Putin's Desperate End Game - interview with Russian chess grandmaster | Garry Kasparov | TVP World

The brutal invasion of Ukraine has shown the world that Vladimir Putin has no regard for rules. Breaching international laws, and weaponizing anything he can to achieve his objectives. Can there be any method to his madness? What of Putin’s strategy? To analyze that further and get a sense of what is next as we enter the second year of the war in Ukraine there’s a man who knows a thing or two about strategy. Garry Kasparov - chess grandmaster, former World Chess Champion who ranked number one in the world for 20 years, political activist, and chairman of The Renew Democracy Initiative. He’s also a writer including a book published in 2015 entitled ‘ Winter Is Coming’ in which he warned of Russia’s descent into dictatorship. His life has also made him an ardent supporter of human rights, democracy and a fierce opponent of Vladimir Putin.

US stands on stage with people that overthrowing a democratically elected leader AFTER he stepped down. The G7 strategy is folly. I am curious how people think an escalation will realistically succeed? What does that look like? It’s a nice fantasy- Russia withdraws from Crimea and the Donbas and apologizes and leaves Ukraine and the US alone. The tragedy is there is an easy way out. Weakening Russia to the point where they give up Crimea (who were denied the opportunity to have their election overseen by international community in 2014 after the US decided who the new president should be after the Maidan Revolution- which Is proven fact with Victoria Nuland leaked audio) and abandon supporting the Donbass bid for independence is one unlikely to happen without massive negative effects and 2 is our global stability not worth giving these two small regions their independence from Ukraine over and the right to determine their own fate?

I think the fear of russia falling apart and dissolving into many different nuclear armed states, is behind many Western governments reluctance to give Ukraine everything it needs to win this war and win it quickly. It seems they are being given just enough to fight to a stalemate, rather than hand russia the embarrassing defeat it rightly deserves. The faster russia loses the better, the longer this goes on the more likely China will start supplying weapons to russia, because China has an interest in drawing down Western arms supplies and ammunition.

[@Koan_Om]

I am a Russian citizen. Putin can be generally described as an authoritarian leader, but as a tyrant - no. Mr Kasparov lays it on thick, he has a long standing beef with Mr Putin.

[@BrokenHill56]

I saw Kasparov vs Short in the early 90's in London. He was a great man then and and even greater man now. Insightful, coherent and humane. A real star.

[@belladona6685]

I listened about 10 years ago to Garry Kasparov and thinking that He is paranoiac in regard to Putin humanity...but now, 10 years later, I see He was 100% right then. Now I understand why He was number 1 chess player and I was not... Eh?

[@jacquielapierredufresne5468]

Wow now your brain is functioning

[@TheGermanObserver]

@@SN-rn4ci Did you listen to him? The current situation is a result of what he wrote in his book in 2015. And @belpadona6685 reports about some statements 10 years ago (2012 or 2013) BEFORE the crimea invasion happened. Garry Kasparow is a really smart guy. I guess he is one of the 10 people in the world I respect most.

As a Brazilian, I feel ashamed when our politics are mentioned worldwide (we had so many plain bad and internationally irrelevant presidents in recent past). Our country always had a neutral position in armed conflicts (usually providing humanitarian aid), but this was a full blown invasion, no excuse, we should have been on Ukraine’s side from the start. Unfortunately our country needs Russia (for fertilizers and other raw materials) and our president must look after the needs of our country, but our country also needs moral standards, and no politician here are known by their “moral standards”. We were in a doomsday election for president, the previous was incompetent and dumb as a door, the current one is a convicted criminal (at best) let loose by a weak criminal system. It was crazy, so many people defending one side or another during the election (when they both just care about their pockets). Lula is going to break Brazil, he appointed all his “friends” (again) to key positions in our government (regardless of expertise in the matter, which they don’t have), he’s going to give small change to the less fortunate ones to keep them “happy” while suck money from every possible corner. But AFAIK, most of us stand with Ukraine!

[@nic7048]

give me a break thats not true at all, USA and Australia are 2 of the biggest farm food export countries of the world that NEED fertiziser and dont make there own and they will never ever support Putin even if they did need some of there products , thats a lame excuse. In Australia it was terrible here and fertiziser was 4 times higher in price compared to what it was at the start of COVID, food is the second biggest economy in AUstralia so in no way can brazil blame its pro Putin polices on that

[@rafaeltogami]

@@nic7048 are seriously comparing Brazil to the US or Australia? You’re joking, right? Having a GDP 16x lower than the US or a bit bigger than Australia’s (with 10x the population) isn’t a “lame excuse”. And in case you didn’t understand, I was criticizing our government for prioritizing business over war.

[@jokoolone]

The horror!

[@siloton]

According to IPSOS surveys, your country does not differ in opinions from average other countries who are not near the conflict. Your country does not have repression system to force people not to say their true opinions in surveys. Your country voted against invasion in UN resolution last year. You do not have to be ashamed of your country

[@rafaeltogami]

@@siloton thank you for your kind words. I feel this way because I had the opportunity to work and befriend with people from lots of different countries (US, Canada, Mexico, Sweden, Czech Republic, Germany, England, Finland and France (even from Russia)), visited several countries (both at work and on vacation). I was really disappointed with Brazil after knowing so many different cultures, we are centuries behind in education, culture and respect to each other. We don’t really know how to vote, we keep voting for the same old corrupt politicians, we are more interested on Carnival, football, TV shows and bad music than things that matter (both international and local). We usually compare ourselves to countries in worse conditions instead of aiming at better examples. We got a long way to go and it always seems like we are stepping sideways, not forward.

[@davidgegia339]

Wise man, with wise advices!

