Obama in Cuba is a good example of how diplomacy can triumph as long as you are willing to concede everything to a brutal dictatorship.— Garry Kasparov (@Kasparov63) March 20, 2016
Many telling me US conceded nothing with Cuba deal & Obama visit. Wrong, conceded yet more of remaining moral ground against dictatorship.— Garry Kasparov (@Kasparov63) March 23, 2016
Putin exploited years of photo-ops with free world leaders to discredit democracy in Russia. He used them as props like Castro used Obama.— Garry Kasparov (@Kasparov63) March 23, 2016
Obama gave lifelines of prestige & investment to dictatorships in Russia ("Reset"), Iran, and Cuba, strengthening them, not weakening them.— Garry Kasparov (@Kasparov63) March 21, 2016
Free world investment in dictatorships is mostly used to build up the engines of repression & the rulers' offshore accounts.— Garry Kasparov (@Kasparov63) March 21, 2016
