[000:00:00;00] this year, that is, before the 1950s, for the help of the soviet union. it was quite specific. finances did not always come first. weapons and education and training of leaders of future insurgent movements came later. the states were on the fence, the soviet union was actively involved in various different data about e-e aid and the right a-a of doctors, teachers, that is, all those who influence a are such representatives of soft power and those who can influence people's moods in various tribes in different clans in different ethnic groups. and this is how the soviet union tried to influence the situation, well, russia

, during the time, and of course there were loans, yes, loans of the soviet union for various infrastructure projects, well, the biggest project, as we know , was the construction of the ashan dams a-a, but in egypt. those were large infrastructure projects in russia, there is no such intention . yes, to do such things. and in general, since 1991, in the middle of the 2000s, there was no such thing in russia. on the american continent, but with the transition to putin's power russian diplomacy is starting again, opening up this continent for itself. russia even chose the slogan that and for africa , only african solutions would be the keys , stressing that its aid will not be tied to any democratic external obligations.

it will be exclusively at the level of the elites, we have somehow interrupted the connection of mr. petrova, now we will get you through and continue this conversation because it is really very relevant, we had a week when we talked about the military parade in nigeria about how will this affect the stability not only in africa, but also in the sakhalin regions ? and when we talk about the sakhalin, it must be understood that it is a semi-desert desert that is simply divided in half, and the one who has control over this region, by and large , has control over the communications itself of the african continent and only we managed to analyze this situation, how it can change over time and how it can bring additional points to the russian federation and thus make it an absolutely

equal competitor of those countries that in reality, in the u.s., they spend a lot of money on african countries such as china or france , the united states, there was a coup d'état boni, it continues . petrenko, i will say that russia is somewhere in the 2000s, they say that african solutions are needed for africa, which means that decisions will be made by the top, i.e., the leadership of these african countries , which will be actively influenced by russia, which unfortunately we do not have, this is normal, we have a normal connection . unfortunately, we can try again. well, i will continue my opinion that this coup in

gabon is completely unexpected for many observers, because this country has practically never had a successful military coup. imagine that we are looking at africa, and africa is a continent of successful military coups. there were dozens of them in the 60s and 70s, 80s and 90s. years there was an eternal problem with these coups in order to somehow change the government, which tried to create demonstrative democratic institutions with the help of the military, and we know the classic military regimes in africa, right here, mr. peter let's try again, what should i continue from first, because you didn't hear practically. well, there was no begging. on the american continent from the 91st

, somewhere in the middle of the 2000s, there were objective circumstances for this, but from the mid-2000s, putin discovers africa for itself and at first they begin to act through uh, well, key countries, that is, they try to establish relations , for example, with the republic of south africa . and in 2009, uh , president zuma comes to power there, and he was a former rebel and studied in to the soviet union by the way on the territory of ukraine in the crimea, and he was, unfortunately, we have no connection . unfortunately, well, i will continue what i was saying to somehow clarify the situation, and at the same time, this coup d'état took place. why is this of great

importance, because in reality on the african continent there are so many countries that today would be oriented towards the west, and this is what mr. petro burkovsky was saying. unfortunately, the connection prevented us from talking to him properly. many leaders of the west and african countries to find their independent place in the world and no longer focus on the western countries that were their metropolises in the collegiate times, but the question arises, what were the western countries focused on, in principle, when they established such close ties with the states that supported their political economic

interests on the continent or always it was the idea of ​​democratization that nato countries and the countries of the european union tell us that you need to democratize to become part of civilized education in africa was not always moreover, such an approach was more like measures to support the stability of regimes that could hardly be called democratic, but which were somehow ready for dialogue with the former metropolis of gabon - this is a great example . that is why there has never been a successful military coup in gabon in history, because when there were such attempts, the french troops did everything possible so that the local military could not change the effective civilian power as a result of uh

