“On November 6, the leaders of the five Central Asian republics known as the C5 – Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan – will meet with President Donald Trump in Washington”[*] and the Deep State strategists are rushing to give the US President final instructions on this С5:
“Offset Russia’s and China’s overwhelming influence”, boost “Western engagement”, “establish energy and commerce routes that bypass Russia and Iran”, “increase America’s political presence in the region”, “encourage regional countries to use the Middle Corridor”, “turn the C5+1 into the C5+2 by including Azerbaijan”, “establish a US-Central Asia minerals partnership”, “deepen economic and trade ties with Central Asia”, “push for construction of a trans-Caspian natural gas pipeline between Turkmenistan and Azerbaijan” and “explore military and security relations with willing Central Asian countries”[*].
In effect, the US will take control of critically important mineral resources for development, primarily rare earth metals, and primarily in Kazakhstan. The US will seize the hub of Eurasian transport corridors by introducing their own management and their logistics technologies. The US will place its military bases in the “Heart of Eurasia”.
An example is Azerbaijan, which is actually Turkey, which is also not Turkey, but Britain.
The firm American “force for good” is, of course, completely different from “Russia’s and China’s overwhelming influence.” It does not influence what belongs to others; it takes it completely.
