  • Emmanuel Macron
    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.” 42 minutes 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.” 46 minutes ago

“The Pentagon deployment to the UAE is primarily aimed at securing US assets in the country and not necessarily meant to meaningfully help with protecting the Emirates from Houthi drone or ballistic missile fire. The gesture of support does not mean a renewed emphasis on the region by Washington. The United States has no interest in getting sucked back into a conflict in the Middle East, especially not in Yemen.”

“For the last 20 years, we heard that the terrorist threat justified an ever-expanding budget for the Pentagon. As the war in Afghanistan has ended and attention has shifted towards China, we're now hearing that that threat justifies it.”

“The relevant Pentagon report fully exposes the true intention of the US to militarize the Indo-Pacific and go all out to encircle and contain China. The development of China's national defense forces is entirely out of the need to safeguard its sovereignty, security and development interests and maintain international and regional peace and security. This is fundamentally different from the US' flagrant sabre-rattling around the world, hegemonic and bullying practices and disruption in regional peace and stability. We firmly oppose the US side's attempt to justify its moves to increase military expenditure, expand military build-up and maintain military hegemony with the 'China threat theory'. The US side should abandon the Cold-War mentality of creating imaginary enemies and stop words and deeds that threaten international peace and security.”

“NDAA [National Defense Authorization Act] would allocate roughly $778 billion to the Pentagon for Fiscal Year 2022, a nearly $40 billion increase from 2021 and the largest called for in the bill in eight years. The plan from the Biden administration was to set the tone early and say, 'We're not going to get a peace dividend out of this, we are going to reinvest this in, not necessarily endless wars per se, but a sprawling collection of 800 military bases, spending that exceeds the next 10 countries combined. The NDAA being considered by the House this week would far surpass China's funding for its own military. By increasing the military budget close to $40 billion, America is back, but in the sense that we're back to starting an arms race with another major power.”

“Our competition with China is about freedom and order in the Indo-Pacific [region]. The Pentagon is becoming more serious about strengthening its deterrence capabilities in the region. About 52 percent of Americans responding to a poll supported US troops defending Taiwan if it were to be invaded by China, which is an all-time high. If Taiwan is lost, it would be incredibly difficult to defend the first island chain, the Miyako Strait and freedom of navigation in the South China Sea.”

“There will be a $1bn request coming to the Pentagon this week from the [Israeli] defence minister to replenish the Iron Dome and a few other things, to upgrade the system.”
