Why Biden Should Keep an eye on Kazakhstan
Kazakhstan can be a key player in the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Thus, Kazakhstan is now considered a strategically important US state. Although peace has been restored to the country, Kassym Jomart Tokayev, the Kazakh president has made major changes to the power structures of governing elites, raising doubts and concerns. Tokayev is now the chairman of the National Security Council. He replaces President Nursultan Azzarbayev, whose power in the economic arena has caused anger among protesters.

Three of the sons-in law of the former president have been removed from their state firms, while his nephew also was fired, and Karim Masimov who was the former chief of intelligence, was taken into custody for treason. Many other Nazarbayev-affiliated top officials and business elite have lost their jobs, left overseas for extended vacations, or were forced to make large "donations" to the state.

Tokayev has established business relations with the countries of his neighbors and also the West. He has stayed clear of provoking Putin to keep his popularity.

As conflict rages in Ukraine, Washington should carefully monitor developments in Kazakhstan as they could indicate a myriad of possible scenarios of power transitions, both good and bad.
