Mark Adomanis: Sorry Garry Kasparov, you can’t blame Iraq on Vladimir Putin
Garry Kasparov, a Russian opposition leader and former world chess champion.
When it comes to chess, it’s clear that Garry Kasparov has a first-rate mind: you simply don’t achieve the kind of sustained international success that he did unless you can function at an extremely high intellectual level. When it comes to politics, though, Kasparov has some pretty serious blind spots. In particular, Kasparov is possessed of a personal hatred of Vladimir Putin so seething that it badly compromises his judgement.
