SA must take tougher stance on Russia's Ukraine invasion — US

The U.S. urged South Africa to clarify its stance on the war in Ukraine, backing the European Union’s push for President Cyril Ramaphosa’s administration to take a harder line against the Russian incursion.

On the day the invasion began, South Africa’s foreign ministry urged Russia to immediately withdraw its forces and respect Ukraine’s territorial integrity.

If wheat prices increase as they are currently we will have another revolution.
SA made good money of WW2. Our coal is already up, platinum will increase etc.

Russia produces a lot of commodities that we also have. So does Ukraine

So why get involved in a war when neutrality actually benefits us?

South Africa won't. Cyril Ramaphosa just made this pretty clear in his weekly letter too. Sanction SA and make sure they are weakened and unable to provide Russia with nothing.

How can you say Ukraine is evil?

to be fair,. a government telling lies, hiding behind civilians, push civilians pick gun to join the war, restrict men to leave the country, condemn anyone doesn't support them ....... etc

that is enough for me to classify them as evil.
