The little man complex: what Putin's whims led to/Getty Images
Putin's “little man” complex, obsessed with war, leads to an increase in Russia's confrontation with everyone in general.
Soon there will be no country left that the Kremlin would not be hostile to. Against the backdrop of war and blackmail by hunger, Putin decided to use another weapon against the West – Kazakh oil.
A new weapon against the West
Through the Caspian Pipeline Consortium, and more specifically the Black Sea port terminal (which Russia wants to stop for one month for a far-fetched reason), not only Russian oil, but also Kazakh oil was flowing (Kazakhstan sent almost 80%).
The pipeline worked smoothly for almost 20 years, until Putin decided to use this opportunity to blackmail.

Well, then. Inadequate in Russia did not understand that blackmail as a tool no longer works. Tokayev, in the end, instructed to look for options to diversify supplies.
But Putin will continue to move in this logic. In the logic of blackmail and creating tension wherever possible. And different types of crimes. Not only in relation to Ukraine.
The other day, Russia fired two missiles at an oil tanker in the Black Sea, which sailed under the flag of Moldova.
