If the US goal is for Ukraine to win, to reclaim its territory and sovereignty, say so and act like it. We cannot defend democracy on the cheap. That opportunity was lost when the free world made deals with Putin instead of stopping him in the past 15 years. The price went up. — PolitiTweet.org

Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63

Ukraine is running low on everything, even bullets. Zelensky's list of essential weapons and supplies must be filled immediately. The US & allies are capable, certainly more so than the much faster supplies sent to the USSR in WWII. — PolitiTweet.org

Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63

Many of us pleaded for deterrent sanctions, to show Putin the US & EU meant business. Now we know the cost. Instead of shifting blame, send the damn weapons. This isn't a regional conflict; the global balance between democracy and dictatorship at stake. — PolitiTweet.org

Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63

The first US reaction to Putin's predicted invasion was to offer to evacuate Zelensky, not to fight. Even now, the Ukrainian lend-lease is slow, and US hasn't enabled E Euro nations to send older weapons by guaranteeing US replacements to speed things up. — PolitiTweet.org

Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63

Biden had a summit and calls with Putin and made big talk about sanctions, and what was the result, where was the action? Why should Zelensky have trusted Ukraine wasn't going to be sold out for Russian cooperation on the Iran deal or something else? — PolitiTweet.org

Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63

Biden said Zelensky didn't heed US warnings about Putin's invasion, but passing the buck is offensive when the US took no deterrent steps. Seeing no US action, Zelensky likely feared Ukraine was being treated as a chip on the table of a larger US game with Putin. — PolitiTweet.org

"Probe Russian war crimes". Such work must be done, but the international community loves post-mortems. Not preventative medicine, not life-saving interventions, but waiting until the bodies are cold. Stop the war crimes and war criminals first. https://t.co/bC8Jx0vuln — PolitiTweet.org

Last? "Western unity" should last forever, not be a temporary alliance. It needs to be revived and defended. You can't treat global democracy like a volunteer fire department. There are too many arsonists. — PolitiTweet.org

Beware when small men acquire great power and grand dreams. Putin is a thug, a petty thief and chekist who believes he is a mighty emperor. End his imperial fantasy now because his ambitions begin in Ukraine, they won't end there. — PolitiTweet.org

Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63

The richest and most powerful military nations in the world measure out their aid to Ukraine by the teaspoon, complaining of costs, of risks, spitting on a forest fire they helped fuel, a fire that will spread across their borders if not extinguished now. — PolitiTweet.org

Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63

Listen to Putin. Look at how he acts, how he talks. He feels immune, capable of anything. He compares himself to Peter the Great and it already is becoming a Russian propaganda standard. What's next, Ayatollah Putin? Pharaoh? — PolitiTweet.org

Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63

Any honest appeaser must end their illusions. Only victory in Ukraine can save Europe from expanded conflict. Look at the photos of Ukraine and imagine your cities, your people. Maybe you don't care about Ukraine, but Ukraine is fighting to save you from that. Help now. — PolitiTweet.org

Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63

The half-measures and delays must end now. The risks are skyrocketing because Putin senses weakness with his usual animal instincts. Victory in Ukraine would embolden him to further aggression, worse crimes. He is claiming divine rights, with no moral barriers. — PolitiTweet.org

Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63

Winning the war in Ukraine is the ONLY chance to prevent direct military confrontation between NATO troops and Russia. Putin made it plain: the "return of all our lands". He has placed himself above any law, any treaty or truth. Ukraine is just the first stop. — PolitiTweet.org

Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63

Now it should be obvious even to Macron and Scholz that there is no alternative to Ukrainian victory. That means full liberation of the country and the crushing defeat of Putin's military machine. Followed by reparations and justice for victims of war crimes. — PolitiTweet.org

Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63

Putin has said what he wants to do many times in the past, but the West refused to believe him, or declined to do anything about it. Ukraine is paying the high price for the West's ignorance and apathy. — PolitiTweet.org
