Kazakhstan Unrest and Russian Military Intervention
Kazakhstan is experiencing significant civil unrest sparked by fuel price hikes, leading President Tokayev to invite Russian-led CSTO troops into the country. The U.S. has limited leverage in the region, which is a major hub for Bitcoin mining and holds 12% of the world's uranium. Russia's primary space launch facility is also located in Kazakhstan, making the country's stability a high priority for Moscow.
