I disagree.
I believe Trump’s recent antipathy to South Africa is 100% fueled by SA’s bringing suit against Israel for Genocide to the ICC court.

White South Africans are 7% of the population but own 70% of the land and NONE of the people off to the USA at Trumps invite are actually farmers. Has Trumps “White Genocide” dossier been put together by one Adrian Zenz, perchance?
White colonialists are the same the world over. Can dish it out for centuries, but then complete snowflakes if everything’s not 100% their way.

Like the proverbial broken clock….. Trump was right with this quip:
Trump wonders ‘what the hell’ Zelensky was doing in South Africa
Trump in the WH meeting with Ramaphosa…. I phoned up Zelensky and they told me he was in South Africa.
I said: What the hell is he doing in South Africa?
As RT reported in April:

Why Zelensky suddenly remembered Africa exists
April 26
By Moussa Ibrahim, Executive Secretary of the African Legacy Foundation, Johannesburg
The Ukrainian leader’s visit to South Africa is not a bilateral courtesy, but part of a grander Euro-American project to fracture the Global South
When Ukraine’s leader Vladimir Zelensky lands on African soil, he is not just making another stop in a diplomatic tour.
He is bringing with him the full weight of the Euro-American agenda, crafted in Washington, Brussels, and London, with the aim of drawing Africa into a war it did not start and does not benefit from.
This is not about Ukraine seeking understanding or empathy – it is about maintaining a global hierarchy, in which Africa is expected to follow, not to lead.
To understand the gravity of this moment, we must move beyond the spectacle and soundbites and revisit the deeper currents shaping the world today.
The war in Ukraine is not a self-contained event. It is the product of decades of NATO expansion, Western military-industrial escalation, and the relentless refusal of the West to accept a multipolar world.
Ukraine, tragically, is not a sovereign protagonist in this story – it is a pawn.
Zelensky’s visit to South Africa is thus not a bilateral courtesy – it is part of a greater project to fracture the Global South’s solidarity with Russia, China, India, and the BRICS alliance.
Africa must resist this.
Ukraine’s historical disregard for Africa
Let us not be seduced by the sudden charm offensive. Ukraine’s voting record at the United Nations has consistently been aligned with the West – even when it meant opposing African interests. Ukraine has supported anti-Palestinian resolutions, abstained on decolonization issues, and followed the European bloc in rejecting anti-racism initiatives. Its sudden discovery of Africa is opportunistic, not principled.
Even more disturbing was the treatment of African students and migrants during the early stages of the 2022 war. As Ukrainians fled to neighboring countries, black students were denied transport, harassed, and pushed to the margins of safety corridors. This racial hierarchy is not incidental – it is embedded in the very white European supremacist frameworks that Africa has struggled against for centuries.
So we must ask: What kind of partnership is this? What solidarity do we owe to a nation that, in its moment of crisis, showed Africa its back?
Cultural imperialism and the weaponization of sympathy
Ukraine’s diplomatic messaging is powered not by traditional diplomacy, but by Western PR firms, Hollywood scripts, and media manipulation.
Zelensky himself is a product of entertainment politics, styled to mimic Churchill one day, and a Netflix hero the next.
This soft power offensive is designed to induce guilt, moral pressure, and emotional submission.
Africa must not confuse media saturation with moral legitimacy. Our memory is long. We know that NATO has never cared for peace – only for hegemony. We know that selective outrage is a weapon.
And we must see Zelensky’s appeal for what it is: a geopolitical script to preserve Western dominance by appealing to the sympathies of the formerly colonized.

Stop spreading bullshit, the white’s invaded and took the land as theirs by force and no one in the West complained. Now that the indigenous Black population won a very long war against the invaders and want to take back their land the West complains! Utter fucking hypocrisy. The government is taking part of that stolen land back, leaving extremely large amounts with a white population that accounts for only 7% of South Africans and the process has taken three decades. At the same time a real genocide is happening in Gaza, for which Trump is supplying the weapons and munitions.
Trump’s attack is absolutely because South Africa had the temerity to call out Israel on its genocide, and also due to the poisonous influence of the racist Musk and other ex South Africans/South West Africans such as Thiel, Roelof Botha, David Sacks (members of the “Paypal Mafia”).

