Kasparov assumes we’re letting Putin win… we’re not though. Unprecedented sanctions on Russia and massive economic/military support for Ukraine say otherwise.
Kasparov is falling prey to the “do more!” fallacy. But maybe what we’re collectively doing in the West is pretty much about right.
I will say in his defense: Kasparov and other chess grandmasters are absolutely on the right moral side of this — contrast with Duma member and Putin dick-sucker Anatoly Karpov
