Kazakhstan - a wrong move of the West, leading to the revival of the Union

78

I will not describe in detail the current situation in Kazakhstan - everything is said and shown every hour literally in real time, whoever is interested - they know. We can only state the fact that the next "revolution" in the post-Soviet space has failed miserably.

The leadership of Kazakhstan, at first clearly frightened, quickly recovered from the first shocks and promptly turned to the CSTO, as well as directly to Putin. This saved them. Although at first everything looked rather pale: apparently, even on our own power structures, especially the army and police, it was impossible to count on one hundred percent. In addition to the obvious internal alignment, the recent example of the recently fraternal Ukraine put the local security officials in an extremely difficult position - who knows how everything will turn out there and what external forces are involved (and no one had any doubts that they were involved), so you will start your the duty to fulfill in accordance with the oath, and then you will be brought to your knees for it, like the Ukrainian "Berkut" ...



So the very fact of President Tokayev's appeal for military assistance to the allies in collective security has dispelled many well-founded doubts of many people in uniform. And as soon as the first "Ilys" of the Russian Aerospace Forces began to arrive in the country, even hotheads from among the next newly-made "revolutionaries" began to cool down. Those who still have something to lose, of course. As the peacekeeping forces quickly deployed and took various important government and infrastructure facilities under their protection, the hands of local, rather small, reliable special forces began to free themselves for active actions to clean the streets from terrorists. Yes, and their courage, too, clearly arrived - now, few people doubt the outcome of the battle.

Now everything is happening exactly according to this plan - a small, but just in case, to the teeth armed peacekeeping mission, for the most part with extensive real combat experience, does not get involved in battles, but goes over all security duties. Formally, the "Western partners", without whom everything could not do without, have nothing to complain about - the UN was informed that the Kazakhs themselves are engaged in the cleanup. The President of the country issued the involved security forces an unambiguous order to shoot to kill and without warning. Everything is clear. And the lightning-fast operation of the Russian Aerospace Forces on the transfer of troops leaves no illusions - if anything, we will pull up as much as necessary, and no one will seem a little. Here, from our side, everyone has clearly learned the Ukrainian experience and mistakes will not be repeated.

The first of the peacekeeping units to arrive were the Russians and Belarusians. Lukashenka himself has literally just been in a similar situation, so he obviously did not think for a long time. Asian neighbors, who are also kind of multi-vector, scratched their heads for a while, looked to the West and who to the East, but they quickly understood the emerging alignment - if the Kazakhs have this next “colored Maidan” triumph, then they themselves will inevitably await the same. And there, and conventional apartments in Rostov, this is also, one might say, a happy ending, given the local temperament and long traditions of eastern philanthropy ... so the troops really went to the rescue from all sides, and the best ones.

On the other hand, complete confusion and confusion, if not fear, is clearly visible. The fact that everything that is happening in Kazakhstan is now directly related to the upcoming negotiations between Russia and the West, I hope, no one doubts. And this attempt to "strike from behind" and, if not to seize the initiative, then at least to strengthen its own negotiating position, shows in all its glory how weak this position is at the moment. And the latest statement by the newly-minted "leader of the Kazakh opposition" Mr. Ablyazov finally finished off the whole situation. The fugitive criminal oligarch based in the West openly declares that his headquarters are located not somewhere, but ... in Ukraine.

It is difficult to believe that he is acting, being in France himself, on his own. This is something from the series Tihanovskaya and Guaido. But the "bench" of our "sworn partners" is already clearly empty, since such characters are attracted. And there is also a problem with professional organizers. How will the Kazakh leadership react to the fact that the headquarters, which allegedly started this whole bloodbath in their country and decided to overthrow them in this way, is located in Kiev? Well, they are unlikely to thank the Ukrainians. And who there, in Kiev, actually rules everyone, has also been known for a long time. So, after all this, Kazakhstan is also unlikely to scatter into the arms of the West. But he has already fled to the place where they will help, to the only place - the CSTO and Moscow. Yes, and to the collective West, to their standard bleating "about the need to negotiate with the protesters and not use force against them," the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan also responded unexpectedly harshly - you went, they say, there ... with your similar advice, how their execution ends all known.

One thing is surprising: not only do the “partners”, not bothering to invent something new, still work hard according to the old manuals, but even on their own, already according to the same manuals, the mistakes they make do not learn! A living example is Belarus and the recent attempt at a similar coup there. The result is an instant increase in rapprochement with Russia within the framework of the union state. They themselves, in the West, according to their own words, are more than anything in the world afraid of something like the revival of the USSR, but they themselves are doing exactly this, literally pushing the former Soviet republics back to each other. Conclusion: either there are absolutely no professionals who are really capable of something, or their situation is now so critical that they start to make mistake after mistake in panic.

