But while Kazakhstan’s natural riches have helped it cultivate a solid middle class, as well as a substantial cohort of ultrarich tycoons, financial hardship is widespread. The average national monthly salary is just under $600. The banking system has fallen prey to deep crises precipitated by non-performing loans. As in much of the rest of the region, petty corruption is rampant.
.
When prices for the liquified petroleum gas most people in the area use to power their cars doubled overnight Saturday, patience snapped. Residents in nearby cities quickly joined in and within days large protests had spread to the rest of the country.
.
This is uncharted territory for Kazakhstan. The country has seen major demonstrations before: In 2016, after the passage of a contentious land law. And again in 2019, after the contentious election that secured Tokayev’s hold on power. But never anything on this scale.
.
So ultrarich tycoons, financial hardship, massive corruption, inflation and doubling gas prices (oh and the people took over the country in a few days). I can’t see how that is relevant to us here in the US.

He’d be stupid not to. Rush in (see what i did there?) and provide humanitarian aid as well as any other farce that would secure him a position of power there.

Hopefully not the tyrannical pricks of Nato and the west.

As I’ve said, my wife is from Kazakhstan and -- despite her ties -- keeps asking me for updates. Go figure.

One of the “clever” things Stalin did was to redraw the “republic” boundaries so that there would be pockets of Russian ethnics inside in case they ever broke away -- which could then be used as justification to retake them. Georgia. Ukraine. And Kazakhstan.

Heard they were just offered NATO membership; that ain’t gonna fly with Russia. Our stupid leaders suck so bad here.

This would be interesting if true…

“There is an internet blackout in Kazakhstan right now, the stories of the uprising being because of gas prices are BS. The police, politicians, army, and doctors have all fled the country or joined the people. The REAL reason is because the government STOPPED UNVAXXED (from) USING BANKS. The people said NO to the COVID PASS. “
People Unite!!”
