  • Margus Tsahkna
    Margus Tsahkna “This is a hybrid attack. If we look at the very different spheres of life in which Russia interferes in our lives on our territory. Whether it is deliberate attacks through the special services on our public assets, on our monuments. Whether it is cyberattacks, or whether it is completely deliberate action in terms of jamming the GPS signal. Russia knows very well that the interference they are causing is very dangerous for our air traffic and, specifically, is also in breach of international conventions to which Russia is a party. So, this is a deliberate action that is disrupting our lives, putting people's lives at risk.” 16 hours ago
  • Osama Hamdan
    Osama Hamdan “It's clear from the Israeli paper that they are still insisting on two major issues. They don't want a complete ceasefire and they are not talking, in a serious way, about the withdrawal from Gaza. In fact, they are still talking about their presence … which means that they will keep continuing [occupying] Gaza. We have serious questions for the mediators. If there [are] positive answers, I think we can move forward. Stopping the attacks against Palestinians is not generous [Blinken claimed that the Israeli proposal was an 'extraordinarily generous' offer]. The attack itself is a crime, so when you stop a crime, you can't claim that it's a generous action from the Israeli side.” 17 hours ago
  • Tim Wu
    Tim Wu “ByteDance, for its part, maintains that it is not actually subject to control by the Chinese government. The weight of the evidence suggests otherwise: The Chinese state owns a “golden share” in the company, the firm is based in China, and studies suggest that the government shapes TikTok content in accordance with party preferences. ByteDance has said it has no plans to sell TikTok; but that might merely be a means of driving up the price. What the company now has is a golden opportunity to prove its independence for once and for all: by selling TikTok and taking the money.” 19 hours ago
  • Jens Stoltenberg
    Jens Stoltenberg “For months the U.S. was unable to agree a package and European allies have been unable to deliver ammunition at the scale we promised. Ukraine has been outgunned for months and forced to ration its ammunition.... More support is on the way.” 20 hours ago
  • Ting-yu Wang
    Ting-yu Wang “A visit to China by a group of 17 Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) lawmakers is doing nothing regarding China's continuing military intimidation against Taiwan. The KMT members have become tools for Beijing's united front propaganda campaign. Beijing is manipulating Taiwan's parliament by using democracy to kill democracy. It is regretful that the 17 KMT lawmakers now in China are afraid to speak up for Taiwan, as we still face constant military threats from China and intimidatory gray zone tactics. We cannot see how the KMT's 'trip to promote peace and friendship' has achieved anything. Instead they are acting like sycophants by pandering to Chinese officials.” 20 hours ago
  • Volodymyr Zelenskiy
    Volodymyr Zelenskiy “Timely support for our army. Today I don't see anything positive on this point yet. There are supplies, they have slowly begun, but this process needs to be sped up. Promptness in supply literally means a stabilization of the front line.... Together we must disrupt the Russian offensive.” 20 hours ago
  • Natasa Pirc Musar
    Natasa Pirc Musar “I am supporting him [Borut Pahor]. Pahor would be a good candidate. His political experience of 17 years in the highest positions in my republic shows he is capable of holding such a position. Slovenia is an ideal candidate for that [role, EU special envoy for Kosovo-Serbia dialogue], knowing the region, we know the mentality, the culture, because of the roots from the past and I can assure you that Slovenia never has a hidden agenda. That is our added value.” 20 hours ago

“There are political intentions behind such views of linking the situations in Afghanistan and South Korea. Those with such views want to attack the ruling bloc as they believe the current government is pro-China and pro-North Korea when the alliance with the U.S. should be prioritized. But that is also wrong as Moon [Moon Jae-in] and U.S. President Joe Biden have vowed to elevate the Korea-U.S. alliance to a global alliance that goes beyond the Korean Peninsula.”

“The Afghan crisis, in which the Islamic militants took full control of Afghanistan, is the result of the government's incompetence, the incapacitated military and the cold-hearted nationalism of the international community. Unless its partner has strong defense capabilities and strong will for self-reliance, the U.S. could leave the partner to pursue its own national interests. The Moon Jae-in government and the military should do their best to strengthen the Republic of Korea-U.S. alliance and maintain a strong military, using the Afghan situation as a turning point.”

“The Moon [Moon Jae-in] government is behaving nonsensically by complimenting itself in this severe situation [daily Covid-19 cases reaching new high]. The President should explain the situation and apologize to the public.”

