The West appeased and made deals with Putin after he invaded Ukraine in 2014 & his all-out war was the response. China has obliterated Hong Kong's freedom, commits genocide against Uyghurs, and eyes Taiwan while watching the Ukraine response carefully. — PolitiTweet.org

Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63

Taiwan is a free and prosperous state of 23 million human beings that want to stay that way. The world is a better and safer place when authoritarian regimes are worried. They escalate and attack when they are confident. — PolitiTweet.org

Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63

The fear-mongering and partisan headlines around Pelosi's visit to Taiwan are infuriating. Stop letting brutal dictatorships like China set the agenda with bluffs and violence. Unite democracies and let dictators be afraid instead. — PolitiTweet.org

Ukrainians are fighting for their lives, their land, their freedom. They are being murdered daily in their homes by Russian missiles and bombs. Not because of where their defensive forces are, but because Putin uses civilian slaughter as a weapon of terror. — PolitiTweet.org

Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63

Pathetic. Amnesty International can go to hell for this garbage. Or go to Ukraine, which Putin's war is trying to turn into hell. As with their actions on Navalny, it reeks of Russian influence turning Kremlin propaganda into Amnesty statements. — PolitiTweet.org

Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63

As went the joke I heard in Ukraine in Dec 2014, a Russian calls a Jewish Ukrainian friend: “Moishe, is it true your country has been taken over by Nazis and fascists?” “Yes,” his friend replies, “our synagogue is full of them!” But now the real fascists are revealed. Fight. — PolitiTweet.org

Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63

Read The Economist article if you deem me "too emotional," as I was called for saying the same things in 2014. A little more emotion would have helped the world push back then. More anger, more fear of what would come. https://t.co/rCJtxqeXQI — PolitiTweet.org

Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63

Putin's war could have been stopped when it started in 2014. Now the West is responding more like it should have then. But unless more is done quickly to help Ukraine win, the same cycle will repeat. It's not enough for Russia not to win. Ukraine must win. — PolitiTweet.org

Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63

The West was content to let Putin destroy Russia as long as the gas, oil, and cash were flowing to them. But now he is slaughtering Ukrainians and trying to call it self-defense, to annex sovereign territory. It must not be allowed or it will not stop. — PolitiTweet.org

Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63

Russia must not only be cleansed of Putin, but Putinism. Russians must face defeat and reality, see what horrors are being done in their name, with their apathy and support. As always with facing down a dictator, it will not be easy, but it will only be harder tomorrow. — PolitiTweet.org

Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63

As I wrote, as documented by generations of historians, despotic regimes inevitably run out of excuses for why the lot of the people has not improved under their eternal rule. Their answer is repression and war. New enemies, new scapegoats. Putin is no different. — PolitiTweet.org

Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63

As soon as Putin consolidated complete control in Russia, as soon as he was sure he would no longer face international pressure on human rights, he steadily pivoted to overt fascism. Enemies internal and external, religion, propaganda of death and hatred. War was inevitable. — PolitiTweet.org

Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63

The point free world leaders most needed to understand was the shift from Putin needing friends to needing enemies. They kept acting like he would return to civilized behavior, to normalize Russia as a nation. But fascism is a one-way street. — PolitiTweet.org

Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63

In my 2015 book, I cited Paxton's definition of fascism and said it looked like Putin used it as a to-do list. And so it was and so it is. It doesn't end. The Economist: "Expansion is in its nature. It will seek to expand both geographically and into people’s private lives." — PolitiTweet.org

Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63

Belated consensus that Putin's Russia is a fascist state. I warned about this explicitly in 2014 and in Winter Is Coming. The shift from "rational authoritarianism" to a personality cult, need for enemies, and victimization was clear. https://t.co/rCJtxqeXQI — PolitiTweet.org

Taiwanese chose Ukrainian flags as a symbol of the democracy and freedom they cherish and see under threat. Correctly so. Not so many US flags, as Hong Kongers held not long ago. Hong Kong has now been crushed by the CCP and Xi wants Taiwan to be next. — PolitiTweet.org

Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63

What about to Sevastopol? That's Ukrainian territory, according to the US, EU, every NATO nation, and the United Nations. The US policy of deterring its allies at the demand of its enemies is perverse and harmful, from Ukraine to Taiwan. — PolitiTweet.org
