I don't think Kazakhstan is currently on US radar. But for Russian's it's definitely attractive territory to steal. They're just waiting when country will be weakened like Ukraine to steal everything possible. Nothing basically changed after USSR: steal and conquer if not possible bring chaos and degradation. This can be clearly seen in: Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic, Abkhazia, etc.
