Hey Kaz:
I did see there were elements of medical freedom protests mixed in to the reason for these protests- But we’ve seen medical freedom protests all over the place and they don’t include the taking of airports and beheadings- However that type of protest can always be hijacked. I can see that occurring, for sure.

will read your link and thanks for leaving it too

good piece. right to the end.
The situation definitely had the provocation feel to it. It isn’t over. Not unless a house cleaning takes place. It would be good to get whatever Armenian troops present there out of the country as well. Armenia cannot be trusted at all.

“The first source was explicit: the whole Kazakh adventure is being sponsored by MI6 to create a new Maidan right before the Russia/US-NATO talks in Geneva and Brussels next week, to prevent any kind of agreement. Significantly, the “rebels” maintained their national coordination even after the internet was disconnected.

The second source is more nuanced: the usual suspects are trying to force Russia to back down against the collective West by creating a major distraction in their Eastern front, as part of a rolling strategy of chaos all along Russia’s borders. That may be a clever diversionary tactic, but Russian military intel is watching. Closely. And for the sake of the usual suspects, this better may not be interpreted – ominously – as a war provocation.”
