Seems most likely that the West has an interest in keeping Russian forces tied down and bleeding in Ukraine, hence the less-than-speedy delivery of weapons. Every day Russia remains in Ukraine, it gets weaker. A quick defeat would only send them home with more of their stuff intact, and presumably they'd go make sure ASAP that other former SSR's don't go the way of Ukraine.

I somewhat agree, but on the other side of the coin, it takes discussion and mobilization to transport tanks and support equipment. Plus, decisions about how involved to get. We sit at our computers tapping away, but some big decisions entail gambling with the lives of thousands of young men. We don't want 'US or EU boots on the ground' ... but how close can we get - before it becomes a direct war between former USSR and western allies?

I don't know who this gentleman is but I can say we need people like him to be somewhere in the decision making table in our defense

Gary Kasparov is one of the greatest chess players of all times

[@germanmechanic8591]

@Jim Kunle He used to be the worlds best chess player

[@jeromer8556]

He's a Russian chess Grandmaster. Some people believe he's the greatest chess player of all time.

[@horseman6437]

You're right Jim. He's understands the right treat for a dictator.

[@gammaraygem]

ATACMS are easy to shoot down by Russia. I dont like it either, but it is the truth.

[@annnee6818]

I love his fury. He's right!

[@clarabartha1737]

Garry, as always, on point.

[@russellpierce8672]

He makes so much sense but so many leaders are still playing Russian roulette ..

[@halloweenhopes7427]

God bless you, Garry Kasparov!

[@uzithedreadpoet6777]

When you fight for principles, there’s nothing to negotiate! True. It’s victory or, failure. He’s right!

[@aliayatolla1419]

obama paternal grandfather, Hussein Onyango Obama, was one of 150.000 rebellious Kikuyu “blackamoors” forced into detention camps during Churchill’s postwar premiership, when the British governnment began its brutal campaign to suppress the alleged “Mau Mau” uprising in Kenya, in order to protect the privileges of the white settler population at the expense of the indigenous people. About 11,000 Kenyans were killed and 81,000 detained during the British government’s campaign to protect its imperialist heritage.

[@thebilboshow168]

Is that why Democrats keep appeasing criminals and p3d0s?

[@aliayatolla1419]

uk and russia invaded iran on 1941,a neutral country at that time

[@mikebrigs1218]

STOP FUNDING UKRAINE!!!

[@rohankurian5641]

🤔👊🔥🔥✌

[@AGENDA_1938]

Amen - Mr.Kasparov. Now let's make sure, everybody gets THAT message.

[@thilomanten8701]

If there was a probable chance of Ruzzia destroying the world with nukes than removing that threat is all the more urgent and needs to be confronted "head-on"!

[@brahmburgers]

Interesting point, I hadn't thought of until reading your post. When Ukraine wins, western forces could go into Russia to dismantle 90% of Russia's nukes. That could be a big step toward ridding the planet of nukes, .... 100%. No exceptions.

[@afnd4603]

Now how do we do that without destroying the world with nuke??? Lol

[@rednaxelahcitorfaznebo2830]

I truly admire the greatness of the longest reigning world chess champion. Much more as a sensible and good human being.

[@couragewon]

Well said Kasparov!!

[@sundervenkataraman5746]

Kudos Kasparov!!

[@TABE-O]

Spot on. Stop the slow responses and let’s get it done.

[@ThePrinceraj88]

THE KING KASPAROV 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆

[@dmaggio4011]

This guy is absolutely right…..

[@unojayc]

Right on Gary!

[@JaanikaMeriloua]

Garry Kasparov is brilliant. Cannot agree more.

[@fidelcashflow7057]

I’m American and very conservative and I can’t understand why the United states wouldn’t want to help Ukraine fight this war when we have had conflicts with Russia for A LONG time

[@cristiani.lepindea8676]

See what Col. Macgregor has to say about this! He îs very clear!

[@LEOvsMAO]

Yeah, also clearly it's not that hard to break russia now, when we see how fragile it is in reality.

[@shevthegreb757]

Because 9/10 chances that will cause a third world war or nuclear war.

[@robertorovida2108]

I'm sure that you are (a) conservative: of your territory and belongings, before than politically... If you risked a nuclear war on the land where you live, your words would be more prudent. But evidently you have the good habit of exporting undue wars, and even outside of your jurisdiction (UKR is not part of the NATO if you permit, although it has been supported by NATO since 2014, for Stoltenberg's admission!). I guess that, in American schools, peace must be an untouched topic, which adds up to all the firearms displayed on the walls of American family houses, as if they were pieces of art. Did the USA help us during the II World War? YES and I say thank you, because I'm not ungrateful. But I hope that we could consider that we have finished to pay you back for that help. Unless you think that when you do someone a favor, they will have to be bound to you for good: which is not the gentleman way to behave, but the mafia code.
