Gabon: How a Tiny African Nation Runs Russia’s Shadow Fleet

Everybody got puppets and playing The Game the same way. What a Soap Opera

Sanctions on a country have never succeeded in ending a military conflict

I am a great fan. but talking about Gabon, take a closer look at Angola, There are at least 3 oil tankers that are named after the corrupt princess and technically have never been used, only anchor since the war, check it out and see if Chad is the only satellite, Up to you, but very real and true.

A brit ranting about puppet states....
Oh the irony

nice try
bald 4 eyes american propagandist

The Russian economy thanks to Biden is doing better than the German economy. Yeah all sanctions did was re-enforce a system that makes Iran and Russia rich. No wonder BRICS is becoming more powerful than NATO. Go count the countries in NATO and then in BRICS.

The first 8 seconds was the hardest sentence of warographics history

US.come to mother Russia
you little spoiled teenager

Do not understimate power of slaves. They can resort to slavery to ruin others.
Which is aldo why people continue to become so.

And also remember, slaves or any kind of lickers are usually back stabbers too. The deepest lickers are usually the biggest back stabbers.


This is also why i am against inter mixing of different types of people

How times have changed from making videos on how Ukraine will retake Crimea eh 😂

A country "chooses" Russia: another russian puppet
A country "chooses" America: what a great democratic freedom loving country we got here, right boys?

American "allies"
Russian puppet

Welcome to the wrong side of history, Gabon.

A Puppet is calling others countries puppets...... 🙂🙂

The derangement syndrome of this channel always brightens up my day. Thanks for the laughs.

Such a double standard. If the these little nations like Liberia or Panama are used by "the global west" to avoid the public (OUR public) asking questions, they are "valuable economic partners". If they (Gabon for example) work with Russia, China, or anyone else not aligned with the "global west", then they are "puppets" and the activities deemed shadowy.
Leaks? We are all still waiting for the evil swine responsible for the Deepwater Horizon disaster to go to prison for it.
War crimes, wars of aggression? Last time I checked, Dubya, Tony Blair, Netanyahu, and other war criminals of are all still walking free, with total impunity no matter how many innocent victims they rack up.
All the hypocritical pearl-clutchers of the "global west" need to finally admit that either there is ONE standard for all, or there is NO standard for anyone.

Very fallacious video. Last regime in Gabon was pro-US and the current regime has had military cooperation with the US. Saying Gabon is now suddenly a puppet of Russia simply because Gabon increased its flag use on international waters is lunacy.

Remeber everyone the Global South supports Russia.
Remember everyone the Global South supports Putin.
Remember everyone the Global South supports War crimes/War criminals.
Remember everyone the Global South supports countries that invade their neighbors.
Remember this when the Global South wants help.
And never forget !

Why not just call this channel "anti Russia " channel?

Creating an organisation capable of policing the oceans, and of securing the universal legitimacy of the international community may be a pipe-dream, however, this could be partially mitigated by creating and enforcing large jurisdictions subject to maritime law. This would mean that Russia's shadow vessels would either have to avoid these jurisdictions (Increasing their costs and wasting their time), or pass through them, giving this hypothetical organisation legal grounds to search them.

Shadowfleets huh...

"Russia loves a good coup".

Seems to me that a lot of this could have been avoided and stopped outright save for the lack of will to do so.

Ships sailing from both St Petersburg and the Black Sea have to sail right through EU and NATO waters so if both of these entities found the guts and the motivation to stop, search and ultimately seize all illegal ships passing through, that would put a swift end to the bulk of this activity.

But then, that would require a great deal of the two attributes the west has lacked since this affair began.... Guts and resolve.

Before you say that I want to say how many puppets or "alliances" USA got

Global maritime law enforcement sounds difficult to maintain. I can instead imagine the CIA enabling pirates to catch marked ships for far less money.

Anything is better than France influence

Love how Russia is turning the anti Russian sanctions of the west into anti western sanctions making European politician look like the clowns they are once again 😂

What joke of a show 🖕🏾 west

Was there any footage of Gabonese flagged ships or was it like 15 minutes of stock footage tankers

What has happened to this channel?

The Biden admin is the worst in generations

The US has allies and partners. The Russians have puppets. How does that work?

Russia's allies called a puppet and US allies called a allies ???

Misinformation at its highest nonsense. If you know you know.

Simon is a supporter of COLONIALISM, Russia is helping Gabon with kicking out France and Usa

A man with a baldhead wearing glasses is always a fool. Says this video.

The sanctions get ignored by the west without Gabon. Turkey buys a ton of Ural Oil and they sell it to other western countries.

497th

Another Simon Whistler channel?! How many more are there?

If its a African country its called puppet , if its European its called ally , racists as usual

Natural gas is a marketing scheme. It's actually Fossil gas.

A more interesting question would be why the EU and the USA don't step in and explain the facts of life to Gabon.

Excellent piece. Important, undercovered. Covert economic wars.

Cry more

boooooooohhh

Here we go again! Just in case you people have failed to grasp it, Gabon is a land inhabitated by Pygmees and Africans of Bantu culture that prohibits pocking one's nose into other people's internal abd family affairs. So, please kindly bear this in mind, leave Gabon alone and refrain from dragging Gabon, a peaceful and friendly land, into a brawl between slavic brethren. Gabon has irs own challenges to attend to and does not need to neither feed the conflict nor shoulder other countries 's burdens.

PRESIDENT "FRANÇOIS MITTERRAND" : FRANCE without GABON is just like a Car without an Engine..😊
-That's how tiny that Country is.
