    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.” 26 minutes 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.” 49 minutes ago
  • Lloyd Austin
    Lloyd Austin “Whether it's munitions, whether it's vehicles, whether it's platforms, I'll just tell you that Ukraine right now is facing some dire battlefield conditions. We're already seeing things on the battlefield begin to shift a bit in Russia's favour. We are seeing them make incremental gains. We're seeing the Ukrainians be challenged in terms of holding the line.” 11 hours ago

“Very probably, Russian special services knew about [the attack] beforehand, and, possibly, they directed it pursuing political goals - to possibly discredit Ukraine, justify a new wave of mobilisation and tighten the screws in general. One just has to ask a question - who will benefit? I'm somewhat doubtful that ISIL has any serious interests in Russia. Putin, on the other hand, does gain from the attack. To become a victim of ISIL is to trigger sympathies worldwide. This is some sort of a public relations [trick] to improve [Russia's] international reputation. So, there's a whole bunch of benefits for Putin's regime. Of course, that cost the lives of his citizens - that he spits on.”

“They can't see this as isolated from what's happening across the region. The Iranians have not taken the statement from ISIL seriously. We've had the Interior Minister Ahmad Vahidi saying they're looking into it and that they will have their say in the coming hours.”

“We think that we need the foreign forces. Elimination of ISIS needs some more time. Inside Iraq we do not need combat forces. If there is a threat for Iraq, it is the penetration of the [ISIL] cells through Syria. I don't see this as an impossible matter, to see Iraq have a good relationship with Iran and the US.”

“Al-Qurayshi's death is a significant strike against ISIL, but would likely have a limited impact on its operations in the longer term. As fas as ISIL operations, they're still alive, they're still capable of conducting cross-border operations into Iraq and also have a presence in Syria. But I think there will be degradation initially with [ISIL], much like after al-Baghdadi's death.”

“A general leading the mutiny in one barracks presented six demands to the government on Sunday. One is hiring more troops to fight on the front lines against groups linked to ISIL [and] al-Qaeda. They also demand better care for the wounded and the families of those who lost their loved ones as well as better wages, training and forming of permanent battalions to deal with threats. [The mutineers' demands] fall short of asking President Kabore to resign, but in their latest statement they say that if their demands are not met, then they will ask for Kabore to step down. They feel that his leadership has not led to a safer Burkina Faso, but a country that has seen an increase in attacks.”

“I am deeply saddened by the news of the martyrdom of a group of Peshmerga heroes last night while they were providing assistance to their colleagues in the Kolajo region. The proliferation of ISIL's atrocities is a new and terrifying message, and brings a serious threat to the region. There is, therefore, an urgent need for greater cooperation and coordination between the Peshmerga and the Iraqi army with the support of the international allied forces.”

“It [rocket attack northwest of the main airport in Kabul] comes at a time of increasing tension here, the closer we get to this evacuation deadline. What does seem clear though is that the Taliban is struggling with what many analysts say could be an increasing threat from ISIL in this country, and seem to be heavily reliant on the Americans - American air power at least - to keep that threat at bay. And of course that has huge implications for when the last of the NATO forces, the Americans leave in what we believe will be in the next 48 hours.”

“ISIL still has access to tens of millions of dollars and will likely continue to rebuild its network throughout Iraq and Syria. [Its] primary goal at the moment is to have its affiliates maintain momentum until it can sufficiently rebuild its core in the Levant. [ISIL] affiliates in sub-Saharan Africa and now Afghanistan will have the opportunity to make strides in the coming year.”

“The end-game of ISKP [Islamic State Khorasan Province], or ISIL in general wherever it operates, doesn't have to be an immediate strategic goal. They carry out these operations with the intention of causing as much carnage as possible for the purpose of showing that they are still around, that they are still a threat. Their modus operandi is very similar to ISIL in Iraq and Syria.”

“Indeed, despite the many fundamental differences between the situations in Iraq and Afghanistan, military failures of both states were caused by the same three factors. First, the United States sought to impose the rigid, hierarchical American military doctrine on both armies, without considering the differences in the Afghan and Iraqi cultural contexts. Second, these enfeebled armies had to face off against either ISIL or the Taliban - violent non-state actors which possess a stronger “asabiyya” (group solidarity) than them. Third, there were weak leaders both in Kabul and Baghdad - former Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki in Iraq and recently departed President Ashraf Ghani in Afghanistan - resulting in ineffective administrations and faltering governance. Alongside the US, these leaders allowed networks of patronage and corruption to take root in their countries' militaries during their respective rebuilding processes, enabling the eventual success of ISIL and the Taliban.”
