Even US government mouthpiece the NY Times, which is staunchly supporting the protests in Kazakhstan, admits they are very violent.
Rioters are burning government buildings and police cars. At least 8 police officers have already been killed.
They're not "Peaceful Protests"™

Why would the US want a "color revolution" in Kazakhstan? It's a key ally of Russia (sharing a huge border), full member of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, and major part of China's Belt and Road Initiative.
As with everything these days, this is part of the new cold war

Russia has important talks with the US/NATO next week, making the timing of the violent riots in Kazakhstan more suspicious
The irony of Western gov'ts backing violent Kazakh rioters storming the capitol *on the anniversary of the January 6 US Trumpist riots* can't be overstated

3 weeks ago, the US embassy sent out a "demonstration alert" BEFOREHAND, informing people on where and when to protest in Kazakhstan
It even gave the specific locations in various cities and the hour 😂
The US mission posted another demonstration alert today, after they started

Very misleading: Yes, US embassies often post warnings like these, BUT I have never seen them *publish the exact location and times of the protests*.
The US embassy demonstration alert in Kazakhstan was clearly promotion/publicity disguised as a "warning"
