Garry Kasparov, the former world chess champion turned anti-Russia fanatic, now chairman of the Renew Democracy Initiative and the Human Rights Foundation, was given free rein on CNN to rant about Putin, while throwing in a few barbs at Xi Jinping.
Kasparov retails all the tired accusations, without evidence, of course, about Putin killing dissidents, invading Ukraine, interfering in the U.S. elections, etc. He brags about his own incarceration in 2007, where he refused to eat the prison food, “insisting they allow my mother to bring me provisions.”
Russia, he states, is “stagnating under dictatorship” — a rather strange assertion given the total breakdown taking place in the entire trans-Atlantic region. Rather humorously, Kasparov writes:
“Putin even accused American intelligence agencies of supporting Navalny, which, unfortunately, isn’t likely.”
