The Russian War in Ukraine: A Conversation with Garry Kasparov (Episode
Vložit
- čas přidán 9. 03. 2022
- In this episode of the podcast, Sam Harris speaks with Garry Kasparov about Putin’s war of aggression in Ukraine. They discuss Putin’s larger objectives, the perception of the war inside Russia, whether US and EU foreign policy is to blame, the expansion of NATO, American weakness, Republican support for Putin, the sanctions regime, whether the US and EU should impose a no-fly zone over Ukraine, whether to openly seek regime change in Russia, how we can avoid WW3, what post-Putin government in Russia might look like, Western economic entanglement with autocracies, and other topics.
Garry Kasparov is a Russian pro-democracy leader, Chairman of the Human Rights Foundation, business speaker and author, and former world chess champion. He has been a contributing editor to The Wall Street Journal since 1991 and in 2013 he was named a Senior Visiting Fellow at the Oxford-Martin School. He is the author of several books including How Life Imitates Chess, and his most recent book, Winter Is Coming: Why Vladimir Putin and the Enemies of the Free World Must Be Stopped.
Garry will be sharing more information about these topics in an upcoming Briefing with the Ukrainian Foreign Minister, Dmytro Kuleba & Soldiers from the Frontlines, hosted by Renew Democracy Initiative, a non-partisan, not-for-profit organization dedicated to defending liberal democracy at home and abroad.

Sam, consider please to open these episodes for the russians, we just can’t pay for the subscription because of total financial block on all the operations abroad...
And just so everybody know, a lot of russians, especially who have a good education and more then average income, hate Putin and totally against his support and this horrible war, which already became a catastrophy for our country....
The rural conservative people support the war, the college liberals support no war. Just a usual day in politics.
First you should overthrow your khuylo! Go outside and start protesting!
@@maxfromukraine1630 That doesn't really go so well in totalitarian countries. Hardly even works in the west.
Everybody of good will is welcome to subscribe without making a donation.

@@JamesBlevins0 how?
Hope Sam would consider making the entire interview public, because the topic is that important..
Or you could just subscribe.
@@Brian-vk1hm Should the Ukrainians and Russians subscribe too? This is too important not to be made available for everyone.
maybe he doesnt have other sources of income and is low on money
@@grigorijefimovic1087 maybe he can get a job.
Right. My free subscription is up and now they want to pay using the scholarship (discount). I just want to hear your input Sam, I'm not made of money lol Good work though.
"Dictators never ask 'why?' - It's always, 'Why not?' - What a perfectly constructed observation.
You mean Z3lensky, the d1ctator who has banned 4 opposition TV channels, banned 10 opposition parties including the major opposition party, had journalists disappeared, kidnapped opposition mayors, funded the Nazi Azov battalion, had his military attack ethnic Russians in the D0nbass since his 2014 coup resulting in 14,000 civilian deaths.and has worn Natsi symbols when speaking on TV? That dict4tor?
You perfectly described progressives...
Sam with all due respect, we'd rather have ads and the full podcast. The ad-free model doesn't work when you're hiding the bulk of the podcast behind a paywall
Bro you just have to email him and it’s free
Sam, please consider adding this to your PSAs...after a week or so perhaps? I am a subscriber, so I have listened to the whole fascinating discussion; everyone needs to hear this.
Cheers from Kyiv. This is the best guest you could have had for this topic, imo. Thanks so much for this
Thank you! I think of the citizens of your country every day (sometimes all day). The courage and bravery of your People is awe inspiring. In many ways, Ukrainians are fighting for democracy in the USA too. I sent a modest donation through a trusted site. I wish our president would get on the ball and speed up the delivery of weapons and humanitarian aid. I can't imagine what you are going through. Please take care of each other and be safe. With much love from America.
We are indebted to your people for the rest of our lives. Thank you! Support from Serbia
Please stay safe. 🇺🇦 from 🇪🇸. ❤
You ukrainians are an inspiration and we feel your pain. Stay safe. Greetings from Finland.
@@jovanjanjic9029 I thought you guys support Russia, not anymore?
Thank you! It's nice to hear as a Polish person someone stating clearly that Baltic and Slavic states had their own very rational reasons for joining NATO and we weren't the ones posing a threat. Something very obvious for us regardless of political affiliation. And it's so absurd to hear some left leaning commentators in the West talking about American imperialism and Western colonialism but then denying our nations independence in thought process as if were fooled or made to join NATO.
