  Kazakhstan is not going to unite with Russia on its own. Russia pays them to use Russian (Soviet) Baikonur. They get more profit from being independent, and they don;t want to be under Russ' again.   -Who said anything about unite-ing on its own? I said Kazakhstan as a big Russian population inside of it. They could start organising a party or talk about oppression and boom Munich all over again.    -Ya I know they pay something like 200 Million a year just to use Baikonur.    -and let me use my first Russian words---bei zhidov, spasai Rossiyu---:clink   (can anybody tell me if that is right)