The Great Satan (USA) out does itself with this attack – the Yanks just bomb whomever they don’t like, especially in Africa, and even moreso in a war torn state.
“The US Navy conducted the largest-ever airstrike from an aircraft carrier during an operation in Somalia earlier this year, Admiral James Kilby, acting chief of naval operations, has said.
The USS Harry S. Truman and its strike group “launched the largest airstrike in the history of the world – 125,000 pounds (62.5 tons) – from a single aircraft carrier,” the US Navy’s top admiral claimed at an event hosted by the Council on Foreign Relations think tank in Washington on Monday.
A defense official told Business Insider on Wednesday that the bombing run took place on February 1 and involved 16 F/A-18 Super Hornets.
According to US Africa Command, a total of 25 airstrikes against Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) and Al-Qaeda affiliate group Al-Shabaab have been carried out by American forces in Somalia since January.”

The Deputy Director of the Great Satan’s CIA has said China is a great threat to it – dechypered – this means its a threat to the Great Satan’s hegemony around the globe.
“China’s economic might makes the Asian nation a unique challenge as the US competes with it for global influence, CIA Deputy Director Michael Ellis has said.
“China is the existential threat to American security in a way that we really have never confronted before,” Ellis said in an interview with Axios on Wednesday. Unlike with the Soviet Union, the current competition is primarily unfolding along economic lines, he explained.
Ellis said technological supremacy in fields such as artificial intelligence, quantum computing, biotechnology, semiconductors, and advanced energy storage will ultimately determine the outcome of the geopolitical contest.
He outlined the CIA’s evolving priorities in an era where traditional methods of human intelligence gathering face increasing limitations. There has to be an “evolution in operational tradecraft,” Ellis stated. “While some of the tools and techniques from the 1960s or 70s might still work today, a lot of them need to be updated and refreshed.””

Average daily advancement of the Russian Armed Forces in the SMO zone. Updated data from May 14 to May 17, 2025. The rate of advance is 31.5 km² per day for the period, the total advance is 126 km². In May, no less than 400 km will be captured, clearly marking a return to the offensive operations that began around this time in 2024 and lasted until early 2025.

Trump once again seems to have broken the minds of the liberal media with his confrontation with South Africa’s President Ramaphosa over their treatment of the White Afrikaners. Kadath at 1.
>> see Newbie at 20 for ex, and …
Elon Musk, the DOGE Advisor-in-Chief, is South African, he got a green card, and then became ‘naturalized’ citizen (USA.)
Errol Musk, E. Musk’s father, lives in S. Africa.
wiki not great – but gives some highlights, of course the whole family is “White” top class…
In the early 1990s, Errol, then aged 45, married Heide Bezuidenhout, a 25-year-old he described as “one of the best-looking women I’ve ever seen in my life”. Heidi’s daughter Jana Bezuidenhout, then four, became Musk’s stepdaughter, and later his romantic partner (and subsequently mother of two children together). Musk and Heidi also had two children of their own…
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Errol_Musk
Elon Musk afaik is single now (??) but has around 13 (12 or 14, idk, probably 14 by now) children, all white.
Gotta keep the white race going! From Poppa to Son and now Trumpy is supporting them, though the moves are of course symbolic.
How is this relevant? Maybe not highly so, yet, personalia, personal relations, ersatz loyalty to ‘tribes’ etc. rule the roost in some sectors of international affairs.

Alex Krainer has a more optimistic take on Trump on Dialogue Works: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J6J5TgPFFeY
He contends that Trump is confronted with very powerful Zionists, mercenaries and Bank of London bloodlusts which limits his capacity to make positive change. TTrump’s apparent schizophrania is more of a tactic to deflect the relentless condemenation that would occur if he had one sided positions of peace with Russia.Putin and Xi are well aware of his limitations and work cooperatively with him. While Krainer’s views might be naive, they are still reasoned and plausible. Lets face it, however virtuous we maybe, if any of us were actually elected President, we would be confronted with the same forces that would kill us and and our family if we ever stepped out of line and might react differntly under that calculus then we do on an unaccountable blog.

