The hypocricy of the US is sickening.

Hypocrisy is not nearly as sickening as the deliberate targeting of children, kidnapping children and attacking hospitals and food transports. But different people have different morals. Mine is very different from yours.

@@sadimuntakim4109 Who has been killing millions in Iran and Afghanistan? Not the US. The Iranian government is killing more Iranians than the US. And the Afghans have been quite proficient in killing each other. But even if you are right, I assume -- but this is only an assumption on my part, so please correct me if I'm wrong -- that you would agree with me that it does not justify the Muscovite invasion of Ukraine and the deliberate and indiscriminate killing of Ukrainians.

Which was actually a good thing since it was the ANC that was trying to resist a brutal and oppressive system of apartheid, which btw the U.K. and USA supported. Meanwhile the U.K. and USA are also now supporting a new brutal and repressive system of apartheid in Israel Palestine. It's almost as if the U.K. and USA don't actually give a damn about human rights so long as their favoured regimes are in power.

Would be an awful shame if the USSR was a union including the nation that is being invaded and had its most popular leader's home nation invaded by the nation (and party controlling it) in question or did something like collapse like 3 years before Apartheid even ended (the people in charge would be different) making it seem like the regime could've ended without giving people guns like the Soviets did or was giving guns to destabilze an anti-communist nation (so they did it for their cold war agenda) while the other nations were doing it to end segregation (South Africa had a leader elected by citizens and was a part of the Allies in the CW) while just putting sanctions and financially aiding the ANC instead of militarily aiding them Yeah, imagine..

And we've always had white supremacist Nazis who hated the ANC and our democracy so much they went on a killing spree to make the most of the last few moments of apartheid. Now it's the DA showing so much passion and dedication in their support for the Nazis in Ukraine. And they hate the ANC with the same passion and work with the same dedication to remove them them from power. But unlike the AWB they're not going out and murdering the natives, they're just coming up with or or surporting consistent and persistent allegations that undermine the government and alienate the masses from their liberators and beroes. Maybe these old differences between the governing party and it's opposition are irreconcilable

Make that 50 nations, and it can't happen overnight like magic. Russia's 3-day war has bogged down into a quagmire of their own making, but it will take time for sanctions and military aid to take its full toll on Russia. It took 4 years to wear down Germany in both world wars, and it may well take as long here. But the end result will still be the same. Total defeat for the aggressor nation. Russia's economy is only 3 percent of those 50 countries actively supporting Ukraine, or less than half the size of California. So the end result is historically inevitable. It's a mathematical certainty. Ukraine grows stronger and Russia weaker with each new day. Time does not favor Russia in a long war. So long as Ukraine's many allies keep their resolve, Russia's dreams of conquest and it's war effort in Ukraine are surely doomed.

You saying that Russia and the US are equal in terms of soft power. That’s not even close. It’s basic as this do South Africans want to sell their products and produce on the US markets and get paid big bucks or do they want to sell to Russia and get paid peanuts. It’s simple want to have access to the western markets then abide by their rules and culture. Otherwise the doors there to play with countries like North Korea and Russia. The choice is simple.
Africa is by no mean neutral. They side with the winning side that will provide their starved people woth food and medication and doctors.
