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.” 6 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.” 9 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.” 10 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.” 14 hours ago
Ali Vaez “We are in a situation where basically everybody can claim victory. Iran can say that it took revenge, Israel can say it defeated the Iranian attack and the United States can say it successfully deterred Iran and defended Israel. If we get into another round of tit for tat, it can easily spiral out of control, not just for Iran and Israel, but for the rest of the region and the entire world.” 15 hours ago

“Surovikin commands an army that suffers from low morale and keeps losing its people and best equipment. So far, evidence suggests that the troops Russia has mobilized to replace the dead and injured are not receiving the kind of demanding training they need to succeed.”

“They were caught completely by surprise that the Ukrainian army resisted so fiercely and that they faced an actual army. People on the Russian side expected to face rag-tag militias when they invaded Ukraine, not well-drilled regular troops. I told them: 'Guys, that's a mistake'.”

“Even if there is a breakthrough and some form of an agreement is signed, its implementation is not guaranteed. I don't see how Russia would agree to withdraw its army until all conditions are met. [It is also questionable] how quickly Zelenskyy would be able to fulfil them, to what extent the Ukrainian elite would be ready to accept them, and the society as well, which now believes is winning the war.”

“The preservation and development of Ukraine's neutral status, a demilitarization of Ukraine, a whole range of issues related to the size of the Ukrainian armed forces are being discussed. Ukraine is proposing the Austrian, Swedish versions of a neutral demilitarized state, which is a state that has an army and a navy. All these issues are being discussed at the level of the leadership of the Russian and Ukrainian defense ministries. Ukraine holds neutrality at the moment. Neutrality is enshrined in Ukraine's Declaration of Sovereignty and was the condition under which Ukraine seceded from the Soviet Union. Certainly, the key issue for us is the status of Crimea and Donbass and some humanitarian issues including de-Nazification, the rights of Russian-speaking people and the status of the Russian language and so on.”

“Do not believe the apocalyptic predictions. Different capitals have different scenarios, but Ukraine is ready for any development. Today, Ukraine has a strong army, unprecedented international support, and Ukrainians' faith in their country. This enemy should be afraid of us, not us.”

“Burkina Faso's army is profoundly ill-equipped and unprepared for the war it's asked to fight. It's out of its depth. Its frustration with an equally out-of-its-depth government is understandable. Regrettably, this [rebellion] is unlikely to improve anything.”

“Unfortunately, Ukraine needs to be objective at this stage. There are not sufficient military resources for repelling a full-scale attack by Russia if it begins without the support of Western forces. [After initial Russian airstrikes and rocket attacks aimed at ammunition depots and trench-bound troops] Very quickly the Ukrainian military would be incapacitated, its leadership unable to coordinate a defense and supply the front. After that responsibility would fall to frontline commanders to carry on the fight alone. They will hold up as long as there are bullets. They'll be able to use what they have in their hands, but believe me without delivery of reserves, there's not an army in the world that can hold out.”

“Abiy [Abiy Ahmed] is risking his life and he's also risking the lives of those who are going to be alongside himself. The calculation here from Abiy's administration is because … that many armed grounds are converging around Addis Ababa, he sees it fit as part of a psychological operation to inspire other Ethiopians to join the [national army] and fight this war and push back the Tigrayans. Ethiopia is a huge country; if it descends into anarchy then we are going have a huge problem of stability in the entire Horn of Africa.”

“They say that they want to see the army return to its barracks and have no role in governing the country and its politics. Mediation efforts to try to bridge the gap between Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok and the civilian coalition on the one side, and the army on the other side, are yet to produce any results.”

“The SPA [Sudanese Professionals Association] had called on civilians on Saturday evening to set up barricades in neighbourhoods and on main streets to encourage people, and to also reduce the number of people who would go to work on Sunday and Monday. The protesters keep saying that they don't want negotiations with the army. The army says they are not going to return back to October 24 when there was a civilian transitional government, rather they want to look ahead and form a new government. They say even if Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok does not lead that transitional government, they will appoint a new prime minister and appoint a new cabinet to lead the country until elections in July 2023.”
