Pentagon seeks to gain foothold in Kazakhstan against China
Analyst Alya Kaminskaya does not rule out that the Pentagon seeks to use the Almaty hub [in Kazakhstan] as “an air base for reconnaissance and military cargo planes.” She points out that Almaty International Airport no longer belongs to Kazakhstan since news emerged in May that 100% of its shares had been purchased by Turkey’s TAV Airports Holding.
“There are two alarming things. First, Turkey is an active NATO member and the Americans can benefit from Ankara’s geopolitical expansion into Central Asia and the South Caucasus,” military expert retired Colonel Shamil Gareev noted. “Second, the Almaty airfield is the closest to China. For the US and Turkey, it is a perfect facility for reconnaissance activities related to China, including the Xinjiang Autonomous Region,” he added.

According to military expert, retired Lieutenant General Yuri Netkachev, “another reason why the US and Turkey are interested in Kazakhstan is because the country produces about 40% of the world’s raw uranium. “If the Americans and Turks manage to put Russia and Kazakhstan at odds with each other, they might try to choke off our Strategic Nuclear Forces. So, Russia should better maintain friendly relations with Kazakhstan in order to be able to protect its strategic interests,” the expert noted.

Thank you for your kindness, much appreciated. You would never offend me, I’ve followed you for years and was very happy to have you return. I hope things improve also. I can barely even keep up with Yemen events, which is my personal focus.

The carnage, the suffering, the unrelenting misery of Yemenis is the worst in the world, I don’t have to say that to you of all people. What you’re doing is more vital than what I am. Please let me know how I can help, even if only by posting material (if possible documenting the role of Western powers).

Thank you very much. I will do that. I have information saved I haven’t managed to publish. They have increased their attacks on civilian targets and are creating propaganda videos like they did with Syria. MBS actually wants out of the quagmire but his western masters won’t allow it.

They’ve also started doing night air raids on Sanaa just like israelis on Gaza. Israel is involved in the attack on Yemen as well. They are setting up military bases with UAE on Socotra, etc..

Yemen: On the field level, in politics and in the media, a series of disappointments befall the Saudi-US coalition on Yemen. The new disappointment this time is a clip from an American movie filmed in Iraq as a Yemeni missile factory in the Yemeni port of Hodeidah.

Here’s the clip of the propaganda, translated as best I can.
A few days ago, specifically on January 8, 2022, the military spokesman for the Arab coalition forces in Yemen, Turki Al-Maliki, held a press conference from inside Saudi Arabia in which he justified to the world the recent air strikes by Saudi Arabia on Yemen as well as future strikes, which are planned to target Yemen’s important ports, and to prove The danger of the Houthis is presenting in front of the people, the world and satellite channels an American Hollywood documentary film released in 2009 called “Severe Clear” that talks about the situation of the American soldiers who participated in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. Certainly, the absurdity and superficiality of this enemy who thinks that he will continue to lie to the world indefinitely.
The video includes a Yemeni response with a strong Zamil from the Houthis’ fighters, and their most prominent vocalist, Issa Al-Laith, fits the idea and topic of the clip.

Thank you very much. One I have been wanting to post is the targeting of Yemen weddings. Yemen culture has the men and women separated for events such as weddings. US Saudi aggression is specifically targeting the women and children,
