US Condemns South Africa’s Decision To Join Drills With Russia And China by Nobody: 2:25am On Jan 24, 2023 |
White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre did not say what consequences African governments that work with Russia’s Wagner private military company may face in the wake of Washington’s decision to designate it as a transnational criminal organization. The United States has concerns about a decision by South Africa to join Russia and China in their military drills, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters on Monday. "The United States has concerns about any country, as we've said before, exercising with Russia, while Russia wages a brutal war against Ukraine. <...> We've been consistent on this. Of course, every participating country will make their own decision. But again, we've said this before, we do have concerns," the White House press secretary said. She refused to say whether Washington had made this position clear to Pretoria, where Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov visited on Monday. "I don't have any conversations to read out, but we've been very-very consistent [on this issue]," Jean-Pierre said. She did not say what consequences African governments that work with Russia’s Wagner private military company may face in the wake of Washington’s decision to designate it as a transnational criminal organization. Nor did Jean-Pierre comment on whether US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen might be talking about this during her African tour. "I will leave any conversation that Secretary Yellen has had with leaders to her and to her office to speak to," the White House press secretary said. SOURCE DebbyParkway: |

Mumusaphire:South Africa was the favourite because they're the most developed and industrialized black nation on the continent. South Africa has the capacity and capability for such drills. Nevertheless, Nigeria is a regional (West African) naval power. 1 Like |

It's even more difficult for the US to criticize South Africa because SA is a democracy. Now they're unable to engage in name callings or find a pretext for regime change. 2 Likes |

Those hypocrites supporting the West won't see this... Just like Solomon Islands, they won't see this too. SA in Africa continent can't conduct a drill as a sovereign nation, Solomon Islands in Oceania as a sovereign nation can't have a military alliance with whomever she wants... But you expect Russ to allow Ukraine, Finland a neighbor of Russia? After Ukraine, Finland is the next... 9 Likes 1 Share |

At this moment the u.s can't do anything about it. All they'll do is to talk and no action will follow. SA is the most developed country in all of Africa, and they've proven that they understand geopolitics. Not because the u.s sees Russia as an enemy doesn't mean they're automatically an enemy to the rus. The enemy of my enemy is my friend 4 Likes 2 Shares |