, gabon had only three presidents in all the decades of its history. now the fourth one before that it must be remembered that when france held a referendum in its former colonies regarding the declaration of their independence, among those territories, the vast majority of its inhabitants wanted to remain together with france together with france in the form of not a sovereign state but its overseas department, and this was opposed by e- the then president of france , general charles de gaulle, who believed that just a few million more, to put it mildly, not very rich people, gabon is an economically successful country but with a big social failure they can undermine the stability of the french republic itself, which at that time suffered very hard from the consequences of the algerian war as a result, or did not get independence because i don't want it, in the same

way that some former soviet republics got independence in 1991. kazakhstan had a very cautious attitude towards this and kazakhstan became the last soviet republic to declare independence, here is a simple example in africa , it was also the result when jamon declared its independence and its first leader, leonba, was a french politician because he wanted to head the state and the department and established the most serious ties with paris, and these are economic ties, because there were no minerals in oboyna, political ties ties and military ties, when the gabonese military wanted to establish their own government and prevent leonob from ruling the country, the coup was practically destroyed by the efforts of the french army, which

became a serious lesson for the entire gabonese political elite and as a result when lion-ba was already in a difficult condition, to put it mildly, he, before his death, appointed a new vice-president of the country. literally a few days before his death, who became the president and this is the father of the now deposed president, bongo, from that time after the first president of gabon came to power one family that ruled the country for many decades held conditional elections similar to those in russia, it was absolutely obvious that president bongo cannot rule the country i mean the current president bongo after what kind of stroke did he have, and you may have seen a video after the coup in which he

addressed a not very good situation. pass, it is obvious that in this situation, when such a family rule is established, it is difficult to call it democratic. but at the same time, there is another very important point that these countries that maintained friendly relations with gabon are france, which continued to play a significant economic role there, and morocco is overthrown the president of gabon, mr. ali bongo, he was a childhood friend of the current american king muhammad v , they were certainly ready to tolerate the falsification of the presidential elections only so that there would be conditionally stability in the country. and in principle, it was believed that during those elections that

took place literally on the eve of the military coup, president bonga and his competitor alberton deosa won, that is , almost the same thing happened in ukraine in 2004, when everyone perfectly understood that viktor yanukovych did not win the election president of the country, but the central election commission announced him as the winner just in gabon after these events took place when the central election commission announced albert bongo as the winner of the presidential election, the military came to the television studio, captured and dissolved the authorities, they announced that they are canceling the results of the presidential election. although, by the way , the gabonese position convinces the military that they should do everything possible to restore the legitimacy of democracy and better

recount the election results than we don't announce them, but the military doesn't do it, and here comes such a simple question: why don't they do it, and the opposition leader himself? he says, in fact, it's not a military coup against the president , actually, it's a family struggle around the head of state, because actually already the incompetent abonian president, he actually already handed over power to his son valentin, and this bonga valentin was considered the real heir of his father and the future president of ukraine, he formed a new administration that essentially ruled gabon the last two years on behalf of the incompetent head of state, but the president's sister pascaline bonga didn't like it and she is called

her father 's favorite daughter. er, such a real claim to power, and therefore pascaline was always held in the esteem of her father, then in the esteem of her brother, along with this, exercising very serious powers in family schedules , when it became clear that her brother also announced his her son as the future heir, if now this son will form the entire infrastructure of power, she did not like it, and she, with the help of a loyal family of soldiers, led by the newly declared president of gabon , clothier alighi hema, used them to overthrow her brother and arrest her at the same time of my nephew beautiful medieval history where are we at all i am telling you some shakespearean drama truth brother sister nephew prisons some favorite general favorite sisters in charge

of the state, you can write a novel about love and a novel about the day of a brother and sister and a novel about the relationship between a nephew and an aunt, why does this have to happen in political programs at all, but why? to weaken every day even in those countries that seemed absolutely stable because believe me that a country in which there has never been a successful military coup was a priori considered stable on a continent where those military coups are the essence for uh the development of the political and economic situation and everyone is talking about the fact that during the presidency of maneel macron, which i am not at all surprised by. to be honest, taking into account how macron treats foreign policy, this is the time of the collapse of french positions in africa. and now the question is who will fill this niche, because we we understand that

there cannot be any political figure in it at all, there cannot be a void in politics, we will not miss it , it is largely filled by two countries: the people's republic of china, which is filled with money, and russia, which is filled with saboteurs of course now to say that the gabonese military will start some negotiations with wagner, as the military in nigeria did, it is not possible for this simple reason that the military of nigeria needs not just the support of the so-called private military company of wagner, which is gradually turning into the structure of the main intelligence department of the armed forces of the russian federation not only in order to resist the possible interventions of the neighbors in niger with the aim of restoring civil

