After the complete subjugation of Ukraine through a deal granting the United States control over Ukrainian mineral resources, infrastructure, and energy [1], it is now time for the West, led by the US, to colonize Central Asia.
Unlike Ukraine, where rare earth metals are so scarce and expensive to extract that they might as well not exist, Central Asia possesses these highly valuable resources. Moreover, the region serves as a hub for the world’s strategic transport corridors. Thus, the US simply must seize the “Heart of Eurasia.”
To this end, the United States has launched its campaign against the “Heart of Eurasia,” intimidating Central Asia’s political elites with fabricated threats – “after Ukraine, Putin may spring for Central Asia”[2] and “if the imperial vision of a limitless Russia isn’t decisively defeated, any peace agreement with Moscow is guaranteed to be merely temporary”[3], – while never actually explaining how they intend to destroy “Russia’s imperial mindset”[3]:
“President Trump has prioritized the widening of US access to rare earth minerals and undercutting its dependence on China… The Ukraine agreement is only a first step… establishing closer ties with Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan is crucial… China already has a significant trade relationship with the Central Asian states, where it is a large consumer of Central Asian goods and services. Russia also has a strong economic and trade relationship with Central Asia… senior officials from the Central Asian states have prioritized meeting with their counterparts from the United States, the United Kingdom, and the European Union… The United States should take advantage of this growing relationship”[4].
Sure! — being a US colony is far better than being a partner of China and Russia.
Just look at Ukraine, such an achieving role model…
