👉 Support Ukraine militarily, immediately, everything but boots on the ground. All weapons, intel, cyber.
👉 Bankrupt Putin’s war machine. Freeze & seize Russia’s finances & those of him and his gang.
👉 Kick Russia out of every intl & financial institution. PACE, Interpol, etc.
👉 Recall all ambassadors from Russia. There is no point in talking. The new unified message is “stop or be isolated completely”.
👉 Ban all elements of Putin’s global propaganda machine. Turn them off, shut them down, send them home. Stop helping the dictator spread lies & hate.
👉 Expose and act against Putin’s lackeys in the free world. If Schröder and his ilk continue to work for Putin, bring charges. Ask the owners & advertisers of networks platforming Putin propagandists like Carlson why they allow it.
👉 Replace Russian oil & gas. Pressure OPEC, increase production, reopen Keystone. You can’t save the planet if you don’t save the people on it.
👉 Acknowledge there will be costs, sacrifices. We waited too long, the price is high, but it will only get higher. It’s time to fight.
👉 Cannot ignore the political 5th column of Putinists, from the far right & left in EU to the tankies & Trump & his GOP followers in the US. They may have the right to support a brutal dictator’s war in order to criticize Biden, but it’s disgusting and anti-American. Do not forget.

Garry Kasparov is a master of strategy, and here he provides a useful and strategic breakdown of the Success Factors necessary for Ukraine victory, extending that vision to include russian exposure and isolation.
We can all consider each factor in detail and amplify those moves which will make each one more likely – for example:
- “expose and act” – amplify trusted orgs and sources that expose the problems and necessary actions, for example
- https://leave-russia.org/ .
- “do not forget the political 5th” – there are orgs dedicated to identifying truth and gaining trust in the process. Two of my favourites: Meidas Touch

Had all Garry’s recommendations been followed to the letter, the world would be in a much happier place by now.
Especially Ukraine.
Instead, we have languorous, lazy, sluggish, leaders who are shortsighted and spineless. The ideal environment for dictators and terrorists.
