putin will send the russian army to kill anyone who’s against dictatorship.
Here, let me fix the title for you:
“Dictator states publically that anyone protesting against him and his colleagues will be dealt with”
Done
1848 vibes.
I think it was good for the CSTO to get in. Anyone who thinks this is some “democratic revolution” or “protest” clearly don’t know the history of Kazakhstan or what’s going on. This was a political infighting between the elites at the top and had the CSTO not stepped in, the different factions will arm segments of their supporters and Kazakhstan would have been embroiled in a full blown civil war. The CSTO stepping in was the best outcome in this situation. This wasn’t some peace pipe smoking, kumbaya singing protest, factions used the situation with the fuel surcharges to spark conflict that aligned to their interest.
Putin’s empire is doomed. There is no way he can suppress popular uprisings in Russia and the former Soviet republics indefinitely. He needs to prop up dictators and encourage a spiral of repression to keep going. The Chinese can do it because the Chinese people wants the prosperous and powerful country the CCP stands for. There is no such unity of purpose that can be sold to the people of the former Soviet Union.
2022’s Holy Alliance.
Maidan put the Crimean naval bases, the ones Russia’s been renting for years and pre-paid more years in advance, in jeopardy. A potential chance that something similar might happen in Kazakhstan puts Baikonur in jeopardy.
Revolution? I thought is was a terrorist attack.
The difference between NATO and CSTO is that NATO protects against external threats, whereas CSTO protects against internal threats.
Well duh. What government *does* allow revolutions? That’s the whole point.
“Kazakhstan has blamed Islamists for the uprising ” it’s not the West anymore ?
In that case, why is he allowing the Russian revolution leader’s corpse to be located in the Red Square, right by the Kremlin? Oh, I know the answer, that wasn’t a revolution, that was a coup.
Yes, thank you Russia for not allowing us to choose our own path in 1968, truly grateful.
Putin saying words that suit his media narrative, how exciting. Definetly this is more deserving attention than, for example, something about details of the scramble for power that triggered CSTO involvement in the first place, right.
Hww da fuck can you say this bullshit with a straight face given European history?