Missile silos in Poland and the Baltics aren't a threat to Russia?
@@aidanmagill6769 Why did these countries join NATO and allow them? What country were they afraid of?
It doesnt matter what a geopolitically irrelevant nation like Poland wants. The US decides to admit nations and it was driving by arms dealers lobbying for NATO expansion. This causes security issues because when NATO expands, the new member state has to buy a lot of very expensive weaponry. This weaponry is aimed at Russia, who then has to react otherwise it is unprotected.
@@als5482
It does matter what Poland wants. The US did't force them to join NATO, they chose to.
Russia has nukes. NATO ain't invading. Believing otherwise is absurd. Might as well nuke the moon in case aliens live there. Equally as plausible.
@@hhiippiittyy no it doesnt. Irrelevant nations like Poland dont have a say on matters of global governance and international security. NATO was expanded to increase american hegemony over Europe. It presents an existential threat to Russia, and the rest of the world, purely by virtue of the great risk of nuclear war it entails.
Thank you Sam and Garry.
Dude your channel is amazing 👏
thanks for dsupporting nzis
Absolutely loved this interview unfortunately I couldn't get the second half.. a Huge Sam Harris and Garry Kasparov fan from Kenya🇰🇪
Get a subscription, if you can't afford one they give you one for free if you explain your circumstance

No ill just move on in youtube that's far easier

Why does everyone assume it's a money or signing-up issue? I don't have his full version because for some dumb reason they don't make it available on Google Podcasts, and I'm not going to have a 2nd podcast player just for one show.
Sam, please, make whole episode free, this is so important, we could share it....
I just finished listening the interview and was fascinated and illustrated on the topic. Kasparov is not only an exceptional World Class Chess champion, but also an admirable analyst. Hope that this conversation is broadly accessible because it is very insightful and interesting. Thanks for the tip Tony.
These are two of the best perspectives to hear right now, and I encourage subscription to Sam's podcast, but I'm shocked this isn't the deemd a free PSA when the topic involves avoiding the potential for imminent nuclear war! COVID episodes were PSA worthy, but to me the existential risk and potential benefit involved here is incomparable.
They don’t say anything unique. It’s the same shut the MSM is pumping out all day.
Greed.
this isn’t all that, it’s just one perspective from a russian who hates putin. it’s not unbiased at all
The podcast is free, just email Sam and get it
While this is also very serious, with COVID, everyone needs to take direct action.
Saw the name Kasparov, and my childhood chess studying days came back to me. What a wonderful guest. Thank you Sam
Very wrong. This man is a traitor and sings along to those who pay more. Not the best example for your children
Saw his mothers maiden name "Weinstein" and thought of something else.
Does nobody know that Kasparov is a lunatic who believes in New Chronology, an insane conspiracy that all of world history is wrong and has been manipulated to benefit some elite cabal? Why is Sam talking to this guy? Why does nobody seem to be aware of this?
@@user-gn7xm2sd4i I started this podcast with an open mind wanting to hear Gary's take but it was so disappointed at just how vapid and meaningless every single point he made was, he didn't address anything with substance, at all. "It's just Russian propaganda, Western liberal hegemony is good, putin is mafia, there is no logic behind it." You'd think he'd at least be the tinitest bit aware of Dugin or some of the intellectual leadership behind modern Russian nationalism but he's pretty much as useful as a school teacher who watches CNN and reads the NYT every day and just blindly repeats *their* propaganda.
Please make the full episode of this available on YT. Please.
Please Sam you gotta release the full version for free this time. The topic is too important.
I’ve been ignored 3 times now trying to get the free subscription offer.
Not even a denial return email.
Money is always first especially if you have a lot of money.
I think you should upload the full version of this episode to youtube. I know you did such PSA episode just recently but the situation really calls for it now. I'm finding it much harder to share this with everyone when I can't easily link to the full length episode.
Yeah, seems like one of the most important ones of all to do a PSA on. Sure Covid sucked but this has the potential for 100's of millions to billions dead if it goes sideways.
Thank you Sam. In times of horrible geopolitical chaos I value the insights of your pod
Hey Timbah, love your videos!
@@whatsthatnoise5955 hey! That's very kind, thank you
Sam, considering you published each episode regarding Covid-19 for free on CZcams, it seems out of step for you not to do the same regarding a news story which, as you and your guests often rightfully point out, could mean the end of the human race due to nuclear catastrophe.
