The end of multi-vectoralism

The pro-Russian blog "The Saker" on Kazakhstan and the recent events there. Argues that Russia had foreknowledge of the attempted insurrection. Kazakhstan, Armenia and Belarus are now even more subordinate to Russia than before, this being a huge defeat for the United States. While I obviously disagree with the fanaticized Greater Russian nationalism of this particular raptor, his analysis is nevertheless interesting. It could even be true - from Putin´s perspective!

Who "lost" Kazakhstan and to whom?
