Re: Russia sends troops to Kazakhstan to put down deadly uprising
#2I was born in Kazakhstan. In the 90s, after the USSR fell apart, we witnessed an incredible rise of nationalism that resulted in anti-Russian sentiment. So, like many other families, we escaped Kazakhstan in the late 90s.
Now..The Russian army is sent to quell deadly unrest. If the Kazakhstan army joins protesters, it could end up with a full-scale war between Russian "invaders" and "patriots" driven by the same nationalism.
PS. 2022 is gonna be fun(not).

After covid I just accept we are living in hell. Everything about the systems we exist in is a joke. At the end of the day, just embrace the madness I guess.

So what drives this conflict? As I understand the ousted government was nationalist yet it asked Russia for help?

Their collective security treaty is… interesting. I wonder how Russian people would react if situation was opposite and Kazakh paratroopers landed in Kazan, for example. Calling civil unrest “foreign terrorism” is not new in history for sure, but not in the age of internet. What to say, no “end of history” in sight

Maybe you can help me here. My reading of the situation is that it was an attempted revolution against a dictator after he made a devastating unilateral decision to raise prices for a critical fuel. Am I missing something?