I agree, but you can ask for a subscription for free, "for any reason" and they are granted "no questions asked". I think the reason "to understand geopolitics" is a good reason.
There isn't going to be a nuclear war.
This is the first time I’ve listened to Sam in a while. And THANK GOD he brought the old intro music back
This was a really good listen you should have him back on in a couple of weeks Sam b
Listening to full episode as a subscriber. Thanks Sam! So curious for your take
Is there more mention of Hungary than a single sentence at the first parts? maybe I'll beg for 1 y free sub if....
This conversation was wonderful and so useful. I just subscribed, after listening to Sam's content for several years now. Totally deserves some of our support for all the hard work he puts into these podcasts. Thank you again!
Thank you! Great conversation
That is the most coherent picture I've yet heard on the subject.
Really gave me some useful new information. Thank you very much for sharing.
Interesting perspective. Can't say I agree with the remarks on a potential no fly zone. He may well be right when he says he "doesn't think" Generals and soliders will fight the US/NATO...the problem is if he's wrong the down side can be catastrophic.
No no, now is the time to depose Putin! We must start WW3 before its too late...
It doesn’t really matter what the soldiers do in the end does it ? They don’t have a big red button or control of Putin
You can't let Putin use Russia's nukes as a kind of Trump card. If he uses them, that's on him - and Moscow will be a crater 5 minutes later. If Putin uses them, he's committing suicide and taking the rest of us with him. Again that's on him. We should do the right thi g anyway, regardless of Putin's bluff.
That's exactly the soft spot that Putin took advantage of when he invaded Ukraine. This is Garry's point, this invasion was made possible because of this kind of soft positions. Putin knows that the moment he uses a tactical nuke or enters at his will in conflict with NATO, he is done and Russia is done as he envision it, so he's bluffing and we folded every time.
@@benjaminodonnell258 I hate to break the bad news to you, but the bad guy having nukes empowers him.
The introduction did not do him justice. Gary Kasparov is in contention to be possibly the best chess player in history. His contribution to the chess world can only be described in volumes. This man is a genius on and off the board, and I'm ecstatic to hear the rest of the podcast as soon as I finish this irrelevant comment.
He should have stayed in the realms of chess. As Thomas sowell said, people who excel in one field have a propensity to assume they can excel in their fields. Giving rise to pseudo intellectuals as their words have no consequences, they can blabber whatever they want
@@thinkwhileeatingpasta5217 If Kasparov has the intelligence and drive to rise the the very, very top of chess he probably can excel in other areas.
"everyday we delay our response to dictators the price goes up"
Is it possible to buy a single episode?
Sam tried to get him to see the counter argument which was simply brushed off and Sam didn’t push at all. Weak one sided conversation. Disappointed, we need rational conversations today, not one sided circle jerks.
Agreed.
Some of these comments are bonkers.
Most people that post on CZcams are deeply flawed. If I were looking for 40-year-olds that live in their basement: I’d start here.
@@johnboettcher1962 Not supported by any statistics, but hey, keep running with the narrative if it makes you feel superior
Russian spam bots are in full force.
@@NoActuallyGo-KCUF-Yourself exactly.
@@NoActuallyGo-KCUF-Yourself It's so incredibly convenient to just dismiss any opposing views as "spam bots". But hey, keep considering yourself a sophisticated and non-biased thinker.
i like this. I have been looking for your audiobook that you narrated
Don’t really agree with… the EU is “toothless organization afraid of its own shadow” (Kasparov) and “they buy a lot of gas” (Harris). It’s an inaccurate political analysis. The EU is a unique model of international cooperation that guaranteed over 70 years of peace and stability in Europe (something that never happened in history). The same certainly can’t be said about America and their approach towards foreign politics.
Clearly the two can’t be compared - the EU is not a state nor a federation, it doesn’t have an army and it wasn’t created for this purpose. To suggest that the lack of “muscles” on the side of the EU had anything to do with this is wrong. The EU changed the lives of everyone who lived in Europe for the better, in so many ways - and it’s an essential mediator between the West and the East and Middle East. Other than this, it was a useful conversation.
I love how people rebuke Sam for charging for his podcasts. I assume all of you work for free?
Ii don't begrudge him charging for his podcasts but for $240au a year it doesn't stack up. I'm pretty sure this is a common criticism.
Great conversation!
Gary is maybe a little cavalier on the topic of a no fly zone and the potential response but otherwise great convo. These days, it’s just refreshing to hear this conversations had with an appropriate tone.
amazing to hear Sam and Garry's insights on this topic, thanks guys!
