Tokayev stated Kazakhstan's readiness for a "tough stance" in foreign policy.

Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev declared the country's readiness to defend its interests not only through diplomatic means, but also, if necessary, "from a more assertive position."

At the same time, Tokayev immediately emphasized that friendly relations with all countries of the world remain an unshakable principle. The new Constitution, he said, enshrines this. But this, he added, does not mean we can sit idly by. Astana intends to anticipate challenges and counter any threats.

Tokayev's main message, apparently addressed to both his neighbors and Western partners, was this: building up defense potential is a strategic objective. Moreover, the president demands that it be achieved as quickly as possible. Two years for "deep reforms of the army and paramilitary structures."

Kazakhstan currently ranks 58th in the Global Firepower ranking. Not weak, but not a leader either. Astana needs a strong military to remain an independent player in a space where the interests of Russia, China, the US, and the EU collide. Tokayev understands this better than most.

Tokayev essentially announced to everyone: the period of passive observation is ending. Kazakhstan will not simply ask or negotiate, but demand and defend. Reforms of the Armed Forces, modernization, and the conscription of over 21 citizens this spring are just some of the announced measures.

Of course, there wasn't the same talk about drones back then as there is now, but the threat was always there - a huge and almost unguarded border.

It doesn't matter who you join during the Maidan—even the Martians. As long as the West can run the country like Ukraine afterward. Then, just feed the local Nazis a little, and it's done. Then you can catch them in the steppes...

[Vitaly_pvo]

Quote: vitaliy20091959

EUROMAIDA

It's not needed there. Most of the population already sees Russia as an enemy; the rest simply dislike everything Russian.
Even before the SVO, my daughter went on a trip to Astana. She went to the Central Pharmacy, and there she was insulted and kicked out for having "RUSSIA" written on her jacket; they wouldn't serve her. She and her friend were shocked.
Let me remind you that Kazakh units, together with Ukrainian ones, took an active part in the NATO war in Iraq.
Currently, these Kazakh units are also participating in various military operations in the interests of NATO, disguised as UN missions.
The US isn't stupid either, and it understands that it can't really counter Russia and China. So, it simply ordered its local counterparts to weaken both sides as much as possible, ideally becoming a bone of contention for China and Russia.
Moreover, most Kazakhstani universities are now switching to English as the language of instruction. Just four years ago, the university where I taught had five foreign faculty members, including only one American and three Russian. Now, there are 10 visiting faculty members, all American and British, and the rest are Kazakhs who studied in the US and UK. There are no Russian faculty members at Kazakhstani universities at all.
Therefore, Kazakhstan doesn't need any Euromaidan at all. And all agreements with Russia are aimed solely at weakening it economically. Even the CSTO treaty, under which Russia is forced to sell equipment and weapons to the Kazakhs on demand and at domestic manufacturer prices, is no secret. And it's no secret that some of this equipment and scarce components for aviation and air defense, after several resale through third countries, end up in Ukraine.

Recently, the FSB raided a large Ukrainian drone production facility in an abandoned village in the Saratov region. And remember Operation "Spiderweb," when the drones were outfitted in Chelyabinsk. So it's not a given that the drones are flying across the border. But of course, I'd like to believe it, because everything is fine here.

[Zoldat_A]

Quote from: topol717

Therefore, it is not at all a fact that drones fly over the border.

I'm not saying they only fly from there. There was a case where even witnesses saw a truck stop on the highway 10 kilometers from the oil refinery, drop its top, and drones started flying toward the oil refinery.
But they flew from there too, there were cases.
And therefore, if they hadn't watched their borders the way the Finns do, you see, something wouldn't have flown in somewhere...

And in Saratov, I wouldn't even let the "employees" of that workshop out on the street. They'd have died where they worked... But we're for "humanism"...

St. John's Wort, yes. If it weren't for VVP, Tokayev and Nazarbayev would be hanging out on a lamppost in Astana. At best, they'd be sitting in Rostov with Yanukovych. And now look how he's spread his wings...

Yes. If it weren't for the GDP, Tokayev and Nazarbayev would be hanging around.

