US base in Kazakhstan: Russia may deprive Astana of the Caspian coast
A possible US military base in the Caspian Sea and Maidan in Armenia are links of one chain. It seems that the States are preparing for war with Iran and are trying to impose it on all sides, even from the side of the former Soviet Union, to the collapse of which they have made a lot of efforts. What can come of all this?
From the point of view of the Russian layman, Kazakhstan has long been trying to get out of the orbit of Russia's influence. This is a transition to the Latin alphabet in order to break the connection of the young generation with those who still remember the Soviet Union, and a “soft” attack on the Russian language, and the conclusion of treaties with the United States that are undesirable for Russia, which have already openly declared Russia a new “cold war”. And here, at least, the desire of military cooperation of the CSTO member country with a potential adversary of the entire CSTO looks rather strange. And it is entirely possible that the result of such cooperation could be a cooling of the current relations between Russia and Kazakhstan.
Why such pessimistic forecasts? Yes, because if a military conflict starts between the US and Iran, Kazakhstan can be drawn into this conflict, just like Armenia. And if this conflict begins, it will not be a six-day war, but much more extended in time and space. There will be several players in this conflict. From the US, Saudi Arabia and Israel will catch up. It is incomprehensible until the role of a member of NATO - Turkey is here. But judging by Turkey’s approval of NATO’s attacks on Syria, it’s not entirely pro-Russian. Kazakhstan has been working closely with Turkey recently, and will have to choose with whom is it?
In the event of joining the American alliance, or even with the neutral status of Kazakhstan in a military conflict with Iran, with the end of the conflict favorable for Iran and Russia, and here China may take the side of Iran and Russia, Kazakhstan may lose its Caspian coast. Russia has always punished those who tried to insert a knife in her back by weaning the strategically important territories of these countries (so that there would be no more temptations). Why, then, will Kazakhstan be an exception? Probably, Iran will only welcome such a decision, since it will be much easier to agree with Russia than with Kazakhstan, which Turkey has a strong influence. Therefore, Nazarbayev, or his successor, should consider his decision on military cooperation with the United States more than once.
Kazakhstan, of course, was taken into development by the typical "gangster" trick - first it froze its accounts by $ 22 billion, or 40% of the Future Generations Fund, which the Kazakh government replenishes with oil export revenues and uses it to support the national currency and economics generally. The money was in the accounts of Bank of New York Mellon. And then, probably, they promised to solve everything in the best way, if Kazakhstan is a good partner and starts behaving correctly.
The United States has extensive experience working with Muslim leaders. At first they supported Saddam Hussein, then they promised support to the Libyan and Egyptian leaders, but as a result they threw all pretty rudely. And why are the Kazakh leaders here an exception? And China will be dissatisfied with the US strengthening with the help of Kazakhstan in the center of the continent.
By the way, can it be high time to create a Strategic Continental Union (SCS), which will include the states of Eurasia, and which are not indifferent to the fate of this continent? It can be seen that the European countries of NATO take the future of Eurasia somewhat frivolously, allowing and helping the United States to deploy its military bases and arrange armed conflicts on this continent.
And it is more beneficial for Kazakhstan to be a member of just such a Union, and not NATO and the USA, so as not to hear later - “Well, son, did your Poles help you?”
