And Pelosi wept.

I guess Russia doesn’t have enough uranium, oil, and internet p0rn. They want to corner those markets by gobbling up the Kazakhs again.

[frank ballenger]

Putin has given them a License to Kill. Do they get double oh ratings to go with it?

[Neanderthal]

They need to send Borat in to calm everyone down.

[LukeL]

Just trying to get back those satellite stan nations they once held.

Can we rent some para peacekeepers to keep us safe from Antifa and BLM? 🤪

It was a “mostly peaceful” protest.

[PGR88]

I would have first guessed that this was possibly some foreign intelligence agency’s doing (ahem CIA, cough...)

But given the rapid escalation of violence, the targeted attacks on specific buildings, the videos of people being handed weapons from random cars on the street, etc...

This seems more like a high level Kazakh Government factional dispute / civil war.

How’s the Jab fascism going there?

[McGruff]

protesters being accused of beheading three police officers

Nuke them.

[inchworm]

A muzzy country behaving as such.

[Bringbackthedraft]

It could be worse, its no where near as violent as Jan 6th.. s/

[Mopp4]

Burnt-out vehicles littered the city's streets, several government buildings were in ruins and bullet casings were strewn over the territory of the presidential residence, which was stormed and looted by protesters yesterday

Now that's how you do an insurrection !

[weston]

So while Biden wrings his hands in worry over Russia taking the Ukraine, Putin moves in and takes Kazakhstan.
Biden: 🦗🦗

[philman_36]

Sounds like it's kill or be killed time for the peasants.

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

And it still was not as bad as Jan 6!(sarc) If you can believe that.
I think it would be interesting to see some real violence from the past. Salvador Allende in 1973 immediately came to mind.
There are so many others.
Jan 6 was nothing compared to them. The Dems love their hyperbole.

[JerseyDvl]

Now that looks like an insurrection!

[Rebelbase]

Did Russia provoke this insurrection in the first place or was it the US?

[caww]

When this destruction takes place in ANY protest I’m all for taking it down and breaking it up however is necessary....and yes shooting those who are setting fires and showing violent behavior.

[BobL]

“Putin’s ‘peacekeeping’ Paras say they have the right to KILL”

Certainly beats our “Win their hearts and minds” orders when we go into other countries.
