Selçuk Bayraktar, CTO of Turkish aerospace company BAYKAR:

If you make enough drones, nobody will attack you.

Russia is building a “full-fledged partnership” with Afghanistan’s Taliban government, senior Russian official Sergei Shoigu said.

Shoigu said Moscow is expanding cooperation with Kabul on security, trade, culture, and humanitarian aid, and urged regional countries to deepen ties with Afghanistan.

Russia formally recognized the Taliban government in 2025 after removing the group from its terrorist list.

Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich:

I think that in this term, de facto, we are killing the idea of a Palestinian state.

Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich:

We need to exploit the window of opportunity of a friendly administration in the White House and a right-wing government here… to de facto kill the idea of establishing a Palestinian state in the heart of the Land of Israel.

Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich:

You see a halt in illegal Palestinian construction in the West Bank.

For the first time, we reversed the trend: more demolitions than construction.

That means the trend is moving backwards. We are demolishing four-, five-, and six-story buildings. This creates deterrence — nobody likes investing money in a losing fund.

We are now moving toward a land registration process in the West Bank — something that was stopped after the Six-Day War.

Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich:

If we want long-term security, then Gaza must be settled.

We also need to encourage migration — to remove the 1.8 million, or however many are left there.

Gaza should be resettled. Settlement will bring security.

Netanyahu:

As one thinker once said — actually in Russia — he said: “The State of Israel is a small superpower, but it is a superpower.”

We are going to become a large global superpower.

John Bolton:

Negotiating a nuclear deal with Iran is a waste of oxygen.

These people made a strategic decision decades ago to get nuclear weapons.

There is not a single piece of evidence in 47 years that they’ve abandoned that objective.

U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee:

I hear people say, “I don’t want anything to do with Israel.”

Okay, give up your cell phone. Give up car navigation. Give up some medical innovations that may have saved some member of your family’s life.

Be sure, by the way, to give up some conveniences like cherry tomatoes and seedless watermelons while you’re at it.

And let’s just go ahead and don’t buy anything that has an Nvidia or an Intel chip. Let’s get rid of most of your computers and a whole lot of the software that you use because it was innovated here.

And I’m sorry to break it to you, but if you hate Israel that much, you’re going to be living a very different kind of life.

An Israeli comedian's stand-up routine captured an audience member — an Israeli Navy veteran who guarded Palestinian detainees — casually confirming that prisoners were subjected to sexual abuse including objects being inserted.

The comedian responded:

"Do they get to choose too? Like, 'Can I get the broom?' Do they ask for it?" — to applause from the crowd.

"The whole audience... Crimes against humanity, everyone's clapping, great, well done!"

Senator Graham on Trump's China visit:

Xi could pick up the phone and help end the Russia-Ukraine war.

He could help end the Iran conflict if he chose to.

Without China buying Iranian oil, they would be out of business.

If China continues to disrupt the world by propping up Iran and Russia without paying a price, we will have made a huge mistake.

I have legislation that would allow President Trump to put tariffs on China for buying Russian oil and gas.

The only thing China respects is strength.

If they’re still doing the same thing with Iran and Russia and we don’t punish them, we’ve made a mistake.

Senator Graham on China:

They are buying oil cheaply from Iran, keeping their war machine going. Same thing with Russia.

If they stopped buying that oil, those wars would end.

All I’m asking China to do is help us open up the Strait of Hormuz, help us stop Iran from getting a nuclear weapon — because I think they would use it — and help end the bloodbath in Ukraine.

If you help us, I’ll be very grateful.

If you don’t — and you continue to prop up these regimes — I’ll do business and put tariffs on you Tuesday.

Xi is not crazy. He’s not irrational.

If he believed President Trump would crush his economy for propping up Iran and Russia, I think his behavior would change.

Senator Graham on China:

If they change, China will be rewarded.

If they don’t, they'll be punished.

Trump Mobile's T1 Phone is finally shipping after nearly a year of delays.

It's a $499 gold Android phone with Trump branding, a Snapdragon 7-series chip, 12GB RAM, 512GB storage, and a 50MP triple camera system.

It appears to be a rebranded Chinese-made device with U.S. final assembly bolted on.

Trump in China:

I would like to raise a glass and propose a toast to the rich and enduring ties between the American and Chinese people.

It’s a very special relationship.

Trump in China:

We had extremely positive and productive conversations and meetings today with the Chinese delegation.

Xi Jinping:

Achieving the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation and making America great again can go hand in hand.

We can help each other succeed.

Xi Jinping:

Both China and the United States stand to gain from cooperation and lose from confrontation.

Our two countries should be partners rather than rivals.

Trump invites Xi Jinping to visit the White House on September 24.

📸 Trump & his officials said Iran was "decimated."

U.S. Intelligence says otherwise.
