Sadly John McCain is not with us anymore and I don’t expect any other politician to fly in to Kazakhstan and help support the people on the ground
Kazakhstan doesn’t really have a EU/NATO bloc – that can balance Russia if they want – to approach to like Ukraine. Who will they balance Russia with, China?
Ukraine will probably be their next “Ukraine”.
No, but it can turn into Russian new Afghanistan or Chechnya. Already Kazakh troops started fighting and shooting at people. Protestors stormed building and got their hands on weapons
Sadly, no. Already the military is retaking Almaty. They caught them by surprise yesterday, but the protesters have no hopes to beat a military force head on, and no external power to actively support them.
Kazakhstan is truly the Ukraine of countries
Wtf is going on in Kazakhstan at the moment
Secure the uranium
I think it’s more likely the next Belarus rather than Ukraine.
More like the next belarus from the looks of it.
Is Ukraine Russia’s next Kazakhstan?
The next Belarus.
Is Kazakhstan America’s next Syria?
I think the real question is: Is Russia the next Kazakhstan? The average Russian is getting tired of living in a Kleptocracy, and eventually it’s going to boil over, just like in Kazakhstan.
Title should have been “Europe’s next Ukraine?” for ultimate shithousery.
It’s a different situation. Kazakhstan had already seen the writing on the wall years ago and moved their capital city north to ensure that more ethnic Kazakhs would live in the northern area of the country. Back in the day, the north was dominated by ethnic Russians while the Kazakhs lived much further south, so would’ve been prone for another landgrab by Russia.
Many ethnic Russians have also moved back to Russia since the dissolution of the Soviet Union.
