Former MI6 Chief Richard Moore:

Putin would already have lost were it not for the Chinese support he has garnered.

Xi is behind Putin.

Former MI6 Chief Richard Moore:

In December alone, I think we believe that something like 30,000 Russians were killed in one month.

That’s as many as they lost in a 10-year campaign in Afghanistan.

The losses are terrible and even the Russians will struggle to replace that level of losses.

Turkish President Erdogan:

As Türkiye, whatever we want for ourselves, we want the very same for our neighbors and for all brotherly countries as well.

Turkish President Erdogan on Syria:

The time has come for Syria’s resources — its underground and surface wealth — to be spent not on building tunnels or digging beneath cities, but on the prosperity of all segments of the Syrian people.

Turkish President Erdogan on Syria:

God willing, the hopes that are blossoming again will not turn into disappointment once more.

Above all, Türkiye will not allow that to happen.

Turkish President Erdogan:

Türkiye is not seeking influence in the region. It has no desire whatsoever to shape or design other countries.

On the contrary, we sincerely seek brotherhood.

Q: Did you see those images of JD Vance being booed at the games? What does this say about the EU–US bond?

Kaja Kallas: Well, I guess we have heard a lot of not-so-nice words from the United States regarding Europe, and of course our public also has a pride — European pride — so it shows.

EU's Kaja Kallas:

If you look at the bigger picture, Russia is the problem — it has been attacking its neighbors for over a hundred years already.

So in order to stop the war and prevent it from expanding, we should have concessions on the Russian side.

EU's Kaja Kallas:

Every war ends in, you know, compromise or concessions.

EU's Kaja Kallas:

We have to understand how the Russian negotiation tactic is.

It is always to demand something — the absolute maximum — something that has never been yours, and then present threats, ultimatums, use force.

And then eventually there will always be people in the West who will offer you something so that you walk away with more than you had.

EU's Kaja Kallas:

The size of the Ukrainian Army is not the problem, because they haven’t attacked Russia.

The size of the Russian Army is a problem for all its neighbors.

The size of the Russian military budget is a problem for all.

EU's Kaja Kallas:

If the Russians are thinking that they are getting their maximum goals from the Americans, why should they want to talk to the Europeans? Because we will only make demands for them.

So that's why we have to work on our efforts to really put them in a position where they would go from pretending to negotiate to actually negotiate — which means the possession of strength.

The National Governors Association (NGA) canceled its annual White House meeting after Trump invited only Republican Governors.

The event is typically bipartisan.

Retired Turkish generals say Türkiye relied on Israeli Heron drones due to weak intelligence during the fight against terrorism, but say the drones gave wrong coordinates, weren’t properly transferred, and most eventually crashed.

Türkiye later returned some of them:

The coordinates the Herons gave were always wrong.

We would fire artillery, and the shots were going to completely ridiculous places.

The take-offs and landings were performed by pilots from that country.

They all ended up crashing. Only one is in a museum now… just for display.

Greek Defense Minister Nikos Dendias:

The phrase I often use — that unfortunately Greece is not located in the geographical position of Luxembourg — describes an objective reality that we must take into account.

From this perspective, we are prisoners of geography.

Greek Defense Minister Nikos Dendias:

After the Cold War, we now stand before a new global order.

The theoretical models — such as the claim about the “end of history” by Fukuyama — and the optimistic frameworks created by other positive developments, I believe, have now been disproven in practice.

Greek Defense Minister Nikos Dendias admits:

Europe relied for decades on the strategic umbrella of the United States.

It neglected its own capabilities and must now recognize a new and difficult reality.

Strengthening a common defense policy is not a luxury. It is a necessity.

Security can no longer be taken for granted.
