  • 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.” 2 hours ago

    Connor Fiddler “Nearly half of the Indo-Pacific appropriations directly reinforce the submarine industrial base. While this investment will enhance deterrence in the Indo-Pacific, the immediate impact will be supporting the American economy.” 22 hours ago

“The Taliban themselves said that they have launched operations against Daesh in Kabul and other places. It means (Daesh) exists but it doesn't exist like before when it controlled some areas in Nangarhar. Its strategy has changed, which means they now pay attention to the cities.”

“It is clear and obvious that the war in Afghanistan did not end on the terms we wanted with the Taliban now in power in Kabul. My analysis was that an accelerated withdrawal, without meeting specific and necessary conditions, risks losing the substantial gains made in Afghanistan, damaging US worldwide credibility and could precipitate a general collapse of the NSF and the Afghan government, resulting in a complete Taliban takeover, or general civil war.”

“We are establishing ties (with Taliban officials), our embassy in Kabul is working quite actively on this. We have had such contacts for a long time and we will work further on them.”

“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.”

“You do get a sense this Saturday evening here in Kabul that this long, drawn-out, often chaotic and traumatic evacuation process [is] finally in the end game.”

“The Secretary General [António Guterres] is following with great concern the ongoing situation in Kabul and especially at the airport. He condemns this terrorist attack which killed and injured a number of civilians and extends his deep condolences to the families of those killed. He stands in solidarity and wishes a speedy recovery to those injured. This incident underscores the volatility of the situation on the ground in Afghanistan but also strengthens our resolve as we continue to deliver urgent assistance across the country in support of the Afghan people.”

“There will be no extension for the ongoing evacuation. We want them to evacuate their citizens, they have planes and the Kabul airport control is with them now, the U.S. should withdraw all its troops, people or contractors before the deadline. We are not in favor of Afghans to leave, we are not happy with departure of Afghans. The crowds have not been cleared outside the airport. We want the Americans to bring changes in their policy of encouraging Afghans to leave. We ask them to stop this process [stop taking Afghan experts out of Afghanistan].”

“We're absolutely still aiming towards the end of the month. The president's direction has been to complete this withdrawal, this evacuation and withdrawal, by the 31st of August. That is the direction that we are operating under and therefore, that is driving a lot of our plans.”

“A three-members committee has been set up in Kabul to reassure media. A member of the Cultural Commission, a member of the Union of Journalists and media outlets and a member of the Kabul Police Dept will participate as members. They will address media problems in Kabul.”

“Planes will be ready and waiting at the Kabul airport but they're unlikely to fill up entirely. But unless the Taliban shift their posture significantly - which is something the international community and Canada are working on - it's going to be very difficult to get many people out. We will get some certainly, but to get many people out, as many as we want, is going to be almost impossible in the coming weeks. The difficulty right now is personnel and the safety of getting them out," said Trudeau. It's been far fewer flights than people had hoped. It is an extremely difficult situation, but I can assure you that I and our ministers and our government is working extremely hard to ease all the barriers, whether they be around paperwork or bureaucracy, to make sure people are getting out of there as quickly as possible and to safety.”

“I saw firsthand our defensive lay down and the work our forces are doing to efficiently operate the airfield while ensuring the safe movement of civilians and diplomats who are leaving Kabul. U.S. military air traffic controllers and ground handlers are rapidly scaling up operations to ensure the smooth flow of military reinforcements to the airport and the evacuation of U.S. and partner civilians in coordination with our State Department colleagues. Currently, the airfield is secure and now open to civilian air traffic operating under visual flight rules. In meetings with Taliban senior leaders in Doha on Sunday, I cautioned them against interference in our evacuation, and made it clear to them that any attack would be met with overwhelming force in the defense of our forces.”

“I consider it a positive signal that the Taliban in Kabul are declaring and in practice showing their readiness to respect the opinion of others. In particular, they said that they are ready to discuss a government in which not only they but other Afghan representatives will also participate. We support the beginning of an inclusive national dialogue with the participation of all of Afghanistan's political, ethnic and religious groups.”

“It is certainly the case that the speed with which cities fell was much greater than anyone anticipated. At the end of the day, despite the fact that we spent 20 years and tens of billions of dollars to give the best equipment, the best training and the best capacity to the Afghan security forces, we could not give them the will and they ultimately decided that they would not fight for Kabul and they would not fight for the country.”

“Some people on the island of Taiwan hype that the island is different from Afghanistan, and that the US wouldn't leave them alone. Indeed, the island is different from Afghanistan. But the difference is the deeper hopelessness of a US victory if it gets itself involved in a cross-Straits war. Such a war would mean unthinkable costs for the US, in front of which the so-called special importance of Taiwan is nothing but wishful thinking of the DPP [Democratic Progressive Party] authorities and secessionist forces on the island. In the past two decades, the Kabul government cost over 2,000 US soldiers, $2 trillion, and the majesty of the US against the 'bandits.' But how many lives of US troops and how many dollars would the US sacrifice for the island of Taiwan? After all, the US acknowledges that 'there is but one China and that Taiwan is part of China.' Will the US get more moral support from within and from the West if it fights for the secession of Taiwan than it did during the Afghan War?”

“This [the evacuation of personnel from the US embassy in Kabul] is manifestly not Saigon. We went into Afghanistan 20 years ago with one mission in mind, and that was to deal with the people who attacked us on 9/11, and that mission has been successful.”

“The Taliban's progress is faster than expected. Previously, many observers worldwide expressed concern that the Taliban's military actions would cause a massive humanitarian crisis, but in fact, the Taliban's performance has not been bad so far. We didn't see massacres or women get abused, and most major cities were captured without a fight. There are some accusations against the Taliban, but we didn't see hard evidence yet. The US embassy's evacuation also didn't get interrupted or attacked even though the Taliban troops have already entered Kabul. All of this shows that the war won't end violently.”

“He's not in control anymore, and it's not about President Ghani [Ashraf Ghani] anymore. It's about making the transition as bloodlessly, orderly and as swiftly as possible. The fight is at the doors of Kabul. The reporting shows Kabul is being encircled. Time is not on the government's side.”
