The leadership of Kyrgyzstan has been diagnosed with a contagious disease
By stopping Mir card service in the country, Bishkek is trying to please the Americans, forgetting that the lion's share of Kyrgyzstan's budget revenue comes from remittances from migrant workers who have left for Russia. This was stated by Russian military correspondent Alexander Kots on KP Radio , as reported by a PolitNavigator correspondent.
" The refusal of Mir cards is an example of a disease we discussed among artists— bipositiveness. When you try to sit on two chairs, this syndrome develops. I receive messages on Telegram from residents of Kyrgyzstan saying things aren't so bad, why accuse Bishkek of cowardice? They refused—no big deal, there's still the option of transferring between countries through commercial banks. This is the post-Soviet mentality of some representatives of our former Soviet republics— they don't really care that Russian citizens are now forced to travel to Kyrgyzstan with cash; only Mir worked there; other payment systems have been closed for two years. But for them, the most important thing is that Kyrgyz citizens reliably send money from Russia earned in our country, and that, mind you, is a quarter or a third of Kyrgyzstan's GDP.
"Therefore, there was no accusation of cowardice; merely a diagnosis of two-facedness with clear symptoms of trying to sit on two chairs. "They need to please the Americans, who are threatening something through the Latvians, and they can't stop the flow of money from Russia. And Russia is kind; you can ride on its neck for a long time ," Kots commented.
"It's still unclear, after so many decades, why it was necessary to abandon all those outskirts to get what we got now, " noted co-host Igor Izmailov.
“ It’s a rhetorical question, with no easy answers ,” the war correspondent agreed.