“The Moon administration declared the nuclear phase-out plan, but in fact the number of nuclear power plants in Korea did not decrease under the Moon government. What he only did was cancel the planned construction of new nuclear plants. The government should legally establish its energy policy and come up with realistic plans to transition to green, renewable energy to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050.”

“There are strong fears over nuclear power, but most of them are superstitions. There is only one nuclear accident that led to death - the Chernobyl accident - and divided by the amount of electricity produced, 0.5 people could be killed out of 1 trillion kilowatt-hour, equivalent to the amount generated for 100 years from a nuclear plant, so it is much safer than other energy sources. The study [about the economic viability of Unit 1 of the Wolsong Nuclear Plant] lowered the rate of operation of the unit and presumed the cost of electricity lower than the production cost to reduce the economic feasibility of the nuclear plant. Yoon [Yoon Seok-youl] clearly understood that Moon's [Moon Jae-in] nuclear phase-out policy defied existing laws and killed off Korea's top-notch technology in nuclear power generation. Korea has stable supply chains in all stages of making nuclear plants, from design, construction to operation and has won contracts in overseas markets, including the UAE. Korea's nuclear power technology is recognized internationally, but the phase-out plan dampened its export prospects. Korea does not have underground energy resources such as oil and coal. Renewable energy is not very efficient in Korea. Wind power is weak and solar power generation is available only during the day and it costs even more to store the amount for night. They cannot compete with nuclear energy in efficiency.”

“President Moon's [Moon Jae-in] attendance can be an opportunity to show his determination to improve Korea-Japan ties to neighboring countries as well as the Japanese people. The worst-ever relationship between Korea and Japan has continued and the problem is that has weakened the nation's overall diplomatic capabilities as well as ties between Korea and the U.S.”

“I am part of the Moon [Moon Jae-in] administration and the DPK [Democratic Party of Korea], so I am not in a position to appraise the policies. However, like most Koreans, real estate prices soared too much under this administration and we can raise doubts about whether this government did its best to stabilize the real estate market or not.”

“To talk about the leader of North Korea, the culprit of the war that caused millions of casualties, just a day before June 25, as if the North Korean leader were a wise king, is like hammering a nail into the hearts of the patriotic martyrs of the country and their bereaved families and descendants.”

“Who is Kim Jong-un's honesty, passion and determination for? Is it for North Korean people? Is it for South Korean people? Or is it for North Korea's nuclear missiles? The appearance of the President [Moon Jae-in] blowing his heart toward Kim Jong-un despite so many humiliations is frustrating as a South Korean citizen. Now, after four years of spectacular shows of dialogue with the North, North Korea's nuclear missiles have become a real threat, the Gaeseong liaison office has been blown up by the North and a South Korean government official has been shot and burned by the North.”

“The problem has been that the administration has only talked about denuclearisation and continues to characterise any interactions with North Korea as nuclear negotiations. So, it's still a tough sell to get the North Koreans back to the table, but obviously, Moon [South Korea's President Moon Jae-in] is going to push very hard.”

“It's clear that the Biden administration is focused on strategic competition with China as a primary foreign policy objective, or as a primary frame for thinking about the challenges it faces in the world. It was very intentional that it opened its foreign policy approach in that way [first two leaders to visit the US - the Japanese Yoshihide Suga followed by the South Korean Moon Jae-in]. The US sees South Korea as a like-minded country, a democracy, a security ally… which basically means the US thinks South Korea has already made a choice,” Snyder explained. “Basically what they have been doing is to cooperate under the surface with the US but not necessarily publicly. They’re like a student that aces the written exam but is deeply afraid of class participation.”

“The problem is that all politics are local, and both the Moon [Moon Jae-in, president of South Korea] and Suga [Yoshihide Suga, Prime Minister of Japan] administrations respond to popular sentiment. I suspect the U.S. will strongly stress the importance of focusing on the future rather than being tortured by the ghosts of history. I think the U.S. will likely try to mediate. There are some ideas of compromise floating around, and the U.S. will likely encourage a resolution that stresses the vital importance of that to both alliances.”

“President Moon benefited a lot from the COVDI-19 response, but now the pandemic is getting worse. And the bigger problem is that with the worsening of the pandemic, the economy and people's livelihoods will inevitably face more hardships. So far, Moon's strongest pillar has been his fine response to the pandemic. But the people's trust in the COVID-19 response is shaking, so it is now emerging as an important negative factor in his support rating.”
