Chess Master Kasparov To Retire
fembots writes "Former world champion Gary Kasparov has announced that he is to retire from competitive chess. The chess grandmaster, a leading critic of Mr. Putin, heads a group of top Russian liberals who have joined forces to keep Vladimir Putin from staying in the Kremlin after 2008."
Putin plays Chess instead of going after terrorists
I'm sorry, but in the Chechnya war, it's Putin who is the main terrorist. It just happens that his opponents belong to a religion with a known strong affinity to terrorism themselves.
While Putin is pretty much a new führer, it was not him who started this strategy. Chechnya was warring against the Russian occupation during the tzars time, and under Stalin's rule, nearly all the population was deported away from their homes! After a thaw roughly half of the population was allowed to return.
Now, show me a nation that would not behave like Chechens do when faced with such treatment.
Kasparov is just fed up with Putin's imperial tendencies, tendencies that tend to go unnoticed by the western world. Russia is gravitating towards Nazi-like dictatorship, and Kasparov belongs to those russians who would prefer democracy.
The creatures outside looked from Alt-Right to Antifa; but already it was impossible to say which was which.
What makes them "liberals"? Because they oppose a KGB chief, oil-industry corporate tyrant? But Putin's not from Texas!
