The Quotes of The Day


Quote I

“Everybody had better entertain it. Everybody had better entertain everything, right? I never thought I’d say this again. I’m not that tinfoil hat guy, I’m actually a very sane human being and I think there’s a lot of conspiracy theories out there that are absolutely insane.

Outgoing NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg has addressed the question of the US and UK mulling allowing Ukraine to strike Russian territory with West-supplied long-range weapons. President Putin last week spelled out clearly that if this happened then Moscow and NATO would be in a state of direct war.

Stoltenberg downplayed this threat of major new escalation in a Monday interview with LBC radio, saying he "welcomed" the discussion over long-rage missiles. He separately told Foreign Policy he's in favor of the West greenlighting long-range strikes on Russian soil.
