It has taken a massive war to remind Europe and America that fighting for freedom is a global battle, and that giving it up inevitably weakens the forces of democracy at home. Ukraine is being sacrificed to teach this lesson once again. — PolitiTweet.org

Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63

Ukraine's only sin was to try to join the free world of democracy and prosperity. This was unforgivable to Putin. But instead of being embraced and protected by the nations it wished to join, they kept Ukraine at arm's length and did business with its tormentor. — PolitiTweet.org

Consider the horror of a city of over 3 million besieged by modern weapons of war, by an army directed by a vicious dictator with no regard for human life. And knowing the mightiest nations on Earth have decided not to save you. https://t.co/pJUs1J1hWa — PolitiTweet.org

Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63

The civilized world that operates by the rule of law has a published rule book. Authoritarians constantly examine it and look for loopholes and cracks to exploit. So we must be agile in response and acknowledge the spirit, not just the letter of the law. — PolitiTweet.org

Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63

When democracies, by nature fractious and prone to discussion and compromise, get into tactical skirmishes with dictatorships they're at a disadvantage. Unite, set standards & stick to them instead of making exceptions every time they are challenged. — PolitiTweet.org

Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63

Dictators don't do strategy, but they can do short-term tactics well because they have no constraints. The advantage of the free world is supposed to be long term strategic thinking and institutions, but it has been squandered since the Cold war ended. https://t.co/tE5SfZkRBT — PolitiTweet.org

Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63

None of them will criticize or even mention Putin, the architect and master of this war, as he was of the invasion and occupation. They cannot have their money, peace and comfort and their dictator too. Make them choose. https://t.co/e0BymB5WRw — PolitiTweet.org

Putin will bomb & shell, attack key infrastructure to destroy the capacity of the city to resist. He doesn't want a long siege. His money will dry up from sanctions and the West's promised weapons are still far away. But Russian tanks are there now. — PolitiTweet.org

Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63

What is the difference to Putin if there are a 1000 dead or 10,000 or 100,000? Is he still in power? Is he still rich? As I've often said, the ability to act this way, purely selfishly, is a superpower of autocrats. Normal people cannot emulate it. — PolitiTweet.org

Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63

Obviously they weren't avoiding civilian casualties before, but weren't seeking them. Now no more precision, just destruction and terror. Putin doesn't care "how it looks" to the world or to Ukrainians or to Russians if they cannot make him pay. — PolitiTweet.org

Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63

Now that Putin's original plan to take Kyiv quickly, assuming the UKR military would collapse & Zelensky would flee, has failed, he will lift all restrictions on destruction in the capital in order to take it all costs. — PolitiTweet.org

Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63

I will repeat that Putin does not care at all what happens to Russia or Russians and he never has. He thinks about staying in power today and tomorrow. That's it. You can never say a dictator has miscalculated as long as he's still the dictator. — PolitiTweet.org

If true, this would fit the pattern of the West always seeking loopholes to avoid making sacrifices themselves, thus ensuring Putin avoids the worst impact of sanctions. This is why he doesn't fear them anymore. Yes, fighting involves risk and sacrifice. — PolitiTweet.org

Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63

Yet Trump's mention of the man 100% responsible for this appalling and outrageous atrocity was to call Putin "smart" and say he got along with him. Perhaps Trump doesn't yet know that Russia's banks are frozen. — PolitiTweet.org

Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63

No dictatorship is legitimate. Their oppressed subjects are as linked as their oppressors are united. Having worked with dissidents from all over the world with @HRF, @OsloFF & @Renew_Democracy, we all hold to a golden dream of freedom for all. — PolitiTweet.org
