Russia sends troops to Kazakhstan

[PAGANE]

Kazakhstan's problem is geography.
It is located between Russia and China. How convenient it is to destabilize a country that is among your great enemies. And we all know who in the world has a habit of making "color revolutions," destabilizing countries, and then destroying them through wars. Kazakhstan is a huge territory with huge natural resources. The timing is accurate, you hit the other end when your enemy is concentrated in Ukraine.
The bad thing about countries like Kazakhstan is that they become a battleground between the big players on the chessboard and they take it away. Videos have appeared in which, at first glance, "peaceful protesters" steal mortars and use them as professionals. It reminds me of Syria. It doesn't matter who is good or who is bad. Everyone chooses. In the end, the losers are the people. The common people. And don't think that this is a one-sided dictator's side. Nursultan played with both sides. The largest oil company is Tengizchevroil, which is owned by Chevron (50%) and ExxonMobile (25%). Now, with the impending rapprochement of Russia and China, and most likely India, this is a deadly threat to US interests, and they will not allow this to happen easily. They will create tensions on the borders of China and Russia. They start with Kazakhstan.

fully agree, poor Russia, just look at its size and population density

When you just wanna drink Vodka, shoot guns in Siberia and not have babies you get low density population.

People in Kazakhstan are angry because the elite robs oil money. I understand Putin and his reasons to send military to Kazakhstan.

Gaddafi invested in oil profits in citizens, and he received an armed coup anyway, dead and civil war.

that peace loving Putin


A six-nation Russia-led military alliance has agreed to send peacekeeping troops to Kazakhstan at the request of the country's embattled leader as he declared a nationwide state of emergency and accepted his government's resignation amid protests

It's actually the very opposite of that. The Soviet, Polish, Hungarians, etc. troops were invading us back then since they wanted to stop Dubček's and Svoboda's reforms, which the Soviets and their pals didn't like since they wanted to hold us tightly to them. They weren't invited by anyone, they were all outright invaders. That Tokayev guy wants the rioters to be taken in place by Russians by his own request. And most of the country gave them welcome.

And what do you think is the priority?

1- Maintain the peace
2-Control the oil
3- Maintain as ally a buffer state
4- The 3 in equal measure

Democrats in power means war basically - look what Obama did to Syria and Libya causing refugees by the plenty that indigenous European are forced to love every day. Thats thanks to Obama and Democrats.

These people are so useless when they evacuated out of Iraq few months ago they left hundreds of Ameircans behind...

5- Being scared of a succesful uprising, because also the Russian elite robs oil money 🙂