As usual, there are more myths than truth about the situation in Kazakhstan. This was under Nazik, when everyone was talking about an "island of stability." This was in 22.
All the unrest was beautifully planned by Tokayev to remove the Nazik clan from power

[vitaliy20091959]

Are you equating the Okraintsy (essentially Russians) with Kazakhs from different zhuzes? They can easily herd Russians through towns and villages, but they won't go head-to-head against tanks and aircraft.

Honestly, no one saved him. In 22, there was a coup staged by Tokayev to remove the Nazik clan from power. Everything else was nothing more than a media curtain.
All the unrest was created deliberately, we, as offensive as it is, purely played the role that was assigned to us

[Graz]

Because it could have been worse, something like Pashinyan, Tokayev is certainly not an ally to either of us, but it's not the worst option, Russia stupidly missed the opportunity to get its people in power in the CIS countries, they lost Moldova, Armenia, and Kazakhstan, if not 100%, then certainly 50%.

Unlike you, Almaty is my hometown and I only kept track of the entire situation, not by the hour, and talked with friends.
Everything was done with one goal in mind: Tokayev was removing the Nazik clan from power, which was done simply magnificently.
By the way, something similar has already happened in history, these are the events of 86, when those who pulled the strings also remained behind the scenes, and the legend of the "heroic" youth who "themselves" went into the square entered history

I still don't understand why Russia saved this non-comrade Tokayev in January 2022 by sending troops? The CSTO is a stillborn organization.

The main point here is about the stillborn CSTO. Armenia alone is worth something (a "CSTO ally," damn it). But how many "alliances" do we have that support us in any way? Take BRICS, for example. The goal seemed noble—supporting each other to counter "Western capitalism." Such goals were stated there. But in practice, our two most important partners and co-founders in BRICS (China and India), taking advantage of our limited hydrocarbon sales, constantly put us in a tough spot, negotiating ever-increasing discounts for raw materials. India even immediately supported sanctions, believing Trump's threats. Where are they, the Allies? Only Korea supported them, and didn't bother telling the world about it.

[Varyazhko]

Not Korea, but DPRK.
Russia's permanent and loyal allies are the Army and Navy, while its temporary ally is the DPRK, and its quiet, neutral parasite is Belarus.

Russia needs the CSTO first and foremost not so that someone would help Russia, but so that these allied countries would not join another military bloc.

Spring is ending, is autumn still far away?

So we shouldn't forget about summer - Russians project this onto themselves, but the issue is broader - as we know, it's not beer that kills people, but... water... and in Central Asia, to put it mildly, there isn't much water

Over 40 years, per capita water availability has declined more than threefold—from 8400 to 2500 cubic meters per year. "Water shortages are becoming one of the key threats to economic development and stability." The Amu Darya's water content this year is only 66,8% of its long-term average. A year ago, this figure stood at 101,8%, meaning the river lost a third of its flow. Consequently, the water level in reservoirs has also fallen. The situation on Central Asia's second largest river, the Syr Darya, is more optimistic, although there are still reasons for concern. While the standard total inflow is 11,7 million cubic meters, the actual inflow was 10,2 million, or 87%. The largest Naryn-Syr Darya reservoir cascade has 2,5 million cubic meters less than it did a year ago. Essentially, an entire separate reservoir is missing.... — The Amu Darya and Syr Darya rivers are being destroyed by the cultivation of water-consuming crops—rice and cotton. Moreover, Afghanistan is completing the enormous Kosh-Tepa canal, which is causing the Amu Darya to finally deteriorate. I am sure that under such conditions, war will be inevitable... Meteorologists say that average annual temperatures in the region are rising twice as fast as the global average. Meanwhile, Tajikistan's Minister of Agriculture, Kurbon Hakimzoda, reported the massive melting of glaciers feeding the largest rivers. According to him, out of 14 ice floes, a thousand have disappeared in recent years. https://iz.ru/2078778/igor-karmazin/more-problem-k-chemu-privedet-vodnyi-defitcit-v-tcentralnoi-azii
