Fury as 'neutral' South Africa announces 'immoral' joint wargames with Russia and China off its coast on anniversary of Putin's invasion of Ukraine

[MAIL] South Africa's government has finally shown its colours and sided with the dictators by inviting Russia and China for war games next month.

After months of placating Russia's butchery in Ukraine, Cyril Ramaphosa has ditched his supposed 'neutrality' to the war by hosting the naval drills off the country's east coast near Durban and Richards Bay from February 17 to 27.

The move is the strongest indication yet of the strengthening relationship between South Africa, whose governing ANC party is allegedly in the pocket of a sanctioned Moscow oligarch, and the anti-West authoritarian regimes of China and Russia.

The 'multinational maritime exercise' has been slammed by South Africa's leading Daily Maverick newspaper as 'immoral, stupid and impractical'.

#2 Look at the opening three paragraphs. This is 100% pure propaganda designed to make you angry and support the deep state's objectives. Read them again.

South Africa is the S in BRICS. I mean, duh, obviously they're going to the R and C.

They use the Russia conspiracy theory, too, because when the ANC wants to pursue its own foreign policy independent of the deep state, suddenly it's Rooshins doing it. Where's that graphic, "Anything I don't like is Putin-Hitler"?

#4 If the SA military brings what the rest of their current gummint brings to the party, we should welcome this in the larger scheme of things.

#5 Ref #3: Perfidious Albion and our Deep State own it. The situation in South Africa is a desired outcome. Too bad Desmond Tutu, the traitor De Klerk, and Mandela didn't live to see it.

#9 Where's that graphic, "Anything I don't like is Putin-Hitler"?

Well, it used to be Bush-Hitler. Then it was Trump-Putin. I don't know, it keeps changing so often that I get confused. But it seems pretty constant these days that if you disagree with Democrats, you're either a Nazi or a racist or both.

#10 But I always thought the ANC was basically a communist organization.

#12 Seems like it was just yesterday South Africa was a nation every Western nation should idolize, or even literally adopt its constitution.
