I answered no as morally this is wrong. However from a real politik perspective perhaps in the long term they know China's day is coming and the USA is fading so pick your friends for the future, not the present? Still, who knows. Personally I prefer the do what is right regardless approach and Putin is not in any way justified in this war.

ANC don't do long term planning.

They simply go where the gravy flows and where they won't be held accountable for their actions.
 
no, we just built a big neon sign saying, Terrorists and oligarchs welcome here!
come park your superyachts and drive your Rollers on our roads, we welcome you.

our Police and Government are practically worthless and our Government is easily brought and coerced.
come set up shop here, we welcome you with open arms, our fellow comrades.

no wonder SA is seen as a Terrorist Halfway house, because we let them do whatever they like here.
 
Depends if we're looking at their policies, or "our" interests. Have to go with it being wrong for our considerations.
 
A question for those that voted "NO", do you also think that SA is being "morally correct" by supporting Palestine from it's occupation of Israel? Especially now that Israel has been declared an Apartheid state?

I have never seen so many alt troll accounts.....
 
And this makes SA a halfway house for terrorism? There are way more IS converts from the EU and North America.

Google it, or just check out this report from the EU:
"At least 800 fighters have left from European soil to Syria since the beginning of the conflict, including approximately 45-50 from Italy"

Syria: EU eyes potential threat from volunteer fighters - General news - ANSAMed.it

Syria: EU eyes potential threat from volunteer fighters, Risk of repercussions after return, anti-terrorism coordinator, , General news, Ansa

Does this mean the EU is a halfway house for terrorism?

Please stop with the hyperbolic reactions to negative news of South Africa. It's ridiculous.