Garry Kasparov is always interesting.
Surprising guest Sam! 👌
Hi Sam Please consider making the whole podcast available here....
Is there anyone who can explain why the full version of Sam's podcast isn't available on Google Podcasts?
It seem not fair to end this free part of your conversation with mr. Kasparov right before you talk about closing the sky over Ukraine.
It works good as cliffhanger, I get it, but for people in Ukraine closing the sky is crucial to survival. It would be very valuable to left free to access such an intelligent conversation on this topic.
Writing this from Tokmak, Ukraine, occupied by rusia, or as we often call it here mordor.
From what I heard today, missles are coming from the ground in Russia, so a no fly zone wouldn't stop as much as we would hope.
High tech US drones and anti-aircraft weapons should suffice in keeping Russia from air dominance in Ukraine. However, the missile strikes are coming from warships in the Black Sea and on the ground in those parts of Ukraine under Russian control not aircraft.
@@Mr_Rob_otto And you were correct.
Really wish you would have a free "with ads" option for people that want to hear the full convo and are not able to pay the subscription fee.
Even if episodes were dropped late, or some other trade-off(s).
you can email the sam harris podcast and get a yearly subscription for free no questions asked indefinitely if you cant pay. He has said this close to a million times.
@@car6120 one with ads will be better for Sam as well
@@swapblue if you're entire definition of 'better' is financial wealth then yes you would be right. but he doesnt want that and i am very confused as to why anyone one else would want that when he is offering them for free without ads so that only those who can and who want to are paying him. So much more ethical, clean and nicer.
Agree, this is the most important topic today, at least here in Europe/Latvia where I am, that he could've released a full episode in this case rather than end with that cliffhanger...
@@swapblue Sam has said many, many times that he works very deliberately to keep his content free from advertisers if at all possible.
Thank you for this
I think it’s greedy and selfish to keep this conversation from those who don’t have the $180 a year to hear it.
It’s important to hear.
It’s important to be able to do that for anyone who wants to know.
People losing too much from inflation today also want to know about how possible it may be for them to be vaporized.
the same guy who says russia cant take all of ukraine, is saying they wont stop after they take ukraine.
I respect that this is your job, and your right to earn a buck. But would really have liked this particular episode to be open in full to all listeners, not just us that are subscribers. Millions of Russians that that would never considering subscribing need to hear this! Thank you for yet another brilliant and important analysis from two brilliant minds. 🙏🏻

@@skorlupkaskorlupkovich2415 what opinion am I disregarding exactly?
I recently returned to the US from Ukraine. I have an apartment in Kiev. I was not aware that it was possible to misinterpret the situation in Ukraine, so I was quite surprised to see that the justification for war is controversial. I like Kim Iversen very much. So, rather than being disappointed with her, I wanted to think of how someone so intelligent could miss such a large conclusion. I realize that it is difficult to have an accurate understanding if one has not been on the ground and seen the atrocities. I won’t go into the history of my training in propaganda in order to be brief, but another thing that is not easily understood about propaganda is that there are 3 basic forms. One form is called a distraction campaign. Let me explain: propaganda is often not lies. Propaganda can be a series of true statements that draw our attention away from the big picture. In order to believe that NATO's move into Poland makes Russia’s invasion and the deaths of tens of thousands of people less bad, one would have to be “morally incapable of solving real world problems,” to barrow a term from Sam Harris.
Russia invaded Ukraine. What is the solution? Leave Ukraine. That’s the big picture. One day, parents are getting ready for work and getting their kids ready for school. The next minute they’re looking for their daughter’s arm on the ground. That’s not over dramatized. It’s a real story. I urge you to go help, as I did, and you will see. Don’t let Russia distract you, my brothers and sisters. Is this the only way to cause peace in Ukraine? Is it the best way? Of course not. Their “peace keeping operation” causes far more death than virtually any other alternative. Also, many children are being killed by Russian artillery. It is said that it is not intentional. There’s no difference between intention and knowing it will happen. When you send a missile and accept 80% accuracy and the possibility of 20% collateral damage, you are knowingly killing children. Don’t be distracted. Remember the big picture. The US used a similar propaganda campaign in 2001. See the video if you want. 🤷🏻♂️

You are a good man Sam Harris.
Respect to Gary Kasparov, a sane voice in an insane world for many years.