So it turns out, that Israeli lobbyists convinced the English government of the day to fully proscribe Hamas, even its political wing.
In 2006 the British government members of parliament were handing out Hezbollah flags, on a trip organised by the British Council to Lebanon.
“It is a domestic UK offence under the ICC Act to be complicit in genocide.
The UK has supplied munitions, aircraft parts, aerial surveillance, special forces and diplomatic support to open Genocide in Gaza. Nobody charged.”

“Swinney and Robertson are ardent long term zionists:

In 2017 as Education Secretary Swinney ordered teaching materials on Palestine removed from the Scottish govts education website
They refuse to release the minutes of their meetings with the Israeli Ambassador”

Oops scrub my (48) comment it was all preplanned – after meetings with Israeli officials to make them (EU MEPs) look as if they’d had enough of the genocide – the English PM and his Foreign Secretary David Lammy, must have also been in on it as well, as they too openly critcised Israel as well – these truly are evil vile people, who think we are stupid.
“A senior Israeli official tells the Haaretz paper why European leaders shifted yesterday, after 19 months of silence about the Gaza genocide, to instant outrage. It was all coordinated with Israel in advance:
“The past 24 hours were all part of a planned ambush we knew about. This was a coordinated sequence of moves ahead of the EU meeting in Brussels – and thanks to joint efforts by our ambassadors and the foreign minister, we managed to moderate the outcome.”
The current outrage as is orchestrated as was the earlier silence. No one in our governments cares about the Palestinians or their extermination. Their only concern is the optics.”

Thank you for the interesting links. I skipped the paywalled ones. None of your links, including the original Wikipedia one state, with certainty, that 80,000 were killed in that incident. They proffer claims of 10,000 to 80,000+.
4 priests in 4 days killing 80,000 is a kill rate of 13.89 per minute. We could probably achieve that using a conveyor belt to move the victims and robot arms with knife and removal device to cut out and remove that many hearts. Even at 10,000 the kill rate would be 1.74 per minute; unlikely even for the most energetic and well trained priests — unless they forgo the offering of the heart to the gods.
There have been many examples of exaggerations and even outright lies in historical texts. One should question claims that seem improbable. Don’t believe everything you read on the internet. Repeatedly stating the physically impossible number of 80,000+ as a fact, not born out by any of your linked ‘proofs’ has become tiresome

There is a rift between the US and Israel. The “international community” wants to lift / has lifted sanctions against Syria. Al Jolani has already visited president Macron in Paris.
But Israel doesn’t like that and wants the sanctions to remain in place, in order to keep Syria “weak”. My assumption is that the “international community” has become more critical about Israel is the result of this rift between the US and Israel over Syria. This gives western politicians the opportunity / the cover to become more critical of Israel. Here israel has lost one battle with the US.

Having global elites at elite is also a mechanism to brainwash them into worshipping America.

I agree with Krainer that the Zionists are increasingly feeling themselves running out of time as (i) US Jews under 55 are now majority non-Zionist (ii) the number of US Christian Zionists is falling every year (iii) the tensions within Israeli society are at boiling point between the Jewish liberals and fundamentalists (iv) the Yemeni attacks are causing significant political and economic problems. And Netanyahu himself is up against the wall needing to stay in power to stay out of jail. In addition, even the US population in general and US media are now turning against Israel because of the continuation of the Gaza genocide.
The Zionists, especially the Jewish and Christian fundamentalists, are so crazy that they could drive a regional war as a biblical war to bring on the Messiah. Imagine them as a Zionist ISIS. People such as Netanyahu are just psychopathic manipulative players who ride off this insanity to maintain their power. Buts lets remember even the Liberal Zionists believe in their divine right to steal the land of Palestine.
Best outcome would be a civil war in Israel, let them tear each other apart. The population has been so ingrained with hatred over many decades that it is not retrievable. Better for Israel to implode. For the US, an attack on Iran would lead to an accelerated decline as it would remove any focus from China and suck in so many resources while destroying even further the US position in the world. And the end would not be clean, as Israel would be destroyed while the Iranians would still remain short of a nuclear attack which would risk WW3. Yemen has given the US a little taste of the trouble it will have attempting to attack Iran.
With respect to the alliance of Russia, India and China (RIC) their best bet is to wait as the West continues to descend into toward its own denouement, with Trump working hard to accelerate that descent.

