Vladimir Putin is a confused man. He attempted to create his own economic power engine by linking with other countries of the old Soviet Union. Then for the countries still autonomous from the communists, Putin destroys their economy as if it is not necessary.
Putin destroys economies while attemptiing to reconstitute the old Soviet Union and building an economic powerhouse. He does not realize it is over for the old Soviet Union and the communists he is dedicated to in his elections have no concept of why destruction of a country's infrastructure, both physical, people and economy is a bad idea.
Vladimir Putin is an illegitimate president that was corruptly returned to office so the Russian communists can carry on with reclamation of Former Soviet states. IT DOESN'T WORK! GIVE IT UP!!
In Kazakhstan the Russians are leaving today. They came, they killed, maimed and destroyed and now they are leaving. They have accomplished nothing except to destroy the Kazakhstan economy. Of course Putin is going to take credit for saving the country of Kazakhstan while people bury their dead, but, in fact he is a maniacal dictator that sows destruction in the name of a long dead Soviet Union. The Soviet Union feel because IT DIDN'T WORK.
A country with borders can exist because people live there, but, that doesn't automatically make the people happy, healthy, employed with a quality of life that provides promise for the future and future generations. Invading a country with people that are rightfully upset about the lack of economy that allows for increased energy prices is nothing but brutal and insane. The people now dead in Kazakhstan were good people. They weren't overthrowing their government, they were protesting a huge impact on their ability to take care of themselves and their family.
Vladimir Putin needs to be removed from his post at the top of Communist Russia to end the killing spree he sees as legitimate. He is hurting people and countries and setting their ability to be civilized and competitive in the global market place back decades.
How many people now dead in Kazakhstan were valuable to the country's economy? ALL OF THEM! How many were educated to contribute to the brain trust of the country? Most likely many of them. Putin is a danger to the world and every country weaker than Russia's military within it's reach.

It's been days since thousands of protesters (click here) stormed the streets of Kazakhstan to express outrage against the rising prices of liquefied petroleum gas, which means it's also been days since the internet was shut down nationwide, compromising the safety and security of many businesses and residents.
Among the sectors that were hit hardest was bitcoin mining, a burgeoning industry in the Central Asian nation.
Kazakhstan last year became the world's second-largest center for bitcoin mining after China clamped down on crypto activities, according to data from the Cambridge Centre for Alternative Finance.
Hours after the internet was cut off Tuesday evening, bitcoin's hash rate dropped by 12%, Larry Cermak, VP of research at The Block, said in a tweet. Hash rate is a key measure of how much computing power is required to support the network and to create new bitcoin....
