                      Kasparov\u2019s military philosophy: Defense is obsolete: Attack first, attack hard<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

                      \u201cThe art of military defense is nearly obsolete today, nearing its end after a rapid decline brought on by advances in technology.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

                      \u201cThe art of military defense is nearly obsolete today, nearing its end after a rapid decline brought on by advances in technology. The First World War was the last stagnant war of attrition due to III,’ advent of heavy mobile armor. At the start of the Second World War German tanks blittkrieged across Europe, often taking more territory in a single day than the German army had taken in months twenty-five years earlier.\u201d(1)<\/sup><\/p>\n

                      \u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

                      \u201cStatic defense is dead. Today’s warfare is about hitting first and hitting hard.\u201c<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

                      \u201cFast-forward to today and we have laser-guided bombs that can destroy a cement bunker 100 meters underground. Static defense is dead. Today’s warfare is about hitting first and hitting hard.\u201d(1)<\/sup><\/p>\n

                      Kasparov thinks that inaction kills more people than military intervention<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

                      \u201cAppeasement and inaction have killed more people than intervention\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

                      \u201cI answered the facile, do-nothing response that any effort to stand up to actual aggressors is \u2018warmongering\u2019 in 2015. Appeasement and inaction have killed more people than any intervention.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

                      I answered the facile, do-nothing response that any effort to stand up to actual aggressors is "warmongering" in 2015. Appeasement and inaction have killed more people than any intervention. https:\/\/t.co\/PdjeqTzuAW<\/a><\/p>\n