power, but also in order to fight against radical islamists, who are a powerful political force in the sahel region, control half of the territory of burkina faso, control large parts of the territory in mali, and in principle, the army of niger, before this military gathering, was probably the most reliable structure that controlled the fight against these islamists it is not clear how it will be now, because it is clear to what extent it will receive military equipment from the west in the situation that developed after the military putsch. well , in the end, if there is an opportunity now for some kind of understanding with the gabonese military, if they really create some kind of transitional regime that will lead to more or less legitimate elections and the election of a civilian head of state, the situation may not change much. warm relations with paris, with whom there was a bonga family that kept everything you want, money, had no

real estate, resorts, everything in the world, it was just another french elite family , there can be no more like this, but if paris is not will be able to restore such relations, it will of course leave moscow, it will take advantage of this situation in a completely different region of africa, where the positions of the west were always considered strong and serious , the situation that once existed in soviet times, when moscow tried to swallow one african country for another, ethiopia, somalia, angola, mozambique , cape verde, will be restored benin e.e. burkina faso after the revolution of thomas sankara, this list can be continued ad infinitum zimbabwe mibi

and also the support of the african national congress in south africa, it is a more important period of the war for the party, and this, by the way, was also very important, because moscow and beijing tried to play the role of this south africa by helping this movement . so this is a threat. putin knows it, and it will be very necessary follow this carefully to understand what is happening on the african continent and to what extent it can become such a limiter of the sino-russian rivalry . and now we will talk with you about other continents. of the states, i congratulate you, i fall, yuri, hello, hello, thank you in advance or for the greetings of your people. glory to ukraine. glory to the heroes. well, let's look at the situation that is now, uh, in

american political life. in the prison , what is going on in this whole thing ? to observe that his support is growing, that you haven't changed anything, that only his support is increasing among republicans , that the distance has already swelled, that the other candidates are unclear, what to do next , because trump is only gaining strength, it seems to me that there is an even bigger one, namely the national uh, what kind of components that our beloved leader was attacked, which means that he must be protected, he was as if he said that he would be attacked, that he was pouring grass , they are attacking hard, and in this sense, uh, they will hold on to the last, and we even see that democrats start like everything, of course, because baidun doesn’t react now to trump, he does what obama did

in the 12th year. let him be there, what are you going to shout about? candidate than donald trump, and therefore it is not clear that it may be necessary to react to it, because on the one hand, this is the prosecutor’s office, this is not politics. coat it will be necessary to say something about it and one will start reacting eh and they now it will last as long as they can hope for the next spring will last until it is not necessary they hope that trump himself persuades himself, too, cancels some interviews because he realizes that he is creating just more uh-ultic for the prosecutor's office, that's why trump's situation is so interesting, you never had us, you, i can't imagine all this maybe someone wrote a novel, but so far i haven't seen the truth of a person who may

turn out to be a criminal and, after being in prison , was elected president of the united states of america . the following question arises then: and how should this confrontation look in general? whom can you choose in the end? can you imagine who the americans will prefer ? that it is not clear exactly what the outcome of these elections will be, but since the election will not be today, the elections will be even more than a year ago, and in the end, americans , like all normal people, are naked voters who vote and decide. in the last week, two -eh 10 something happened that changed their opinion and that until then we will just go, as it were, in the direction in which it has already been set and what it will lead to eh in general it is difficult to predict here and tell me that's why we talked

when что украинская тема hardly appears important for this election campaign but a lot has already been done declared by the republican candidates, and there are enough of these ukrainian ones, this is harshly anti-ukrainian, this is that the competition with which countries was the competition from the point of view of all these declared, or are they in fact, are you sure that they are able to come to an agreement with moscow, of course, the reaction to trump. because if trump did not so actively support everything that putin is doing, then the support of ukraine , sergey shurikantsev, would be much greater. we now see that 50% or even more trumpism of the republican party, which supports trump, which does not support ukraine, after that, there are 30% of republicans who compete with trump because they are the most trumped, but they are without a court, it’s paratroopers with you, and such radical positions on ukraine are signals of trump’s voter that

