“You can not reason with a tiger when your head is in its mouth” Winston Churchill quote when Hitler made a “peace” offer to England
Then why did Ukraine opt to put it's head in the tiger's mouth? Why did Ukraine reject peace both times the tiger offered it?
@michaelwilson9921
They didn’t. They refused to fold. There’s a big difference.
@ They refused to fold. They refused to make peace. They chose war instead. And in war, unlike in negotiated peace, one side wins and one side loses. In cooperation two sides compromise with neither getting all it desires. In war the winner wins and the loser loses. It’s binary. And Russia is winning as Ukraine is losing. Proving that the US Army was correct when in 2019 they stated that the proxy war would be at the expense of the Ukrainian people.
@@michaelwilson9921 In many wars _all_ sides lose, in a great many important senses of that word.
@@michaelwilson9921 Because the terms of peace were complete subjugation to Russia.
Kasparov seems to have a much better grasp of reality than -say- Lex Friedman.
That dude is justa Putler activist.
Not a very high bar...
Just a pretender. Cares more about his number of hits, than the number of soldiers hit.
Friedman seems like a guy trained by the FSB.
In what way is Fridman a measure for „grasp on reality“??? omg. just look at some his questions basically playing with conspiracy ideas. (i.g. question on Plokhij: „are You sure, behind Zelensky´ s decision to stay in Ukraine after the Russian full scale invasion wasn’t Boris Johnson resp. the West?“… ) …. or I think Vladimir Putin just loves Russia and wants reasonable security guarantees for Russia.“ I mean You have to believe the idiotic idea, that NATO wants to attack Russia and that’s what really Putin is afraid of.
Churchill about those who negociated with Hitler (aka Chamberlain & Daladier):
« You were given the choice between war and dishonour. You chose dishonour, and you will have war »
Then he negotiated with Stalin
brits have no honor
@@trevortrevortsr2 Sticking to that chain of reasoning, Trump must be Stalin then? Or did I miss the point like you did.
@trevortrevortsr2 sure, there is always formal, superficial picture things like negotiations and internal reality of making the decisions .
He sold half of Europe to Stalin - in exchange for peace in the Western part... (the usual Western European move, when some Asian monster appears on the horizon)
Kasparov has excellent analysis and insight. Thank you Kyiv Independent.

He’s intelligent and have a big heart contrary to Putin who is devil minded and ego maniac person. Russians will go down with him if they don’t rise up now.

he's nothing outside of chess, he should stay in chess, maybe he's just losing relevance in chess so he wants to sideline politics
@@hetaeramancer Is Kasparov's intellect confined to only chess? It's a yes or no question.
@@BabyBird691 Obviously Kasparov's intellect includes knowing English and understanding how weakness asks for escalation.
Kary Kasparov is a voice to be seriously listened to. Putin is an imperialist. He is a voice of reason. It is my honour to listen to his incisive, intelligent and clear thinking analysis of the Russian/Ukranian war of attrition. Victory to Ukraine 🇺🇦 from Ireland 🇮🇪

It must be hard for a brilliant person like Kasparov to see his nation turning to fascism, and the people largely going along with it. It must feel like you're stranded, without a homeland. I really appreciate him speaking out.
And a warning for the USA. Pity it was ignored

You always get clarity of thought from Gary Kasparov.
We believe Gary Kasparov is a good man and that his insight regarding the invasion of Ukraine are spot on.
I hate to say this, but Kasparov is one of the very few good Russians. It's hard for me to say this knowing of some incredible individuals in Russia who have risked their lives and freedoms to oppose the war and Putin. But quite honestly, they are a tiny minority. Most Russians are either lacking empathy, sociopathic, or are outright bloodthirsty.
It's not just Putin's war, remember that. A lot of the population are just as evil.
Fully agree!!!👍🏻🇺🇦🇬🇧
Or cowards
Unfortunately, yes. Putin's oppression apparatus destroyed many lives and families and successfully deterred any future protests after these from the first days of invasion. These people which were arrested in Feb 2022 are probably still in prison or already dead
You know what's funny my friend??? Kasparov isn't Russian though 😅😐
Ye, that was hitlers opinion also.
Kasparov is Great man. I wish I could meet him just for play a chess.
Bambi wishes to meet Godzilla!
I wish Gary Kasparov would come to german talk shows and german TV. We in Germany need people like him to inform the public about Russia and Ukraine. Too many people in Germany fall for russian narratives and russian propaganda
@moffig1 They are becoming fascists again!? Oh, power over the other people(s) is so tempting!
And Mr. Kasparov KNOWS what he is talking about.
No he does not, he is a lame NATO shill. Wake up, Trump has won, you woke worms are DONE !

