Garry Kasparov
You can’t make peace with someone for whom conflict itself is the point. This is true for dictators waging war, terrorists murdering innocents, or populists creating scandals for attention. Stop trying to appease them. You must defeat them.

@anneapplebaum on flaw in calls for ceasefire in Russia's war upon Ukraine: "A ceasefire means that both sides have to stop fighting. [T]here is no evidence that Putin wants to to stop fighting, or that he has ever wanted to stop fighting." https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2023/11/us-ukraine-support-putin-defeat/675953/
