OFFENER BRIEF VON GARRI KASPAROW AN HEIKO MAAS. Ex-Schachweltmeister und Menschenrechtler fordert deutschen Außenminister zur Unterstützung der russischen Protest-Bewegung auf. bild.de/politik/auslan…
The English version of my open letter to German Foreign Minister @HeikoMaas, who called Russia's return to the Council of Europe "good news for Russian civil society" when it was great news for Putin instead. facebook.com/GKKasparov/pos…
Putin's regime celebrated the good news by beating peaceful political protesters and then arresting over a thousand. Going to the European Court isn't justice. Only Putin's exit can bring that, and welcoming him in international institutions entrenches him further.

When I bash the Trump-led GOP for blocking Ukraine aid I get criticized for not bashing the Biden admin enough for withholding weapons. When I bash the Biden admin, I get attacked for not blaming Trump & Johnson. I get it, but this is the partisan BS that Putin is exploiting.
When casting your vote, yes, "who is better" is a relevant question. But in advocacy, you should speak the truth about all sides. It doesn't "help Trump" to point out the Biden DoD should be doing much more to help Ukraine and US security.
Johnson, Trump, and the GOP treason caucus should be blasted for spouting Russian propaganda & harming US interests, Ukraine in particular. But their agenda is clear and you cannot shame the shameless, only defeat them. But Biden is talking the talk and not walking the walk.

Stop waiting for the history books, I'm happy to blame him now! But the President of the United States cannot blame a feeble Congressman from Louisiana for failing to defend US security & the entire democratic world order against a hostile dictatorship. The buck stops with him.
Turning Ukrainian lives & global security into a domestic football is immoral and idiotic. Trump and his GOP are doing the Kremlin's bidding for election help and cash. Biden feigns helplessness to score points against them as Ukraine burns. Inexcusable.
You cannot shame the shameless. Johnson & MAGA happy to do Trump/Putin's will to destroy Ukraine aren't worried about voters. It's up to the commander in chief to do what is necessary despite the GOP, not whine & blame. Drawdown $, surplus weapons, arms from allies, etc.

My WSJ op-ed on the Crocus terror attack, how Putin will exploit it in his total war in Ukraine, and how the Biden admin must take immediate action instead of blaming the American betrayal of Ukraine on the GOP. wsj.com/articles/mosco…
Putin will escalate, as he always does when he senses opportunity and weakness. Ukraine cannot become a political football. Instead of telling allies like Ukraine what they can't do, give them the support they need to do what must be done.
Putin needs perpetual war to hold on to power. He is creating the conditions to radicalize the Russian population further and to fulfill his new mobilization orders. Ukraine can’t survive unless America’s leaders do what is right, not what they think is politically expedient.

A new loyalty test has arrived from the Kremlin: blaming Ukraine for the Crocus terror attack despite no credible evidence or time yet to make up the usual fakes. Let's see who parrots this homicidal garbage for no reason other than that their master in Moscow says it.
The deep historical connections between Russian intelligence and Islamic terror groups are well documented. There are also many shades of complicity, from collaboration and cover-up to ignoring warnings and delaying response.
Going forward, what matters is that Putin will exploit the attack to further radicalize Russian society to embrace his perpetual war against Ukraine and against the free world. That is the only algorithm now, and it will continue until he is defeated and gone.

You can tell it's AI because there is blood on all six of Putin's fingers... Image
The worst terrorist of all is right there in the Kremlin, no need to search or make up convoluted stories that contradict each other more every hour. It's all bullshit, trying to gain sympathy, distraction, and time Russia will use to escalate its war on Ukraine.
The guiding maxim in every Russian crisis is never to believe anything the Kremlin or its propagandists say. They will always lie, withhold, and exploit for advantage. It's about control. Even if the truth appeared to suit them, they would lie about everything, always.

Attack in Moscow the day after Peskov used the words "we're at war" for first time and a big new mobilization was announced. Can't help but note this is the same formula Putin used when he came to power 25 years ago with the KGB apartment bombings.

Russia is preparing to annihilate more Ukrainian cities and will continue to escalate in the face of allied weakness. It appears the Biden admin is okay with that because gas prices are more important to his reelection campaign. reuters.com/world/europe/u…
Russia is making bombs to wipe Ukraine off the map & mobilizing half a million soldiers. Europe is scrounging for shells under the sofa. Biden acts helpless. Trump & Johnson are asking Moscow for instructions. Graham wants more Ukrainian soldiers but they fucking need weapons!
