Why do you think Putin wants Kazakhstan?
Do you not think that Russia and other countries agreed trade deals??
I've never visited Astana, a quick look over - seems lovely. If Newcastle draws them away in Euro Confrence, Kazak away day!
What do you think when Putin says - get rid of Nazi from Ukraine??
What Putin means is getting rid of the Americans - Nazis.
When WW2 ended, the USA housed nearly all of NAZI scientists.
There is Azov battalion that wears the SS.
Maybe I'm wrong, but I thing when Putin says he wants rid of the Nazi's from Ukraine - he means rid of the USA from Ukraine. As they were the people who trafficked the brain knowledge to get to space.
