Hungarian PM Viktor Orbán claims:

We must take note that the Ukrainians will be active players in the Hungarian electoral campaign, because they have a fundamental interest in a change of government in Hungary.

This is not—this doesn't make me happy, this is not a nice thing, even though it's understandable, but we'll deal with this too.

Zelensky:

United European forces could be based on the Ukrainian Army.

Today, Ukraine has the largest and most experienced army in Europe, possessing real combat experience gained during the full-scale war.

Zelensky:

My visit to Davos, with all due respect, took place against the backdrop of Greenland being the main topic of discussion. At the same time, a full-scale war is ongoing in Ukraine.

I am not comparing these issues, but anyone can assess the scale of the threats. In the end, we managed to shift the focus of attention back to Ukraine, and now people are talking about us. This is important for us.

Kremlin:

Ukrainian Armed Forces must leave the territory of Donbas; this is an important condition of the Russian side.

Syria’s UN ambassador Ibrahim Alabi says the country’s future must be centralized, unified, and inclusive, rejecting armed groups outside state control:

It will only be a unified and strong state… extending its legitimate authority over the entire Syrian geography.

The new Syria has no winner or loser — rather, it is a victory that unites Syrians. Arabs and Kurds, Armenians, Turkmens, Circassians — Muslims, Christians, and Jews.

We will build the new Syria with the hands of all its sons and daughters.

On the basis of full equality… in one homeland that safeguards dignity, security, and stability.

French politician Jean-Luc Mélenchon, de facto leader of La France Insoumise (LFI):

What is happening now marks the end of a world.

The consequences will be as significant for international relations as the collapse of the Soviet Union.

The United States is going further — and it will go even further.

French politician Jean-Luc Mélenchon, de facto leader of La France Insoumise (LFI):

You have to understand what Mr. Trump is doing. He's not acting crazy; he has a very precise strategy.

His ultimate goal goal is China, not us.

And in this Greenland story, what he's after is the route that passes over it, the one the Chinese would use.

And they want to position themselves on Greenland because in the Bering Strait, territorial waters touch.

It was Panama, it's the Aden Strait, it's the entrance to the Hormuz Strait, it's their line, piece by piece.

And before they succeed, they have to bring Europe and Latin America to their knees. In Europe, there's resistance. In Latin America, there's resistance.

But nobody can say how long it will hold.

French politician Jean-Luc Mélenchon, de facto leader of La France Insoumise (LFI):

China has already won the manufacturing battle.

Manufacturing power is real power.

We should not allow this war to happen. No one survives a nuclear war — not you, not me, not our children.

Saudi writer Dr. Ahmed bin Othman Al-Tuwaijri on UAE:

The false illusion that the shortest path to revenge is to throw oneself into the arms of Zionism and become Israel’s Trojan horse in the Arab world.

He also alleges interference in Tunisia, economic domination in Egypt, and efforts in Somalia to secure strategic waterways:

“To give Israel a foothold in the Horn of Africa and control Bab al-Mandab.”

The article further claims Emirati cooperation with Israel in Gaza, citing leaked documents:

“The Emirati leadership issued explicit directives to prepare military bases to serve Israeli operations in Gaza.”

He closes with a reaffirmation of fraternity and a warning of historical judgment:

“Saudi Arabia will remain a loyal sister to the UAE… while disgrace will befall those who strayed from the right path.”

Spain’s Sanchez:

After much reflection, Spain has decided not to participate in the so-called Board of Peace.

We thank them for the invitation, but we decline.

This board is outside the United Nations framework. It does not include the Palestinian Authority.

The future of Gaza and the West Bank must be decided by Palestinians.

Spain’s Sanchez:

Spain has tripled its defense spending since I became prime minister. We are investing €34 billion a year in defense.

At the same time, we will not renounce public healthcare, public education, social cohesion, or development aid.

Security is not only weapons.

Security is scholarships for our children. Security is public hospitals for our elderly.

IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva on AI:

Young people searching for jobs will find it harder to get a good placement.

The middle class is going to be squeezed.

This is my biggest worry: where are the guardrails?

Bessent: I think we almost reached a SNL moment a few years ago when it was “you’re not going to own anything, you’re going to eat insects.” I mean, it was just—the inmates were running the asylum at that point.

Dasha Burns: You’re not into the bugs?

Bessent: Well, I can tell you—after a few days of Swiss German food, I may switch to bugs.

Trump:

WHATEVER HAPPENED TO GLOBAL WARMING???

Ukrainian Foreign Minister Sybiha responds to Orban:

This plan is doomed to fail, Mr. Prime Minister. Your master in Moscow won’t last 100 years.

And on the day Ukraine joins the EU, we will frame this headline to remember your lies.

JD Vance on Greenland:

What keeps Russia or China from invading Greenland? Is it the power of Denmark? As much as I love Denmark, no, it's the power of the United States of America.

So the fact that we're implicitly protecting it means that we should share in the prosperity of it.

JD Vance on Greenland:

If some foreign country launches an ICBM to the United States of America, our entire missile defense system could be destabilized. If you don't control the Arctic, that means Americans are less safe.

And that is why we have this implicit protection over Greenland. It's absurd that it's taken people so long to realize that obvious fact.

JD Vance on European leaders:

They almost feel like they have to puff up their chest and posture symbolically in front of the President of the United States.

A lot of this is just politicians playing politician games. What I love about Trump is he kind of ignores that. He just goes on and goes about his business.

JD Vance on Europe:

People think that Trump, or that I, or that Rubio, hate Europe or have some problem with Europe. We don’t. We love Europe.

Why do we want Europe to control its borders? Because we love European civilization. We want it to preserve itself.

Why do we care about economic growth? Because they’re one of our most important allies in the world. We share a common civilizational heritage.

Why do we care about NATO? Because we want Europe to be able to defend itself if, God forbid, they were invaded.

We love Europe so much, we’re demanding that they do what their own leadership refuses to do, which is look after themselves and be smarter.

JD Vance on NATO:

Trump wants NATO to be stronger, but he wants it to be self-sufficient.

He doesn’t want NATO to be an American security umbrella where our troops have to go over there to fight to defend Europe.

He wants Europe to be self-sufficient, and I think that’s the right model.

JD Vance on Europe:

You can’t survive as a population if you’re doing third world mass migration that destabilizes your own country and makes it less safe.

If Europe goes down, it will be bad for America. So we’re going to look after our own country, protect our own borders, and encourage our European friends to do the same.
