- Garry Kasparov, considered to be one of the greatest chess players in history, having held the number spot for a record-setting 255 months, and a leading voice in the Russian opposition, sat down with the Kyiv Post to discuss how the West can pressure Putin, the scandal embroiling the chess world today, and what the future of Ukraine will be.

That was a beautiful and elegant last statement by Garry Kasparov. "I'm not sure whether we can ever compensate them for the sacrifices they have made, not only for their own country, but for freedom around the world"
Hi, someone should translate the 8 hour video presented here in this comment into Ukrainian language and into Russian language. For total intel on Putin watch the 8 hour CZcams documentary "The Swiss Beast - Home of the Devil; Part 7 Switzerland's Sleeper Agent Putin" on CZcams channel "HomieLand Sickurity" on the powers behind the screens explaining the endless lies of our leaders and their Pharaonic Swiss origins giving all the orders out of the Alps, where Putin has all his money in a SwiSS bank, and where he has his Ruskie girlfriend Alina Kabaeva together with their two Putin kids in SwiSSyland.
There is but one way, to live our best lives
How about confiscating Russian wealth to rebuild the housing and infrastructure of Ukraine?
Amen!
Just take the gas fields east of Ukraine to pay for the restitution...
And to keep russia away from Ukrainian Crimea and the Azov sea...
A security buffer.
Like the iron curtain excuses the soviets used...
Ukraine should start blowing up russian logistics, hospitals, power and water stations, universities, museums, shhools, transportation hubs, tramlines, busses....
In a special operation way.
Not in a war like way....
Then the russians might wake up
Consistent from the day one,Garry Kasparov. Respect for the man.
Lol
He's been amazing.

Big timely warning to the world in 2015 with his published "Winter Is Coming" and all the NATO countries likely heeded the advisement to some degree (but not enough...?) I'm able to believe a necessary trap was set (if only by God) and the glorious boys in Ukraine pay the piper for our temporary world solution against a hyperbolic juggernaut of evil. A reformed political future must remain for Russian people but the evil war machine must be harnessed for NATO protection. This is actually win-win and they need to become a force of stability to the world. The entrenched pedophilia of the institutions must be thoroughly and highly publicly smashed from the start or success can not be had.
A GREAT RUSSIAN 👍
Garry Kasparov is a Champion in every sense of the word. His thoughts and insight are so impressive and inspiring. The Man is a true Freedom Fighter and a awesome human being.
Bravo, Mr. Kasparov!
And consistently, deservedly sought by the international media for his thoughts on myriad issues.
Ukrainian cannon fodder... The Anglo-saxons decided to fight the Russians to the last Ukrainian...
kasparov has been one of my personal heroes for many, many years. i have nothing but respect for the man.
I feel sorry for you
Ofcorse you do he is an american asset
@@anitapodsudek8041
you have a right to your personal opinion, no matter how wrong or moronic it might be. he was one of the greatest chess players in the history the game. and to many, that means something.
@@JohnLeePettimoreIII -- Only a moron would resort to insults for lack of arguments. All one needs to know about Garik Weinstein aka "Gasparov" as a human being is that he waged a tribal attack to discredit the truly great Bobbie Fischer as a chess player because Bobby had been declared a self-hating Jew.
@@dimitrisgregan553Yep, I think he's an excellent asset to our country.
Garry Kasparov has an 190 IQ and a world champion in chess, all pretty impressive stats in his resume. It is a good thing he is speaking out against Putin and his evil Russian regime.
"Some of the dumbest people are those with the most education, those with the most wisdom, are some of least educated."
Garry's closing message for Ukrainians is absolutely spot on and priceless! The Ukrainians are showing us that we - the West - have values worth fighting for. Slava Ukraini from Canada!
Yes values like supporting Nazi's and keep expanding NATO and threatening every country that does not want to give us their resources for free.
The West don't know what values are, the West only knows that they are power hungry and will stop at nothing to rape, pillage a country in order to steal their natural resources even if it takes destroying 1000's years of culture and will sacrifice their people to accomplish their goals.
Values like destroying Iraq and Libya . Supporting terrorists in Syria .Jailing journalists like Julian Assange for telling the truth
Oh those values
@@trevorcrook5753 Well said!
