1 year agoKasparov was virtually created by Botvinnik - “a staunch communist” in K’s own words; K himself greatly benefitted from (and wouldn’t exist without) the “oppressive shithole”; K was a member of communist party for too long - IIRC he was one of the last liberals to leave it in early nineties(!) which, somehow, didn’t stop him to play the role of “freedom fighter”- the image western media exploited to 110% in late 80s.
Milošević’s main problem was that he was a socialist and against USA (atop of depending on Russia/Yeltsin too much as it turned out), so everyone from the “free world” and every single nationalistic piece of shit (including quite a lot of “the left”) from ex-Yu keep on spreadig the bullshit against him even today.
PS instead of him, Tony could put any, ANY president of the USA - but of course he didn’t.
