    Marwan Bishara “Once again, the US's veto demonstrated a policy of it's my way or the highway. Palestine could only be a country the way the United States sees it, or Israel sees it, only at the time that it's suitable to the United States and within the geopolitics and the global interest of the United States. The US is sacrificing the freedom of Palestinian people for egotistical and narrow interests of the United States and Israel.” 15 hours ago

    Brad Setser “Tariffs are currently 7.5 percent on electric vehicle battery packs but 25 percent on the components of those packs. The lower rate should be raised. China had long steered its subsidies to companies that manufacture and source their products in China - and sometimes had required those companies to be Chinese-owned. In order to build up industrial sectors where China has a first-mover advantage and now a cost advantage you need to have an insulated market - and to use some of the tools that China has already used.” 19 hours ago

    Lael Brainard “China's policy-driven overcapacity poses a serious risk to the future of the American steel and aluminum industry. China cannot export its way to recovery. China is simply too big to play by its own rules.” 19 hours ago

“Trump, when he has an idea, comes back to it again and again, then gets distracted, forgets, but eventually comes back to it and acts on it. That's why leaving Nato is a real possibility. A lot of people think it's just a negotiating tool, but I don't think so.”

“The Supreme Court should take the case and resolve early and for the entire country whether Trump can be on the ballot. The court either would be precluding Trump from being on the ballot or allowing him to remain. Either way, the court would be playing a huge role in the election.”

“None of the polling looks good for anybody else and time is running out for them. The issue now is Trump's seeming inevitability. That's why this debate is really important. One of these candidates has to make the case that they are best situated to upset Trump in one of the early states, including Iowa.”

“If we consider the lessons learned from Hanoi, one possible lesson Kim Jong-un may have taken from the experience is that from his perspective, the United States did not take sufficiently seriously the idea that the North was negotiating from a position of strength. North Korea is asserting that its laws make denuclearization negotiations a non-starter. As a result, it is hard to imagine how the United States and North Korea will be able to frame a diplomatic negotiation process around a set of commonly held objectives. A logical course of action would be to further strengthen the North's military program so that its nuclear capabilities would be regarded as undeniable and irreversible. Once North Korea's Kim believes he has adequately achieved those objectives, he might in principle then be ready to return to diplomatic negotiations with the United States, but from an even stronger position than the North's Kim was in when he met with Trump in Hanoi in February of 2019.”

“The democracy emergency is closely linked to the climate crisis. Each is grounded in a big lie - that climate science is a hoax, that Trump won in 2020 - pushed by the same rightwing politicians and propaganda “news” outlets and embraced with cult-like devotion by Trump's followers. Left untreated, each threatens disaster. If Trump's forces do change enough electoral rules and personnel to guarantee victory in 2022 and beyond, there is zero chance the US government will take the strong climate action needed to avert global catastrophe.”

“Lifting sanctions means lifting all forms of sanctions stipulated in the nuclear agreement, and the sanctions that Trump reimposed contradict the terms of the agreement. We demand guarantees that include not imposing any new sanctions, and not reimposing sanctions after lifting them under any pretext.”

“With the Iran nuclear deal still up in the air and the war in Yemen continuing to rage, Biden's approach to the Middle East is very similar to that of Trump. The deeper down, the substance, is not as different as one might have imagined. So, it's more one of style.”

“He came over with his mother. Really a nice young man. And what he went through, that was prosecutorial misconduct. He should not have had to suffer through a trial for that. He's a really good, young guy.”

“It took former President Trump 17 months to nominate an ambassador to South Korea, so I'm not overly concerned that President Biden hasn't yet sent forth a name for Seoul. What's more, U.S. Special Representative for the DPRK Sung Kim (who himself served as ambassador to South Korea from 2011 to 2014) can also function as a more than capable go-between with Seoul until President Biden makes his choice.”

“I think that it is one of the issues under discussion among the parties involved in the North Korea issue. The Moon government is openly pressing for an end of war declaration, including the President himself and the ministers of foreign affairs and unification. And it would be an important political move if it happens. North Korea has realized that it has to address U.S.-North Korea and inter-Korean relations in parallel now that Biden is U.S. president. It has also realized that it has to address political relations with the U.S., inter-Korean reconciliation, nuclear issues and possible economic assistance in parallel. This wasn't the case during the Trump years, but it is under Biden.”

“Saturday's rally in Iowa, though, was different. This one was attended by longtime Iowa US Sen. Chuck Grassley, Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds, Iowa Reps. Mariannette Miller-Meeks and Ashley Hinson, and other mainstream Republican officials. Some of these very same people, who just nine months ago were slamming Trump for his role in the Capitol riots, were now only too happy to be seen supporting him. This is politics at its worst - and at its most dangerous for our democracy.”

“The biggest difference [between Biden and Trump on China] is that the Trump administration was more unilateralist and even weakened some of our alliances and partnerships, but the Biden administration has come in determined to build coalitions with the countries that share our values and interests.”

“The Afghan imbroglio and the Aukus row betrayed a tin ear. Biden truly believes in alliances. But when the chips are down, like his predecessors he acts in America's self-interest, deaf to the consequences for others. Likewise at home, he truly believes in reform. But try as he will, he cannot drown out the reality of a divided nation or the pernicious, still potent legacy of Trump - who daily plots his downfall from the extra-large seat of his Florida golf buggy. Latest poll trends and the political dynamic in Washington point to a Republican takeover of Congress next year, the thwarting of much of Biden's agenda, and a failing, one-term presidency. This gloomy scenario may change. Hopefully it will. But the democratic world can only watch America's unfolding Lear-like drama and, fearing a recurring nightmare in 2024, mutter all-a-tremble: 'Please, not Trump again!'.”

“The discovery that he [Donald Trump] has not in fact gone, but is still lurking on the internet disseminating conspiracy theories about the election, brings on the sick feeling you get two-thirds of the way into a horror movie, when a sense of calm is introduced prior to the biggest jump scare. Unlike the first time around, there is no possibility of laughing Trump off or assuming his idiocies won't find a sympathetic audience. At the rally last week, two Republican congressional candidates addressed the group. A recent CNN poll found that 78% of Republicans didn't believe that Biden legitimately won the presidency. Rightwing America, and therefore America as a whole, has yet to shake this guy off.”

“The damage that the Biden administration has brought to US-France ties is much bigger than all the damage combined in Trump's term. This proves that whether 'America First' or 'America is back,' they are just different measures serving the same goal of US hegemony. Biden's pledge to fix ties with allies is not the purpose, it is a measure to make the US regain leadership. In the case of the AUKUS submarine deal, Biden's diplomatic approach is just like another version of Trump's America First. As long as it's in the interest of the US, they can betray anyone, even an ally like France.”

“This makes Europeans realize that maybe some of Trump's policies, beyond the scandals and the tweets, were not an aberration but signaled a deeper shift away from Europe. At a time when the Biden administration wants to rally Europeans in a common transatlantic front to push back against Chinese assertiveness, why not bring in the key EU actor in the region?”

“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.”
