Quick take on the situation in #Kazakhstan. The rapid escalation took all sides by surprise. The military seems to be staying loyal and this is now enforced by the foreign special forces and rapid reaction forces entering Kazakstan.
1/4
While the uprising was initially successful, it lacked a clear leadership and a strategy that could lead to a quick victory as is common with spontaneous uprisings escalating on the spot. Geography makes gaining enough control to constrict government movement impossible. 2/4
The broad participation from other CSTO countries and the bulk of Kazakh security forces staying in line means that Russian forces deployed to Kazakstan do not significantly reduce their operational capabilities on other fronts. 3/4

This official Russian line is a complete lie. In 1939 USSR was allied with the Third Reich and the secret Molotov-Ribbentrop pact placed Finland into the Soviet hands. Germany refused to help Finland and blocked military aid to Finland during Winter War.
In fact the German Navy had a secret submarine base operating in the USSR during the Winter War. German military operations were done from Soviet soil as their ally.

On this day in in 1939, after false flag attack and propaganda offensive, the Soviet Red Army launched an invasion of Finland all along the 1300 km border. The following #WinterWar would last 105 days with Finland holding off the Soviet attacks.

81 years ago today the Winter War between Finland and Soviet Union ended. Finland paid heavily for the peace, but the sacrifice saved the nation from a genocide in Stalin's hands.

Saving a nation takes everyone's effort. Men and women put their hearts into saving Finland from the Soviet hordes.

80 years ago in 1939 the Finnish nation underwent it's greatest crucible when the USSR attempted to invade the democratic peaceful nation.

I will collect my tweets on the #WinterWar80 into this thread for an easy walkthrough of the 105 days of war, that broke out on Nov 30th.
