Coming at a time when Beijing and Moscow are growing closer than ever, they also spoke directly about the events rapidly unfolding in a nation which they both border.

Russia could and should have become our ally. Trump wanted to work towards this. But the left — in conjunction with the GOP establishment — in their zeal to destroy Trump, demonized and isolated us from Russia and sparked a 2nd Cold War.

Kazakhstan calls those who protest their government “terrorists.”