It is clear that all post-Soviet states are literally packed with Western agents and structures of influence. But all this is clearly used in a hurry. They were preparing, and they had long-term plans, they were sure that nothing could interfere with their implementation ... But Putin suddenly struck a preemptive blow, which took them all by surprise. And in such a "out of place" that it is not even possible to hide it. And all the retaliatory steps of our adversary's situation only complicate and worsen. This has been said many times - Vladimir Vladimirovich has put the collective West in a position called "zugzwang" in chess, where any move only worsens the player's situation. But they, nevertheless, still try to move, and each of this very move really only worsens everything. There are only two ways out of "zugzwang" in the game - it is worthy to surrender immediately or to lose after a while. The first option is for the more sober and calculating, the second for the more stubborn. It is very interesting to watch the finale of this game, brilliantly played by the Russian president.

If the enemy continues to try to "move the pieces on the board" in this way, then the parts of the former Soviet Union will inevitably move closer and closer to each other back ... I definitely do not believe in the restoration of the USSR in its former form. But if, for example, the Union State of the Russian Federation and the Republic of Belarus expands somewhat into the Caucasus and in the Asian direction, then the situation may look extremely interesting. For the West, it seems to me, it will be even worse than the appearance of a new Russian miracle weapon. And with him? It's scary to think. This is no longer a return to 1991, but something more similar to 1949 ...

      To revive the USSR, it is necessary to dramatically increase the population of Russia to 300 million. Make a technological breakthrough. Achieve annual economic growth of 5%. Fight poverty and unemployment, raise the level of consumption, improve working conditions and wages, develop social infrastructure, clean up practically non-working "social elevators", toughen the fight against corruption and systemic crime, which is increasingly merging with the authorities. To reduce the number of drug addicts, drunks, AIDS-carriers, HIV-infected.
      This is an impossible task in the crumbling post-Soviet space.
      For the CPC Central Committee, neighbors are only a source of territories and raw materials. No one dares to compare with the Han, even if they speak fluent Chinese.

            The site madeunasru proudly wrote about an industrial exhibition in the PRC last year. A Russian company for the production of wooden combs was presented at the exhibition. And the PRC industry is helping with electronic basing of the Russian military-industrial complex. When in 2015 on TV they showed a broken black box with a Su-24M, Chinese parts were visible.

      Why does China need it? They will snap their fingers and Putin on two legs is right there. Isn't it obvious how the GDP is reaching out to China with all its might. And China? For China, Russia is 100 billion of FIVE TRILLION trade turnover. The main partners of China in trade are the USA and the EU, and for the sake of the Russian Federation China will be deprived of a market of almost a billion population?

    It is convenient for Western partners to blame all the blunders and failures in the shaky post-Soviet space. They corrupted the KNB with Arystan, taught their business to turn out their pockets. The border guards were seduced by drug trafficking, taught Nazarbayev's localism to breed tribalism.

    But Putin suddenly struck a preemptive strike that took them all by surprise.

    And what kind of blow is this? Where are the lying corpses of the State Department, NATO, Erdogan and Zedensky?

      Based on your theses, the most unviable association in the world is NATO, created solely for the sake of opposing the USSR.
      And if you look at history, then almost all alliances of different, but living close to themselves peoples were created under the influence or threats of external factors. Only the colonial empires united in a different way

        Do not distort: ​​the USSR did not drive NATO members into this Alliance with its stupidity!
        And in principle: it is incorrect to compare voluntary political and economic associations with a military alliance.
        For example, a relatively relevant EU: there are numerous "Eurosceptics", and Great Britain has already voluntarily left it ... "out of the stupidity of the Russian Federation"!

          - I apologize, but this "voluntary political-economic" is you talking about the North Atlantic Alliance or what? Proceeding from the fact that the CSTO is already a military alliance by its name?
          And I did not mention the EU. Although it was originally organized so that Europe could economically withstand the rapidly developing world of new "tigers", which simply did not exist until the end of the twentieth century. That is, again, under the influence of purely external factors, and not at all because the Poles adore the Germans, but those, for example, the French or the Greeks ...

By the way, all this is often the fruit of absolute confidence in one's own righteousness, the unsurpassed system of government and organization of the state, faith in one's own "special mission" on the planet, conviction in the underdevelopment of other peoples ... That is, everything that is so characteristic of the expansion of the West anywhere throughout human history.

