South Africa is on the verge of “collapse” amid rolling blackouts and warnings a total power grid failure could lead to mass rioting on the scale of a “civil war”.

Western embassies including the United States and Australia have advised their citizens in the country to stock up on “several days worth” of food and water and be on high alert during extended blackouts sweeping the country.

Make no mistake in a sea of epic Democrat fails-

Russia and China strategically aligning around the globe is the biggest fail of all.

US policy has been befriend one and use it against the other for decades.

So we give them a billion to squander on green cars and whatnot, which they don’t want or need, and expect them to bow down to us. What ignorant hubris. This is a great illustration of the devastation biden has brought to foreign affairs.

Is this nonsense out of Atlas Shrugged? All we need is a pirate on the open seas to bring fiction to nonfiction.

South Africa is marxist socialist since the 90s

Why? Because the world considers the USA as Flakes. Untrustworthy. Every few years we deviate from Leftists to Interventionists, to Isolationists.
We as a country have no National Compass. We are unreliable. Period. Our country is a mess. A multicultural tug-of-war society that no one can count on for anything remotely resembling stability or coherence.
A totally dysfunctional superpower with no coherent world perspective. A nation at war with ourselves.

There's 4.5 million Whites in South Africa. The writing is on the wall. They should have left around 20 years ago.

Also, there are 1.2 million Indians. They should leave too. I assume they are industrious and entrepreneurial.

Around 20 years ago, I had a friend that told me the next
goal was to turn the United States into South Africa.

I laughed.

Not laughing so hard now, with CRT and other things going
on.

"That's Gratitude? After billions in US aid (including a recent $1 billion pledge), South Africa is conducting joint military exercises with Russia and China

Well, at least with the Russian and Chinese presence the South African natives won't have worry about an apartheid-like social environment.(/sarc)

We’ve been sending billions over there since I was a teen in the 60s. The more we help, the more they hate us.

I am reminded of an old OLD political cartoon from around sixty years ago.
A woman labeled as The Unaligned world is sitting on Nikita Khrushchev’s lap all hugged up to him.
She is wearing a ring labeled “American Foreign Aid”.

She looks back at Uncle Sam standing there and says...”Of course I love you! I’m wearing your ring aren’t I!”

South Africa allying with "homophobic" Putin?

What will western liberals do now? After all, South Africa is a western white liberal colony, which is why they're the only country in Africa that's been on the "gayvy train."
