Russia is South Africa’s 49th largest export market, right after Madagascar. China is first, but less than a third the size of the US Germany, the UK and Japan….all of whom strongly favor sanctioning Russia.
Favoring Russia and it’s friends is a curious stance.
The fact is SA is not in any position to export arms to Russia. The story in USA BS again.
The SA stance is not surprising They have proof that the USA sabotaged negotiations that could have prevented the war and told Blinken to his face they do not support any war anywhere the solution being negotiations - which was not done in this case. She told Blinken that SA do not trust the bona fides of those people promoting the war and effectively sent him packing.
SA depends on Russia and China for essential imports - eg food, medicine and fertilizers. Those things are also imported by the USA and EU - so what must we do. Is it a case of cutting our nose to spite our face? We are already suffering since for instance the importation of fertilizers from Russia is in short supply and of all things potato output has been negatively affected and chips are vanishing from the shop shelves. Potatoes are part of the normal diets of people so prices are rising.
The reputation of the Governments of both SA and USA stinks to high heaven because of corruption. So crooks would normally stick together but that is not the case here - that is really what is really surprising.
And the Rand is tumbling...Fcn idiots running this country should all be sent Siberia.
SA athletes must be banned from international competitions.
based on what precedent?
No assegai?
Another USA diplomatic blunder - the US Ambassador to SA has been summoned by the Pandor to be given a lecture same as she gave to Blinken and the Ambassador apologized about the story.
Apology didn't help the Rand...it's still R 19.45 for 1 Dollar...it was lower 18s just prior.
Bwahahahahaha South Africa selling Arms to Russia. Too funny for words.
Russia has all the arms it needs. If there are any shortfall China can take up the slack. Russian arms factories are churning out ammo, tanks and missiles. They are well supplied.
I hope of course we will do all we can to help Russia win against the evil Globalist scumbags but sorry exporting anything meaningful regarding arms to Russia is hogwash.
Meanwhile of course it's just fine that the illigitimate Biden's Regime sends arms to the Ukrainians so they can fight their proxy war and what a terrible price they are paying.
One very big point must be made. A whole host of African leaders have recently given the US (Kamala Harris) and Macron etc an earful about their perverted LGBT nonsense and interfering in African affairs. It is very clear they no longer fear the US led West. The reason for this is the huge alliance forming against the West which tbe Bidrn Regime has intentionally fostered.
Good on the African leaders to send these decadents packing LMAO! Just love it. Outside of the Globalist riles West nobody like lgbt. Indeed inside the West the majority don't like it either. Hence the Globalist losing ground.
After so many Biden lies and Nordsteam 2 no sane person believes a thing the Biden Regime says.
The White House spokeslady has just told everyone the border is secure bwahahahaha. That it is open and the US is being invaded like never before appears to be of little concern to the Globalist Mozzzzquito.
Beeno shredding all the fake constructs of the Globalist disinformation system.
Trump would end the war in 24 hours. It's do easy to do. Just tell Ukraine no more aid it's time to negotiate. War stops immediately. But Joe and his oaks are making money hand over fist. To hell with what this does to Ukraine or Russia or the well being of the World.
Oaks what we are seeing is the intentional destruction of the West. Population Replacement is just a part of this.
When Xi visited the WEF Klaus Schwab praised him for doing such a great job with China. He expressed admiration for the CCP model of Governance.
Now who had built up China. Well we all know that it is the Globalist of the West who have got them into the WTO. It is the Globalists who shipped factories jobs and technology to China.
The plan is for Western hegemony to end and for a Chinese led alliance to take over. Then the CCP MODEL is to be APPLIED everywhere and finally a tyrannical world government put in place.
China Joe of course has sold out to China. They own this traitor. The Chinese have penetrated the universities, media, Hollywood etc and bought US politicians..
Can Americans take back their country and save themselves and the World.
Beansht4Brns, by 'we' you surely mean your bent Christian brigade ?
One question only, why o why, are you god-botherers such avid supporters of the Evil RatPutin ?
Blobbrain it's because we know where Biden and the Globalist want to take the world. We know from 2 sources Firstly from what the the WEF Globalists have said they want to do and what they have actually done.
Secondly we know what the Bible says. Go and read Revelations 13.
You have to totally ignorant not to know where they are trying to take the world.
Now we have WHO saying countries need to sign up for the plan whereby WHO can declare a Pandemic. Countries will then be obligated to follow tbe WHO protocols. These would include lockdowns, forced vaccinations and in fact amount to sovereign nation states being governed by WHO!.
Then pay attention to their desire to do away with cash. A HUGE issue. They want a world didgital currency which they control. Unless you abide by all they say they will cut you off from your bank account.
They want to chip every person on the planet. If you don't take this chip you cannot buy or sell. You are cancelled.
The CCP model is what the Globalists want.
In short they want a world depopulated down to 1 billion people. A world where the Globalist elites are in full control and served by a submissive slave class. They go as far as to say that most of this slave class must be Asian as they are most used to obeying orders.
Then of course they want to live forever and are hoping science and AI etc will achieve that.
Christians have a huge advantage as the Bible reveals how all this will pan out and how it ends. We win and I mean total absolute final victory. Satan will have his moment (42 months the Bible says) and then its over.
By the way oaks if you had invested in overseas shares, unit trusts you would be smiling right now.
I see the JSE jumped up on Friday as well.
Of course it could a change again on Monday. Very unstable tomes we live in.
based on what precedent?
The question is so out of nowhere it is hard to answer it.
Russia athletes are banned from international competiions ((War)
SA joined forces with Russia.
SA athletes are banned.
Straightforward.
