NK is not Armenia and Armenia itself wasn't at war.

Semantics.

Detail worth considering, K-stan is crucial to China's Belt and Road initiative, since it is going through it.

This smells like what is called a "Color Coup" or Color Revolution". But who would gain?

My tuppence:

Kazakhstan is bloody miles away from Europe, and most americans would struggle to get within 2 countries on a map without names.

Appreciate the timing issue, but outside of that, the 'its the west' gang, doesnt seem to be able to produce a 'leader' nor an 'opposition' even locally, never mind based in some pro-western/ex soviet territory.

Please note, the west, doesn't treat every disaster, man-made or natural, as being caused by those crazy ex-commies that used to rule half of europe.

From the stories coming out, it seems pretty violent, and yet pretty quick to escalate. The Kazak gov has asked for help from its partners, thats fine, where it goes after this, who knows.

From 2010 Cairo to 2022 Almaty: Rising Prices Bring Increasing Risk

One of the top, if not the most disruptive event of the second decade of the 21st Century was the “Arab Spring.” Remember how that started? The first major warning of what came to be a food crisis appeared in the form of a briefing paper on the website of the UN’s Food and...

Interesting, considering that the CCP was busily stockpiling 50% of the world's food last year. Who will be the first to prop up K-stan? Russia or China?

Kazakh food exports to China plummet

Citing coronavirus, China has selectively banned imports from Kazakhstan, frustrating Kazakh farmers and breeding skepticism about Beijing’s real intentions.

China stockpiled on a lot of things before "things went sideways".

They already landed, I've posted video of them disembarking few hrs ago.
CSTO troops went to guard strategic facilities in order to protect infrastructure and also to prevent serious weapons from falling into the hands of the crazies.