we with you and there are only two or three candidates left who support ukraine in the resurlykan party, saying that they don’t care about the weather, so trump’s voters are behind him or they are young trump's voters, where are 85% of these candidates now, don't support continued increased assistance to ukraine depending on the candidate, and in principle, this is the question of our reduction, and how correct it is, it's terrible because ukraine should not be a topic in our elections and ukraine is national security, this is basically foreign policy that is of little interest in the end. politics and a political agenda, plus, who is trying to use this as a way to tie hunter biden, but alas, people sometimes have children, sometimes unsuccessfully, sometimes very unsuccessfully, and they try to tie all the failures

of hunter biden, er, to joe biden, so far, they have no evidence linking the son and the father and all that they were able to dig up on outside is what his son did , so the situation is predictable and sad, but he was hoping that everything would be good and healthy for joubain, because if he wins the election, then after that, i just we wish you many long years, but on the contrary, i know that we will have four years. what kind of horizon policy will be headed by either job biden or camel harris, but it will not be may, one of these strange people on the stage who, as it were, will play in front of by the fascists themselves, if they are the names of our electors, materially speaking , you are confident that biden will be nominated for the post of president.

health and happiness were necessary in this race, that is, there are a lot of applicants. of course, there is kamba chariz, who is automatically engaged in the presidency and probably automatically announces that he will be overworked. but there is also the governor of california. i want people to be misled to look at the old biden, the old trump and say that there is no one else in america . of course there is, but our systems are playing political cards. raised the republican party under himself, and biden decided that he has the best chance to stop trump, what he did in the last election, and expects to do the same thing in the next election . interesting questions because at the beginning they said that any republican except trump

can win, so you need to get rid of the program but the more republican candidates associate themselves with trump and with a conservative policy, the more chances are there not only to win over anyone, but also in principle, because the agenda of the republicans is not the one that coincides with the interests of the people, when they talk about women's rights, i don't care, the americans don't support it, when they talk about weapons, the americans don't support it because everyone wants some kind of reasonable not restrictions, but rules, uh. and that's why, even in ukraine , the americans support ukraine. and that's why , when american politicians try to flirt with the flag electorate, they they distance themselves more and more from the american mainstream, which continues to see ukraine as a victim, continues to see russia as an aggressor, president zelensky is going to visit the united states at the end of september , he will be

the un general assembly at the end of september. zelensky has not yet succeeded in seven days of ukrainian relations. i think that we will not succeed this time because i am optimistic that the united states sees the deep strategic importance of ukraine and will continue to help ukraine practically in independence from what ukrainian politicians are doing, and now it should be included in this book that is already being discussed about the fact that ethylensky managed to anger baidana grandpa baydan managed to get angry because he somehow looked at him and said, "but he's a motherfucker, he's not a professional, he's an amateur, he somehow didn't see in him a politician who would know, well, god be with him, well , except for that, eh, eh, in the book" already written

which should come out soon, it is written that zelensky demanded at the same time that ukraine join nato and declared that it was necessary to criticize it because it is an old organization and how to tell the truth of the other one, but it is confusing to combine it in one thing in one conversation i will take the president who is criticizing you anyway and you are not backing down, but as we see the relationship between ukraine and the united states is much more important than the relationship between two politicians. when we learn from the same source who says according to this new book that zelensky turns out to be a disgruntled person who left because of what happened to trump and the first impeachment of trump. it seems to me that biden should somehow show that he has forgiven zelensky, or considering how zelensky behaved. so you understand this or different assessments may be present here, but the relationship with russia and the protection of ukraine is much more important, so we

will be happy for president zelenskiy. i don't know, they will become allies, uh, you know, there is a wonderful idea about how to continue to develop support for ukraine, because people are getting tired, the americans are actually tired and would like ukraine already. they say, putin has enough of all these nuclear threats. we don't believe it anymore. let's just go in and finish it. and that's how the patience of the americans also comes to an end . let's stand up and the situation continues to develop. so that presidents, well, i wish the president to help the president, in fact, he is going for a specific eh, not just like that, he is going because i am making a choice, that now decisions will be made about the next big aid package for ukraine, eh, 24 billion
