Zero Hedge: Why The Kazakhstan Crisis Is A Much Bigger Deal Than Western Media Is Letting On
Geopolitical commentator Clint Ehrlich has reported while on the ground in Moscow that "the situation in Kazakhstan is a much bigger deal than Western media is letting on." He further argues that the mayhem unleashed this past week and ongoing violent destabilization significantly increases the risk of NATO-Russia conflict.
He asks the key question: what really is happening in Kazakhstan? After all, he writes "In America, the situation in Kazakhstan is a small news item" but it remains that "in Moscow, it is currently receiving 24/7 news coverage, like it's an apocalyptic threat to Russia's security. I've had the TV on here while writing this thread, and Kazakhstan has been on the entire time."

WNU Editor: Zero Hedge is right that in Russia this is a news story that is receiving 24/7 news coverage.

Baikonur Cosmodrome? Maybe they could have put the cosmodrome on the Kamchatka Peninsula or Diomede Island or Wrangle Island?
Personally, I would put it right on the Chinese border in case of war with China. That makes sense. It could be easily taken.
Would have been better a little bit south or southwest of Orenburg (and east of the Caspian)?

This is not big news in the US? Well many of the US elite are parochial. Money doesn't change the fact. It can hide it or mask it. Money to visit Paris does not necessarily make a person less parochial.
Also, the American elite are very religious.
"Kazakh nationalists are overwhelmingly Muslims, who resent the Orthodox-Christian Russian minority. Russia believes that civil war would entail a non-trivial risk of anti-Russian ethnic cleansing."
To think such thoughts are anathema to the faithful. It is Islamophobic.
"the American elite are very religious." �� Except they themselves are unaware of this.
Yes, 6:54 liberalism is a religion. But you knew that. You are just trying to protect yourself from yourself. Mustn't look into to the mirror must you.
Religion: A set of beliefs, values, and practices based on the teachings of a spiritual leader.
The idea that liberalism is a religion has been kicked around for over a decade. Please try to keep up.
Abortion is a sacrament.
Telling people that abortion must be provided upon demand is a profession of faith.
Liberals are dogmatic. They have an orthodoxy. You must believe each sacrament and article of faith they do or you are canceled.
The Left has inquisitors. They have their proctology tools are are checking Manchin's ass.
