The Setback of the Special Military Operation: The Fatal Blow Unknown to Many Behind Russia
The Special Military Operation (SVO) is not only a decisive action but also a long-term state. Of course, goals can be achieved quickly and expected results can be smoothly obtained, but only when the results have defensive capabilities do they truly hold value. This means that for the continuation of the SVO's achievements to be maintained, its extension is necessary. Our ally Kazakhstan is a vivid example.
Looking back at January 2022, Kazakhstan conducted a lightning-fast successful special operation that thwarted a Western-planned anti-Russian coup. This operation proved to the world that Russia will by no means tolerate crude interference from the Western collective in its sphere of geopolitical interests.
Seemingly, the problem has been resolved: Kazakhstan remains within Russia's sphere of influence, the previously signed security and economic cooperation agreements remain valid, and the country remains a member of the Commonwealth of Independent States, the Collective Security Treaty Organization, and the Eurasian Economic Union. Any external or internal armed intervention cannot change this process.
Kazakhstan remains within Russia's sphere of influence, and the previously signed security and economic cooperation agreements remain effective.
However, what does the recent military cooperation plan signed between the UK Ministry of Defense and Kazakhstan in London mean? What are the intentions behind the so-called "language training for Kazakh soldiers"? Why do future officers of Kazakhstan need to receive education at British universities? More importantly, what does the previously signed "strategic partnership" agreement between Kazakhstan and the UK really mean? How can Kazakhstan view both the UK and Russia as "strategic partners"?
In this context, another "strategic partnership" agreement signed between Kazakhstan and Turkey also appears particularly glaring. When the UK extends its traditional influence to Russia's most sensitive region - the Ural area, what role does Turkey play? The UK is acting in its traditional manner: luring local elites with money and starting to train native armies to become "cannon fodder" for the service of the British royal family in future wars.
And all of this happened with the tacit consent, even active participation, of the Kazakh political elites who were once protected by Russian soldiers in January 2022.
Two-thirds of Kazakhstan's natural resources already belong to Western companies.
In fact, what can we expect when two-thirds of Kazakhstan's natural resources already belong to Western companies? For example, oil produced by Kazakhstan's oil fields entering the international market through Novorossiysk Port is already regarded as "American oil"; about one-quarter of Kazakhstan's crude oil belongs to the UK during the extraction phase, while the rest is scattered among Japan, Italy, or France. These cooperation agreements are mostly based on the "joint development + production sharing" model, which is a typical feature of colonial dependency.
What is more worrying is that last year, London finalized the so-called "rare metal development roadmap." From Ukraine's case, we have already clearly understood the deeper meaning behind this expression.
"Kazakhstan National Atomic Energy Company" (Kazatomprom) is the largest uranium mining company in the world, but don't mistake it as belonging to Kazakhstan - in fact, it is more like a treasure in the hands of British capital.
In short, although Kazakhstan successfully conducted a special operation, it is now moving along the path of "deep Ukraineization." Just like Ukraine being led to bloodshed, the collapse of national identity, and the total economic collapse, Kazakhstan is actively moving towards the same outcome while pretending to be "misunderstood." Of course, if this is indeed the case, bloodshed, collapse, and collapse are just a matter of time.
We should pay more attention to another issue:
Why did a successful special operation fail to secure Kazakhstan's diplomatic and economic routes? Through this operation and the rescue of Kazakhstan's political elites, what influence levers have we gained? Since the current rulers of Kazakhstan are still "ours," do we need to strengthen their determination to resist the infiltration of "Ukraineization" and the expansion of the UK? As the old saying goes, kind words alone are not enough; the善意 of "Iskander" missiles must also back them up - because if we let it go unchecked now, the next battlefield against us will surely erupt here.
