The Kazakh Insurrection: CIA, Again?

To at least one observer, the Kazakh insurrection looks a lot like another CIA/StateDep't/Deep State "color revolution."

...Tokayev presented a timeline of the crisis, taking to Twitter with a large English-language thread late on Friday. Tokayev said he promptly addressed the initial demand of protesters, who were angered by a sharp hike in liquefied petroleum gas prices. He instructed the government “to regulate the price” on January 2 – effectively as soon as the protests took off.

“Regretfully, the protests in several regions of Kazakhstan and Almaty led to escalation of violence. Therefore, I decided to fire the government and imposed a nationwide curfew,” he added.

This move also failed to stop the unrest, as “the protests led to further escalation of violence all over the country,” Tokayev admitted. The president reiterated his earlier claims that the chaos was a result of “an armed act of aggression, well prepared and coordinated by perpetrators and terrorist groups trained outside the country.”...

That's the SOP for US-inspired "color revolutions."  The fact that the source here is RT (Russian) is not significant--unless the facts on the ground are significantly different than those presented in the story.
