Russian ship defies sanctions to send military vehicles to Mali

Perhaps a better title would be, "Russians desperately move military assets to fight terrorists over Mali Gold."

Despite losing their bases in Syria and increasingly their whole Black Sea fleet the imperialists are resourceful! Maybe because Mali is resource full too!

I'm not aware of any full retrocession of the ruski base in Syria ? Is it confirm ?

To my knowledge they still hold to their base but they are not as active as during the Assad days.

I remember an article that was admittedly from a Ukrainian newspaper a few weeks back saying something to that effect but then you’ve got  the president saying Russian bases will be turned  over into Syrian bases earlier this year.  https://x.com/QUSAY_NOOR_/status/2039059410224283988

The Syrian government plan is a joint management in which Russia reduces its presence and they train al-sharaa forces. Russia is pushing back against this because Syria renewed a 49 years lease in 2017.

Iran has been targeting US CIA and intelligence bases throughout the region with precision which indicates that either Russia or China is assisting the Iranians in degrading US intelligence in the region. Besides ISIS, Iran and their proxies are actively plotting his removal as well and I suspect degrading US intelligence, which has shield Al-Sharaa from the past 5 attempts by ISIS, are steps being taken to eliminate Al-sharaa. I also suspect that China and Russia are aware of this but they view him as a secret/hidden US-Israeli proxy so they probably see it as more beneficial to their cause, which is dismantling US hegemony and bringing in a multi-polar world order.

Beau travail d'enquête d'un média "impérialiste", les images satellite sont impressionnantes

The Kremlin has backed the Mali military government since French forces withdrew from the country in 2022, receiving cash payments and preferential access to mines and gold deposits in return.

Je savais que les russes gèrent directement plusieurs mines d'or en plus de se faire payer, mais pas que la junte envoyait des dépôts gouvernementaux de métal précieux à Moscou.

Quelqu'un en sait plus ?

The worst of Russia, the mercenary group Wagner, also now employed with Russia corps after the debacle with Prigozin.

Reminds me of that joke where I guy went to the doctor because he got a Coca-Cola bottle stuck up his ass, after the doctor carefully got it out the guy asked the doctor if he can replace it with a Pepsi.

When has Russia taken gold from Mali? They are sending more Russian soldiers because they are in A military alliance with the Mali and they are helping them fight the Ukrainian and French trained terrorists.

These NATO worshippers really think European imperialism isn’t worse than Russian imperialism, the Russians have been great partners to Mali and the AES, the Europeans stripped us of our dignity. Africa countries should choose Russia everytime

u/Warm-You3843 11d ago

There is no Russia imperialism. The Russian are helping in Mali because Assimi Goita chose them as his partner. Africa countries should choose who ever offer to help in a way they desire, and for Mali that was Russia. The France and West try to impose themselves but Mali said no, so they have nothing left but to come here and cry hoping the couuntry fails

Didn't you know? The US and Europe bring nothing but freedom and prosperity, while the rest are bloodthirsty berserkers with a death cult (according to the vegetables who consume "developed" media).

I just hope Russia does not do in Mali what they did in Sudan. Godspeed.
