IPSEs IN THE LAST 24H
  • Steve Witkoff
    Steve Witkoff “The meeting was positive, upbeat, constructive. Everybody was there to get to the right outcome.” 22 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.” 22 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.” 22 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.” 22 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.” 22 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.” 22 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].” 22 hours ago

“Trump is very angry with all the people who were happy that he was defeated by Biden. And I think he really wants to make all those people pay, von der Leyen and Scholz and Macron and all the others. He's back, a bit like in a movie, Trump 2.”

“Biden can take credit for the recently announced ceasefire deal, as the provisions in it are the ones he pushed. But the idea that Biden's administration solved the issue is not correct. What I think what happened is that when [Biden] put [the deal] forward in May he was basically the lame-duck president. We did not know who was going to be elected. I think Netanyahu thought that given his previous relationship with Trump, when Trump came in, he could get even more aggressive. I think what surprised him was Trump, even now during the transition period, has sent somebody to work with Biden on getting the truce. [Trump] let it be clear to Netanyahu that he wanted this over as soon as he took office, and if Netanyahu didn't accept that, then he basically might consider whether he would continue to send him the same amount of aid that's being sent.”

“Biden deserves praise for continuing to push the talks. But Trump's threats to Hamas and his efforts to cajole Netanyahu deserve credit as well. The ironic reality is that at a time of heightened partisanship even over foreign policy, the deal represents how much more powerful and influential U.S. foreign policy can be when it's bipartisan.”

“People need to understand that he's [Donald Trump] not trying to give something to Putin or to the Russians. He's actually trying to save Ukraine and to save their sovereignty. And he's going to make sure that it's equitable and that it's fair. Biden's biggest mistake was refusing to talk to Vladimir Putin after 2022, while Trump is determined to do so. Trump will be able to propose an acceptable solution to Putin and Volodymyr Zelenskyy in the near term. I would like to set a goal on a personal and professional level. I would say let's set it at a hundred days.”

“I hope that we can get it over the line in the time that we have left, but if we don't, then the plan that President [Joe] Biden put forward for a ceasefire-hostage deal will be handed over to the incoming administration, and I believe that when we get that deal - and we'll get it - it'll be based on the plan that President Biden put before the world back in May.”

“Israel is using up these weapons at a very fast pace, as made obvious by the enormous death and destruction that's ongoing, and Biden is ready to resupply them. If he didn't do it, I'm sure the incoming Trump administration would do so. Not a single arms transfer has ever been blocked by Congress. So, there is unfortunately very little to stop it. At this point, the arms transfers will continue unabated. Outside the White House and Congress, there is far less support for arming Israel. [Biden] is doing this in the face of widespread opposition, not just in the international community, not just from human rights groups, but according to polls, a large majority of the American people.”

“I think, rather, Biden has suddenly displayed [a] big appetite for risk-taking after 2.5 years of being risk-averse. Now Putin may feel forced to react or Trump will take him to the cleaners.”

“Despite the histrionics in Moscow, this week's US move to allow limited strikes on Russian territory is unlikely to transform the battlefield or spark a world war. The scope for potential strikes is far too narrow, while Russia has already had more than enough time to move the most interesting targets well out of range. The real significance of Biden's green light lies in what it tells us about the diminishing impact of Vladimir Putin's red lines.”

“The outgoing administration in Washington will continue to shore up everything we're doing for Ukraine in the months before Trump assumes the presidency. President Biden fully intends to drive through the tape and use every day to continue to do what we have done these last four years, which is strengthen this alliance [NATO].”

“There has been a lot of soul searching. Democrats have been looking at when Biden got out of the race and whether there should have been a primary, but also about the issues that the party was focused on in the race. The Democratic Party and Kamala Harris were very much expecting the issue of reproductive rights and abortion rights to motivate women to the polls. The majority of women did support support Harris. But that was not enough to overtake Trump's lead and that was not what they predicted. There has been a lot of talk about the economy and how that was a big concern for so many people and that perhaps the Democrats should focus more on their messaging on that topic. But how the Harris campaign got their message out has also been a big point of discussion. The Republicans put Donald Trump on podcasts that were very popular with young men and used influencers on social media to get the word out. Democrats focused very much on traditional mainstream media.”