These NPS`s posting on here with their point of view that they have gotten from watching CNN all of their lives are something else.
@@luffebassen They are brain dead
"Even the very mediocre leadership of the free world realised that we had no other choice but to call Putin's bluff" - Kasparov tells it exactly like it is. More than that, many people of the free world remember placating the Nazis, leading later to WW2, and voters want their leaders to be strong this time. Everyone also likes an underdog, and Ukraine is proving itself more than worthy of the support and resources we are providing to them.
Go study Putin - he does not bluff. Study Russians more and you will come to understand how much they hate Nazi stuff. There is not a family in Russia who did not lose someone to the Austrian Painter. Banderof is the Ukraine national hero and guess what he did for a living - go read history.
Nope.. I'm Danish and Russia never did anything to me.
On the other hand leaders here in the west and unelected people like Klaus schwab are daily affecting my life in a negative way.
So I root for Russia to win and to drag this operation out to choke the EU out.
This war, serious demographic problems and Chinese debt have already broken the globalist world order. There is no need to choose between Putin and Schwab. They are both done except the latter still thinks he is relevant.
@@davidelliott5843 Yes there 100% IS a very good reason to pick between the two.
Klaus has already announced what he has in stored for us.
Putin has NEVER mentioned anything like that.
He is protecting Russia from outside threats, unlike the traitors we have in Europe.
So i will take me chances with Putin over ANY elected or UNelected leader like Klaus from the West.
Thank you very much.
@@luffebassen How do you say 'I'm alright Jack' in Danish. Also, what are you hoping for in the end of a situation where the EU is choked out?
Garry is a top notch individual, always glad to hear his views. Props to him promoting human rights as well!
Cheers!
Lol
Very smart individual
Gary is speaking from the US... on human rights, lol. Where was Gary when the US, NATO invaded Afghanistan on a lie, yes its a lie, when 2 planes hit 2 towers but 3 towers fell and blamed it a guy called 'bin laden', has anyone seen him? Then Iraq on another lie about WMD, then on Libya again lie about uranium, then Syria.. where the US is bombing Syria, fighting alongside ISIS. Over a million men, women and children have been killed, so where was Gary. Probably just playing chess,minding his own business. Afraid ppl might say, hey if you don't like it then go back to Russia?
You could have just said you support fascism
@@tonyatgoogle6076 you sound like you're some conspiracy theorist, or just another pro putin troll. (:
A good, brave, well informed and highly intelligent man with a huge heart
For those who haven’t yet read his book “Winter is Coming” it’s an outstanding read. Kasparov knew exactly who Vladimir Putin was early on in his “presidency”.
I think anyone who knew of his life and his attitude to the fall of the soviet union, have not been at all surprised. He won’t give up easily, has a massive ego and is likely to take his country down with him unless stopped by his own ilk.
No need to put the word "presidency" in quotation marks. Here, the word means the same as it does everywhere else.
Try "The Shock Doctrine" Naomi Klein.
It is a great read,
@@simonmultiverse6349 Putin is a dictator, not a president.
Great conversation. Human. Genuine. Nothing artificial. No hidden agenda. Why is this so rare?
Garry is a very rare individual.
@@davidcopson5800 He brought a degree of comfort to Ukraine and everyone beyond Ukraine who is disturbed by this insanity. No politician that I've seen has risen to this level. Obviously aware of his stature in the chess world, but never knew him. Very inspiring, though he makes apparent the leadership vacuum in our world led by sociopaths and cardboard cutouts. Gives us pause as to whom we elect and why we elect them.
No hidden agenda? Hahahahhahahhahaha
@@Markpaul9 he has a position and it's clearly stated.. versus calculation, deceit, manipulation.
Thank you Gary Kasporov for your bravery in publicly opposing the murderer Putin. People like you can make change happen inside Russia. Be very careful about your security, we all know what Putin is capable of.
Nh6 sacrifice against Karpow 1990. This man should be heard!
Don't take tea with strangers
His point that for the first time Putin's bluff has been called and he doesn't know what to do. All his life Putin has been making big threats "We will do this" "We will do that" and his opponents have folded and backed down . He is now not getting away with big threats
The high heel wearing closet homosexual US puppet clown Zelenskyy is the rear murderer for sending Ukrainian young men to their senseless deaths and that is a fact.
