There are a few other threads on this topic, but the important point from this article is that that an illegitimate government claims that it is fighting not its own people, but “international terrorist gangs”. Does that sound familiar to anyone watching Nazi Pelosi's sham January 6th Committee? Domestic protesters aren't just political opponents, but terrorists!

Perhaps, opponents of Putin's plan to recreate the USSR in Belarus, or the Donbass region might take this opportunity to press the issue, and spread Putin's storm troops thin and win the day. It simply reminds me that a year later, no one here is doing much anything about a blatantly stolen election. We haven't even had an organized economic boycott of Chinese made goods, and many self-proclaimed conservatives continue to watch Murdoch's FAUX News, because it targets them. The battle of the day is Internationalism vs. Nationalism. When do people wake up to that fact?

**************

Perhaps its because we don’t have a political party that fights for us.

If we had a real party with principles and convictions, and was willing to fight for them, maybe things maybe things would be different. Just saying.

I wonder why the media doesn’t report on this. It seems like they’re totally focused on their domestic agenda and are afraid people will be traumatized or confused. In my estimation the media sinks lower and lower. They don’t even pretend they’re reporting news anymore.

It also shows fundamental weakness: he had to call in foreign troops because his own army couldn’t be trusted to shoot their own people. I read something similar about the Maidan protests in Ukraine. Yanukovich had snipers (Ukrainian or Russian) shooting protesters but his own forces refused to open fire and that’s when he ran out of Ukraine.

If the Capital rioters on Jan 6 had beheaded Capitol Hill police, would you have excused them as political opponents of an illegitimate Government? And condemned security forces using deadly means against them,

The current Kazakh president is an elected successor to a strongman regime ( also “ elected’) and propped up for almost 3 decades by US politicians…most notably the Clintons.

Who are we to lecture about democratic elections, anyway, That ship of moral standing sailed a year ago.

Notice to Foggy Bottom and the CIA:
Putin read your playbook, you magnificent bastards.
Hopefully he has learned from what the US and their proxies did in Syria, Libya, Ukraine, and all the other “ civil wars” that were sprung as color revolutions, and from decades past. Hopefully Russia will act early and effectively to stop the spread of bloodshed.

After all, when Joe Biden Instructed his lapdog Generals Austin and Milly to do a 21st century Elphinstone retreat from Afghanistan….wtf did they think was going to fill the power vacuum left to establish a new regional order in Central Asia,

“ admitted he was the one who had given local security forces the order “to shoot to kill” protestors without warning on Thursday”

At least he admitted it unlike the libtard that ordered the killing of Ashley 🤪

Pelosi and her pals are the real terrorists. We must not forget that...ever!

The only time people wake up is when it severely hurts their pocketbook, or their health and we are not quite there yet. But ever so slowly if things keep moving in the direction as planned and envisioned by the so called ‘Powers to be’ we may get there yet and then there will be a very rude awakening and hell to pay.

There are no good guys in the Kazakhstan situation. An old school Communist regime being toppled by rebels tied in with the CIA-MI6-Soros “democracy” movement. Putin and his allies want to re-establish the USSR, but missing the atheist element or the 100% command economy. The Western governments are pushing an oligarchic New World Order, which has been called globohomo, under a modern day mercantilism.

Putin is raising the Soviet Red Army from the dead. But it really didn’t die, it has been in hibernation all along.

In the 80s Fulda Gap days, the Russian army was around 5 million. Today it is 280,000. If anything it is ridiculously small for the size of the country facing constant challenges at it’s own border.

But neocons have to ponificate about something.

“Why Putin Just Raised a Massive Army Back From the Dead”

With a title like that, would it be too much to expect some talk of numbers compared to the recent past, and then back to the Soviet days?

I learned in a news report today that (1) 18% of Bitcoin mining runs on Bitcoin farms in ............. Kazakhstan (making Kazakhstan the 2nd largest holder of Bitcoin mining farms), and (2) that mining was shut down with the shut down of the Internet in Kazakhstan yesterday, with Bitcoin dropping to a values last seen in September.

Is there any relationship between the crypto currencies, sovereign nations concerns about them and the events in Kazakhstan, or is Bitcoin merely a temporary casualty of events that have nothing to do with it, one wonders.

What makes him an "illegitimate government"? Isn't he the elected President? The protests aren't against his election, they're just generic social/economic protests, correct?
