Interview between a journalist and
President Ibrahim Traoré

Here is the transcribed text:


Interviewer
"We all see all of this with all the logistics you are talking about, with the Russians being brought in to inform, as you mentioned, your troops. That's a lot of money. Can the economy hold up for a long time with that?

Ibrahim Traoré
Very good question. That's a lot of money. That's why I say our countries are not poor. That has been past fake news, from governance, there been theft, the plundering of our resources. That's it. That's what it's about.

"I'll give you an example. Today, there is a patriotic support fund. The population contributes, and we mainly support the volunteers for the defense of the homeland with that. But what about the rest of the army that we are equipping? All these resources that we are acquiring. That's it. That's governance. Like finances, there are resources. We have potential, but if it's fully managed...now

"If you take the oil sector, you know that the state subsidized oil, oil petroleum products, the fuel. So that the world didn't have it cheaper in 2022, for example, the sovereigns were around four hundred, almost five hundred billion. Come five something. The state is making five hundred billion from the lighthouses in 2023.


Interviewer
We're at less than a hundred billion in subsidies, which means you've saved four hundred billion. How do you explain that?


Ibrahim Traoré
"When someone is running for elections, especially in Africa, here it's like a business. It's the norm here. They distribute tickets so that we vote for them. It's an investment, and as soon as he arrives, I'm office he has to pay to reimburse. That's not the case. Without centavo, everything is focused on war. It's the economy and the equipment.


Interviewer
"The Russians arrived in Burkina. When is the last time that instructors came?

Ibrahim Traoré
Because they have to come to train the military on equipment. And it's with all the countries. It's not just Russians. When you sign a contract to acquire equipment, you sign the contract with the training.

"There are plenty of Turkish military here.
Why don't they talk about it?

Interview
But are they on the ground or not?
The Russians are on the ground to fight?

Ibrahim Traoré
No. There are no Russians on the ground to fight. These are things that are developed. It's in people's minds, but if there's a need, they will come to the ground to fight. I can assure you that if there's a need, you don't forbid it.

"No, they're not on the ground. No, for now, we fight alone.

Interview
What are you giving the Russians, very specifically, for them to be there? Are they taking minerals? How do you pay them? Are you selling off a portion of the territory? What's the deal?
"We know that there is no friendship between states. It's always about interests. Everyone comes for their own interests. So today, there's a fear among a number of people that we've just swapped one master for another. Well, I know you are a little bit to know that you're not about replacing one master with another.


Ibrahim Traoré
"If that was a deal to really swap one master for another, we'd rather die. Because when we say the homeland or death,
it makes perfect sense. No, it's just the media, a lie again. And unfortunately, we even saw heads of state who fell for it, who went on to tell the lie, so-called, that we gave mines to the Russians, to our southern party. That's completely false.

"Nothing has been given to the Russians. Quickly, even at a mine, why give anything? If the Russians want a mine, we have the mining code. They come to integrate into it. We give them the permit. They pay the taxes. They do everything they need to do, just like everyone else.


Interview
"But what are you paying with Russians?

Ibrahim Traoré
They're not coming for your measures for governance. We manage to acquire the equipment. It's not for our pretty eyes, as you say, that we're giving things. We pay. And with Russia, there's no equipment that we want to pay for with them, that They don't sell to us but others, like the West are putting restrictions on us.

"They tell you, you can't buy this type of weapon. Of course, sometimes the Russians tell you everything you want, everything you want, until the moment I'm talking to you. We're blocked by the Russians from getting first class airplane jet licenses. There are types of weapons they will never sell, at this time

"They're many countries, the Russians, the Chinese, the Turks, the Koreans, and so on. That do like that

But with Iran There are no restrictions with Iran. Everything we want,
they will sell to us. Let's clarify, if we can pay, we pay.

But with these other states that were supposedly friends, there are restrictions, and some have even come to tell us that they can't sell us everything.

⚡European officials are debating whether Russian pipeline gas sales to the EU should be restarted as part of a potential settlement to end the war against Ukraine, according to people familiar with discussions.

Advocates of buying Russian gas argue it would bring down high energy prices in Europe, encourage Moscow to the negotiating table, and give both sides a reason to implement and maintain a ceasefire.

But raising the idea of reopening flows of Russian gas into Europe, even in preliminary discussions, has already sparked a backlash among Ukraine’s closest allies in the EU.

Three of the officials briefed on the talks said the idea had been endorsed by some German and Hungarian officials, with support from other capitals that saw it as a way to reduce European energy costs. 

“There is pressure from some big member states on energy prices and this is one way to bring those down, of course,” said one official.

There is no substitute for cheap, and when you're big, you're big.

The accident was terrible. What went wrong?

I'm confused.

I don't understand how a jetliner and a slow-moving helicopter could crash mid-air, especially during a clear nighttime. It's puzzling.

There is a reason the US realigned foreign policy tagged China as its major threat.

⚡Russia is about to enter mass production of a new Iskander ballistic missile, with twice the range of the original, now up to 1000 km.

Whenever Ukraine hears the name Iskander, they shiver, and Zele takes more rapid sniffs on his coke supply.

⚡Putin on the relationship between Europe and Trump:

"There is some kind of fuss going on now between the European political elites and the newly elected US President Trump. Has anything changed since Biden's time? Nothing has changed! They happily carried out any order from Washington under Biden. They just don't like Trump. They actively fought him, interfered in political life, in the US election process.

Then they were confused when Trump suddenly won. They liked Biden more, you know? His approach. And Trump has different ideas about what is "good" and what is "bad". Including in gender policy, in some other issues. They kind of don't like it.

But I assure you: Trump, with his character, with his persistence, will restore order there quite quickly, and all of them, you will see, it will happen quickly, soon they will stand at the feet of the owner, and will be sweetly wagging their tails."

This man na REAL KGB agent. EU leaders go be like "are we going to wag our tails before Trump"?
No.. Let's prove Putin wrong. Let's confront Trump.

One of those European country sent representative to campaign for the Democratic Party. That's political interference.
Elon Musk will give them a run for their money

WHAT?!! 😂 🤣 😭

So who is going to defend the native Americans from the US govt? Russia and China can now start bombing US for their atrocities against them.

" Christians in Yugoslavia"

What a way to sugercoat the atrocities committed by Serbs.

Try and shed your propagandism for a second and see the truth:

The ethnic Bosnians, Croats and Albanians who were being massacred by the Serbs during the Yugoslavia war of the 90s. They would beg to differ with Tucker Carlson.

NATO reacted and prevented another Hitler Holocaust type of shit from happening again. That's defensive, defending against crimes against humanity.
