  • Rina Shah
    Rina Shah “Protests in US universities are a display of democracy in action, a welcome sight in an election year marked by concerns of voter apathy chiefly due to Israel's war on Gaza. So when I see a movement like this of students taking peaceful, non-violent action and expressing their concern about the US government backing of Israel, of where our tax money is going, I think that's extremely healthy. These students are out there concerned about America's role in backing Benjamin Netanyahu. On the one hand, we are supplying weapons and funds to do what he wants to do in Gaza, while on the other we are sending humanitarian aid to Gaza. This is the hypocrisy these students are concerned about.” 9 hours ago
  • Thomas Friedman
    Thomas Friedman “But revenge is not a strategy. It is pure insanity that Israel is now more than six months into this war and the Israeli military leadership - and virtually the entire political class - has allowed Netanyahu to continue to pursue a 'total victory' there, including probably soon plunging deep into Rafah, without any exit plan or Arab partner lined up to step in once the war ends. If Israel ends up with an indefinite occupation of both Gaza and the West Bank, it would be a toxic military, economic and moral overstretch that would delight Israel's most dangerous foe, Iran, and repel all its allies in the West and the Arab world.” 9 hours ago
  • Volodymyr Zelenskiy
    Volodymyr Zelenskiy “Of course, I'm grateful to all of our partners who have helped us with air defence: each air defence system and each air defence missile is literally saving lives. It's important that everything works out as quickly as possible: every new agreement with our partners to strengthen our air defence, every initiative from Ukraine's friends to help us, particularly with finding and supplying Patriot [anti-aircraft missile systems]. Ukraine needs at least seven [Patriot] systems. Our partners have these Patriots. Russian terrorists can see that unfortunately our partners aren't as determined to protect Europe from terror as they are to do so in the Middle East. But [our partners] can give us the air defence systems that we need. We mustn't waste time: we need to signal determination.” 13 hours ago
  • Antony Blinken
    Antony Blinken “I saw that Huawei just put out a new laptop that it boasted was AI capable, that uses an Intel chip. I think it demonstrates that what we're focused on is only the most sensitive technology that could pose a threat to our security. We're not focused on cutting off trade, or for that matter containing or holding back China.” 18 hours ago

“The problem is to actually be able to prevent terrorist attacks, you need to have a really good and efficient system of intelligence sharing and intelligence gathering. Trust is needed inside the home agency and with agencies of other countries, as is good coordination. That's where you have problems.”

“You can't do everything. You dial up the pressure on the locals and sometimes you don't get the intelligence you need on a potential terrorist attack. That's where they failed. It's possible they're overextended dealing with the war in Ukraine and dealing with political opposition. This one slipped through the cracks.”

“This is a strategic victory for Ukraine - of far greater significance than the defeat of the Russians in Kyiv in March. The counter-offensive showed the Ukrainians had the ability to impose losses on the Russians. But it's also a demonstration of their skills and combined arms warfare, and bringing the gear and training they've had over the last few months all together to take back an area of land that's far greater than the Russians have taken since April. It's very significant and it demonstrates the Ukrainians' capability with deception. It's an intelligence coup and it's a remarkable display of Russian ineptitude, particularly in the intelligence realm.”

“EU sanctions would have a cost for Europe but we have to be ready to pay the price, or we will have to pay a much higher price in the future. The EU will provide intelligence to Ukraine about Russian troop movements and EU countries are determined to increase their military support to Kyiv.”

“The military presence is aimed at threatening Poland and Lithuania westwards, and Ukraine's north. The message is that Russia is able to conduct an operation that could seize Kyiv. They're stretching our limited resources, preparing for a possible assault and conducting intelligence gathering to see what capabilities we employ and how we react. It sends the clear message that they have the goal, capability and political will to apply military force in Ukraine if the West don't agree to [President Vladimir] Putin's demands.”

“An honest assessment of the situation suggests that the chance of finding a diplomatic solution for de-escalation is still substantially higher than the threat of further escalation. Russia had been conducting large-scale troop rotations, manoeuvres and weapon deployments on a regular basis to ensure constant massive psychological pressure since massing forces at Ukraine's border last spring. For our intelligence service and our armed forces, this Russian activity comes as absolutely no surprise. Ukraine's Western backers received a significant amount of their intelligence about Russian activities from Kyiv. How long will such Russian activity last and for what purpose is it maintained? Only the Kremlin can know the exact answer to this question. "The task of both Ukraine and our partners is to be prepared for any scenario, and we are fulfilling this task 100%.”

“Ukraine will fight back, if necessary. Our intelligence is looking into all possible scenarios, including the worst one. It emphasizes that the likelihood of large-scale escalation by Russia exists. The most likely time we must be ready to stand against such an escalation will be the end of January. The better we work together with our [Western] partners, the less the threat of escalation will be. The way to avoid the escalation is to make the price of possible escalation unacceptable for the aggressor. Ukraine is most interested in the political and diplomatic settlement scenario.”

“Israel has greatly accelerated preparations for action against Iran's nuclear program. A significant chunk of the boost to the defense budget, as was recently agreed, was intended for this purpose. It's a very complicated job, with much more intelligence, much more operational capabilities, much more armaments. We're working on all these things.”

“The idea that the intelligence community can stay with the U.S. military leaving? I just don't see how that's possible. You're almost going to a pre-9/11 collection posture in Afghanistan, which didn't turn out so well.”

“I hope that at least this time – after the rich experience of Britain’s allies with investigations of interference, which later led to negative results and didn’t confirm anything – at least that there’ll be some documents devoid of unfounded accusations and insinuations. Russia has never interfered in the electoral processes of any country in the world: not in the United States, not in the United Kingdom, nor in other countries. We don’t do this ourselves and we don’t tolerate it when other countries try to interfere in our political affairs.”
