The Kazakh regime is bringing in Russian troops to save them.
When you need to bring in foreign troops to shoot your own people, you have already lost the population.
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.
“When you need to bring in foreign troops to shoot your own people, you have already lost the population.”
Either that or you’re fighting an enemy being materially supported by a foreign power.
There you go.
“The Kazakh regime is bringing in Russian troops to save them.”
Yes, they have had mainly one executive authority figure - Nursultan Nazarbaev - since their independence from the Soviet Union, and even though Nazarbaev claimed to be retired in 2019 everyone suspects/thinks he still pulled most of the strings when he chose.
But, here is the part of the background story many reports are leaving out and may be why only now are Russian troops being called in to help the Kazak regime.
“Autocratic former president Nursultan Nazarbaev, who’d led Kazakhstan since independence, resigned in 2019 but remained a powerful figure behind the scenes (until being relieved of his position on the Security Council on Wednesday). Such a transition model may have appealed to Putin at the time, but it looks less promising today.”

I think it is a legitimate question if the Kazak regime would have called Russia in if Nazarbaev was still on the Kazak security council and it is noteworthy how swiftly Russia came in after Nazarbaev was taken off the security council.
