Good to see a ray of light from my old corner of the world. My appreciation to @MagnusCarlsen for being a champion of more than chess. Outside the 64 squares is life, death, and honor. https://t.co/BuJJTaJ1G6 — PolitiTweet.org

@JAMALIGLE @Nir1629 The president has the ability to take military action without Congressional approval and Obama, like nearly every other president in recent US history, did so at other times in his presidency. He chose not to, and blaming McConnell for that is delusional. — PolitiTweet.org

@JAMALIGLE @Nir1629 I thought the president was the commander in chief. I didn't know it was Mitch McConnell! Take responsibility for inaction. He made a threat and declined to back it up with huge repercussions in Syria, ME, and the world. You can still like Obama, but truth matters. — PolitiTweet.org

Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63

Many don't seem to grasp that Ukrainian victory in this war is the only way we aren't doing this again and again, at greater risk and cost. Stop listening to people who keep getting Putin wrong. Make sure Ukraine can fight and win. — PolitiTweet.org

Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63

Obama did release this statement just now, thanks to those who let me know. The good: noting the need for sacrifice in this fight. The bad: only mentioning sanctions, not the arms that Ukraine desperately needs asap. https://t.co/HO1RVOTshx — PolitiTweet.org

@johndeguzman Thank you, had not seen it. — PolitiTweet.org

To "both sides" this, is Lindsey Graham really saying this wouldn't happen with Trump in office?! If so, only because Putin would let Trump destroy NATO for him, as Trump said he would do in his 2nd term! The GOP doesn't need a spin doctor, it's needs a psychiatrist. — PolitiTweet.org

Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63

W Bush sent his statement, where is Obama's? Not only does he bear substantial responsibility for this catastrophe for blundering with Putin and in Syria, but he would also have influence in the Biden admin. — PolitiTweet.org

Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63

Pathetic. You think Putin is concerned about the "legal implications" of his actions?! This is a goddamn war and Ukrainians are dying and need help. Sanctions don't stop attack helicopters. Make up for the time you wasted not arming Ukraine properly for years. — PolitiTweet.org

Germany still refusing to send weapons to Ukraine after funding Putin's war machine for years, or even to remove Russia from SWIFT. Neutrality between good and evil sides with evil, always. — PolitiTweet.org

Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63

Most EU leaders, even the ones in the East who grasp the danger Putin represents, are a generation removed from confrontation and conflict. They are vegetarians in a steakhouse, wondering why there's no salad on the menu. — PolitiTweet.org

Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63

Biden's Cold War background have prepared him better than his EU colleagues. His tone and the start of sanctions are welcome. But now it's war, not deterrence. Putin will bleed Ukraine dry to compensate for his losses if he succeeds militarily. Weapons are needed now. — PolitiTweet.org

Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63

Written in 2014 after Putin invaded Ukraine and annexed Crimea, there are many Winter Is Coming excerpts that are painfully timely now, but I'll leave this one here before I start working on Winter Is Here. (As I often joke, "I <Bleeping> Told You So!" will be the subtitle.) https://t.co/naFeePh4bu — PolitiTweet.org

Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63

Since I answered so many of the questions I'm getting today on Putin and Ukraine, and more, in my book Winter Is Coming, I'm pinning it. I hoped it would be history by now, but thanks to Putin and free world apathy, it's still current events. https://t.co/CygciuJkQg https://t.co/T2TfnizP9Q — PolitiTweet.org

Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63

Would seem like a good time, no? The film on Navalny tells you everything you need to know to understand Putin and already won awards. Who is in charge of releasing it? @HBODocs , @hbomax , @CNN ? https://t.co/52xxlLhBLo — PolitiTweet.org

Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63

I wonder what the American tech giants could do to help get the truth to the Russian people. Most get news from state TV, unfortunately, but Apple, Facebook, Google, and the rest still have considerable reach. But courage, usually none. — PolitiTweet.org

Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63

There is always a chance. Dictatorships are hard but brittle. If the blitzkrieg fails and Putin is faced with too many casualties to hide and more information gets through, the 1000s protesting today could become a million. But after 21 years it is hard. https://t.co/crDrTGCedb — PolitiTweet.org