A man who backed an alternate history of Jesus Christ and endorses the idea of Russia/NATO airpower becoming entangled , the first word that comes to mind is not "sane". In fact it's actually precisely the opposite which jumps to the fore of my mind.

I have seen recently a picture of a certain Indian world chess champion shaking hands with Putin and looking so delighted as if he met his childhood hero. What a difference Kasparov makes!
Is there a way to buy a specific episode? I love the talks, but $15 a month is pretty steep for most people.
Amazed by his length, breadth and depth of knowledge on this issue. And so nuanced & balanced. I mean look at the way he answered this question : 16:59 on why Ukraine wasn't sent weapons when Biden admin knew an attack was imminent.
Well in Biden's defense, the Ukrainians downplayed the probability of the invasion up until the moment it actually occurred.

Awesome interview Sam! Can you get Ann Applebaum next?
There is only one narrative, no matter where you go for information on the conflict between Russia and the Ukraine.
There is only one narrative? That concerns me.
It is a WAR
I couldn't agree more.
I keep hearing of Johm Mearsheimer as an alternative view. I have not listened to it myself yet, but I suspect that will be a bit more complex than simply "Russia/Putin evil, USA/NATO good."
@Sam Harris nice guest!!
For any Russian with half a brain and parents from the Soviet era, all of this is plain common sense. My mom too said in 1999 that Putin is not to be trusted because he is a KGB man. I was reluctant to trust her at first, but then all the stories about closing media and poisoning of reporters and distends. Anyway... It's good that a wider audience can hear the arguments and observations from this legend of a man. Hopefully this time...

Despite being a subscriber on youtube, this video does not show up in my subscription feed. The notification did come through, which is how I knew I wanted to listen to it, but it's concerning that it's not showing up in the timeline properly.
I think the podcast would be so much better if Sam had more opposing viewpoints as his guests so he can demolish them. Instead of of always having likeminded conversations. It’s beginning to feel like an echo chamber.
Spot on. Since Sam developed Trump obsession above all else - it’s like he lost an analytical eye / perspective on wider topics. Sam seems toothless now.
@@discovery1844 I definitely wouldn’t go that far, I just think the lack of opposing views is boring as fuck. Bring back the days of Ezra Klein and religious idiots.
@@discovery1844 My theory is he is quite frightened of the distrust of our public institutions. His new agenda is defending them, regardless of ineptitude and corruption. Actual conversation and discovery of truth are casualties to the cause.
That would risk him being demolished by those opposing views, which he can't have.
Was thinking about him because of the invasion, surprised to see him on the podcast.

Too bad he didn't actually say anything then.
Every western opinion is biased towards Ukraine.
@@tcorourke2007 I believe he stated his position very clearly.
@@Sal3600 Did you also notice the outrageous bias against Hitler and Stalin in the history books? It's mind blowing.
@@marcinbukowski7423 "Putin is a madman, something, something, Republicans."
I stand corrected, he did say anything.
No stream???
It isn't about "sympathizing," it is about understanding the whole picture to the extent that that is even possible.. Taking sides is tricky because we are all to some degree complicit in most any conflict from the micro all the way to the macro from my p.o.v.
If you are going to discuss this problem seriously, please invite guests with different point of view.
My prediction is that in the near future Kasparov will become president of Russia and that country might actually start to develop as it should
Bro, dream scenario right here. So many brilliant politicians and officials were killed, imprisoned or driven into exile over here while only clueless ass kissers are left in power. Can't wait for the Kremlin tower to fall and for all of them to come back and rebuild it the right way.
Sure, if the Americans need to install a puppet like they did with z3lensky.
Gift this entire podcast to the World Sam.
Is this supposed to not have audio?
Use earphone... some phone right only channel some left... some podcast producers do same... and it does not work out for some
your too early.. try again
It's great to see you covering the topic! Although Kaspsrov is a really questionable choice, if you are looking for a conversation.He rather preaches that discusses, you can see that he is not really answering any of the questions straight, but pivots them into his personal opinion about Putin the man, not Russia as a country. I wish you could talk to Pozner.
100%
I mean his history with Putin and his Orthodox Christian Ultranationalist Brown shirts...let's say it's a wonder he is still alive.
This is nuts. Does nobody know that Kasparov is a lunatic who believes in New Chronology, an insane conspiracy that all of world history is wrong and has been manipulated to benefit some elite cabal? Why is Sam talking to this guy? Why does nobody seem to be aware of this?
