What is Putin’s Endgame? Garry Kasparov on Russia’s Attack on Ukraine | Amanpour and Company

A vocal critic of the Russian leadership is Garry Kasparov, the chess grandmaster who repeatedly ranked world number one for 20 years before turning his attention to politics. He tells leaders to “help Ukraine fight against the monster you helped create.” Kasparov speaks with Walter Isaacson.

The people of Russia need to hold him accountable too. There are way more Russians than police forces to arrest them. At some point, it always happens when there are mass protests and police trying to crack down, they realize they are outnumbered and it's futile. It happened in the Arab Spring, and Russians can take a stand.

[@hueypautonoman]

That’s easier said than done. When every channel was showing an American police officer with his knee on a dying man’s neck, most Americans sat at home and didn’t go out to protest. And it wasn’t because they didn’t care. They have families and lives they don’t want to jeopardize. Now imagine the stakes are even higher like they are in Russia, where the police can pick you up, throw you in a hole and never even prosecute you. No one wants to be that person, and no one wants that for their family and loved ones. And don’t forget that the police, security and army are also Russian, so clearly not every citizen is against Putin. I’m not saying it’s impossible, but there are so many factors to consider.
