I don't know if Kasparov is right, but I disagree that he is not a careful thinker. He has been thinking about and writing about the dangerous of Putinism for years. He published "Winter Is Coming" nearly 7 years ago now. He wrote then (p. 9): "Giving a dictator what he wants never stops him from wanting more; it convinces him you aren't strong enough to stop him from taking what he wants." You may disagree with his thinking, but it is certainly thought-through and consistent.
