Interview with Garry Kasparov, a Russian chess grandmaster and political activist, in which he shares his thoughts on the current state of the Russian opposition, the war in Ukraine, and the need for a decisive military defeat of Russia to bring about change.<\/p>\n

Kasparov argues that the Russian opposition is not strong enough to bring about change, and that many of its members are more focused on finding common ground with the government rather than working to dismantle the imperialist matrix that has driven Russia’s aggression. He also believes that the war in Ukraine is not just Putin’s war, but a war fought by the Russian people and government, and that it is morally wrong to downplay the role of the Russian people in perpetuating the conflict.<\/p>\n

Kasparov also criticizes the Russian opposition for framing their arguments in economic terms rather than moral ones, and for downplaying the role of the Russian people in perpetuating the conflict. He believes that this approach is misguided and that the opposition needs to take a more principled stance against the war and against the imperialist matrix that has driven Russia’s aggression.<\/p>\n

Kasparov’s views on the role of NATO and the West in supporting Ukraine, and his criticism of Western politicians for not taking a stronger stance against Russia’s aggression. He believes that the West needs to take a more decisive stance against Russia, including providing more military aid to Ukraine and imposing tougher sanctions on Russia.<\/p>\n

Overall, Kasparov’s views reflect his strong opposition to Russia’s aggression and his belief that a decisive military defeat is necessary to bring about change. He also emphasizes the need for a principled stance against the war and against the imperialist matrix that has driven Russia’s aggression.<\/p>\n