I don’t think we need Russian apologists giving their opinion of Kasparov.
@@ChrisVallejos That's a fallacious reply.
Kasparov is a living legend
He should stick to chess.
@Skydaddy Myth-Busters Extremely! I am very cautious with ladders.
@Skydaddy Myth-Busters Oh no don't get me wrong! There's absolutely nothing to be worried about climbing ladders. What you have to be extremely cautious about when there's ladders around is not walking under one. It brings bad luck.
what an absolute clarity of thought by this gentleman. now i know why you were no#1 grandmaster from 1984 till 2005, when you decided to retire.
I’m trying to imagine during the second World war that America was getting their oil from Germany and just continue to buy oil from Germany. It just boggles the imagination we haven’t turned the gas off regardless of the repercussions to Europe which could be worked around in some way. Not to say it wouldn’t be hard but my God look at what’s going on
BTW almost everything the media is feeding you is a lie. Russia isn't killing civilians. It would make no sense. They are only attacking military bases. Watch Gonzalo Lira to hear from someone in Ukraine. His videos over the past few weeks have explained the situation.
Thank you Sam for another great guest and conversation about an essential topic with essential views from an essential authority.
I'm not sure which podcast you listened to, but the one I heard was a completely one sided conversation in which Sam declined to offer any pushback against the absolute most extreme escalation imaginable: the idea of using this invasion to depose Putin. We'll be lucky if this kind of idiocy doesn't get us nuked.
Also: stop saying "essential".
@@tcorourke2007 Essentially, your reply to Carl is inane. As the title spells out, it was a conversation, not a debate...
@@virtuosa69 It wasn't a "conversation", it was an interview. Sam said nothing.
@@tcorourke2007 LOL, as prefaced in the title, it was a CONVERSATION... learn the differences.
@@virtuosa69 If the title said it was a monster truck rally, it wouldn't make it so.
Elite level podcast guest
‘Sanctions could have prevented this, but sanctions won’t stop tanks already rolling.’
Finally, something on this channel that isn't a hot piece of garbage. Cheers
Any John J Mearsheimer in this?
No, and Sam would never have him on his show.
@@macgp44 How come?
J Mearsheimer's plan is endless concessions to Putin and no agency for Ukrainians.
@@WeirdGuy4928 Mearsheimer shatters the neoliberal BS that Kasparov spouts (and Sam supports).
@@philoneill9865 there is no debate any more. Thats a big problem. Whats the point having two people agree with each other . Its the same as Yes Men.
Kasparov is a bit naive in assuming Russian pilots won't "risk their lives" in the event that a no-fly zone is implemented. The air forces generally have some of the most disciplined soldiers in any military service. They will do as their told. And if they don’t someone else will do it for them. I take no pleasure in saying this, but it's just too great a risk.
Also, the comment about avoiding trade with Saudi Arabia, Iran, Venezuela, etc. just because they have blood on their hands is a bizarre metric for doing business. You could apply that logic to just about any major country.
Aren t you naive assuming discipline in the army that always had more dezertors than europeans had soldiers?when they were soviets with zagrad otryads they had a ton of undisciplined and dezertors,do you think now in a corrupted cleptocracy without ideology they ll be more disciplined and obedient ?
@@MegaRolotron and China
Drill baby drill. The US and Canada should increase production to the point that crude crashes.
Ha ha ha! Lol. Discipline? I mean wow... where ever did you come up with that?
Or, perhaps, you mean a firing squad holding the soldiers family hostage. Good old NKVD goons.
Ya esperaba ver su opinión acerca de esta guerra, Licenciado Sam Harris.
Best guy to bring on
Really thought this one would not be behind a paywall….
Propaganda is free.
It isn't, you go to website and get a free subscription.
Gary lost me when he keeps talking about "bad guys" and "good guys". Awfully naive coming from someone like him.
Does he think Western nations such as the US doesn't have blood on their hands?
Do you know what war is? Do you know how to tell an enemy from a friend? Hint: one is actively firing missiles at you.
But I guess you need some nuance to figure it out.
The problem with Kasparov interviews is that you already know what he will say and how he will say it before the interview starts. I would like to hear a fresh take (and don’t mean that for the Contrarian’s sake of Teaching the Argument.)
Yeah if you've heard him once, you've heard him all.
Was hoping to listen to it but its not a big enough issue to warrant public announcement. And I'd rather donate the 15 or 100 bucks to the army.
