The CSTO may not leave, said the head of the US State Department, Anthony Blinken. “When Russians enter your home, it is sometimes very difficult to get them to leave,” Blinen said, adding that he intends to warn the Kazakh authorities that it will be difficult for them later to reduce Russia's influence.
The very introduction of troops, according to the head of the State Department, also raises questions, as well as the state of emergency declared throughout the country.
“It seems to me that the Kazakh authorities and the government certainly have the ability to adequately respond to the protests and to do so, respecting the rights of the protesters and maintaining law and order. Therefore, it is not clear why they felt the need for any external assistance, ”Blinken said.
🗣 - The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation called Blinken's words "in a boorish manner" a joke and offered him his "history lesson": "when there are Americans in your house, it can be difficult to stay alive, not to be robbed or raped"