The possibilities of Russian shipbuilding are much less than the limited Soviet ones. Plus problems with engines. UDC in Kerch began to build according to an unapproved project, without a specific decision on the main engine. Theft is the worst in the military-industrial complex. And the eye of theft in shipbuilding and ship repair. The Soviet shipbuilding and ship repairs were stealing in moderation, and the Russian was immeasurably prohibitive.

In the USSR, they stole in moderation. The pace of supplying the Armed Forces with equipment was not so drastically affected as it is now. In the US, in the military-industrial complex, they steal in such a way that Russian thieves do not even dream, but at the same time they remember the construction plan.

                Of course, I was not particularly interested in the issue, but they say on TV that Europe is suffering losses from anti-Russian sanctions. It's hard to imagine how you can bask on this. The military-industrial complex is possible, but so far no explosive growth of military budgets has been noticeable.

But in various local conflicts, where, as in the times of the USSR, we were still opposed to the West, and not to some local kings, this is exactly what I am talking about, and what is now happening in many points, Kazakhstan and Ukraine is not excluding

                Well, here you can begin to roll a whole. Or volume.
                In short, during the Soviet era, it was a confrontation between two systems. Then the issues of material resources were secondary. The struggle (and wars) was primarily for the minds. The USSR tried to export socialism, the "West" (mainly the USA) tried to resist this expansion. By the way, modern China is the result of this confrontation. Now there is no talk of fighting for minds. Now the central "office" is competing with a poorly controlled branch for control over flows and resources. One side is not fundamentally different from the other.
                By the way, both then and now the parties used the local situations for their own purposes, and did not create it. The ability to organize something from outside is very limited, if not impossible. The problems of both Kazakhstan and Ukraine are primarily internal, and the influence of external players on them should not be overestimated.
                It should be added that the fight for the minds was much bloodier than the fight for "loot" now. The victims of the war in Afghanistan and Vietnam numbered in the millions.

                Quote: Pyshenkov

                I find it hard to believe. The USSR was the second economy in the world, the Russian Federation was the sixth, and less than the American one by an order of magnitude. In the USSR, the population was twice as large as in the Russian Federation now. Science and technology are also primarily a matter of resources. The USSR obviously had more of them. And the United States has even more.

All these Azerbaijani preparations and the war itself cost billions of dollars. What can it cost so much in this Karabakh? Only the idea that Karabakh is originally an Azerbaijani land.

                      In Karabakh, the war between the two peoples is over territory - a vital resource. In Afghanistan and Vietnam, they fought for key points in the region. This is if you take the United States and the USSR, and the Vietnamese and Afghans fought for their land. National pride, religions, political ideas and ideologies are just ways to involve large masses of people in conflicts, to whom it is extremely difficult to explain these very basic goals, like you. Any national liberation movement, for example, is a fight of a certain people, from whom someone else took originally its territory, and, accordingly, a vital resource, for their own profit.
                      The most honest of the modern conquerors was in this sense Adolf Hitler - yes, the destruction of communism as a world evil, world Jewry, as the same was declared there, but LEBENSRAUM was at the forefront - living space and resources for the German people at the reproach of everyone else ... Tough, but honest.
                      And now new conquerors hang up various noodles about democracy, values, human rights and other rubbish for you and you like mugs. And you seem to be successfully hawking it. And the goals are still the same - markets, resources, living spaces and the destruction of competition.

The Azerbaijanis lived for twenty years without these territories, poor, sparsely populated with a predominantly Armenian population. Azerbaijan has spent billions of dollars to win it back, it still needs to spend billions to restore it. If Azerbaijanis migrate somewhere, it will rather be Baku (or Moscow) than Nagorno-Karabakh. The main engine of this war is the idea that this is Azerbaijani land. The economy was not even close.

The official reason for the entry of the United States into the internal Vietnamese conflict is the fight against communist expansion. Here and there, the superpowers have lost. And what has changed? Nothing! And the Vietnamese fought primarily among themselves for power, and so did the Afghans. The USA and the USSR supported one of the parties to the civil conflict, whose ideology coincided with their own (or at least did not contradict, in contrast to the other side).

    It will still be very interesting if the CSTO is replenished not only with the countries of the post-Soviet space, but also, for example, China, etc. This will be the bomb.

    What for? There are observer states that are also very interesting for joining the CSTO. Iran, Afghanistan, Serbia. Even their entry will not be very pleasant for NATO and the Americans. Especially for Americans, since in all three countries they are so terribly loved that they are ready to immediately start to tear them with their teeth.

    In the predictions of Vanga, it was already said that after the collapse of the USSR, some time will pass and the USSR will revive, but only in a different format. Now we see that this is starting to happen. True, Wanga further said that this union state would not last long and would collapse, but now it was already final.