[@thinkabouthislove]

I am a fan of this former World Champion in Chess who happens to be a Russian. He is not only a brilliant in chess game but also in the way he assesed and answer about russia's putin and his foolish war of attrition against the Ukranian people.

[@gena4ka]

This is the real Russian! Amazing guy

[@karinjohansson7262]

Except he is not Russian.

[@Sancho_Merka]

Navalny is a real Russian. Kasparov has lost too much contact with Russia, he is more of an American journalist now.

[@KEB129]

Kasparov is great!

[@margaretlamb2432]

Thanks for this great interview with Mr. Kasparov

[@artmcteagle]

Excellent interview, good questions. Mr. Kasparov insights are valuable to anyone following this dreadful war. One small point, please blend in the moderator's name (or put in the description) as english speakers such as myself don't register the Polish names!

[@tsunchoo]

Surprised Kasaparov didn't mention the non-aggression pact Russia had with Germany at the outset of WWII - "The Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact was a non-aggression pact between Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union that enabled those powers to partition Eastern Europe between them. - The Soviet invasion of Poland was a military operation by the Soviet Union without a formal declaration of war. On 17 September 1939, the Soviet Union invaded Poland from the east, 16 days after Nazi Germany invaded Poland from the west." - from Wikipedia

[@TATAthe5highs]

GREAT interview!

[@TheSunflowerGalaxy]

When Russia began the full invasion in 2022, my first thought was that the only way Russia would be able to continue the war was to get assistance from China, and I would not be surprised if part of the population began learning Mandarin as a second language, or even had to give up a part of its land to China. It is good to hear that Kasparov acknowledges the possibility of something like this.

[@bartbernard6127]

As an amateur A class chess player in college I had great respect for Kasparov’s chess. Now as an elderly adult, I have even more respect for him as a person.

[@topcover22]

Kasparov places an exclamation point on what many countries have forgotten especially the West. Success has been, is and will always be about the "long game".

[@joetuktyyuktuk8635]

"The price of freedom, is eternal vigilance"

[@gaoxiaen1]

That's why Russia will be defeated. Putin is suffering from dementia, and the youth of Russia, Ukraine, and the Free World see him (and dictatorship) as a fossil.

[@rv1251]

GKK big respect ✌️

[@ph6560]

*Please* have Garry Kasparov back on the show again. He brought to light several hot topics in 20 minutes which many other "experts" either avoid due to their "sensitive" nature, or simply don't understand. One outrageous circumstance that's never even discussed and which Garry mentioned instantly, is e.g. *the white elephant in the room* that the REPEATEDLY disloyal and unreliable *"allies"* of *Turkey* and *Hungary* are still members of NATO and the EU (in the latter case).

[@shtroizn]

Turkey is a problem. On the one hand - yes it is an unreliable ally. On the other hand it is an essential ally. Turkey is huge and controls some of the most important shipping lanes in the Mediterranean. It is also a predominantly Muslim country and can act as a bridge between Christian Europe and the Muslim world. It also has a degree of clout over Iran (and certainly Syria). Turkey also provided Ukraine with the Bayraktar drones which they utilized to great effect. If Turkey wasn't in NATO it could lean towards Russia and that would spell disaster. The Turks were offended at the cold response to the possibility of Turkey becoming a member of the EU. No need to further offend them. Erdogan is not my favorite politician (and this is an understatement) but one cannot deny he is a very experienced diplomat. He knows how to play the game and he is aware of his country's strategic importance. Better keep him an ally and try to appease him than to risk him turning his back or worse - siding with Russia. What this means for Finland and especially Sweden is yet unclear. Some deal should be arranged ASAP - that I am pretty sure of. Hungary is a different issue, especially under this current PM and administration.

[@__Aurora__]

@@shtroizn Great comment. Btw. Don’t worry about Turkey blocking Sweden or Finland in NATO, it will not happen. Sweden and Finland will become members of NATO. All the best from Sweden to our Turkish friends!

[@shtroizn]

@@__Aurora__ Thank you. Yes - I believe eventually Turkey and Hungary will agree to both countries joining NATO. Turns out We should all thank Putin for making NATO bigger and stronger and more united than ever.

[@alex.velasco]

@@shtroizn The problem with autocrats like Erdogan, is that once they pass the ‘point of no return,’ they become full-blown dictators like Saddam Hussein was. The autocrat knows that once he loses power, he will face jail or worse. So he holds on to power by any means necessary. Then - just as it has become with Erdogan - their every act is, firstly, one of self-preservation.

[@shtroizn]

@@alex.velasco I agree with you 100% and am no fan of Erdogan (and that is an understatement). Alarmingly - here in Israel it is starting to feel the same with Benjamin Netanyahu.

[@bbdj2779]

Kasparov’s book Winter is Coming, could also be called Putin Demystified. Excellent, informative, enjoyable read. Highly recommended for any looking for insight as to how the world got to where it is today.

[@maxros8102]

Russia need Mr. Kasparov as a leader. or a man like him: an open minded leader. imo

[@Sancho_Merka]

Kasparov is not needed in Russia, neither by the opposition nor by the pro-government. He lost touch with the country and reality. There are dozens of more worthy people in the Russian opposition.

This guest needs to be listened to, and heard very clearly and carefully… It doesn’t matter what you think, believe, or “feel” in regards to any world events that’ve taken place or any political struggle that’s been going on for longer than you’ve been alive… The bottom line is that if you believe in freedom, and want any type of prosperity and the ability to pursue your goals and dreams and aspirations (or for that matter those of your friends and family, especially children, grandchildren, and beyond) then you have no choice but to get with the program here, and this guy (like many others) spells it out quite clearly…
