Mark Sloan + 9 MS January 11, 2022 The current unrest in Kazakhstan is linked to internal power politics and could have major geopolitical implications for the region. While it remains unclear exactly what forces were responsible for sparking the unrest, Kazakhstan’s President Tokayev appears to have benefitted from the events. Putin has now gained an opportunity to re-engage with the five Central Asian states that have been drifting away from Russian influence https://oilprice.com/Energy/Energy-General/What-Caused-The-Kazakhstan-Crisis.html https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tdckq0eyCTc Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tomasz + 1,608 January 11, 2022 According to Communist point of viev- Russian Communist leader Zyuganov expectedly upholds class and social injustice theory of Kazakhstan unrest, rather than mafia state theory which is a tad more plausible. Quote В Казахстане плоды труда советского народа были либо разрушены, либо приватизированы местными "баями", либо отданы в руки транснациональных корпораций. В то время, как меньшинство богатело, каждый седьмой жил в нищете. В результате социальное напряжение лишь усиливалось! In Kazakhstan, the fruits of the labor of the Soviet people were either destroyed, or privatized by local "oligarchs", or given into the hands of transnational corporations. While the minority was getting richer, one in seven lived in poverty. As a result, social tension only intensified! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
