Kazakhstan Russia Relations

Reporting From Ukraine simplifies & overstates.

We should all celebrate, no? Reporting From Ukraine indicates Russian/Kazak relations have collapsed.

Except that this sort of over the top headline is needed due to YouTube’s ridiculous algorithm. Take a look at the panel of China Update videos, then listen a bit to Tony’s sober, fact based coverage.

So what is really happening in Central Asia? The Google results are uniformly srs bsns think tank work that explores the nuanced reality of Kazakhstan being a land locked former Soviet stan with a significant Russian population.

Things ARE going to change dramatically as Israel and Iran go at each other.

Take a look at Change Partners - Iran calls for aid from Russia, and none is forthcoming. The changing structural balance in Eurasia is as dramatic as the late 19th century, and we got two world wars out of that realignment.

I don’t think anyone can predict the final configuration, right now we’re learning strengths, weaknesses … and some secrets.
