Political, security and economic developments in Central Asia

The aging elite in all the "friendly" post-Soviet states will be replaced by a younger generation with no historical connection to the USSR nor Russia and whose familiarity with English will equal or surpass their use of Russian. The Anglo/American system is based partly on economic and cultural influence: the rich in those countries aspire to send their kids to Stanford or Oxford, not MGU, and they want to own real estate in Santa Barbara, New York, or London, not Moscow. Hell, even the wealthy Russians can't wait to get their money out of Russia and their kids into U.S. or U.K. schools. That is the inherent conflict: the self-interest of the wealthy and highly educated versus the national interest in a world where the U.S. dollar and Hollywood reign supreme.

Central Asia turned out to be practically all stuffed with American military biological objects, which, in fact, are the bases of the United States for conducting an aggressive bacteriological war against Russia, China and Iran. Under Islam Karimov, a whole network of facilities with a Central Reference Laboratory (CRL) in Tashkent appeared in Uzbekistan, and no one under the new president is going to curtail their activities.

As in Kazakhstan, the coordinating center for all of them is the CRL, which operates under the guise of the Institute of Virology in the capital, but built entirely with money from the Biological Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) of the US Department of Defense (DoD).

   In general, the Pentagon has allocated almost $ 200 million over the past few years for the development of a network of laboratories in Uzbekistan and military research programs are also designed for a decade ahead.

Actually, American biologists in uniform appeared in the republic in the mid-90s, when Tashkent and Washington signed an agreement to eliminate the threat of chemical and biological weapons. This document allowed Pentagon employees to get to the previously secret Soviet landfills to collect data on the work carried out by the USSR Ministry of Defense. We are talking about the islands in the Aral Sea, which, after the drying up of the reservoir, merged with the land.

These are legitimate targets for Russian air strikes. They are aggressive military objects which are not local to the host country but serve as a mode of attack on
Russia itself. All these fcuking limitrophe states. They are run by rotten compardor elites like the ones that infested Latin America. Thy think that sucking Uncle
Swine-shit's schlong will give them riches. It should bring them oblivion.

Similarly, this also poses a threat to China. So it would be best to coordinate actions against these covert American forward bases with the Chinese. Perhaps in the future both Russia and China can carve out Central Asia and absorb the region into their own territories. Russuficate and Sinicize the population, and expel those who would resist.