Interesting. The same thing says Volodymyr Zelensky. Russia and Putin do not want to stop the war. They are imperialist. They want to conquer. Now that Kasparov says, It makes a lot more sense
Thanks
So if I"m getting this: Putin is a problem, but not the main problem. The main problem is the Russian mindset of imperialism. IOW, be a nation living amongst other nations, respecting borders, human rights and devoid of corruption.
Tak!
wasting money for this? LOL
@@hetaeramancerWe know your life is Hard over there russki😂
Very insightful, thank you!
Kasparov has a brilliant mind worth aknowledging.
Trump has been displaying weakness by even talking about negotiating with Putin.
Well it does not matter anymore. He will give it away, china gets taiwan and the US gets Canada and Greenland. God bless the gulf of america! What a joke has the US become.
And arrogance!
Maybe it's not weakness but admiration?
"Changing borders" seams something attractive to Trump, taking his newest "ideas" 😏
🤣🤣🤣We are waiting for the day of Trump's inauguration to laugh at Mark Rutte's overshooting
This is a stupid point of view actually, because you all can listen to the people who say, that there should be no negotiations with Putin and Russia, but the lack of negotiations pertly led to this level of escalation, it is not the weakness of the West, because the West cannot do anything about Russia having modern nuclear arsenal, the same as the West does. And the attitude of Democrats and Biden towards this issue with no dialogue with Russia for over 2 years just prolonged the conflict and made it bloodier. You have to take other powers into account, that is the only way how to manage external politics.
Kasparov is the most intelligent analyst I have heard.

Excellent journalism.
Great interview!!👍🏻👍🏻
Unfortunately, I think Mr. Kasparov is 100% accurate in his assessment of the situation.
What a fantastic interview!😊
Now he literally is the only voice of a true ru opposition. Single voice among ~130mil of them. Unreal. Surreal.
There is active opposition and they give interviews too, but not as well known. They are Russian battalions fighting alongside Ukraine, and they want to end the putinist regime.
Well done Gary, 👏 ❤
The Russian army's significant losses and declining morale during World War I played a major role in triggering the Russian Revolution, as the widespread discontent among soldiers due to poor leadership, lack of supplies, and heavy casualties significantly weakened the Tsarist regime and contributed to the public's desire for change, ultimately leading to the overthrow of the monarchy in 1917
Very good questions....
a while back, i hit a point where i felt like everything was out of my control. i kept wondering why other people seemed to get what they wanted while i was stuck in the same place. then i came across this book called Vibrations of Manifestation by Alex Lane. i wasn’t expecting much, but the way it explains the connection between your energy and the life you create? it blew my mind. it’s not just a book, it’s like a blueprint for turning your life around.
thank you
Thank you Mr Kasparov; the west has no idea how to deal with these people.
stop Russiphobia
Kasparov are not Russian..He is JEWS
Garry you are the best, now as always
Man I remember Kasparov warning everyone about Putin way back when. I'm not too proud to admit that I thought HE was crazy and fell for the propaganda. Even during 2014, I coped and could not reconcile the difference between what I was seeing and what I believed. Cognitive dissonance I think it's called. What snapped me out of it was the main invasion itself. Kasparov was right all along and I, like many others wasn't listening.
I needed three years, since the start of the invasion, too understand what he meant. Now i think i can see it clear, finally.
Olga Lautman is a great explainer and voice to follow. She has a Substack. She has been explaining the Russian mindset and Putin for decades.
@@melissabruhn1429 thanks i'll check her out!
Gary Kasparov: One of the very few good Russians.
But of course, he's not exsctly russian but born in Baku, Azerbaijan SSR, Soviet Union.
Like always G.K. 100% right. Too alone in the West.
Gary is spot on.
My view Ukraine must be freedom and rise up.
So why doesn't Russia withdraw and let them?
Yes and the ”west” need to help with that

Amazing interview!
Kasparov lives in the US. He is unaffected by the destruction of Ukraine.
Do you like him dead, or in prison for being a free thinker?
Why have so many young, best brightest thinkers left Russia since Feb 2022?!!
By that standard everybody who doesn't live in Ukraine is unaffected by the destruction of Ukraine. Does that mean that we don't care about the destruction of Ukraine? Of course not!
Olga Lautman is another excellent voice.
Her Substack is a great follow.
imagine an alternate world where Garry Kasparov was russian president, Kamala Harris was american President, Enrique Capriles was Venezuelan president, Reza Pahlavi was king of iran, Kurdistan was independent and at peace with Turkey, wouldnt that be a nice world.
Garri Kimowitsch, you probably do not remember, but we once shook hands after your win against Korchnoi in Luzern 1982. A smart being like you may acknowledge that there is also a geopolitical chessboard (see Brzezinski) on which the US plays a significant role in this conflict. Best wishes, Alexander Unzicker
Kasparov has the brains ! Slava Ukraine !
Sharp analysis.
I lost all faith in Navalnõi, when asked in an interview, "if you were to become president, would you give Crimea back to Ukraine?" he said: "well, there would have to be a proper, legitimate referendum first, with western observers, etc," while the correct answer would have been "Absolutely! The amount of guilt our nation bears before Ukraine is staggering. Even if Crimeans WANTED to join us, we couldn't morally accept that. It's unthinkable. That ship has sailed... in 1933, to be frank."
Что такого важного в Крыму, что эти народы из-за него воюют?
Для меня это всего лишь несколько камней..

Kasparov lives in a world of ideas, not in a practical political reality. It's easy for him to tell the "free world" to escalate the conflict, though harder for a politician to tell families to offer their children on the battlefield. Also, it is understandable that Europe does not want to play "Russian roulette" with Putin's nuclear arsenal. Dissing the Navalnys, who put their lives on the line, telling us that "The Russian imperial mindset is the real enemy" is distasteful. Geopolitics is all black & white with the old chess master.
So you're buying Russian propaganda Talking Points, and giving in to Russian Nuclear Blackmail.
