Arguably the world's best chess player ever, Garry Kasparov is on a new mission. He hopes to convince the world that the biggest threat to global unrest is not the Islamic State, al-Qaida or North Korea. Instead it is Vladimir Putin, Russia's president from 2000 to 2008 and then again from 2012 to today.

In an interview with Yahoo News and Finance Anchor Bianna Golodryga, Kasparov outlined his reasons for believing that Putin should be what keeps the world up at night. He chided President Barack Obama for being too late in addressing Putin's aggression in Ukraine — ultimately annexing Crimea. And while he views the president's speech at the United Nations — calling Russia's invasion into Ukraine and ideology of "might makes right" backward —he still believes that actions speak louder than words. Kasparov has extremely harsh words for what he views as European indifference to Putin's actions, and he compares the world's complacency with the lead-up to World War II....

~Of course, maybe all of Russia’s neighbors should have nuclear weapons to keep Russia from making them into slave states beholden to Putin and his personal whims~

LOL. Just don’t tell it to Kerry. He might jump into it. Isn’t it unfair that Uzbekistan lacks the nukes so far?:)

It’s not so funny if you’re a peaceful country that has the bad fortune to be neighbors with Putin’s Russia.

Gary Kasparov and Mitt Romney.

In fact I’m not disputing Chinese capabilities. Thinking they are somehow over the top is beyond ridiculous. I think it would be the time to worry then they would be able to mess with India or Vietnam on par. It is still a challenge to overcome for them.

[elhombrelibre]

Probably the relatives of people on Flight 17 don’t think Putinism and its idiotic aggressions are amusing either.

Sarah Palin years before either of them.

What an arrogant little prick you are.

No wonder you guys are such mediocre soldiers.

[wetphoenix]

What counts for arrogance by your book, ansel?

[ansel12]

LOL, clueless as well, what a typical Russian soldier you are.

[wetphoenix]

You sound like a bitter lonely old man, ansel:)

Bobby Fischer is the greatest chess player of all time, not the whining Kasparov, who, by the way, lost a match to a computer.

“We’re also getting more “imperial” by the day. Pray that a conservative takes office in 2017.” — True. Still a long way to go ‘til 2017 though, and a lot has changed and can change in the meantime.

That’s your mirror talking.

The biggest threat to America sits in the WH and rides a golf cart.

[bert]

yes but, Obama is the greater threat to the America he is systematically destroying

Putin is but a trivial force compared to Obama

Bobby Fischer is the greatest chess player of all time, not the whining Kasparov, who, by the way, lost a match to a computer.

Bobby Fischer was the greatest chess player in the world in the early 1970's. Shortly after that, he took on international politics and lost his country, ending up, stuck in Iceland or Ecuador. These days, people often mistake him for a wise man because of his name and age. He's still talks political fruit loops anytime he opens his mouth.

...Kasparov believes that Putin is calling the world's bluff. "He is playing poker while everyone else is playing chess."

Obambi can't even play checkers.

Your 10-15% of chauvinists must only count some extreme version of it. Have a look at Levada poll from 2011. I think the number of people wanting the restoration of Russian empire has even grown during the past 3 years.
