Last year, tens of thousands of Russians travelled to their southern neighbor states to receive an international credit card as the West has expelled Russian banks from its financial services. Also \u2014 and this kind of services is much more darkened \u2014 various Russian firms use Central Asian liaisons to avoid Western import-export restrictions. Such a dark market counts billions of dollars and obviously challenges the US attempt to siege Russia with international sanctions.<\/p>\n<p>Central Asia matters not only for Moscow and DC. It is the heartland of the globe\u2019s heartland, the golden link of the longest and the oldest world\u2019s chain that has been tying the South China Sea and the North Sea for millennia. And for almost the same long time, it also faced hostile activity of external powers aimed to disrupt the economic prosperity of Eurasia.<\/p>\n<p>At this point, Central Asia could be compared with Ukraine: a multinational region with hardworking people, natural wealth, and connective geographical position \u2014 which has become a hostage of the US\u2019 reckless policy. Every political observer remembers how on December 11, 2013, a similar high-ranked US delegation led by Victoria Nuland, then Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs, had visited the kemp of the Maidan protesters in Kiev. The American guests granted activists with sandwiches \u2014 those photos went around the whole world. Ten weeks later, the same activists, armed and inspired, conducted a bloody coup which turned Ukraine into endless chaos.<\/p>\n<p>What will current overseas delegations bring to Central Asia? Its American curator is another Assistant Secretary of State, Donald Lu. Despite his partly-Chinese descent, Mr. Lu is far from oriental politeness, having learned the worst from the Washington political tradition: arrogance, rudeness, and repeating a single primitive scenario from year to year.<\/p>\n<p>In 1994-96, Lu worked as the US diplomat in Tbilisi, Georgia; the very same period, Chechnya, the nearby Russian region, was plunged into war by international terrorists who had unofficial support from the then-time Georgia. Can we believe that there were no American ties in this knot?<\/p>\n<p>In 2005, when Lu served as Deputy Chief of the US Mission in Kyrgyzstan, this country was inflamed by a typical <em>color revolution<\/em>. Pro-Western NGOs along with galvanised street crowds overthrew legitimate leader Askar Akaev \u2014 who maintained friendship with Moscow and Beijing \u2014 and paved the way to the new president Kurmambek Bakiev. The latter used all his efforts to disrupt agreements with Russia and to keep the domestic Kyrgyz US air base Manas which was finally withdrawn only years after Bakiev\u2019s quit.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, in April 2022, as the authority responsible for South and Central Asian Affairs, Donald Lu inherently called then Pakistan PM Imran Khan to resign during the events which could be described as color revolution and coup attempt in this key regional ally of Moscow, Beijing, and T\u00fcrkiye. Just imagine that a Russian, an Iranian, or a Turkish diplomat would openly call Biden to resign as some Americans question the results of the 2020 elections.<\/p>\n<p>So it is obvious what political luggage the US delegation brings to Central Asia during its frequent\u00a0 visits. Besides Donald Lu, officers of the Pentagon, National Security Council, and USAID \u2014 an agency spreading American soft power worldwide \u2014 are also presented. The consequences of previous American military and political intrusion into other countries of the same continent are devastating \u2014 entire cities of Syria, Iraq, and Afghanistan were literally erased from the face of earth, hundreds of thousands died, millions became refugees.<\/p>\n<p>Now in Central Asia, the White House uses the same tactics as previously in Ukraine: endorsing chauvinism, religious extremism, and instability. It is as easier as the majority of regional media and humanitarian institutions are still Western-driven. Spreading hate, they exploit and exaggerate problems which are typical for all the countries of the Asian heartland.<\/p>\n<p>In <strong>Kazahkstan<\/strong>, President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev is an excellent Russian and Chinese language speaker and strong protector of International Law as he worked in the UN. Unfortunately, previous times \u2014 when the West had full influence on post-Soviet states \u2014 still cast shadow on the local society. In the 2010s, about 600 Kazakh radicals joined ISIS. Having graduated CIA-backed terroristic kemps, some of them returned home and set up \u2018sleeping cells\u2019. In January 2022, they woke for bloody street assaults in Alma Ata and other Kazakhstan cities. Washington condemned \u2018govt violence against peaceful protesters\u2019\u00a0 highlighting <em>whom<\/em> it really supported. On the other hand, Russia provided Kazakhstan its military aid along with Chinese diplomatic one. United, Eurasian powers managed to stop clashes within days, while the US was unable to destroy ISIS for years. But Western-inspired nationalists are still active in Kazakhstan. There are multiple cases when they conduct so-called \u2018language patrols\u2019 attacking women and elders who can\u2019t speak the Kazakh language \u2014 especially Russians and other ethnic minorities of this multinational country.<\/p>\n<p>To the South, in <strong>Kyrgyzstan<\/strong> and <strong>Tajikistan<\/strong>, a boundary conflict at their non-delimitated borderline is being artificially provoked. The US covertly expresses support to both sides. Same way, it pushed then Georgian president Mikheil Saakashvili to attack Russian peacekeepers in South Ossetia in 2008; the result was catastrophic for Saakashvili and his land, but Washington never cares about its prot\u00e9g\u00e9\u2019s fail.<\/p>\n<p>As well as <strong>Tajikistan<\/strong>, <strong>Uzbekistan<\/strong> \u2014 the last country of this Central Asian four \u2014 shares border with Afghanistan. The latter fell into chaos as US troops infamously fled it in 2021; in its remote zones, ISIS rose \u2014 as it did in Iraq with the 2014 American forces withdrawal. Now ISIS gangs are perpetually attacking Uzbek and Tajik border-guards, posing the risk of further escalation. So the White House tactic is obvious: to create a problem and to offer a solution. The price would be joining the group of American unequal allies and losing the country\u2019s sovereignty.<\/p>\n<p>People of Central Asia have made their decision explicitly: to maintain and strengthen their centennial economic and cultural ties with Russia, China, T\u00fcrkiye, Iran, and other independent actors for the common prosperity. Will the political elites be able to make the same choice?<\/p>\n<p><strong>About the authors<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Edvard Chesnokov<\/strong> is a foreign policy expert contributing to <em>Komsomolskaya Pravda <\/em>(Russia), <em>Global Times <\/em>(China), <em>Harici<\/em> (T\u00fcrkiye), <em>Iran Daily,<\/em> and other international media.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Andrey Balitsky<\/strong> is a journalist and political analyst from Yekaterinburg, Russia.<\/p>\n<p>Source:<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/lenta.ru\/news\/2022\/01\/08\/no\/<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Edvard Chesnokov, Andrey Balitsky Since the beginning of the 2022 Ukrainian crisis, the US Department of State\u2019s officials have increasingly intensified their diplomatic activities in Central Asia.
