This is a blog written by a guy I know from Twitter. Joe Dolio (@DolioJ) is a retired Marine MP. Pretty interesting guy to talk to.
I also have a copy of his book, "Baseline Training Manual".
Joe's got a theory that society anywhere can collapse within 72 hours.
He's laying out the situation in Kazakhstan and what it means to us here.

The first lesson to learn is that this situation completely bears out my 72-hour theory. On the morning of the 3rd, Kazakhstan was a peaceful modern nation, with full utilities, internet, cell phone providers, the whole deal. By the end of the 6th, 72 hours later, the government had resigned, the internet was shut down, utilities were intermittent, law and order was non-existent, large parts of every major city were burning, there was open warfare, and soldiers were pouring into the country from Russia, Armenia, and Belarus.