Fkg evil bent Christians
BB
I will rather be a bend Christian than a Bend Communist/Fascist - the murderers of near to 150 million people over the last century. You are like the latter lot - whose aim is a globalist dictatorship promoted by the WEF on their website - the ordinary people being up for slaughter if they dare oppose the regime they are establishing.
Well said Mike. Blobbrain is an example of what happens to people subject to Globalist media propaganda.
Jacinda Arderne is a Young Globalist leader. So nz have had the Globalist propaganda rammed down their throats for years now.
Hopefully at some point Blobbrain will see the light.
I enjoy watching Russian tennis players. Some of the best in the world. Glad they and the Belarussians ike Sabalenka and Azarenka will be at Wimbledon this year.
And no I don't blame the Ukrainian tennis players for their evil fascist government riddled with NAZIS. I am pretty sure they are not to blame for the Genocide against the East Ukraine Russians. Doubt they agree with the shutting down of all opposition parties and the press by the dictator Zelensky. And also doubt if they agree with the Zelensky war on the Ukraine Orthodox Church.
Would Ukraine tennis players like the fact that Zelensky is a nasty little perv who enjoys shiny black tights and stilleto heels. ( Guess who loves Zelensky for this!} I doubt it.
I also don't think they appreciate Zelensky amassing a fortune via corrupt money laundering and handouts for being a WEFPUPPET.
I certainly would be surprised if Ukrainian tennis players support the Nazis in Zelenky's government or the Nazi Asov Battaluon etc.
No the people who support all this are nutters like the poor deceived Blobbrain and fellow traveller's. The dregs of the board. Hahahahaha. Man it's always so easy to completely destroy their nonsense.
n a video message on Friday, Yevgeny Prigozhin, whose Wagner group has spearheaded the months-long assault on Bakhmut, strongly criticised the military leadership for “abandoning” its positions near the city.
“There was no tactical retreat … What happened was the outright flight of units of the ministry of defence from the flanks,” Prigozhin said, in a characteristic video outburst directed at the country’s defence minister, Sergei Shoigu.
“Stop lying … our flanks are falling apart … this is all leading to a massive tragedy for Russia,” Prigozhin said.
He said Ukraine had retaken strategic highlands, potentially putting the Wagner group at risk of encirclement.
Ukrainian intelligence said on Friday that Prigozhin’s public bickering with the army leadership confirmed “their fear of responsibility for the inevitable geopolitical defeat of Moscow”.
Hahahahahahaha. Poor blobbie. The oak has lost his little mind. Wagner Group are quite happy.
They have all the ammo the need. Wagner will now be given a time of rest and recuperation from the frontline. They will join the fray again when the Russian offensive begins.
The destruction of Ukraine continues as their people are forced to fight this terrible proxy war finally instigated by Biden and his handlers but which has been in the making for years. Him
The Globalists in the White House have a lot to answer for. What will they say on the GREAT Judgement Day. You see oaks why it's absolutely necessary that there is a Judgement day. Nobody who does not accept the blood bought pardon offered by Jesus Christ will escape.
Beansht4brns, there's a special portal in Hell for you bent Christians. Sies-man.
Nope we are saved by the blood of tbe Lamb ad the forgiveness of our sins. We have been adopted into the family of God translated out of the kingdom of Darkness into the Ki gdom of His dear Son.
You on the other hand Blobbie will rise to the Judgement thro e of Christ on the Great Judgement Day. Unless things change you will have the pay the price for your sin and having rejected Christ as Savior you will not enter His Kingdom. You will be sent to Satan's kingdom. That is your future as matters sta d right now. You are a heartbeat away from HELL
NO bravado or mocking will change these facts.
Hmmm . . . so basically, all those disgusting paedophile christian priests will go to heaven because they've been adopted into the family of god but those of us who aren't paedophiles and live ordinary decent lives - but don't believe in god - we're all going to hell?
That is what you're saying, right Baboon-ou?
What is the difference between a Christian Fundamentalist and a religious Arab?
Not much...
I expect these religions will merge into one as the decline of religion continues.
Nope Rooitwit as I have said dozens of times they are wolves in sheep's clothing and have nothing to do with Christ.
The visible Church is not necessarily God's Church. No its is clear from God's Works, the Bible, that is ALWAYS the authority that perverts such as homsrxusks etc will not enter the kingdom of God.
As always you ignorant Mamparas make silly comments because you don't know the Bible or its Author.
Beeno at work correcting the hapless Mamparas. Never more absurd than when venturing into spiritual matters. Always re. Her God calls you fools. I can only agree with God.
Old crust it may interest you to know that a Workd "church" that is an abomination to God will arise. It's part of the deception that Satan has arranged for the World.
It will be a coming together of all religions. The one group that will not join are the true Christians. We know exactly what this Workd Religion is and who inspires it.
The World of God is a lamp to my path and a light for my feet. Unbrkuevetsxealj in darkness and are putty in Satan's hands. Satan is the father of lies. You guys are doomed to suck them all up.
Beeno quoting the Koran, the literal Christian Bible.
Not only is his religious beliefs a sign of stupidity, but they also show how morally lacking he is.
You are a heartbeat away from HELL
Christians are one heartbeat away from the heavens. Hopefully, one simple minded person had the ground to ground idea to add a condition: no suicide.
Unless things change you will have the pay the price for your sin and having rejected Christ as Savior you will not enter His Kingdom.
Ah, the reformation.
Anyone born before Christ did not accept Christ as saviour. It could not be done.
Now, the interesting bit: this basic observation was made by many simple minded Europeans (and others) and was a massive hurdle to proletysim and conversion.
Then Christians took the decision to switch to the grace path to salvation. Meaning that people born before Christ could be saved.
But hey, superior minded people are superior. Sort of.
