    Emmanuel Macron “If the Russians were to break through the front lines, if there were a Ukrainian request [of sending ground troops to Ukraine], which is not the case today, we would legitimately have to ask ourselves this question.” 14 hours ago
  • David Cameron
    David Cameron “We will give three billion pounds every year for as long as is necessary. We've just really emptied all we can in terms of giving equipment. The aid package was the largest from the UK so far. Some of that (equipment) is actually arriving in Ukraine today, while I'm here. Ukraine has a right to use the weapons provided by London to strike targets inside Russia, and that it was up to Kyiv whether to do so. Ukraine has that right. Just as Russia is striking inside Ukraine, you can quite understand why Ukraine feels the need to make sure it's defending itself.” 14 hours ago

“To be effective in solving complex problems, interstate dispute, or war; you have diplomacy, you've got economics, you've got humanitarian support, and you have got the military. Canada has been active in diplomacy, by the way diplomacy obviously has failed because otherwise Putin wouldn't have attacked. Economic; the sanctions (are) valuable but they are not stopping the Russian battlegroups from grinding away and essentially killing Ukraine citizens. Humanitarian support is after the fact where you try to remediate the damage and the tragedy. We have done a good job at bringing refugees to Canada. I am told about 10,000 Ukrainians so far, some medical supplies. But on the military side we are lacking. For 5 years Canada did not allow Ukraine to acquire weapons from Canada. That was a conscious government decision because they were asking. And then when the push came to shove 3 days before the attack we send a couple boxes of weapons and then some old anti tank systems and then some other stuff and then now we've stopped again. As well we only have 600 troops in Europe right now and we are talking of a need of multiple thousands. So to demonstrate leadership we've got to do more. Not just in the first three areas I mentioned but also in the military side because if we don't deter Putin he may try something else.”

“Chinese President Xi Jinping thought as it pertains to the strengthening of the military and realize the centennial goals for the founding of the armed forces. Military capabilities must be enhanced in every aspect and risks in every sector and region be managed comprehensively so that the strategic capability to defend national sovereignty, security and interests is improved.”

“The military wants the streets to lose credibility, so that they can say that they're putting down a violent insurgency. They could then call the [street] violence whatever they want. They could stick a label of terrorism on it.”

“I believe that Elbadawi [Ibrahim Elbadawi] is a man of integrity, and that he would never accept to be a figurehead of an authority that is de facto controlled and directed by the military. The military now needs to do some serious soul searching. They can continue killing Sudanese people in the streets with battlefield guns, or act responsibly by stepping back and allowing a transitional government led by civilians to take over.”

“We must remind the Beijing authorities to not misjudge the situation and to prevent the internal expansion of 'military adventurism'. Authorities in Beijing should stop the spread of military adventurism within their ranks. The use of military means is absolutely not an option for resolving the differences between our two sides. To ease tension in the region, both Taipei and Beijing must work hard to take care of people's livelihoods and calm the hearts of the people in order to find peaceful solutions to problems together. We will hold fast to our sovereignty, uphold the values ​​of freedom and democracy, defend territorial sovereignty and national security, and maintain peace and stability in the Indo-Pacific region.”

“Since the October 25 military coup, there have been repeated miscalculations by the military both in terms of the power and perseverance of the protest movement. There have been more and more draconian efforts [by the military], essentially undermining whatever is left of the transition at every stage.”

“A majority of them have been forced to retreat following a heavy amount of tear gas that has been fired by security forces. The military who guard the presidential palace have also used live ammunition, according to protesters who ran away from the southern gates of the presidential palace. But protesters are still gathering on the road leading to the palace. Many of them are not far from the front gate. They say they're here to voice their demands and show the military that they want a civilian rule and no amount of tear gas or live ammunition will take them away from their demands. The protesters are saying the revolution is incomplete because the military is still in power. They are saying the military should go back to the barracks and that power should be handed to a civilian government. Many of them are saying they are not satisfied with the way the revolution has been going on over the past two years.”

“It is very difficult to gauge how effectively fundraising had translated into armed resistance, but the fact the military had imposed strict limits on ATM withdrawals indicated obvious concern. It is probably fair to say that it has had some positive impact on the NUG's [National Unity Government] ability to fund training, organisation and some arms purchases. In order to make fundraising sustainable in the longer term, the NUG would arguably need to demonstrate a greater capacity for coordinating resistance activities and exercising a degree of command-and-control over a plethora of 'People's Defence Forces'.”

“We believe that a resilient society and a prepared society would play a big factor in whether the Beijing authority ultimately decides to use force. That means behind that 180,000 to 200,000 strong military, we have a system of reserves and civilians who are trained and equipped to mobilise in case of emergencies. The idea is the civilian population would complement the strength of our regular force. These things are the building blocks to emergency response whether we are dealing with an earthquake or in a worse case scenario a military conflict to have a civilian population that is trained to back up our emergency responders.”

“We truly need to prepare the atmosphere and de-escalate matters so that we can sit at the table. But clearly, the military faction is continuing with its plan and there are no efforts to show goodwill. In these initial stages, we hope that they [international community] continue strong pressure. This pressure has to be more than just tweets. This pressure needs to have mechanisms that could create real pressure on the military component.”

“The increasingly loud voices sounding alarm of a potential China-US conflict in the South China Sea mostly came from the fact that the US is now seeing China on equal footing because of the latter's growing army. And that's quite a good indication of China's growing military strength already. No one can say without hesitation whether China and the US would go into real conflict over Taiwan or South China Sea, but with China's growing army, no one wants to see that happen. China's military strength has been significantly boosted by a large number of new weapons being added to the arsenal, especially in its Navy force. That's where the country's army is showing some of its fastest growth.”

“I (would) encourage him [Xi Jinping] to have more dialogue with the government and people here in Taiwan, and to get a better feel of what it's like in Taiwan ... And, of course, we would do more in terms of understanding the situation in China. We have said again and again that we want to have dialogue with China and this is the best way to avoid misunderstanding, miscalculation and misjudgment in the management of the cross-strait relations.”