“The biggest onus of this loss is on President Biden. If he had stepped down in January instead of July, we may be in a very different place.”

“I would assume that Trump will seek to discontinue several key initiatives launched under Biden, and that could include the Nuclear Consultative Group (NCG). After all, the NCG may seem beneficial to South Korea but not to the U.S. from a 'Trumpian' conception of alliances.”

“I don't believe in that [a wave of retaliation by Trump]. I think there's a lot of theater around that more than there is real sort of retribution. I would anticipate a lot of volatility - personnel but also significant boomerangs on policy. Not boomerang from Biden-Harris but boomerang from himself. You'll have one position one day and another the next.”

“The coalition that elected them wanted them [Biden-Harris] to unite the country, and they failed to do so. Their failure has resulted in further disillusionment with our country's politics and empowered the Trump base to give him another narrow victory after setbacks in three consecutive general elections.”

“At the end of the day, anybody who doesn't think Hezbollah is going to fight for their position in Lebanon has got another thing coming. I just don't have faith that the government of Lebanon is going to get its stuff together and stand up to the militants. Biden administration officials mainly hope to stop the fighting in Lebanon before it escalates further. With less than three months left in Mr. Biden's term, and a fiendishly complex problem, they may have few other choices. I think the Biden administration understands the limits of trying to move the chess pieces in Lebanon.”

“Going into election day, both Kamala Harris and Donald Trump are nearly neck and neck in all seven swing states; North Carolina is one of them, with 16 electoral votes, up one from four years ago. Like many Southern states, it voted for Democrats for a century before swinging to the Republicans in the 1960s, but population shifts, including many people moving in from other states, have made it a swing state in recent elections. Barack Obama narrowly carried North Carolina in 2008 but lost it in 2012; since then, it has remained close, with Republicans generally having a small advantage. North Carolina was the only one of this year's swing states won by Donald Trump in 2020, but just by around 1.3%, so this time, North Carolina is very much at play as a crucial swing state. Kamala Harris doesn't need to win North Carolina, but any scenario in which she does makes her path to 270 electoral votes and the White House a lot easier. Trump can also get to 270 without North Carolina, but doing so will be very, very hard. Like so many other swing states, North Carolina is a story of a few large and heavily Democratic cities balanced against a vast rural and Republican hinterland. Democratic voters are mainly concentrated in the state capital, Raleigh, and the neighboring cities of Greensboro and High Point, as well as in Charlotte, the state's largest city. There's also a small but significant concentration in the west of the state around Asheville, while pretty much everywhere else is Republican red. Every election has a so-called October surprise; this time, it's Hurricane Helene, a devastating storm that caused more than 200 deaths and catastrophic damage across the southeastern United States, including Georgia and North Carolina. These are the communities [in the west of the state] battered by Hurricane Helene. It's unclear how Hurricane Helene will swing these elections, but it may affect the pace of the counting process. How the federal government, that is, Biden and Harris at the White House, and the state government respond to this disaster - and how they're perceived to respond-could be a key factor for the state's voters as they head to the polls.”

“With so much uncertainty, the best Taiwan can do for now is to brace for change. The biggest worry for [Taiwan] now is that maybe we cannot count on our first term experience with Trump because he's really unpredictable. In the case of a Harris win, and even if she follows most of Biden's policies, she will still have her own opinions. In her case, Taiwan has to be ready for the changes.”

“Harris always knew she would have to fight hard for the state of Wisconsin. Of the last six presidential races, four of them have been decided in Wisconsin by under 25,000 votes. After Harris replaced Biden as the Democratic presidential candidate in August, her poll numbers really shot up, and she opened up a lead - but Trump has since recovered lost ground. I suspect that on election night, we'll be talking about one of these candidates winning by a very small margin.”

“I don't think anyone would ever say that Trump is the most polished speaker, but his more recent speeches do seem to be more incoherent, and he's rambling even more so and he's had some pretty noticeable moments of confusion. When he was running against Biden, maybe it didn't stand out as much.”
