THE NARRATIVE AND POLITICAL CORRECTNESS


Threats to freedom of speech, writing and action, though often trivial in isolation, are cumulative in their effect and, unless checked, lead to a general disrespect for the rights of the citizen. -George Orwell

THE FEDERALIST RADIO HOUR: DECEMBER 11, 2015

Garry Kasparov is a Russian chess Grandmaster and often called the greatest chess player of all time. He is also the author of Winter is Coming: Why Vladimir Putin and the Enemies of the Free World Must Be Stopped. On the Federalist Radio Hour, Kasparov shared stories from his 78-year-old mother who grew up under Stalin and discussed what the U.S. could have done differently in their relationship with Russia after the Cold War.

Kasparov said that a dictator who runs out of enemies in his own country, will eventually begin looking for enemies elsewhere. "Eventually [Putin] would be the problem for everybody," he said. "At certain points he will have no other arguments to stay in power and to justify his eternal rule, as to create more conflicts and war."
