Salisbury is now called Harare, seemed like a nice place back in 74.

The 79's fashion worn by the women, would have made Mary Tyler Moore jealous.

I wonder how many elderly black Rhodesians today miss the civilized days of white rule?

No, the Js and their puppets in D.C. drove them away.

We sided with Communism in WW2 only to go through a Cold War with Communists and later emphasized with their proxy campaigns against sovereign, nationalist states, South Africa and Rhodesia, from the 1970s-1980s.

Yeah, that's how effed up our foreign policy is.

“”seemed like a nice place back in 74.””

It was, according to all the Rhodes that I know that wound up here in Texas, all RLI and in my Texas Guard Battalion.

.

Then the communists got in the ear of the abo’s with some political know-how and now it is a commie shit-hole.

It’s probably to the point where now there are not enough old people there to tell the upcoming bucks and nannies just how much they have been f**ked over by the commie-c***-s******.

Too bad all the white people didn’t just leave all at once.

By going a few at the time the abos slowly learned how to demand “relief and aid” from all the other world wide commies.

If it was quick all the abos would have died off.

Okay, let me go all Cecil Rhodes here, but...

Western cultures go to sh!thole countries, and they are improved.
Sh!thole people come to our country, and it deteriorates.

Change my mind.

In 1979 I was at the University of Arizona pursuing my degree in Physics. While there I took Russian as a second language and would look at the Soviet Propaganda of the time. South Africa was clearly a target. While the Leftist press has moved on to other lies and Communist Crusades the Communist mess they behind in South Africa has been suffocating Civilization itself .

Just like what is happening currently in the US and elsewhere. Not sure how anyone thinks this will turn out different. We’ve been conditioned to believe that self preservation is evil.

Hard to believe, but the country was only 5% white - yet they built a beautiful country.

...until Jimmy Carter gave them a Death Sentence, and it was over in 1980.

Kinda was Carter’s thing to do.
His assistance in destroying Iran left the entire world worse off.

Soon you’ll be able to show a similar video about South Africa.

I don’t know anyone from Zimbabwe, but black South Africans do not miss the old days.

if you are interested in Rhoadesia,
this guy has a boatload of videos about his time in the bush, good stuff...

Five Romeo Romeo
Recollections of a soldier’s experiences during the Rhodesian Bush War against communism in the 1970’s. Five Romeo Romeo is the phonetic spelling for 5 Rhodesia Regiment.

We lived that era and Carter was not only a blight on America but he also destablized much of the middle East and Africa too.
