Putin: Tremendous bridge ! The most beautiful bridge. Everyone is saying it’s the greatest bridge !
Itโs the perfect bridge!
Tremendous bridge is now under water, big water, ocean water.
The bridge is open. So, yeah…pretty great bridge.
Great interview. Thank you for having Mr. Kasparov on. Great minds think alike. His analysis and counsel is second to none.๐
๐๐๐๐๐๐
Propaganda must be getting harder for CNN to come by? ๐
The fact that Russia thinks they can attack a country but can’t be attacked on their homeland is baffling
@Cameron Rogers Crimea IS Ukraine!!!
@Ryan Elliott What do you mean?
It wasn’t a bombing , it was a military fireworks operation.
@FOLLOW THE WHITE RABBIT Great name. Have you ever heard Grace Slick sing White Rabbit?
You are a great journalist/presenter, Jim! Garry Kasparov has always been a ‘rational voice’ on Russian affairs – for obvious reasons!
@DiscoVolante that’d literally the opposite of what he said. He said the diplomatic community is arguing for an offramp. And there’s nothing inherently wrong with that approach – if they can stop warmongers just by saying ‘hey, let’s all just talk about this’ then they can stop wars. It may not be a ‘moral’ win, but it stops maybe millions dying.
Why would you assume he doesn’t know that? You don’t think they do a background on the people they interview beforehand? Smh
@BANKO007 who cares
@Cindy Pomerleau
Probably because when Jim boy introduced him, he said “former grandmaster”
If Jim were playing Jeopardy that would be incorrect.
You can shake your head and shame now.
Russia: “The Ukrainians attacked our bridge!”
Ukraine: ” ๐”
?
Evidence
@anand Kumar
Well a Russian bridge connecting Ukraine to Russia kind of got a bit blown up the other day, you might of seen it on the news?
@Darth Wiizius Thatโs evidence? โYou seen it on the newsโ? ๐ Oh in that case it has to be true.
The Ukrainian figured out how to destroy the road bridge, and that was pretty smart. But figuring out how to destroy the road bridge and the rail bridge at the same time was genius.
@Petra ok donโt cry when Russia takes out Ukrainian infrastructure, this is a Russian and Crimean bridge, nothing to do with Ukraine, the people of Crimea donโt want anything to do with the fascist Kiev regime, why donโt you respect the democratic will of the people in Crimea?
Well…both are open, so…
A little bit taken aback by “former grandmaster”. Kasparov is former world champion, and still a grandmaster.
Like many, I am annoyed when a news presenter interviewing someone cannot get that person’s credentials correct….
“News presenters” are presentation specialists, not analysts. Their knowledge base is relatively shallow. Such shallowness discredits them when they make slips like this.
As someone else said former Russian GM. I’ll add he is also a former Soviet GM because he was a GM there before the Soviet Union collapsed.
The very existence of Kasparov makes me an even more humble chess player.
But not a Russian any longer. Not since 2013.
Garry let it slide. โFormer Russian Grand Masterโ.
Ok. Not important in this contexts. I love his bravery and how he applies his strategic mind to politics.
He is Armenian
He is Armenian Grand Master not Russian!
Man, I love the crystal clear logic and blunt reality this man puts on the table. Please bring him more often in your programm.
Literally saying he prefers nuclear war to letting Ukraine lose.
He’s right about one thing. East and south (including Crimea) need to liberate; well that’s exactly what rus has been trying to do from the start
Gary Kasparov is just a โPutin Criticโ now? ๐
I feel like maybe his multi decade stint as one of the very greatest chess players in history deserves a mention.
It wasโฆโฆ
I love the grounded reality of this channel… TA is all well and good but find it truly baffling that all major crypto youtubers and social medias like this just look at pure TA and completely ignore the bigger narrative of why BTC is pumping and why the future outlook might not be as rosy as it seems. It’s kinda irresponsible to ignore the fact that each ETF launch so far has caused a major dump at the peaks of BTC. We were already on shaky footing with historically low volume and almost pure whale pumps, narrowly avoiding a long-term bear market. This is the worst possible time in history to invest as so many don’t back up their crypto assets More emphasis should be put into day trading as it is less affected by the unpredictable nature of the market.I have made over 1.8btc from day trading with Mr Robert Noah insights and signals in less than 2 weeks, this is one of the best medium to backup your assets incase it goes bearish,
Fr, I saw the thumbnail and was so confused, like, are we referring to this legend as some random guy?
He’s not a former chess grandmaster, he’s a former world champion and still a current grandmaster.
@Bryan Dimery It’s 100% certain other politicians have pastimes unrelated to politics. What’s your point?
@Jonathan Stein The lightly-damaged middle span of the bridge is open for them to GTFO. All webcams are off for some reason.
@Jonathan Stein
Great point. They had every right to move to Russia. But Russia has no right to interfere with the sovereignty of another country.
I’ve developed a lot of respect for Kasparov after listening to his interviews this year.
I have only recently learned of Mr. Kasparov’s efforts beyond chess, just this year I am embarrassed to report. From his track record of meaningful success in support of humanity, to a wide-ranging application of a keen intellect, I hereby award him an honorary doctorate. Congratulations Dr. Kasparov.
Well clearly he’s no Wizards chess Master.
Tip neither is Putin .lol.
Doctorate from a dunce to a sellout from Propaganda U.
@Matt26 If Gary Kasparov is a dunce, then you’re an amoeba.
@Melanie S. umm you know he was talking about Michael and not the chess guy ehh? So does that make you less than a single cell organism? Stay triggered Mel ๐๐๐๐๐
I love hearing intelligence and wisdom from older experienced commenters, like Kasparov. Iโll agree no general would want to push the button; theyโd much rather faced a courts martial than be responsible for the wartime prosecutions of a madman and someone who is clearly a megalomaniac.
True, in a Democracy. Not so much when Raving Lunatic Authoritarian Autocrat in charge of โdissident peasantโ punishment = more of firing squad knee jerk sentence anticipated.
Agree
“former grandmaster” — lol, no. He’s still a grandmaster and always will be. He’s a former world champion and arguably the strongest player of all time in the argument with Fischer and Magnus.
As we say ‘Better late than never’. Hoping and anxiously waiting to hear and see more of these kind of operations in the near future.
SLAVA UKRAINE
Not just a grandmaster
A world champion and one of the best chess players ever
AND A VERY VOCAL Putin critic for a very very long time
Politics really is simply a chess matchโฆlooking three steps ahead.
Not just a grandmaster, he’s a former world champion and possibly the best chess player in history, a extreme undersatment to just introduce him as “grandmaster”
Bobby Fischer was.
@VornadoPRO he’s definitely a contender, there’s 3 contenders to the best chess player in history, Fisher, Kasparov and Carlson, there’s strong arguments for each of them, realistlcly it’s impossible to know who’s the best in history, different times have different challenges/advantages
This man is the reason why I learned to play Chess. Putin should listen to this man’s logic.
Hi Jim, great report with GK. However, I didnโt think the chap in Kherson was criticising the war as much as how the war was going. By blaming the Defence minister he was demonstrating how to shift blame from Putin (he who must not be blamed).
