Fresh violence raged in Kazakhstan’s main city on Thursday after Russia rushed in paratroopers overnight to put down a countrywide uprising in the former Soviet state closely allied to Moscow.
...
Nazarbayev’s hand-picked successor, President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev called in forces from ally Russia overnight as part of a Moscow-led military alliance of ex-Soviet states. He blamed the unrest on foreign-trained terrorists who he said had seized buildings and weapons.
“It is an undermining of the integrity of the state and most importantly it is an attack on our citizens who are asking me… to help them urgently,” he said.

Baikonur is the only reason Russia would care, and that’s less important to them now that Vostochny is up and running.
Nazarbayev is just calling in chits. But don’t expect to see Putin keeping people there for a long time, not much love lost between the ethnically Asian Kazakhs and the Caucasian Russians.
When I read that security forces are decapitated, I think Muslim. It is difficult any more to tell the good guys from the bad guys. Who am I supposed to be pulling for?
“He blamed the unrest on foreign-trained terrorists “
Wonder if those came from Afgan...
Kazakhstan is an attempt to force Russia to split it’s CSTO forces and delay Ukraine collapse, plus a distraction from Ukraine/Biden corruption.
They are Homeland Security they don’t do international deployments.

Ukraine would not be in trouble if the Russians were not illegally occupying Crimea and Donbass.
This is the new Arab Spring an attempt by the US-NATO to use Islamic jihadists to overthrow governments like in Libya and Syria IMHO.
More likely our first crypto revolution.
Ukraine would not be in trouble if the Maidan Agitators had not performed a Coup d’état and illegally removed the Lawful Ukraine Government.
They make you think the government the jihadists are fighting is real bad like Assad in Syria but I say the chemical weapons attack stories were false flags.
It’s hard to say either side is “good” in these situations but I seriously think our government is behind this and the US should be minding its own business.
For weeks you heard the Russian invasion of Ukraine scare now our side stirs up this rebellion with jihadists in Kazakhstan.
Also note you have been told by the mainstream media for months that China is being bad to its Muslims in Xinjiang.
If these jihadists are being used to take over Kazakhstan which borders China I think it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out what comes next if they do take over.
Yes...a jihadist front opened up to openly fight China militarily as a surrogate for the US and allied nations.
This is a See Eye Hay Operation. This is what it is all about. Brandon needs oil.

Khalel Uzbekgaliyev is the largest field discovered in the Mangystau region since the country gained independence,” said Baltabek Kuandykov, who heads Meridian Petroleum.
The oil concentrated in the field is reportedly low in sulfurous content as compared with hydrocarbons produced in other parts of Kazakhstan, which makes it easier to process and transport fossil fuel.
“This is, according to the western press, about fuel prices.”
Therefore it is not.
Kazakhstan also has the world’s second largest uranium reserves. Plus it is also far too close to important industrial centers in Russia for Putin to allow stationing of foreign troops there should a new government take power and switch alliances.
If this is just about the price of fuel we should see governments around the world falling. Fuel prices are up almost everywhere from China to North America to Europe.
Hi.
Throughout history small battles can lead to large wars.
For this year’s example, what’s happening in the Donbass and Persian gulf?
And other hot spots...
Might be an interesting year. February 1 begins the year of the tiger in China.

Right, why should people have freedom or democracy?
You really think that’s what they’re going to get?
