A Russia-led military alliance said Thursday that it will dispatch peacekeeping forces to Kazakhstan after the country’s president asked for help in controlling protests that escalated into violence, including the seizure and setting afire of government buildings.
Protesters in Kazakhstan’s largest city stormed the presidential residence and the mayor’s office Wednesday and set both on fire, according to news reports, as demonstrations sparked by a rise in fuel prices escalated sharply in the Central Asian nation.
Police reportedly fired on some protesters at the residence in Almaty before fleeing. They have clashed repeatedly with demonstrators in recent days, deploying water cannons in the freezing weather, and firing tear gas and concussion grenades.
The Kazakh Interior Ministry said eight police officers and national guard members were killed in the unrest and more than 300 were injured. No figures on civilian casualties were released.

Probably a bad decision on Putin’s part.
It couldn’t be an insurrection, it didn’t happen on January 6th.
According to RATs this is just a mostly peaceful demonstration as opposed to the January 6 “insurrection” in D.C. Maybe Pelousy should have called Vladimir!
Kahazakstan, Ukraine, Belaruss (White Russia)....
Putin is reassembling the USSR
This whole thing looks like US Taxpayer/Soros funded Deep State Civil Society 2.0 Rabble rousing, via public private parnerships.
Putin isn’t a good guy, but WE are the ones pushing his buttons, with the end goal of destroying evil “nationalism” so We can all have a one world governemt and we’ll all sit around staring at our Smart phones, drinking our Cokes, eating our beyond meat McNuggets singing a socially distanced, Non deist Kumbaya.
Obama weaponized the state department to overthrow governments. The "Arab Spring", Ukraine, unrest in Chile and the much, much more.
The Corporations making Trillions off the pandemic will "invest" some of their profits into the Civil society 2.0 "non profits" and counties that think things are going fine now, will burn.
What the Obama kids haven't figured out is their outside/globalist meddling produces even more conservative, nationalist candidates.
Sounds like paradise
Putin’s pipelines to the rescue.