Putin is not as capable as the US who can murdered thousands of innocent Muslims by invading the Muslim land.
"Compare the picture we saw today of President Zelensky in Izyum, surrounded by soldiers... to the guy who is who has never been near his troops since 2014, except on a victory day parade and stays at the end of a long table from even his closest advisers, what a contrast." Gen Ben Hodges.
nie propaganda shota ...for the naive and ignorant
While Putin was at the SCO meeting with world leaders, doing big business and reaching alliances with other countries. President Zelensky was in Izyum, surrounded by soldiers making a Marketing campaign videoclip. Now, that's what I call a huge contrast. It feels like Putin is not a smart man, right?

What an amazing interview love ❤️ from Ireland 🇮🇪
I was already a big fan of Gary in the days of his matches against Karpov, and now I have even more respect for him. Compare him with Karpov, who is now a loyal member of the Russian Duma, and thus shares responsibility for this war on Ukraine.
Kasparov was always better. A better player, and a better man.
Karpov is not responsible for Putin's actions , unless you can present this verifiable fact.
@@pauldow1648 He is a member of Putin's party, United Russia, and of Duma. He expressed support of the annexation of Crimea by the Russian Federation and voted in the Duma for measures related to Ukraine invasion. For his political role and Putin support, he has been put on EU sanctions list.
Of course he is reponsabile for supporting Putin, and the war against Ukraine.
@@al-rediph solid argument, factually based. Didn't know this about Karpov.
@@letXeqX thanks. Is still kind of sad.
BTW, 44 Russian chess players, including Ian Nepomniachtchi, signed a public letter in April to stop the war:
"We are against any military action on the territory of Ukraine and call for an immediate ceasefire and a peaceful decision to the conflict through the path of dialogue and diplomatic negotiations"
He's so right - Ukraine is fighting for all of us and our freedom.
He made several great points, especially how Putin should fear dragging NATO into this. For if he does that, it will be catastrophic for Russia.
Wrong! Very very wrong. NATO is the main problem! Leaving aside Nukes, NATO would lose and lose badly in a conventional war with Russia. Only exception being if Russia ever tried going westward, then it would be over extended. However thankfully Russia has no desire to go beyond incapacitating and containing Ukraine and has zero interest or designs on foreign adventures.. West is fading badly.
@@dublintvcontent2023 ....Russia is a corrupt oppressive 2nd world power that coincidentally has lots of nukes. As with all dictatorships corruption leads to inefficiency and incompetence. The Russian army has been shown to be a paper tiger lacking morale and discipline. A barbaric rabble. The Russian armed forces wouldn’t last 5 minutes in a direct confrontation with NATO.....
@@dublintvcontent2023 Do you have any idea of how many fighter-bombers NATO could send to Ukraine ?
@@dublintvcontent2023 You would be right about NATO without the US, but not only is the US the main force in NATO, the US is strongly engaged on Ukraine's side. You should stop smoking Russian dope товарищ easpaig impiriúil!

The war is lost - not just in Kharchov, but in the Crimea and Sea of Azov and Donbas.
Then its not kharkov, its kharkiv again then. Ukrainian. Not russian.
@@m.j.9318 Many of these areas are majority Russian speaking, even when the inhabitants are not ethnic Russians. Hell, Zelensky is a native Russian speaker. The language is not the issue.
@@TheLucidDreamer12 it DOES make a political statement when you say it over and over again. Your view supports russias propaganda when they say "in essence the whole warsaw pact is all russian territory" . Its not. Konstantinople was a different city after it became Istanbul and began to rot for hundreds of years.
😆🤣🤣🤣😂
@guilamo123 Watch out for the Biden Bots.
It it important for me to be reminded that there are some Russians who are thoughtful, quality human beings.But unfortunately there is a shortage of individuals like that in Russian government and also in the general population of Russia. The famous quote applies""Every Nation gets the government it deserves"
And should get whatever is coming down for them. I will not be losing any sleep. They have allowed themselves to be ruled by autocrats for the last 100 years.
Biden is deserved by Americans?!
