There is a world of difference between us creating a base and Russians creating a base.

Seychelles' economy relies on tourism from countries that are a part of NATO or in the western strategic zone. France is the largest tourism inflow market for Seychelles followed by Germany, UK and only then Russia.
If we ask for a listening post, they won't mind and neither would US because we are not a threat to them.

However Russia asking is a different ballgame altogether. They are a superpower and the second strongest military force on the planet. The entire game changes if they get their base over in Seychelles.

The little island nation will be sucked into an ugly game which it is not designed to play.
