IPSEs IN THE LAST 24H
  • Steve Witkoff
    Steve Witkoff “The meeting was positive, upbeat, constructive. Everybody was there to get to the right outcome.” 23 hours ago
  • Marco Rubio
    Marco Rubio “Ending the war in Ukraine could unlock the door for incredible opportunities that exist to partner with the Russians geopolitically on issues of common interest and, frankly, economically on issues that hopefully will be good for the world and also improve our relations in the long term.” 23 hours ago
  • Sergey Lavrov
    Sergey Lavrov “We explained today that the deployment of any troops, any armed forces from NATO countries but under other flags, either the European Union or national flags, changes nothing in this context. For us, of course, this is unacceptable.” 23 hours ago
  • Marco Rubio
    Marco Rubio “Russia and the United States have agreed to restore their embassies in Moscow and Washington to previous staffing levels to facilitate continued diplomatic engagement. We will need active work of diplomatic missions capable of functioning normally to be able to continue these contacts.” 23 hours ago
  • Jana Puglierin
    Jana Puglierin “February 2022 destroyed our faith in a collective security order with Russia and showed us the dark side of our fundamental dependence on Russia and China in critical areas. February 2025 shows us that the Americans no longer feel responsible for European security - and that their interests are fundamentally different from ours.” 23 hours ago
  • Volodymyr Zelenskiy
    Volodymyr Zelenskiy “Ukraine, Europe in a broad sense - and this includes the European Union, Turkiye, and the UK - should be involved in conversations and the development of the necessary security guarantees with America regarding the fate of our part of the world.” 23 hours ago
  • Mariia Mezentseva
    Mariia Mezentseva “It's not yet very clear how this negotiating table will look. But defence and justice must be at the forefront of any solution to end the war, and the US, Europe and Ukraine must be on board. It's not Russia who can dictate the rules because they are the invaders. It has to be absolutely [reversed].” 23 hours ago

“We are sending Hamas a very clear message: the IDF does not tire. The more we fight, the stronger we become, gaining more experience, capabilities, professionalism, values, and determination. We are progressing with great intensity. The fact that you [troops in northern Gaza's Jabalia] are concluding three weeks here with approximately 1,000 terrorists killed and 1,000 terrorists captured is a significant achievement that deals Hamas a severe blow. We are providing the residents near the northern Gaza border with greater security and creating conditions for this security to endure, to not to be fleeting. Reaching an agreement is complex, but with the strength you are displaying here and the powerful way in which the IDF is fighting on seven fronts, in seven arenas, Israel is telling the entire Middle East - there is immense strength here, and incredible capability. From this position of power, we are supporting our civilians and soldiers who are held hostage and are prepared to fight with tremendous determination, as well as pay a price to bring them home. We are not stopping or slowing down; this is to bring back the hostages, to ensure security for the surrounding communities.”

“The election represents a decisive rejection by American voters of liberalism and the particular way that the understanding of a 'free society' has evolved since the 1980s. Donald Trump not only wants to roll back neoliberalism and woke liberalism, but is a major threat to classical liberalism itself.”

“Donald Trump has won the presidency, but I don't believe he will deliver on his promises. Like other self-interested autocrats, his remedies are designed to exploit problems instead of solving them, and he's surrounded by oligarchs who want to loot the system instead of reforming it. Mass deportation and tariffs are recipes for inflation. Tax cuts and deregulation will exacerbate inequality. America First impulses will fuel global conflict, technological disruption and climate conflagration. Mr. Trump is the new establishment in this country and globally, and we should emphasize that instead of painting him as an outlier or interloper.”

“Had the president [Joe Biden] gotten out sooner, there may have been other candidates in the race. The anticipation was that, if the president were to step aside, that there would be an open primary.”

“A Trump presidency is likely to prod Europe in to taking its own security more seriously, unable to depend on US support. While this might seem to be a downside for Moscow, in fact it is regarded positively. First of all, despite some overheated rhetoric in the West, Russia does not seem to have plans for a direct military confrontation with Nato. Secondly, the more spent on defence, the more pressure, it hopes, on those funds earmarked for Ukraine. Finally, rearmament is a slow process, and Putin's belief that democracies are inherently incapable of seeing beyond the electoral cycle or the day's news means that he presumes any such plans will never be brought fully to fruition.”

“We can't just start making Barbie dolls and Tonka trucks and Care Bears in the U.S. Not overnight, not in the next 12 months, and frankly speaking, never. I would consider sourcing from more factories outside China if Mr. Trump imposed a 60 percent tariff on Chinese products. However taking into account the costs of moving factory equipment, the higher overhead he would need to manage operations in multiple countries, and the higher costs and lower efficiency of manufacturing outside China, it all might be a wash. Moving out of China would pose a Niagara Falls-level waterfall of challenges. There will not be enough production capacity in Vietnam, Mexico or India for all the production that will be moving out of China. Finally, what's to say that China is the target this year, but Mr. Trump sits down with President Xi, and they have a really good time with each other? Mr. Trump could quickly move the target to Vietnam or India. You risk a lot more by upsetting a smooth supply chain and production base than by trying to run from a moving target.”

“The average American bought seven pairs of shoes per year, most of which were made overseas and already charged high tariffs when imported. The industry had partly moved out of China into countries like Vietnam in recent years. But shoe sellers are pretty concerned about kind of a Whac-a-Mole trade policy globally that we were going to be hit with additional tariffs coming out of Vietnam. As we head into a second Trump term, all eyes are kind of on what they plan to do, and then how that will obviously impact our costs, which then will impact our consumer.”

“The tariffs could lead to higher costs, potential delays and pressure for businesses to shift production closer to North American or into the United States. All industries would face unique challenges.”

“They're totally not ready. They have never engaged in major conflict. They don't have real battle experience. Pyongyang has adopted many of Russia's weapons systems offering some level of familiarity to North Korean troops. But the troops sent to Russia have also received more advanced technology. Those could all pose problems for North Korean troops, who don't really train with that equipment. Their training since arriving in Russia has likely been basic and in such a short time frame they cannot master the drones and the high-tech equipment. And that will leave the North Korean troops vulnerable to being easily defeated or killed.”

“If Donald Trump had won in 2020 in the United States, these two nightmarish years wouldn't have happened. There wouldn't have been a war. The situation on the front is obvious - there's been a military defeat. The Americans are going to pull out of this war.”

“If you want to make somebody iconic, try to throw them in jail. Try to bankrupt them. ... If you want to make somebody iconic, try to kill him. All of those things failed. They just made him [Donald Trump] bigger and more powerful as a political force. Every one of those things turbocharged his candidacy.”
