| Why I don't like the fact that Russia is participating in the operation in Kazakhstan |

| Direct Translation via Google Translate. edited. by Aleksandr Kots [KP] Tokayev's appeal to the CSTO looks like an attempt to relieve himself of part of the responsibility for the blood that is already pouring on the streets of Alma-Ata and will still be shed in the coming days. I’ll say an unpopular thing, but I don’t really like the fact that Russian troops are participating in this peacekeeping operation. Because they will immediately draw away all the negativity from the Kazakh military, and this will inevitably affect the Russians who live in the country. You can't show a man with a gun, but a neighbor with a Slavic face - easily. The peacekeepers will leave sooner or later, and the Russians will be left alone with a part of an angry and nationalist-minded society. Tokayev's appeal to the CSTO looks like an attempt to relieve himself of part of the responsibility for the blood that is already pouring on the streets of Alma-Ata and will still be shed in the coming days. And the fact that Kazakhstan cannot independently cope with either armed marauders or international terrorists (so far no one has provided evidence of their presence, by the way), does not say anything good about its statehood. It's not even a Taliban invasion. * Here you involuntarily think about the combat readiness of our allies on the border with Afghanistan. But since the decision on the peacekeeping operation has been made, that is, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Armenia, Belarus is eager to fight. They all have peacekeeping units, the coordination of which took place in numerous joint exercises. So let them prove themselves. Ours do not need to prove anything. They have shown themselves more than once in real operations. Nevertheless, the first transport planes with Russian paratroopers have already taken off from the Chkalovsky airfield. They, of course, should not be engaged in establishing order, or cleansing, or capturing marauders. Only the defense of strategic facilities for Russia - both military and oil and gas, control of transport arteries acting in the interests of Russia, and the protection of areas inhabited by the Russian population. Well, humanitarian aid, as usual. Aleksandr Kots is prior service Russian airborne. He served with one of the airborne brigades now deployed to Kazakhstan |

| #2 For some reason, many of those folks living in the states of the former Soviet Union care little for Russia. Living in an area of Georgia that was deeply involved in the American Civil War, I can, in a small way relate to those resentments. |
