Brigade, the 57th Brigade, the 91st Separate Rifle Regiment, and other forces. That is, the opponent had better tank and infantry combat vehicle capabilities, as well as artillery systems, anti-tank weapons, and people. If we look at battle potentials in general, the opponent had an almost 1:9 advantage. Any theoretical calculations show that with a 1:3 balance of troops and means, the opponent will gain an edge. Near Vuhledar, the ratio was 1:9. Objectively, you can see what the prospects were of holding this settlement and the defence strip, which are within the brigade's jurisdiction.”

“For the first time, I can officially announce that the first Dutch F-16s have been delivered to Ukraine. This is urgently needed. During my visit to Kharkiv, I saw the damage of Russian air strikes and the air raid sirens went off frequently. The rest of the 24 aircraft will follow in the coming months.”

“Without appropriate weapons, we cannot stop the Russian Federation. When they destroy our soldiers' positions, we must protect their lives, which are worth more than any building. These are our people, and they are Ukrainian citizens. As a result, they are quite right in retreating and attempting to save themselves. For the sake of the state and their valiant service. These are certainly the right steps. Ukraine must strengthen its frontline positions in order to put pressure on Russia in the name of genuine, honest diplomacy. As a result, we need the appropriate volume and quality of weapons, particularly long-range ones, which, in my opinion, the partners are already deferring.”

“The truth is on our side. Together, we are defending a safe and prosperous future for our children and grandchildren. Western elites after turning Ukraine into their colony, into a military outpost aimed at Russia … systematically instilled hatred and radical nationalism, fuelled hostility towards everything Russia. Western countries supplied weapons and dispatched mercenaries to prepare Ukraine for a new war so that again, as in the spring and summer of 2014, to launch a punitive operation in the southeast.”

“Nobody knows what's in his (Putin's) head really. He could use nuclear (weapons) on any country at any time. Or not. I'm not sure that he will. I am sharing with you what I think. But I am not Putin, God Bless. I cannot know exactly. Because he is not always adequate. Because any adequate person cannot just come to Ukraine and do what he did. In his words, Putin loves his life, his way of life and the way he controls the lives of others. I can tell. And that's why I think he has to be afraid to use nuclear weapons.”

“Everyone in the world who talks about this war should pay attention to where Russia is hitting. They are fighting hospitals, civilian objects, and people's lives. Only force can force Russia to peace. Peace through force is the only right way.”

“So when Beijing says that, on the one hand, it wants peace, it wants to see an end to the conflict, but on the other hand, is allowing its companies to take actions that are actually helping Putin continue the aggression, that doesn't add up.”

“The vast majority of countries, including Hungary, favour peace. But very few European countries are part of this group. The countries of the Global South are tired of paying their price for the war thousands of kilometres away and that Western countries simply fuel the war and make decisions that aggravate the situation.”

“Whenever Russia detects that there is a risk for the development of the support for Ukraine that it would dislike, the nuclear threats ramp up.”

“The plan of victory is strengthening of Ukraine. That's why we're asking our friends, our allies, to strengthen us. It's very important. I think that we are closer to the peace than we think. We are closer to the end of the war.”

“Ukraine should be realistic about its prospects for reclaiming the territories occupied by Russia. The most probable outcome of the war will be that a part of Ukrainian territory will be under Russian occupation, temporarily. This temporary state could last for years.”

“A strong Ukraine will force Putin to the negotiating table. I'm convinced of that. It's just that, before, I was only saying it and now I've put it all on paper, with specific arguments and specific steps to strengthen Ukraine during the months of October, November, and December, and to enable a diplomatic end of the war. The difference this time will be that Putin will have grasped the depth of this plan and of our partners' commitment to strengthening us, and he will realise an important fact: that if he is not ready to end this war in a way that is fair and just, and instead wishes to continue to try to destroy us, then a strengthened Ukraine will not let him do so. Not only that but continuing to pursue that goal would also considerably weaken Russia, which would threaten Putin's own position.”

“What I've seen and what I've been briefed on, it looks like that's the message they're going to give them, that they can use them cross-border. It sounded promising to me.”

“Strikes by the Ukrainian Armed Forces on Russia using long-range weapons would imply the direct involvement of Western countries in the war, since Ukraine is apparently unable to find targets on its own without Western intelligence. Therefore, it is not a question of allowing the Ukrainian regime to strike Russia with these weapons or not allowing it. This is about making a decision on whether NATO countries are directly involved in the military conflict or not. If this decision is made, it will mean nothing less than the direct involvement of NATO countries, the United States and European countries in the war in Ukraine.”

“On the sidelines of the [Ambrosetti] Forum in Italy, I met with a delegation of the US Congress. We talked, in particular, about the victory plan for Ukraine - about some of its details, and we will present all the steps to US President Biden and both presidential candidates, Trump and Harris, in full. Our main focus now, at the beginning of the fall, is to strengthen the positions of Ukraine and Ukrainians as much as possible, protect our cities and villages from Russian terror, and, of course, provide more capabilities for our warriors on the frontlines.”