I’m fourth generation Irish Canadian.
My great, great uncle emigrated from Cork to the US and got a job on the railroad out West in the mid 1850’s.
White guys, non Irish were the bosses, the workers were Irish, Chinese Coolies or Black slaves.
Well blasting through rock for tunnels et al was a dangerous job at that time.
The bosses never used their Black slaves for that dangerous job. Because if the Irish or Chinese died they didn’t pick up their pay cheque on Friday; if the black slave died the owner would lose $2k to $5k.
But my Irish ancestor was a Colonialist?

The China-India issues are the problem, and something the US will capitalize on. Sober analysts suggest that China will wage hot war on India via their Pakistan proxy imminently (the subcontinent is such a tragedy)… the US will ‘support’ India (hard selling F35 etc.)… don’t see any China-India alliance anywhere on the horizon, in fact I expect Pakistan to retaliate within India ‘proper’ within a year when loose ends are tied up (e.g. 40 J35s coming on an expedited basis)… India could well lose a conventional hot war, and then we’ll see what their no-first-strike policy really means… Easily one of the most dangerous geopolitical situations on the planet right now given the established ‘new normals’.

Look at a goddamn map.
Ireland is an island to the northeast of Europe. Canada sits at the top of North America. Irish people are from Ireland. Canadian people are from Canada. This is a geographic matter.
Yes, your Irish ancestors were colonialist, even if not exactly the most fortunate ones.
And you’re still colonialist, your every word just proves it further.

Free Greater Alberta!
We need a free and independent Greater Alberta. A Greater Alberta that comprises Manitoba, Aberta, Saskatchewan the Northwest Territories, the Yukon, and Eastern British Columbia ( Victoria and Vancouver can become part of the Greater Seattle Metro area, they’ll never know the difference).
It will retain its autonomy based on its current constituion. It will negotiate a Union with the USA, not as a State but as an automouus civil state, with limited autonomy in defense and international affairs. It’s citizen’s will not be subject to conscription by the USA. Also, the USA will provide a common currency by converting each Canadian Dollar held by Greater Albertans direct to one USD.
The remaining rump of Canada can go its own way. Initial citizenship will be based on the most recent census.
Free Greater Alberta!

More on alternate media….
Indianpunchline was one of my goto source for South Asian politics.
It often gave politically incorrect insights on Indo/sino spat..
Exhibit A

First, contrary to what India media claimed, there has been no Chinese ‘intrusion’ on to India’s sacred soil. On the contrary, Indian military moved into Doklam on the China-Bhutan border, which has been under Chinese control all along.

The Boundless Informant comes as a wake-up call to the effect that what are Beijing’s woes today from the US’s containment strategy might as well be Delhi’s tomorrow

Just like Japanfocus, havent found anything worth archiving from IndianPunchline for ages, fact is. , he doesnt seem to comment much on Indo/sino spat these days .

hmm,
Havent found anything worth archiving at P & I for months, first they scrap the comment section [where I posted for a while] and now a change of editor …

I once told canuck,

YOur ‘what about the Aztec genocide ?’ excuse wont work with any self respecting judge, neither would it work with gawd on judgement day

As for his ‘all men are born predators’ crap, here’s Dr Mahathir on China vs garden..

we have traded with China for nearly two thousand years—(laughter)—exchanging forest products with Le Ko Wei (ph) and things like that. But China never conquered us. We have relations with Europe. The Portuguese came to Malaysia in 1509. Two years later, they came and conquered us. So I always feel that I’m safer with China than with Europe. (Laughter.)

Im done with canuck, need not reply

so does that mean the globalists will be able to exploit them more easily, or less?? what do you think??

