  • Chandrachur Singh
    Chandrachur Singh “The opposition - a consortium of nearly two dozen parties - has not been able to rally people around economic distress despite raising it as a prominent election issue. The problem with the opposition is that it is a coming together of parties with divergent views whose only agenda seems to be to dislodge Modi. To the people, that doesn't seem to be a good enough agenda. The fact that the opposition has not projected a face against Modi is also an issue. Rahul Gandhi is slowly emerging as that leader, but in terms of perception, he is still far behind Modi.” 4 hours ago
  • Neelanjan Sircar
    Neelanjan Sircar “A large part of what the BJP [Bharatiya Janata Party] does is thinking about how to centralise all political attribution on Modi. Its campaign promises are pitched as Modi's guarantees. This is the strategy of a party where the leader is a cult figure and the party is the vehicle for the leader. Whether it's economic distress or even issues like violence in Manipur, Modi is not directly sullied. People may blame other leaders of the BJP. In regional elections, as a consequence, BJP might be voted out. But it is not anger against Modi.” 4 hours ago
  • Benjamin Netanyahu
    Benjamin Netanyahu “The idea that we will stop the war before achieving all its objectives is out of the question. We will enter Rafah and we will eliminate the Hamas battalions there - with or without a deal, in order to achieve the total victory.” 4 hours ago
  • Nour Odeh
    Nour Odeh “For a while, there was a lot of cautious optimism up until this morning, and then the prime minister announced he will order an invasion of Rafah with or without a deal - in essence trampling all of these ceasefire talks. This is what the families of the captives had feared. This is what the negotiators feared. Netanyahu's comments came after he held meetings with the most right-wing members of his coalition government, including Itamar Ben-Gvir. It's interesting, every time Blinken comes to the region - catching the tailwind of some optimism - something like this happens, and he ends up going home with nothing to show for all this political momentum.” 4 hours ago
  • Randall Kuhn
    Randall Kuhn “Put simply, the situation in Gaza is it's completely intolerable at this point. We're on the border of famine and for us as a university, we have to reckon with the fact that every university in Gaza has been destroyed. As a professor, I find it repugnant to sit by while Palestinian professors are being killed, while academic buildings are being bombed relentlessly.” 4 hours ago

“Perceptions matter whether or not they're rooted in a cold, cold reality. And the perception is very clear that the US is not as committed to the Gulf as it used to be in the views of many people in decision-making authority in the region. From the Saudi point of view, they now see Obama, Trump and Biden - three successive presidents - taking decisions that signify to some extent an abandonment. I think we saw in Biden's statements on Afghanistan, the way he said things that he's clearly going to put US interests first and obviously that came as quite a disappointment to partners and allies around the world who maybe hoped for something different after Trump. He sounds quite similar to an 'America First' approach, just sort of a different tone.”

“The US has not invested much in Myanmar, but has supported some aid programs during the governing of the National League for Democracy (NLD). The 'democratic transition' in Myanmar is a legacy of the Obama administration, and Biden does not want to lose it. The Myanmar today is different from the Myanmar of 10 or even five years ago. After all, the Myanmar people's awareness of democracy, political participation and political maturity is different. So it's not particularly likely that the military will extend the state of emergency after one year.”

“[China is] a challenge to our security, to our prosperity, to our values across a range of issues. I do support an aggressive stance, in a sense, to deal with the challenge that we're facing. The United States needed a stance that's more assertive than where we had been in the Obama-Biden administration.”

“I was proud to join President Tsai in Taiwan last year to participate in Taiwan's National Day. In the face of growing hostility, Taiwan has stood strong and tall against the Chinese Communist Party's oppression and bully tactics. America is proud to stand with the people of Taiwan. China spends an enormous amount of time and resources isolating Taiwan, including by trying to influence the debate here in the United States. China spends billions and billions of dollars to shape what Americans see, hear, and think. And far too often, Hollywood acquiesces to the demands of the communist regime. Removing the Taiwanese and Japanese flag patches from Maverick's jacket in the latest Top Gun film is just one example. America should not do the bidding of the Chinese Communist Party. Reversing an Obama-Biden era policy to allow Taiwanese officials to proudly display their flag while in the U.S. and countering China's censorship and propaganda in American films are two important steps in the right direction.”

“This election that's coming up on every level is so important because what we're going to be battling is not just a particular individual or a political party. What we're fighting against is these long-term trends in which being selfish, being tribal, being divided and seeing others as an enemy - that has become a stronger impulse in American life. And by the way, we're seeing that internationally as well. It's part of the reason why the response to this global crisis has been so anaemic and spotty. It would have been bad even with the best of governments. It has been an absolute chaotic disaster when that mindset - of 'what's in it for me' and 'to heck with everybody else' - when that mindset is operationalised in our government. That's why, I, by the way, am going to be spending as much time as necessary and campaigning as hard as I can for Joe Biden.”
