If Nazism is not as pervasive as you say it is in the Ukraine @Cray, why is it ok to train, support and arm far right extremists?
Did you mean to quote yebocan's post? It looks like you are asking me a question in response to someone else hypothetical?

In short, in normal times I don't think it's a good thing to arm and train any extremists, left or right, but in a fight for the existence of your country, am not sure the Ukrainians have the luxury of being picky on who his willing to fight to defend their country.

From few pages back, someone quoted Ramaphosa...some statement made yesterday.

But that is irrelevant , my question is hypothetical.

South Africa will toe the line as soon as anyone barks in the direction of ANC.

South Africa is part of BRICS, so it is going to fence sit as much as it can so there is no economic fallout from this whole crisis. Not saying it is right or wrong. SA will service the position which gives it the best outcome.

Russia hikes key rate to 20%, tells companies to sell FX​


The Russian central bank on Monday raised its key interest rate to 20% from 9.5% to counter risks of rouble depreciation and higher inflation.

Russia has also ordered companies to sell 80% of their foreign currency revenues, the central bank and the finance ministry said.

Kremlin has sent 400 mercenaries to Kiev to assassinate Zelensky: Report​

  • More than 400 Russian mercenaries have been flown in from Africa to assassinate Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky, Daily Mail reported.
  • A private militia known as the Wagner Group allegedly has orders from Vladimir Putin to take out Zelensky - and 23 other government figures - to allow Moscow to take over its eastern European neighbour, the report said.

Note: As reported by the Daily Mail, conveyed by Volodymyr Zelensky. I would like to read the report though...

Uhm, not even close.



How am I supposed to get news from both sides if only one side is broadcast ?

SABC? CNN? BBC? Fox? Al Jizz? I assume one or all of them are on DSTV?

Heck get it from Australia Today for all I care

Come on, half this thread is taken up by how Western media is all propaganda, now suddenly I'm supposed to use it to get a balanced view ?
