  • Sue Mi Terry
    Sue Mi Terry “Now is not the time to lift sanctions, either. Now, in fact, is the time to double down. If Biden wants to prevent North Korea from acting out, he needs to first provide the government with new incentives to talk-and that means new restrictions Washington can use as carrots. Biden, in other words, needs to take North Korean policy off autopilot and launch a proactive effort to deter Pyongyang. Otherwise, he risks encouraging an already emboldened Kim to stage a major provocation.” 14 hours ago

    Christopher Cavoli “Russians don't have the numbers necessary to do a strategic breakthrough. More to the point, they don't have the skill and capability to do it, to operate at the scale necessary to exploit any breakthrough to strategic advantage. They do have the ability to make local advances and they have done some of that.” 14 hours ago

“The developments were so fast that all people were taken by surprise. When we entered Kabul and it was not planned, we announced initially that we do not want to enter Kabul and we want to reach a political solution before entering Kabul and making a joint and inclusive government. But what happened was the security forces left, abandoned their places and we were forced to ask our forces to enter and take over security.”

“I consider it a positive signal that the Taliban in Kabul are declaring and in practice showing their readiness to respect the opinion of others. In particular, they said that they are ready to discuss a government in which not only they but other Afghan representatives will also participate. We support the beginning of an inclusive national dialogue with the participation of all of Afghanistan's political, ethnic and religious groups.”

“The Afghan crisis, in which the Islamic militants took full control of Afghanistan, is the result of the government's incompetence, the incapacitated military and the cold-hearted nationalism of the international community. Unless its partner has strong defense capabilities and strong will for self-reliance, the U.S. could leave the partner to pursue its own national interests. The Moon Jae-in government and the military should do their best to strengthen the Republic of Korea-U.S. alliance and maintain a strong military, using the Afghan situation as a turning point.”

“I wouldn't have let my 10-year-old son get away from this kind of pathetic blame-shifting. He should be less focused on trying to blame this on someone else than to solving the problem of making sure that we protect and defend American security. It's worth noting this did not happen on our watch. The Taliban takeover of Kabul will likely be inevitable because the Biden administration refused to adopt a deterrence model - unlike what the Trump administration had done. They have to understand that there's an administration with a backbone and a seriousness to execute on the things that matter and protect and defend America. Were I still the secretary of State, with the commander in chief like President Trump, the Taliban would have understood that there were real costs to pay if there were plots against the United States of America. Qassem Soleimani learned that lesson and the Taliban would have learned it as well.”
