  • Amichai Chikli
    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
    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

“Certainly by historic standards, this is really an incredible night for the Democrats. There has not been a majority party in the White House and in the Congress that has done so well in the midterms. Even if the Democrats lose the House, and they appear to be on track to do that, [Republican] Speaker Kevin McCarthy's majority would be very narrow - and that would be a win for the Democrats.”

“We ended the longest war in US history, yet Congress just passed a $768 BILLION defense budget - more than the military budgets of the next 11 countries combined. Don't tell me we can't afford to fight poverty, cancel student debt, pass paid leave, and defeat the climate crisis.”

“The US is in the process of constantly clarifying its one-China policy, including some so-called Taiwan-related legislation passed in the Trump era. No matter what the White House says, Biden's remarks illustrate a US obsession with Taiwan on which his younger aides, including members of Congress, are not backing down... In some areas the adjustment may be positive, in others, however, it may be more negative. Biden is trying to convince himself of what to avoid, but at the same time he can't let go of this hyped-up obsession on certain issues. If this contradiction remains for a long term, there can only be one explanation: Biden wants to see a clash happen in the Taiwan Straits but doesn't want to take responsibility if that happens, which is extremely dangerous.”

“What that means [considerations of Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen who estimated that if Congress fails to act a historic debt default could occur around October 18] is that at that point, the US will no longer be able to borrow more money to pay its bills - that has never happened before in history. And economists are saying if that does happen, it could be disastrous, throwing the US economy into recession and echoing across global markets.”

“It is imperative that Congress address the debt limit. If not, our current estimate is that Treasury will likely exhaust its extraordinary measures by October 18. At that point, we expect Treasury would be left with very limited resources that would be depleted quickly. America would default for the first time in history. The full faith and credit of the United States would be impaired, and our country would likely face a financial crisis and economic recession as a result.”

“The Afghan imbroglio and the Aukus row betrayed a tin ear. Biden truly believes in alliances. But when the chips are down, like his predecessors he acts in America's self-interest, deaf to the consequences for others. Likewise at home, he truly believes in reform. But try as he will, he cannot drown out the reality of a divided nation or the pernicious, still potent legacy of Trump - who daily plots his downfall from the extra-large seat of his Florida golf buggy. Latest poll trends and the political dynamic in Washington point to a Republican takeover of Congress next year, the thwarting of much of Biden's agenda, and a failing, one-term presidency. This gloomy scenario may change. Hopefully it will. But the democratic world can only watch America's unfolding Lear-like drama and, fearing a recurring nightmare in 2024, mutter all-a-tremble: 'Please, not Trump again!'.”

“Yesterday's federal court ruling is deeply disappointing. While the court's order does not now affect current DACA [Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals] recipients, this decision nonetheless relegates hundreds of thousands of young immigrants to an uncertain future. But only Congress can ensure a permanent solution by granting a path to citizenship for Dreamers that will provide the certainty and stability that these young people need and deserve. It is my fervent hope that through reconciliation or other means, Congress will finally provide security to all Dreamers, who have lived too long in fear.”

“Freedom of speech doesn't exist for Muslim women in Congress. The benefit of the doubt doesn't exist for Muslim women in Congress. House Democratic leadership should be ashamed of its relentless, exclusive tone policing of Congresswomen of color.”

“Any country would respond to that, and we're committed to Israel's defence. At the same time, any arms sale is going to be done in full consultation with Congress, we're committed to that. And we want to make sure that that process works effectively.”

“I understand the president would like to send bigger checks to everybody. I think what he ought to do is sign this bill and then make the case. Congress can pass another bill. You don’t get everything you want, even if you are the president of the United States.”

“It is the day after Christmas, and millions of families don't know if they’ll be able to make ends meet because of President Donald Trump’s refusal to sign an economic relief bill approved by Congress with an overwhelming and bipartisan majority. This abdication of responsibility has devastating consequences. This bill is critical. It needs to be signed into law now. But it is also a first step and down payment on more action that we'll need to take early in the new year to revive the economy and contain the pandemic - including meeting the dire need for funding to distribute and administer the vaccine and to increase our testing capacity.”

“The President’s veto of the National Defense Authorization Act is an act of staggering recklessness that harms our troops, endangers our security and undermines the will of the bipartisan Congress.”

“If people are going back to work, if they’re optimistic, if they’re positive about the future, we could see a fantastic election: the president getting reelected with a big margin, Republicans winning both Houses of Congress. But I also think if on Election Day, people are angry and they’ve given up hope and they’re depressed, which is what Pelosi and Schumer want them to be, I think it could be a terrible election. I think we could lose the White House and both houses of Congress, that it could be a bloodbath of Watergate proportions.”
