Ok, after years of warnings were ignored and hearing "Garry, you were right!" all damn day today, I'll repeat what I said in 2014: Stop telling me I was right and listen to what I'm saying now. My recommendations follow: 1/5
-Support Ukraine militarily, immediately, everything but boots on the ground. All weapons, intel, cyber.
-Bankrupt Putin's war machine. Freeze & seize Russia's finances & those of him and his gang.
-Kick Russia out of every intl & financial institution. PACE, Interpol, etc 2/5
-Recall all ambassadors from Russia. There is no point in talking. The new unified message is "stop or be isolated completely".
-Ban all elements of Putin's global propaganda machine. Turn them off, shut them down, send them home. Stop helping the dictator spread lies & hate.
3/5
-Expose and act against Putin's lackeys in the free world. If Schröder and his ilk continue to work for Putin, bring charges. Ask the owners & advertisers of networks platforming Putin propagandists like Carlson why they allow it. 4/5
-Replace Russian oil & gas. Pressure OPEC, increase production, reopen Keystone. You can't save the planet if you don't save the people on it.
-Acknowledge there will be costs, sacrifices. We waited to long, the price is high, but it will only get higher. It's time to fight. 5/5
Cannot ignore the political 5th column of Putinists, from the far right & left in EU to the tankies & Trump & his GOP followers in the US. They may have the right to support a brutal dictator's war in order to criticize Biden, but it's disgusting and anti-American. Do not forget.

"Russia felt threatened by NATO!" is nothing more than a Kremlin loyalty test for Western billionaires, academics, and politicians at this point. As with most old, refuted propaganda it stays alive due to the ignorant and the propagandists who exploit them.
It's like when a public figure talks about an amazing story and it turns out to be The Protocols of the Elders of Zion or Mein Kampf. The bigger question is where they got it, not just why they believe it. When Trumpists regurgitate the NATO myth, it came from somewhere.
As with the "Separatists!", "Nazis in Ukraine!" and "Ukraine is corrupt!" BS that originates and perpetuates in Russian channels and is spun out into the world of the gullible and those who wish to attack Ukraine for their own agendas.

I only wish the American security establishment supported my views as much as these trolls always say they do so I could stop complaining about them! 🤡😂
At my age, I almost enjoy the nostalgia of outdated Kremlin talking points, back when anyone opposed to Russia (or any former Iron Curtain nation) being a dictatorship was called an agitator under the influence of the Americans. I spend years blasting Burns and I’m still CIA?!
My views have changed little because my values have not changed. I support the use of free world hard and soft power against the rise and threat of authoritarians and terrorists at home and abroad. I have harshly criticized Dem & GOP admins for their failure to do this.

My congratulations to @DGukesh on his victory today. He has summitted the highest peak of all: making his mother happy!
Gukesh impressively surmounted every obstacle and opponent in his path, especially considering his age, and nothing more can be asked. My thoughts on the historical world championship lineage with Magnus outside are known, but that is not the story today.
The level of play was quite high, at least equal to the previous match. Ding showed great resistance. As for the blunders, which world championship, or world champion, was without them? I had my share, and recall the double blunder in Carlsen-Anand 2014, g6. Matches take a toll.

This post provokes strong reactions, least of which is the difference between the Russian and English, with content for the respective audiences. Lamenting RU expenditures & casualties in Syria in the Russian version plays politics when there are no politics in Russia today. 1/7 Image
Russians dying in Syria isn’t the problem, Russians killing Syrians is. We should not express regret over Russia showering Assad’s regime with money, but over Russia showering the Syrian people with bombs. For generations they will curse the Russians who murdered so many. 2/7
As in Ukraine, it's demeaning to say only Putin is responsible. Putin never pulled a trigger. It was Russian soldiers, pilots, bombs & bullets. I didn’t hear of Russian mass desertions or protests. They targeted civilian infrastructure, schools & hospitals, razing cities. 3/7

Had Obama had the courage of his convictions, or any courage or convictions other than US power is bad, Assad would have been gone in 2013. Countless lives saved, refugee waves limited, and likely Putin never attempts to take Crimea. Inaction can be a deadly choice.
This isn’t just hindsight, of course. It was obvious to me at the time that letting Russia help keep Assad in power would have a disastrous legacy. ideas.time.com/2013/09/18/put…Image
The price of inaction is compounding even today, as the US and NATO nations make similar mistakes in Ukraine. Putin learned, Western leaders did not. 10 needless years of slaughter. Godspeed to the Syrian people today. kasparov.com/putin-toys-wit…Image

Biden should have stepped down and let Harris pardon Hunter. This would also 1) deliver the first black woman president and 2) ruin all of Trump's made-in-China "45th-47th President" merchandise!
More seriously, the pardon undercuts partisan debate re politicizing the justice system. Trump isn't going to do anything differently, but it is vital to keep principled arguments against it front and center. "Everybody does it" is a streetlight on the road to Hell.
Coincidentally, as I was not thinking at all about a potential Hunter pardon, I talked about the risks of presidential abuse of power in my interview with the @HuffPost that ran the day before. huffpost.com/entry/trump-mu…
