Kazakhstan President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev issued a shoot-to-kill order Friday for security forces dealing with protesters following a week of unrest in the Central Asian country.

In a televised national address, the president said, "Terrorists continue to damage state and private property and use weapons against civilians. I have given the order to law enforcement to shoot to kill without warning."

In the address, Tokayev dismissed international calls for his government to negotiate with the protesters—which he continues to claim, without evidence, are trained and organized by unnamed foreign entities.

“What nonsense,” he said. “What kind of negotiations can there be with criminals, with murderers?”

It is getting hair in Kazakhstan. Energy prices are high.

We should have done this with the 2020 riots. Our failure to do so means the fringe Left are making decisions in the white house now.

I don't know. Ask the American politicians who think we should negotiate with and give concessions to people like the Iranian government.
