I've been asked several times on shows "Should we put US/NATO pilots into possible combat with Russians?" My reply is, please finish the sentence. "... in order to stop the slaughter of innocents on the ground in Ukraine?" This isn't an academic exercise. — PolitiTweet.org

The internet was supposed to shine a light into the darkest corners of the world, making it impossible for dictators to hide their crimes. But the light has blinded us like a deer in headlights. We see but do not move. — PolitiTweet.org

Instead of newsreels from liberated concentration camps in 1945, we have drone footage and HD photos & interviews of innocents being bombed relentlessly with modern weapons. It's happening right now. Everyone knows. — PolitiTweet.org

Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63

And many jokes on the effect Putin's banning of the word "war" has on Russian literature. Now we have "The Great Patriotic Special Military Operation of the Soviet Union, 1941-1945" and "Special Military Operation and Peace" by Tolstoy! — PolitiTweet.org

Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63

Give jets, drones, & long-range weapons that allow Ukraine to strike at the source and protect their people, as @AVindman proposes. Announce the creation of humanitarian corridors in advance, areas under protection. Ukraine is not Putin's. Stop treating it like it is. — PolitiTweet.org

Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63

The West loves to lose slowly, to pass the hard choices to the next admin, shift the consequences to buffer states. Now Ukraine has exposed them because Ukraine doesn't want to lose slowly, or lose at all. Ukraine wants to win. Help them win. https://t.co/LY0IuBx2sl — PolitiTweet.org

Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63

The US & EU want to go back to their comfortable corruption, buying Russian oil & gas, applying weak sanctions, lip service about democracy, inviting Putin to summits & Davos. Dictators always escalate & the West kept folding. But this time a problem: Ukraine refuses to fold. — PolitiTweet.org

Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63

As soon as the first Russian tank crossed the border of Ukraine, the West declared Putin the ruler of the largest country in Europe. No longer sovereign, no longer allowed to invite allies to fight in its own territory in its defense. Only Putin can do that. — PolitiTweet.org

Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63

The Biden WH & its media defenders are repeating the arguments of the Obama admin & its media defenders in 2014. Heroic restraint! Such leadership! You are too hot-headed, Grandmaster Kasparov, let's just wait and see! We waited. We see. https://t.co/QtkAGQw9nV — PolitiTweet.org

Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63

This isn't about NATO. There's no treaty saying the US & other great powers of the free world are forbidden from defending Ukraine, which is dying to protect them. There is only fear, the same fear that kept them from acting in 2014 and led us here. — PolitiTweet.org

Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63

Putin is bombing hospitals, refuges, and retirement homes in Ukraine. But we are told that the free world must not act to help unless those hospitals, refuges, and retirement homes are inside specific lines on the map. Those lives matter. Those children matter. — PolitiTweet.org

Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63

I was called a warmonger in 2014 when I said Putin would not stop with Crimea & E Ukraine. Now everyone admits that I was right, but wants to repeat the same mistake now. Letting Putin destroy Ukraine *increases* the threat of a greater conflict, including nuclear. — PolitiTweet.org

Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63

More than 10 million Ukrainians have been displaced. The entire population of Georgia or Michigan, of Portugal or Greece. Fleeing invasion, terror, death from the skies. The West's answer is to debate the paperwork of sending jets. — PolitiTweet.org

Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63

Putin will continue to escalate. Using new weapons, destroying entire cities, massacring and deporting thousands of Ukrainians. He feels safe to do so because the most powerful military in the world already declared it will not fight him. — PolitiTweet.org

Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63

Putin will emulate Stalin and worse in his slaughter and cruelty but the West will continue to pretend that it's all a ploy to lure them into Ukraine to destroy his military. But they are too clever & prudent and will boldly continue to do nothing. — PolitiTweet.org

Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63

Putin's daily escalation of murder of civilians, of destruction, of forced starvation does not count either, apparently. https://t.co/gMzNaE3kmY — PolitiTweet.org

Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63

The US gives weapons for Ukraine to defend a ground war, but not the ones it needs to win. Why? Putin will continue to shell and bomb and launch missiles from ships to slaughter civilians from out of reach. https://t.co/Plf0yVeX6t — PolitiTweet.org