"I think now we are at a point in history where, even the very mediocre leadership of the free world,
realized that we had no other choice but to call Putine's bluff." ~ Garry Kasparov
Sure. But because they are mediocre, therefore prone to cowardice, they do not dare to call Putler's bluff - a bluff. And even less confront him. So the "appease-policy", which is pure failure.
@@tamasgyorffy1 ~Putins whole life is about bluffing...he is always making up stories and believes his own lies. I'm surprised he doesn't pull his horde out of Ukraine and say it was a success..."no more nazis" LOL

Yes Gary I agree... Ukraine has shown us "We have values worth fighting for"
Sure Nazis have value
Gary's values exemplify USAID-style freedumb.
@@elsonck2523 I'm Irish and know what it is to fight for your freedom from a neighbor who disrespects you and uses its larger force to deny you your rights. Ukraine has a similar problem, but like Ireland it will prevail in the long run.
Liberal democracy? Globalisation in unipolar world? Wake up.
@@thomasjosullivan9179 But the Ukraine has given its sovereignty now to the US so where's the freedom in that? Yanukovich (edit) was working with the EU back in 2014 and the deal they were offering was shite (they wanted pension funds and privatization) so he turned to Russia. That's when everything went sideways with the US fomenting a coup d'etat. That is not freedom. That is controlled capture. Now they are being used to fight a US proxy war and losing all their young men in a useless unwinnable war.
Gary Kasparov is not only a Chess champion. He's also a champion fighting for freedom for the entire world. Check mate.
Garry, thanks so pleased I watched this! Thanks once again! Love from New Zealand.
I hope one day sensible people like Mr. Kasparov will seize power in Russia, and introduce democracy. Everyone’s lives would improve, except for the oligarchs and Putin’s.
Democracy takes decades to establish and the Russian people are clearly not willing to defend it. Big part of the reason why we are where we are today is that Russians decided long ago not to give a F about what is being done in their name.
@@thomascuvillier7250 I hate to agree with you, but I do 😞
No , because Kasparov does'nt have same interest than Russian people thats why he moved to america to be close to people like him .
Sadly enough, the smart people are massively outnumbered by dumb people.
@@jjuninho3265 Kasparov was a very known opposition politican in Russia. He was even emprissioned by Putin. Do you speak on the behalf of the Russian people that they shouldn't have the freedom to choose their own leaders?
Garry missed one essential: The INJURED count for more than the dead. The latter can be honored -- and then, largely, forgotten.
No-one can look past seriously injured veterans -- who roam society telling their tales. Politically, they are dynamite.
Because Putin did not declare his project as a 'war' -- Russian contract soldiers are not held to war-time codes of conduct -- to wit -- they can quit.
They just can't quit while on operations within Ukraine. THIS is why every imaginable gambit is researched as to how to get back home.
Lastly, and this must be emphasized, Putin is not paying his boys Combat Pay. On paper, his boys are deemed to still be back in Mother Russia.
So, Putin has it going both ways: The boys can't quit, they're in Ukraine; the boys don't deserve Combat Pay because they're still in their barracks. (!)
See how that works? Cute.
Payments are due in rubles -- which Putin can print at will -- yet the cheapskate STILL does not pay off. (!)
Of course, the Russian medical system, as a whole, is now over-loaded with wounded veterans.
In the meantime, Putin's critical war plants are in hiatus because they can't obtain micro-chips. Oops.
Actually, Gary did mention the potential of returning soldiers to destabilise the government that sent them to hell in the first place. I hope they prove him right ✅!
This is completely incoherent.
That's a beautiful Catch 22
So true. The injuries will have a longlasting efgect on Rissia
@@romanjimenezgil unfortunately for the veterans they will be ignored (hidden) by the politburo and society just like the American Viet Nam vets and Russia's Afghanistan vets. Nobody has time for those who fought for a losing side
I remember getting a Kasparov electronic chess set for Christmas one year and it was one of the best presents I ever received.
Hearing such a great and respected man say exactly how it is benefits the free world greatly.
If you look at the map of countries which have sanctioned Russia, not single nation south of the equator has sanctioned Russia (with the exception of Australia which is basically a European country). Also the two largest nations, India and China have not sanctioned Russia. Ukraine is to be congratulated on recent successes, but please do not try to bite off more than you can chew.
