The public must come to see that chess is a violent sport. Chess is mental torture. - Garry Kasparov

Somehow people always forget that it's much easier to install a dictator than to remove one.

My response to Bernie Sanders' you know uh stories you know fairytales is that uh the failure of capitalism is still much better than the success of socialism.

Putin is willing to poison bodies in the free world, not only minds. Why would he do this? Why would he call attention to his murderous ways now? Well, I’ll turn that around and ask instead, why wouldn’t he? Dictators don’t ask “Why,” they ask “Why not?”
