  • 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.” 19 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.” 19 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 think we can safely say we'll see Emirati troops abroad in other hotspots, and while MBZ [Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan] certainly has learned lessons from Yemen, Syria, and Libya, he's not concluded that force by itself is discredited. But he's also learned a lot about the risk of being part of any one side or power bloc - for the UAE long term, it's best to have as many good friends - even if that means having no great friends - as possible, as the world evolves into a multipolar environment where the UAE will be increasingly responsible for its own security.”

“Al-Assad coming to the UAE, shortly after the Gulf Arab country voted to abstain from a UN Security Council resolution condemning the Russian invasion of Ukraine last month, tells us that the Emiratis are very serious about asserting their autonomy from the United States. The leadership in Abu Dhabi is very confident that it can take steps that upset Washington, such as welcoming Bashar al-Assad to Dubai and Abu Dhabi, without having to pay a big price in terms of its relationship with the US.”

“Abu Dhabi seeks to conduct a flexible foreign policy in which its relationships are diversified beyond the UAE's Western partnerships. Looking ahead, it expects China, Russia and India to play more influential roles as rising global powers filling a void left by the Americans. Because the UAE sees Russia as a key partner, it has been carefully navigating the Ukraine conflict so as to avoid problems with Moscow that might harm their relationship just to please Washington.”

“The visit by President Recep Tayyip Erdogan to the UAE, which comes after the visit by Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan to the Turkish republic, opens a new, positive page in bilateral relations between the two countries and is in harmony with the UAE's efforts to build stronger communication and cooperation bridges that aim towards a stable, flourishing region.”

“There's a difficult dilemma facing the Emirati authorities now. They are increasingly under threat from the Houthis, but at the same time … we've had a pretty extensive military campaign in Yemen and rather than reduce the missile threats to the GCC states, what we've seen instead is an increase in that threat. If the UAE decides to target the Houthis more aggressively, that would be stoking tensions further and triggering a downwards spiral. It's going to have to be something that goes beyond just purely defensive military posture … It will have to involve diplomacy, efforts to increase the resilience of critical civilian and energy infrastructure in the country.”

“The attack may have been prompted by recent advances made by a UAE-backed militia in Yemen, but this is unlikely to be the only - or perhaps not even the main - reason. The attack against Abu Dhabi also served as a dire warning by Iran to the UAE. The United States has been pressuring the UAE to better enforce Iran sanctions as nuclear talks continue. Depending on how the JCPOA [Iran nuclear deal] talks play out and on the UAE's own behaviour, more such attacks may be carried out against the country.”

“It [the attack] totally undermines the UAE's reputation as a place of stability especially vis-a-vis tourism, finance, and trade, but crucially it also casts doubt on their ability to build a nuclear power station.”

“This attack brings home to the UAE that they were playing the game of a major power in the region. It made the Gulf country realise that they are, after all a small state with a lot of vulnerabilities. This [the incident] is the greatest damage to the reputation of the UAE because they have always portrayed themselves as a safe and secure country to do business. All their [Emirati] foreign policy adventures have brought home that they are quite vulnerable to unconventional and asymmetric threats from different groups they're fighting across the region. Despite claiming to have the most sophisticated air defences in the region, a drone from Yemen has landed at a strategic site in Abu Dhabi. This insecurity has been brought upon them by their own adventures … as unfinished wars now come back to haunt them.”

“Expo 2020 is yet another opportunity for the UAE to falsely present itself on the world stage as open, tolerant, and rights-respecting while shutting down the space for politics, public discourse, and activism.”

“The potential U.S.-Iran detente, the energy transition, and competition in non-oil diversification makes for a particularly challenging period of divergence [between United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia] this time round.”

“[Muslims] have to listen carefully to what Macron said in his speech. He doesn’t want to isolate Muslims in the West, and he is totally right. The French state has the right to search for ways to achieve this in parallel with combating extremism and societal closure.”

“The decision sends a clear message that the UAE is committed to its decision to normalize relations with Israel. It does also raise questions about possible repercussions for anyone in the country calling for the boycott of Israeli goods, now that doing so contradicts the state policy.”

“It is absolutely fundamental to discard the polarised lenses and partisanship when discussing the UAE announcement of open ties with Israel. The problem is deeper than just the UAE. A holistic approach to the topic reveals that this latest development is the culmination of decades of Gulf-wide taboo breaking from Qatar embracing Israel and Al-Udeid, Bahrain hosting Kushner to present his Deal of the Century, Oman receiving Netanyahu to threaten UAE, and UAE brokering meetings for Netanyahu with Sudan's AbdulFattah Burhan. Otherwise they are bound by geostrategic realities to cooperate with their larger neighbours whether they be Saudi Arabia, Egypt, or Iran.”

“It’s not really a race but a mission for humanity. I think it’s more of a friendly competition. It is good always to compete with others and now the UAE is the first Arabic country that sent a spacecraft to Mars. Space is an area where all countries work together. Competition is good but in the end, it’s all about collaboration and working together,”
