"Under the guise of spontaneous protests, a wave of unrest broke out... It became clear that the main goal was to undermine the constitutional order and to seize power. We are talking about an attempted coup d'etat," he said.

Was it a real coup d'etat, or a Capitol tour gone bad?

This will affect the US primary via oil prices, as K-stan is a fairly major producer.

Among the boldest and eye-brow raising political moves by embattled Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev within the past days that grabbed international headlines was his ordering the arrest of Kazakhstan's powerful former intelligence chief, Karim Massimov, on the charge of high treason.

Massimov had served as the prior longtime strongman ruler Nursultan Nazarbayev's prime minister and has long been considered his "right hand man". Shortly after, a photo has resurfaced, currently subject of widespread speculation which shows Joe Biden and Hunter Biden posing with the now detained Kazakh security chief Karim Massimov, along with well-connected oligarch Kenes Rakishev.

UPDATE: It wasn't just one meeting

Hunter Biden said Massimov was his "close friend."

The secret bio-laboratory funded by the US defence department - which has links to Russian and Chinese scientists - was also compromised in the disturbances, according to social media claims that it was seized.

'This is not true. The facility is being guarded,' said the health ministry which is responsible for the Central Reference Laboratory, in Almaty.

Official Russian news agency TASS had highlighted alleged social media reports that it was taken over by 'unidentified people' and 'specialists in chemical protection suits were working near the lab so a leak of dangerous pathogens could have occurred'.

The laboratory's existence has been controversial and in 2020 the country formally denied that it was being used to make biological weapons.

At the time, the Kazakh government stated: 'No biological weapons development is underway in Kazakhstan - and no research is conducted against any other states.' -Daily Mail

Wait, the USA is funding a bio-weapons lab in Kazakhstan that employs Russian and Chinese scientists? How many of these damn things are we paying for all across the globe and why? And i wonder who is skimming off the top of all the millions that go to these evil places. Perhaps they are pictured somewhere?

There's a lot of chatter in the S2 community about this whole debacle. There's an underlying theme that this is a color revolution by NATO to install a regime loyal to the west and NATO to move missiles into K-stan. Numerous claims that weapons were supplied by NATO resources surreptitiously to aid in the overthrow and to destabilize the region, that's why Russia was so quick to deploy and activate the CTSO. Also that Russian authorities are moving the elites to their "secret mountain base" at Mt. Yamantau expecting to go hot.

All those weapons illegally smuggled out of Benghazi need to find a good use!

Or the millions of dollars worth left in Afghanistan...

Those are for the Taliban and we don't have use of them any longer. The ones illegally smuggled out of Benghazi are still in the spooks possession, at least the ones that weren't given to Al-Nusra and ISIS in Syria.
