| #6 Yep... that foreign hand would probably be none other than Russia who has nothing to lose and much to gain by facilitating the circumstances in response to the current Uzbek regime. The Russians are probably playing both sides of the fence, but make no mistake that they will go to great lengths to prop their own puppet in Uzbekistan. It is the same thing the ChiComs are doin in Nepal rather than the earlier ugly Tibet invasion that brought world scorn to the imperialistic ChiCom global goals. The Russians will use any means to get national Uzbeks to tear down the Uzbek government, but without Islamic extremists. It can be flavored a little with them to make the uprising appear more legit. The Russians even set up an alleged natural resources (minerals, oil, metals, ores) conference in the D.C. area in late-December 2004, early-January 2005 as a cover to pull together the most dedicated and brightest Uzbeks with like-minded ideas. These ideas are for the betterment of a future Uzbek, without many of the current regime members, and play a future role in development and governance of Uzbekistan. The benefit to Russia would be re-establishment of a close relationship in global strategic goals, and a friendly working relationship in developing the means and extracting the much un-tapped natural resources within Uzbekistan's borders. When the West fell over itself by dispatching teams, resources and money into areas of the Russian artic to develop a better infrastructure to extract oil, and get a slice of the profits, the Russians in turn got the idea to do the same to their former fellow socialist neighbors like Uzbekistan. Except in this case, the Uzbeks will not be allowed to push the Russians out like Russia did to the Westerners. The Russians will already have had the right people culled from within, and the proper puppets strung from their sticks and strings. I will admit that this all sounds far-fetched. But in time... time will be the judge. Never trust the Rooskies, never trust the ChiComs and god almighty never ever trust the North Koreans. Uzbekistan? Just another future economic colony of Russia by any means possible. |
TASHKENT: A witness in the trial of 15 men charged in the May uprising in eastern Uzbekistan said Wednesday the rebels had several US and German-made guns. Mikhail Rudakov, a convicted murderer who was released after insurgents stormed a prison in the city of Andijan on May 13, said he had been used by rebels as a weapons expert. Rudakov said insurgents had 250-300 automatic rifles, many pistols, some land mines, and several types of grenades. He said most of the weapons were old Soviet-made ones, but that he also saw one German Lunger assault rifle and two US M-16 rifles.
