A military junta has overthrown the "democratically elected" family that has ruled Gabon for 55 years under the protection of France, in return for giving France 80% of its resources.

This is devastating news for freedom and democracy. France will now lose theworld's largest manganese mine ability to fight terrorists in Gabon; this coming shortly after France lost the gold and diamond mines in Niger ability to fight terrorists in Niger.

The official state news channel of America's Democratic Party, CNN, lambasted Brexit again yesterday:

Surely the military junta will behave much more compassionately towards the people than the current regime.

The official stage news channel of the democratic party is MSNBC. CNN is milquetoast centrism.

Back in February Joe Scarborough was hauled in for some political re-education for daring to question Jake Sullivan's retarded narrative that Putin wants to conquer Europe. Such chastisements never happen on CNN.
I take your point though. Probably more accurate to call CNN the Shopping Network of the MIC. They're the ones who have all the "retired 4-star generals" lobbying to have NATO dump all it's decommissioned old shit in Ukraine to make way for more juicy Raytheon contracts.

Having local corrupt elites steal money and then spend it locally will be better than just directly exporting the money to French elites who will be spending that money in France.

Yeah I wouldn't be so sure about that. They will continue to spend money overseas, it just might be going to some new countries.

Sure, they'll buy expensive imports and go on expensive vacations.
They're still more likely to spend money locally investing in their homes, how many French oligarchs have even stepped foot into Gabon?

He funneled the wealth back to the French.
The new government will be giving that wealth to Gabonese instead.