Well, that didn’t take long, did it?
Barely had ink dried on the Geneva concensus ( so to speak) than Washington walks back the spirit, if not the letter, of the agreements.
First, long arm jurisdiction over Huawei chips, next, sanctions/tariffs on batteries.
Even as talks were winding down, Chinese media continued to issue articles warning against blackmail, coercion and gathering an anti Beijing posse.
Rightly, it decided not to relax its rare earths controls.
China looks back on a long history, old and recent, of American bullying and deceit to put any faith in empty promises.
For those who don’t understand this cynicism, watch the hit movie Detective Chinatown 1900.
It’s a murder comedy that revolves around an improbable cross racial romance, a Chinese orphan adopted by Native Americans and the Chinese Exclusion Act.(English subs)
Fast forward to the climactic scene where Chow Yun Fatt, acting as his own lawyer, lashes out against the racist arrogance and opprobrium heaped upon the community.
2. Prof Kerry Brown’s 10 minute speech at Cambridge Union also recounts modern events – collapse of Soviet Union, the 2008 financial meltdown which China helped to bail out – that give insight into the trust deficit between Beijing and Washington.
Both on YouTube.
Have a good day then

The West is full of idealists, easily rallied behind a new campaign, always ready to save democracy, the world, and the universe.
Each time they are warned it’s not going to turn out as well as they think. And each time there is a refusal afterwards to take responsibility for the results of their actions. Onwards they march to the next noble cause.

Trump’s evidence of South Africa ‘white genocide’ contains images from Democratic Republic of Congo
Other images displayed by Trump during meeting with South African president Cyril Ramaphosa were false or misleading
The evidence of supposed mass killings of white South Africans presented by Donald Trump in a tense White House meeting on Wednesday were in some cases images from the Democratic Republic of Congo, while footage shown during the meeting was falsely portrayed as depicting “burial sites”.
“These are all white farmers that are being buried,” said Trump, holding up a print-out of an article accompanied by a picture during the contentious Oval Office meeting with South African President Cyril Ramaphosa.
The picture accompanying the article was in fact a screengrab of a video published by Reuters on 3 February and subsequently verified by the news agency’s fact check team, showing humanitarian workers lifting body bags in the Congolese city of Goma. The image was pulled from Reuters footage shot after deadly battles with Rwanda-backed M23 rebels.

The White House did not respond to a Reuters request for comment.
At another point in the meeting, Trump ambushed Ramaphosa by playing a video that he claimed proved genocide is being committed against white people in South Africa. Within it was footage that Trump claimed showed the graves of more than a thousand white farmers, marked by white crosses.
The footage – taken at a highway connecting the small towns of Newcastle and Normandein in South Africa – in fact showed a memorial site, and not graves.
Rob Hoatson, who set up the memorial to capture public attention, told the BBC it was not a burial site.
“It was a memorial. It was not a permanent memorial that was erected. It was a temporary memorial,” he said. The memorial was setup in the aftermath of a murder of two Afrikaner farmers in the local community.
The video played by Trump on Wednesday contained several falsehoods and inaccuracies, but was intended to back the president’s offer of “refuge” to persecuted white farmers, which has angered the South African government which disputes the allegations. The White House claimed it showed evidence of genocide of white farmers in South Africa. This conspiracy theory, which has circulated among the far-right for years, is based on false claims.
The video prominently featured Julius Malema, a firebrand politician known for his radical rhetoric. He was seen in several clips wearing the red beret of his populist, Marxist-inspired Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) party and chanting calls to “cut the throat of whiteness” as well as a controversial anti-apartheid song “Kill the Boer, kill the farmer”.
Trump falsely said he was a government official, insinuating his inflammatory slogans reflected an official policy against South Africa’s white minority.
Malema is an opposition politician who gained prominence advocating radical reforms including land redistribution and nationalising key economic sectors.
The party only came fourth in last year’s elections, with 9.5% of the vote. During the Oval Office meeting, Ramaphosa and his delegation distanced themselves from Malema’s rhetoric.
Agriculture minister John Steenhuisen, a member of the centre-right Democratic Alliance, told Trump he joined Ramaphosa’s multiparty coalition “precisely to keep these people out of power”.
Ramaphosa visited Washington this week to try to mend ties with the United States after persistent criticism from Trump in recent months over South Africa’s land laws, foreign policy, and alleged bad treatment of its white minority, which South Africa denies.
