@Nonilex Thanks! This is indeed the must read of the day: #GarryKasparov #kasparov „Now that the second Trump administration is racing to tick off every point on Putin’s long wish list, the reason for this has become clear. In Trump’s second term, Putin was expecting him to abandon Ukraine, lift sanctions on Russia, create divisions within NATO, and leave Ukraine relatively defenseless before Europe could get organized to defend it. That is, exactly what is happening today.“
The Putinization of America
Trump’s deference to the Russian #dictator has become full-blown imitation.
We are barely a month into the second presidential term of #Trump & he has made his top priorities clear: the destruction of America’s government & influence & the preservation of #Russia’s.

I boosted this on another post ...
but this is an incredibly captivating read by #GarryKasparov in #TheAtlantic and it's sooooo important that people understand.
Deep knowledge + eloquent = vg.
(Apologies to The Atlantic for 'sneaky' link ... this is too important, so thank you for publishing it.)

The first paragraph of Garry Kasparov's article "The Putinization of America" at The Atlantic.

As somebody who spent scarce money to subscribe to it, I give it the highest recommendation. 
Legal scholar Joyce Vance shared the following in her newsletter this week: Garry Kasparov, the world chess champion who has become a democracy advocate, describes the superpower of demagogues and autocrats. They have an ability to create a new scandal every day, so the prior day’s issues get pushed aside and forgotten.

“Only the total defeat of the #RussianFederation & the #Ukrainian flag in #Sevastopol [#Crimea] will knock the virus of #empire out of the brains of Russians. Russians must see - the empire is dead.”

Former world chess champion #GarryKasparov added to #Russia State list of “terrorists and extremists"
Kasparov: An honor that says more about Putin's fascist regime than about me. All opposition, or simple decency, must be called an extremist by the dictatorship"
Garry Kasparov, spreaking at the Halifax 2023 forum, on the promises of dictators.
**“We have to believe dictators. When you look at their list of promises, they keep delivering on them.”**
A correllary of this is to also believe those who wishfully *hope to become* dictators, such as Trump.

"And only one of them can end the war immediately if he so chooses, but #Putin wants war and needs war. Anyone calling for #Ukraine to "negotiate" is calling for surrender and slow genocide. The only real peace is Ukrainian victory." - #GarryKasparov
Mistodon: #GarryKasparov no longer needs to lie awake at night troubled by memories of #DeepBlue -- a strange new force has entered the arena of #chess: a radioactive #kaiju! This is just a portion of @roboto_txt's tied-for-first-place #ANSIart entry in last weekend's Blender improvised computer art competition on the assigned topics of #Godzilla / chess / skyscraper.

Catherine Belton: #Khodorkovsky warns West of war with China if Russia wins in Ukraine
"Khodorkovsky is due to speak this weekend at the Munich Security Conference, where he and two other opposition figures, the former world chess champion Garry Kasparov, and Yulia Navalnaya, the wife of jailed opposition leader Alexei Navalny, have been invited instead of official representatives of the Russian government."
“A second path would involve the West rapidly and significantly stepping up military assistance to include long-range missiles and fighter jets that would allow Ukraine to destroy Russian supply lines.
The only thing that can break the situation on the battlefield is aviation,” Khodorkovsky said. “Everything else is secondary.”

>> Ukraine could have surrendered to the slow torture of occupation, to die in captivity while Western leaders expressed deep concerns and held negotiations for years as Putin prepared his next attack. Instead, they fight like hell. Helping Ukraine helps us all. <<