@@rohitparikh8132 China and India are doing thier parts. They are buying orc fuel at knockdown prices that don't allow profit for the orcs. They also buy other orc resources at low , low prices while selling their own to the orca at much higher prices. This all adds to the strain put on ruzzia and speeds up the decline of the fascist state.
All countries that have any relevance or are not under the control of dictators take part in the sanctions. Many other countries send aid, support and weapons to Ukraine all the while milking ruzzia for everything they can get .
@@rohitparikh8132 you can add New Zealand to the list as well. but I think that's about it. 10 smaller Pacfic nations voted to suspend Russia from the UNHCR, but no actual sanctions I'm aware of.
@@cloraformsgood5340 China and India are definitely NOT doing their parts. Refusing to meet/deal with Russia at a government level, even if not actively sanctioning companies would be a huge step forward.
Slava Ukraine, much ❤️Kasparov
Putin severely underestimated Ukraine. He brought war to their land and he can't complain that they're fighting back. He set this train in motion and now he has to deal with the fallout at home, counted in dead russian soldiers and angry mothers. This is what comes of underestimating and disrespecting your opponent. If you're wrong you'll regret it. Any victory will be pyrrhic and whoever comes after Putin will definitely think twice before trying again. SLAVA UKRAINE
Garry Kasparov master in both on and off chess boards.

Nice to hear my chess hero again. He's not brilliant only on the board, but also in the area of political analysis.
Great interview, thank you❤️🇺🇦
An incredible man, great interview
The loss of so many young Russian men is going to really hurt the economy and the Nation's attitude towards the Government. There's no way the losses can be hidden forever, eventually the people will find out. With so many dead, everyone will know someone who's lost a Son.
Given how their recruitment is going, perhaps many will know someone who's lost a grandfather as well...
Putin’s successor will simply denounce his war in Ukraine.
You mean the loss of so many Ukrainian young men is detrimental for Ukraine to survive, who will lead Ukraine once they surrender ???

@@QuantumAnonPlus...haven't surrendered for hundreds of years and never will you Putin troll.
So very glad to hear Gary Kasparov assessment of Ukraine’s fight for the freedom of democracy. Also we must keep the war in Ukraine front and foremost in our minds and not relegate it to the back pages. Bravo Gary Kasparov.
"freedom and democracy" usually mean bombing, killing and steal7ng...
Ask vietnam, niquaragva, venezuela, chile, yugoslavia, k8ngo, s8malia, iraq, libya...etc.
Understated... One of the greatest chess players doesn't understand war? I think he's just humble.
Chess is one on one. War is much more complicated. Bughouse chess, especially with teams of more than two, is closer and I'm sure he'd be good at that.
Being smart doesn't mean you know everything. Being REALLY smart and self-aware like Kasparov means you are even more aware of what you don't know. Unfortunately most politicians (even smart ones) aren't very good at admitting they aren't subject matter experts.
Slava Ukraine and huge respect to Garry Kasparov.
"I'm not sure whether we can ever compensate them for the sacrifices they have made, not only for their own country, but for freedom around the world." So true...
You say "slava" to ppl which publically accept NAZIs into regular army ???
Where you see "slava" ?
Thank you
I’ve always found Kasparov’s views to have credence as he’s used to weighing up risks
Higly appreciated and most of all his last words about his responsibity .Somewhere ,somehow all Russians citizens are responsible one way or another.I know most of them didn't want this invasion and there is also a lot of resistance too.Russians are also a victim of Putin's regime but all these years they just look away when Putin committed all these atrocities.Invasion of Chechenya,Georgia ,Cirmea ,journalists killings.There were mild protests but not enough.I know that its easy to talk and that Russia is not a real democracy but it was the same thing in Ukraine and during Maidan the Ukrainians decided that this should stop.More than 140 Ukranians gave their lives in 2014 for a better tomorrow.Did Russians try that hard to get rid of Putin?
Kudos to Garry Kasparov… he is a good man, and brilliant too. Slava Ukraini !
