Having failed to effectively collapse Russia with the Ukrainian proxy, the West is now trying the other front available to it, the central Asia underbelly. They are disturbingly successful in subverting the ruling regimes of three key countries: Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, and Armenia. This is an existential threat, and Russia must act to decisively head off this development.

Of the three perfidious regime heads, Tokayev, Aliyev, and Pashinyan, at least one must take a fall, in order to sober up the others. And that is minimal; most likely it will not be enough, western influence having been allowed to creep this far.

Very true.

But nothing of a decisive kind will ever happen as long as Putin remains president.

«nothing of a decisive kind will ever happen as long as Putin remains president.»

Putin does not have much of a power base in the RF and anyhow even someone with a harder grip on power would realize that the RF is weak so for now there is not much alternative to taking losses and hoping to endure until better times.

«some Central Asian Republics like those in the Turkish-led “Organization of Turkic States” want more Turkish influence»

It is hard to imagine why their elites would want to become vassals of the elites of Ankara. Much easier to imagine why they might see USA government protection of their looting of their states as desirable.

The SCO is an organization not subject to American contgrol. America wants the SCO to become suject to American influence interes & control. The SCO is at odds with American interests. The 2 groups, SCO & USA are at costant odds with each other.
