Fuck you, I thought I'd post it.

Wait
Isn't that the guy who was supposed to meet Merkel soon?
Or was it the Turkmenistan leader?

>UZBEKISTAN

Well I guess I'll take any happening I can get

I know it's not very relevant for westerners, but just imagine, the country was ruled by him scince the beggining. Anything can happen now. And it's a pretty big country by population.

**I'M WHITE, WHAT DOES IT MEAN??**

>Uzbekistan will get annexed by ISIS soon.

Are Russians breathing a sigh of relief? This guy seemed intent on aligning with the US.

I always found conflicts in post-soviet countries interesting for some reason. Better than your average tribal ooga booga civil war in subsaharan Africa

RIP Mr. Uzbekibekistanstan

no one knows who will be next, so we're not. We only hope terrorist won't take control there.

It's very sad, all the Islamists in his country hated him. now they have a green light.

WW3!

do u think the possibility of Muslim gain power would be very big?

You guys didn't leave any nukes on your way out did you?

Fuck does he not have a son or something ?

It's relevant to us because Obama will almost certainly arm some radical terrorists there and claim they're moderate secularists, then he'll bitch at Trump when he says it's a bad idea.

Kazakh invasion maybe
>pic related

Who will succed him? There are probably game of thrones behind the scenes in Uzbekistan right now.

Prepare to get bought out by the kikes.

You suffer under happenings withdrawal too?

One of the only things I know about Uzbekistan is they operate two Gurza class armored patrol boats along the riverine border with Afghanistan.

I have a thing for small surface combatants...

>was supposed to meet Merkel soon?

He probably forgot that merkel isn't dead YET and took the wrong route to meet her.

He has a daughter, but the succesor probably will be current prime-minister.

Oligarchs wont lose their power. They will choose a person among them. Isl*mists have no place in Central Asia unless cia want to overtrhow dictators of istans

Rightful Russian clay when?

Relations with Uzbekistan are critical to US policy in the region.

Islam Karimov was fairly open to allowing military aircraft into his airspace (after he demanded a US Air Base in Tashkent be shut down) on their way to Afghanistan (if America paid him 1 billion, which they did).

Kyrgyzstan could also use this as an opportunity to reclaim some of their exclave territories in Uzbeki lands.

You mean literally making 31,5 (that would be like 20% of total population more of them) million muslims part of our country.

Turkmenistan did okay after Niyazov died. Islamists still get BTFO in that country. Maybe Uzbekistan will be the same.

Most of the problems are in the Fergana Valley, but that's an isolated region.

I said the clay, not the population.

Turkmenistan is literally North Korea with oil-money.

Niyazov was a retard unlike Karimov.

REFUGEES WELCOME!!!

uzbeki-what

Yeah I feel empty

...

Update: Uzbekistan government said that news is false, he's stable.

So that is confirmation that he is indeed dead

By Kamran Bokhari

While the world continues to be captivated by ever-growing crises in the Middle East, the nearby region of Central Asia is headed toward destabilization, as our 2016 forecast suggests. Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan have been ruled by geriatric strongmen for over a quarter of a century, going back to the days of the Soviet Union. Uzbekistan is at great risk for instability, given that its president has been hospitalized after a reported stroke with no clear succession plan among regional clan rivalries. Since Uzbekistan borders each of the countries in the region, instability there could destabilize in the rest of Central Asia as well.

Islam Karimov, Uzbekistan’s 78-year-old ruler and the only president the country has had since the collapse of the Soviet Union, has been hospitalized, according to reports on Aug. 28. According to official state media outlet UzA, Karimov is receiving in-patient treatment and unnamed medical specialists said that “a full medical examination and subsequent treatment will require a certain period of time.” Uzbekistan is an extremely opaque nation, and thus it is difficult to ascertain the precise status of Karimov’s health. That said, Tashkent has never before released information on the health of the ailing president, which is why it is reasonable to assume that a leadership transition is finally at hand.

Uzbekistan is not your average authoritarian state. Many autocratic regimes, despite the overwhelming influence of the ruling family and friends, develop institutions. In sharp contrast, multiple clans from Uzbekistan’s various regions have long been struggling for power. Karimov was able to rule because he could balance the clans from the country’s three principal regions (Samarkand, Tashkent and Fergana) and four lesser ones (Jizzakh, Kashkadarya, Khorezm and Karakalpak).