My first time seeing something from Kyiv Post and I am now a subscriber. Mine host is quietly spoken and poses respectful intelligent questions, which are not leading to a predetermined position. The subject of the interview is Gary Kasparov, surely one of the bravest and most sincere people who truley can be described as a humanist in the vein of the great Russian dissidents Solzhenitsyn and Asimov (apologies for not mentioning the many other past and present). Gary I must confess that my chess hero as a teenager was Bobby Fischer but that didn't do me any good! Gary I hope you get this message and I wish you well. Cheers from Jim in Australia.
In the 70's I used my army leave to watch Gary play in Texas. Sadly, he was not able to come. I've always been impressed with him, not only as possibly the greatest grandmaster of all time but as a thoughtful and compassionate person.
Great war analysis from a chess player point of view. Seems better than some analysis of retired generals.
Gary doesn’t know shit about being shot at. He’s good at chess. He should stick to yapping about that.

That joke has a very chequered history.
The world needs mor people like Kasparov
Fantastic Interview!
I really agree with Kasparovs view of everything about Putin and this war. Just like Pavlovsky, Chodorkovskij, Browder, Karra-Murza any many others. IMO, most of the western leaders should bow their heads in shame for their absolute spineless approach towards Russia that's been going on far too long and ultimately indirectly caused hundred of thousands of lives. And of course, no one will be held responsible for it.
RIP Anna Politkovskaya. An absolute legend
@Gordon Brown point is several Western countries based their energy supply on megalomaniac Putins cheap and easy gas and oil supplies, making them easy hostages of his ongoing imperialism.
Crimea 2014 should have been a final wake up call..
Especially Merkel ignored ongoing warnings from Central Europeans, and USA.
In typical German manner, her greed and arrogance were more important 🤷🏼
Mr. Kasparov's outreach on behalf of Ukraine is wonderful to know of. May his good work continue.
Probably Casparov does not know nothing about NAZIs in regular ukro army and political structures ?
Or know but plays dumb ?
After all hebs political activist funded by west

Gary is a champion chess player. His analysis of any situation maybe topnotch.
Russians were never threatened by UKR, only Putin is. This is not the fight they want to do, their hearts are not into this. The Russian Generals know this now. UKR is fighting for their way of life, their home land, they're willing to give it all and then some. This is a huge difference in when you have a grinding war.
Do you know what the war is about cause I do not think you do?
@@chriscalderin6677 It's about Putin trying to get the ol USSR back together and consolidate his gains in Crimea. Putin is worried about Russians looking at UKR's "freedom" and is worried they want some of that. Also, Putin, not the citizens so much, is worried about UKR joining NATO. Why would UKR want to join NATO? I wonder why?

I love Kasparovs insights!
A great interview with an intelligent, articulate and compassionate man
He's political activist. Therefore you said something which is 8ximor8n.
To win at chess requires being able to 'think on your feet' and being extremely detail-oriented. The intellectual commitment to master that game makes GK an excellent observer and commentator about any situation that is vulnerable to being analyzed, like putin and his war. It's not clear why, but it's apparent that most citizens in russia have no idea they will be held responsible for allowing their leadership to lash out, needlessly, against an innocent next-door neighbor country who was not creating any problems for russia.
I have one of his books, and a chess set with his name on it.
He is a hero
Nope.
He is well funded political activist.
Russian labeled this kind of activist as "FOREIGN AGENT"
@@tokyo.peking ....and who exactly are you?, a well funded Putin activist?
Gary is 1 million times better than me. Thank You for being so kind.
Great man and my favourite chess player and always will be.God bless you Gary.
i absolutely agree with mr. Kasparov.
Great guy and info. Ukraine victory and Russia unconditional defeat. Fight for freedom
Bravo Gary Kasparov freedom is the word!
He's been warning us for a long time. And here we are. But I think the result has been better than he could have ever imagined.
Garry is an all time hero, always having correctly observed, warned for and criticized Russia’s totalitarian regime under Putler! Slava Ukraini!!! 🇺🇦🇳🇱🇺🇦🇳🇱🇺🇦
PS, nice to see Russia’s National Republican Army flag behind him! ⬜️🟦⬜️
Much respect to Garry!
Great Man!
