Garry Kasparov and Gabrielius Landsbergis have published an essay
Politico, 08/03/2025
I am far from being sure that all the descriptions provided in that article correspond to reality.
For example:
For example:
- The article argues that the European Union is based on a free market, free trade. However, to my knowledge, one of the reasons why the European Union was established was to ruin the Soviet Union economically. The European Union has applied economic sanctions, economic boycotts, etc.
- The article contains grave factual mistakes/omissions concerning the "Minsk Agreements". It is public knowledge that Ukraine never intended to follow these agreements.
- The article ignores the fact that the European Commission is an unelected organ.
- Etc.
When a chessplayer starts to write about politics, I would like to see some ability for analysis.
In Kasparov's case, unfortunately, I have always seen only a propaganda of a one-sided and largely unfounded narrative.