Uzbeks in alQaeda are going to rule the country now.

In addition, Karimov’s family has been at war with itself – as is evident from the publicly acrimonious relationship between his daughters, Gulnara Karimova and Lola Karimova-Tillyaeva.

Many within the fractious ruling elite see Karimov’s death or incapacitation as an opportunity to enhance their power. Such openings are rare, and there are many who do not want to pass up such a historic opportunity. Of course, some have long wanted to maximize their power, but feared the potential anarchy from making a move against Karimov and thus remained aligned with him. Those calculations no longer hold when the incumbent leader is approaching the end of his rule.

All the factions have been preparing for this day and some may have already been engaged in negotiating the new balance of power for this day. No side can truly trust the other and thus suspicions abound about true intentions. In such a situation, the impending transition is not just a historic opportunity, but also a major threat. Thus, each clan has an imperative to make sure that its interests are safeguarded after all is said and done.

Authoritarian regimes do not have established processes to manage power transitions. In Uzbekistan’s case, the situation is even more dire, as it has never experienced a transfer of power. Aggravating this situation is that the usual suspects, i.e., the various factions that form the country’s mainstream, aren’t the only ones eyeing the transition. Since the 1990s, the country has produced the largest jihadist movement in all of Central Asia. It is unclear to what extent insurrectionist Islamists are present in the country to take advantage of the emerging power vacuum. However, Uzbek nationals have been engaged in various jihadist theaters such as Afghanistan, Pakistan and more recently Syria, in the wake of the Islamic State’s rise.

This guy was amazing. He boiled opponents. Not to kill them -- anyone crazed dictator could do that -- but just to fuck them up really really bad.

Also he had a daughter that he turned into a pop star but who disappeared and has been insinuating she's being held captive somewhere.

Do they still have a fundie insurgency in the Fergana Valley? I haven't really been paying attention in the last few years.

There is still about a million ethnic Russians living in Uzbekistan if you know what I mean.

was this the total nutjob one or is that some other central asian dictator

Your entire air force (all 16 functioning planes) are tied-up in Syria, dropping gas on schools.

too fat, 0/10

Hur, dur, fat joke. I'm a manlet Saami, you stupid fuck.

Are you thinking of Saparmurat Niyazov of Turkmenistan?

We dindu nuffin, Little polite green men did it =DDDDDDDD

Im going tomorrow to Kyrgyzstan

Will I expirience a CheekieBreeki?
I got a Gopro

It's not like your joke about the Russian air force was top notch, considering they regularly test NATO airspace.

And the terrorists your government supports are the ones using chlorine gas in Syria, you ignorant twit.

No but maybe a fickificki

by the way Uzbek territories were part of the Russian empire since 1876

RIGHTFUL RUSSIAN CLAY

Why would you EVER go to that part of the world?

litterally who gives a fuck about uzbekistan.

Thanks, RT.

REV UP THE ARMATA
TIME FOR SOVIET REUNION

probably works at one of the "freedom blabla funds for peace", kek

can't think of any other reason

Kyrgyzstan has the largest natural walnut forest in the world.

Why wouldn't you go?

Take it back Russia. Make the USSR Great Again!

>walnut forests
>implying cashews aren't god tier

Oy vey, This guy has some plans for Uzbekistan.
Uzbek naroda respubliki here we go!!!

Will Blyat Cyka re-annex Uzbekistan?

Can you imagine the shitstorm in when Putin dies?
Would Natalya become the Iron Maiden Russia needs?

Too much bad cholesterol. I love cashews but no to the point I want to have stroke when I'm curling 35 kilos.

It's actually an important region - americans had their airbase there until 2005 when Pootin kicked them out. They have been trying to return ever since. With Karimov dead, there is a new 4d chess between Russian and USA sure to follow in the coming months.