G. KASPAROV THANK YOU
FOR ALL YOUR COURAGE ! ❤👍👍
Kasparov demonstrates not only deep intelligence but what is even more important, respect for human life and freedom. Respect, thank you for your wise words, Mister Kasparov
Who was the russian general who said in early March: "If Europe is going to back Ukraine, you cannot win this war (speaking to other russian officers), caught on video, and broadcasted briefly?
what has russia not lied about?
The day it was obvious that Ukraine will fight back it was over for Russia.
@@grampadad snake island, the ghost of Kiev, the Nazi's...
But they are simply heroically raping and torturing innocent civilians, and later regrouping!
Just ask megalomaniac putin..
Courageous statement.
Garry is a courageous man. He was on the chessboard and he is in his political opposition to Putin.
Kudos to Garry Kasparov
At this moment, I can not see a person more suitet to rule Russia after war than Garry Kasparov.
"The very mediocre leadership of the free world." That's the main point. That said in Europe this has much to do with the long streched leadership of Merkel. Strategic thinking slept away all over Europe. Safety wasn't any more an issue. And that's the in reason why Merkel thought she could make a sacrifice of German energy safety to get the Greens satisfied. Shutdown of all the well functioning and clima neutral nuklear power was a horrible mistake concerning freedom, economics and prosperity in Europe.
I wonder if Germany is singing... Regrets, I've had a few... Well, just turn the switch back on. Easy.
Merkels reign will go down as a disaster
Putin restarted the Cold War 15 years ago. But Western democratic leaders refused to acknowledge this reality because it would have required them to change their spending priorities, which would in turn have called for sacrifice from their people. No Western leader since the Reagan/Bush/Thatcher years has had the nerve to call for sacrifice.
The Greens, leadership ar eon the FSB payroll. They benefitted from decommissioning nuclear. Greens will be a dirty word, post Russian collpase. No more financing
@@buddyrojek9417 any links for this issue?
Amazing talk
Congratulations
Kasparov - what a man!
You're guy ?
Exactly, NATO could send several top notch divisions and Russians wouldn’t do anything because they know they would lose badly
Holding Russian leadership accountable for war crimes & crimes against
humanity will be the most desirable end. The entire evil regime must fall
in order for the Russian people to have a chance of establishing a truly free
Russia that can become a part of the free world of nations. Thank God
for the brave Ukrainian soldiers willing to stand up to monsters!
what about usa and eu war crimes remenber irak maybe
@@vincentquintero6464 US murder machine destroyed so many lives and countrys, 34 wars since Korea to Aghanistan where they jumped out and jumped in Ukraine . Do people really wanna see Russia destroyed like Irak ,or Syria or Joegoslavia ,i dont think so and Russia has every right to do what they do remember the Cuba crisis !
@@jonaswhale6451 i agree 100%
@@vincentquintero6464 ....so, that cancels out a nation of courageous people fighting for their survival?...so, you hate USA for their war crimes, and what your comment implies USA imperialism, but Putin gets a pass....wow, what stellar intellectual and human being you are, that what aboutism is just so brilliant, NOT!
Kasparov is too modest. He’s a FAR better general than most people in uniform, Russian or Western
Best comedy act i have seen for ages.
I have followed your opinions for some time Gary, I just have one thought regarding the current situation. The Kharkiv action is important to satisfy the need of many short sighted people who lust for instant gratification, the ones who thought Putin was winning when gaining ground no matter how slowly and with massive losses. Certainly the speed of the
action was enabled by the drawing of Russian forces to Kherson but I believe the real damage to Putin will still be in the south as there are some 25000 now unsupported troops who will be transmitting their plight home to Russia, this cannot be hidden by the regime and hopefully will fuel an uprising maybe before they're slowly crushed and humiliated? It may take a little longer as you suggested Servastopol? But it will happen, Putin is finished and believe he knows it, I will not be surprised if he runs to a despot haven, North Korea perhaps?
Yes, and for the ones who were hoping for a stalemate so they could justify selling out the Ukrainians, for their own benefit. Looking at you German, French govts, and Henry Kissenger.
4:20 That line made me spit my drink laughing. From USA, some of us appreciate a good one liner.
Y3s.
I like word "mediocre" word.
It suits Garry.
