Nazerbayev will nationalize the oil, just as the Arabs did; but then - just as the Czars did. We'll develop it for them first. But can we control it? We better develop a "TRANSPOLAR" Free Trade Agreement!

Partially correct:

• When Russia was ruled by Czar, the economy was a fully free-market with growht faster than US (prior to WW-I).
• Caspian oil was controlled by private companies, including British
• Nazarbaev's chronies just admitted that Czar of Khazahstan has over 1,000,000,000 USD in undisclosed American banks on his personal accounts.Which he uses, of course, for the best of his people. He already nationalized (or privatised for himself) all he could, including Baikonur space center.
