😡HOW DARE YOU! How dare South Africa make a decision for itself and follow an independent foreign policy, as NATO’s brain and think tank Atlantic Council shares its observations in article titled What we learned from Russia-China-South Africa military drills.

Surprise surprise it proceeds to complain that South Africa's not concerned with Ukraine nor toeing Western line, and want to conduct international relations as it sees fit (SHOCK!)

Clearly, didn’t learn anything, if you did, would have chosen a better title 🤡

SELECTIVE ETHICS: America's ignorance, on behalf of its politicians, doesn't cease to amaze. Here we have Anna Paulina Luna, US Representative from Florida, BEWILDERED that Zelensky threatened "American sons and daughters would go to far" if Ukraine loses.

Calling it "his war" - who the hell turned things upside down in Ukraine from 2013, if not earlier? Ukraine is a banana Republic with US hand-picked leaders.

It is precisely America's war - and while to pull back funding NOW is the right thing to do, it is sad US politicians only take note when a direct threat is issued to them.