My guess would be that it depends on Karimov's successor or if Islamists start separatist movements in the frontier with Afghanistan.

also:

Uzbekistan has the fourth largest gold deposits in the world. The country mines 80 tons of gold annually, seventh in the world. Uzbekistan's copper deposits rank tenth in the world and its uranium deposits twelfth. The country's uranium production ranks seventh globally.[52][53][54] The Uzbek national gas company, Uzbekneftegas, ranks 11th in the world in natural gas production with an annual output of 60 to 70 billion cubic metres (2.1–2.5 trillion cubic feet). The country has significant untapped reserves of oil and gas: there are 194 deposits of hydrocarbons in Uzbekistan, including 98 condensate and natural gas deposits and 96 gas condensate deposits.

Didn't he exile his daughter or something?

Wait, Karimov is dead? Does that means his milfy daughter will take the power?

You can make nice holiday at Yssykul lake, its cheap and you dont need visa as german.
Nature is awesome
Capital and around this lake arent as shithole like you would imagine. Plane Tickets are also cheap atm, payed 290€.

Sergei ivanov or Medvedev if Putin suddenly died i think.
Can't imagine anything else.
Well the timing couldn't be any better for Russia as the US will switch president in November.
A new president will have other issues to adress which will make space for Russian operations hehe.

Hmm really makes you think..

well shit ivan sell it to us, we will send refugees there and save europe

>named Islam
>anti-Muslim
wew

What about based Igor?

nah

Ivanov was recently downgraded to some ecology affairs ambassador, or something like that, basically given an honorary exhile from Kremlin

Medvedev has too many enemies

If Putin dies and there is a chaos, it will probably be the newly formed National Guard that will take control - they have everything at their disposal - tons of compromising materials on other elite, their own army, and they are considered to be faithful to the regime.

Army won't probably interfere.

SHART

holy shit why do you feel the need to shit post this much you obese couch general

Not impossible but unlikely in my book.
Always thought Ivanov were the right hand of Putin considering the fact that they both come from the KGB camp.
>If Putin dies and there is a chaos, it will probably be the newly formed National Guard that will take control.
Tell me more about these guys, I have not heard about them actually.

Why do you care? Are you Mikhail Yefimovich Fradkov?

Yet the average household income is 50 bucks. If you have brought some kazakh pocket change you are going to end up with a briefcase of their money after the exchange.

There is a new trend with Putin lately - he seems to have grown a whole new generation of faithful young officials and he is slowly replacing the old elite, governors and his friends with these new guys. Ivanov's resignation is in line with this trend.

National Guard is a structure that was formed this year - they took Interior safety forces, various Spetznas units, threw in police aviation, different police special units, migration police, drug police (which were all separate entities).

So, basically they created a second army with a head extremely loyal personally to Putin. Picrelated - their anti-mass protest vehicles already seen in action in Kavkaz.

The truck is called "The punisher", I'm not even kidding.

here they are removing some kebab in southern Russia

>So, basically they created a second army with a head extremely loyal personally to Putin.
So MVD 2.0 ?

just admit you don't know fucking shit about what you're "analyzing", and especially coming from an egotistic gmo burgers like yourself.

and yes I'm Fyodor Maximovich Novikov, I get to actually talk about this matter because my insight outweighs yours despite what your bathroom scale says

they took all the hardcore units out of MVD

MVD now basically patrols the streets and fines you for breaking traffic rules

MVD won't even issue driving licenses anymore, civil document centers will do it from 2017

I guess Putin sense that he is getting older day by day so he has to find his succesor for the day his inevitable demise comes.
>National Guard is a structure that was formed this year.
So basically he made an anti-coup police force which is called national guard?
When i think if National guard i think of a militarized force like our national guard pic related.
Given how the world is turning it is probably a must have for the current establishment in Russia.
Also the tell me more about this:
>their anti-mass protest vehicles already seen in action in Kavkaz.

STFU, Chang Wanquan.

Which brach my OMONfu ended up to?

Lel
>Bant Level: Schoolyard

>The hatch on top of the car
>FSB
So it is militarized police right?

National Guard as well, since April 5th 2016

SOBR is also there if you heard of them

Sorry for being autistic when it comes to history, but didn't the last time a leader in charge since the collapse of a political ideology go to shit the last time?

is this national guard a consolidation of all state security apparatuses?

basically they are militarized police with anti-terror, anti-illegal immigration, anti-drug trafficking and anti-coup functions

No, FSB and FSO still exist separately

So who is the director of this Guard?

Puchkov? Kolokoltsev? Patrushev?
