Garry Kasparov has said that Ukraine winning the war Moscow started will lead to the collapse of Vladimir Putin's regime and usher in a new start for Russia.
"I'm pretty sure that within the next five years, Russia will end up smaller," he told Newsweek. Describing the war in Ukraine as a "genocide," the consequences of which "will be with us for decades," he said that Russian territories such as the republics of Tatarstan, Bashkortostan and Chechnya "very likely will walk away."
"Clearly the Russian empire must cease to exist. The question is whether the free world will work out a policy that will help other forces in Russia to preserve the chunk of territories that are Russian by majority and reform the state to become a future ally of the Euro Atlantic civilization—or will it be totally out of control?"
This is why he believes Ukraine should be given all the weapons it needs to win because that would end Putin's regime "at a time where we still have some staples of the Russian governing mechanism that could be brought into a new system of governance." He envisages Russia as a parliamentary republic or loose federation, "but we have to start from scratch."
I don't see it. Russia seems destined to repeat their past.I hope he's right.
Ukraine has lost Bakhmut and this is just propaganda...Russian forces in retreat near Bakhmut, Ukraine and Wagner say
Kyiv pressed on with its biggest advance for six months ahead of a planned counteroffensive.www.reuters.com
Putin thought it would be over quick as well. How's that going for him?They lose Bakhmut and we pledge another 350-400 million dollars as well as agree to start training them to fly the F16... What could go wrong, I thought this would be over quick... TOLD YOU SO!! Russia, Russia collusion was a hoax, the Hunter laptop was not a hoax...
Recent months have seen fierce fighting in Bakhmut’s urban center. But even now, Ukrainian forces are making significant advances near strategic roads through surrounding countryside, chipping away at Russia’s northern and southern flanks with the aim of encircling Wagner fighters inside the city.
With those high plains now under Ukrainian control, its forces have more breathing room.
“This will help us design new logistic chains to deliver ammunition in and evacuate the injured or killed boys,” said Deiak, speaking from inside Bakhmut on Thursday, two days before Russia claimed control of the city. “Now it is easier to deliver supplies, rotate troops, (carry out) evacuations.”
Well he has his Ukrainian territory and we get weaker by the day, you tell me... I'm sure none of the almost trillions are making it to Putin but how would we know. I'm sure Zelensky is not an actor and is honest, no way is he playing both sides, I mean no one has ever called Ukraine corrupt. During Euromaiden back in 2013 when everyone thought Ukraine was joining the EU... well look it up, I've been wrong about everything...Putin thought it would be over quick as well. How's that going for him?
So are you for or against helping Ukraine?Well he has his Ukrainian territory and we get weaker by the day, you tell me...

Why didn't we "help" Ukraine in 2014? Were you for "helping" Afghanistan? Iraq? Kuwait?So are you for or against helping Ukraine?
What propoganda that Ukraine is winning and the war will be over quickly have you seen? Pretty much all reporting I have seen are saying it is a long war with currently neither side wining. the only propoganda I have seen claiming it will be a short war was from the Kremlin at the start of the war.The propaganda we have seen that has led some to believe Ukraine is winning this war and it will be over quickly doesn't leave a bad taste in your mouth?
I'm generally opposed to getting involved in foreign entanglements. I do however believe that if Russia conquers Ukraine they won't be content to stop there so yes, I would rather see Ukraine fight them (with our help) than us fighting them.Why didn't we "help" Ukraine in 2014? Were you for "helping" Afghanistan? Iraq? Kuwait?
I'm all for assisting but rules have to be set, a bugdet would be nice, some oversight of over a TRILLION dollars would be nice... The arrogance of Zelensky to state he will not negotiate as he begs for money and watches his countrymen diie doesn't bother you?
The propaganda we have seen that has led some to believe Ukraine is winning this war and it will be over quickly doesn't leave a bad taste in your mouth? The coincidence of corruption to politics before blowing this country to rocks and sending them trillions doesn't give you pause, we know who paid for the Russia, Russia... but hey it will be over quick...we will not send offensive weapons...we will not send jets....we will not put boots on ground...we are not a mistake away from WWIII the longer it lasts and I'm sure the environmental damage from the nuclear power plant will be minimal...
