    Maybe!

    Although in this specific case he's saying we should have done something the first time Putin invaded Ukraine.

    "The price of stopping a dictator always goes up."

    Also Kasparov.

    Maybe I am not up on what he's been doing, but is Garry Kasparov carrying a rifle and fighting in Ukraine right now?

    He's in his late 50's, not unlike many others who are expressing their opinion on this war. I doubt that there are many such carrying a rifle other than Ukrainians who are defending their homes.

    He's been doing what he could to call out and stand against Putin publicly for years, which is more than most can say.

    Is that the buy-in for commentary? Combat?

    Kasparov is Cassandra.

    Always right, but no one listens.

    He's perfectly free to comment. It's just particularly easy to tell other people they have a responsibility to take on a fight.

    Whew, that was close. If France is doing something about Putin, we can all relax.

    Meanwhile Le Pen continues to gather momentum.

    Putin may have that leverage, but has yet to employ it. Not saying he won't eventually, but if such a move was to his advantage, I wonder why he hasn't done it.

    Is it fair to say that the Western allies have been doing almost everything they can to help, short of actually putting boots on the ground and pulling triggers?

    His activism is pretty well documented. I think he's earned the right to scold us.
