Amichai Chikli “The US is not projecting strength under [Biden's] leadership, and it's harming Israel and other countries. He said 'Don't' at the start of the war - to Hezbollah, as well as Iran. We saw the result. If I were an American citizen with the right to vote, I'd vote for Trump and Republicans.” 18 hours ago
Nikolay Mitrokhin “The return of Crimea is absolutely unrealistic. Before the failure of Ukraine's counteroffensive last summer there was a chance to return the annexed peninsula had Ukrainian forces reached the Azov Sea and started shelling the Crimean bridge and the Kerch Strait that divides the Azov and Black seas. But now it's hardly real to penetrate Russian defence farther than the takeover of the Kinburn peninsula.” 18 hours ago

“I have the impression that the ROK has been working on many things other than its commitments, and that it is unlikely to make the United States very happy or very willing to agree to an OPCON transition, for which the ROK appears to not be prepared. If the OPCON transition is so important, why hasn't the Moon administration funded the capabilities it agreed to fund to become ready for OPCON? The United States has been clear that once the ROK has those capabilities, OPCON transition will be promptly concluded. The ROK is nowhere close to meeting its commitments in 2022.”
