🚨🇿🇦🇺🇸 “SOUTH AFRICA IN DEEP TROUBLE FOR DEFYING THE UNITED STATES AGAIN: FBI BLOCKS SECRET CHINA-BOUND SUBMARINE WARFARE TRAINING SYSTEMS SHIPPED FROM SA, WARNING PRETORIA IS IGNORING WASHINGTON AND RISKING SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES” The United States, through the FBI and Department of Justice, has launched a major national security case after intercepting and moving to seize two highly sensitive anti-submarine warfare training systems that were being transported from South Africa to the Chinese military. American investigators say the equipment, known as Mission Crew Trainers, is designed to teach aircrews how to detect and track enemy submarines, using techniques similar to those employed by the US Navy and its allies. The FBI alleges the systems were not ordinary civilian simulators but advanced military-grade training platforms that could help China sharpen its ability to hunt submarines in strategic oceans. According to US authorities, the shipment was organised by a South African aviation and flight-test training company that has previously worked with Chinese military personnel. Washington believes this was part of a broader pattern in which Beijing quietly uses foreign-based institutions to absorb Western military knowledge and tactics, bypassing direct arms purchases. The US government argues that exporting such technology or expertise to a strategic rival violates strict export control and national security laws. Prosecutors are now asking a federal court to permanently confiscate the equipment, warning that if it had reached the People’s Liberation Army, it could have weakened the naval advantage of the United States and its allies. This latest incident adds to growing tension between Washington and Pretoria, with American officials privately expressing concern that South Africa is repeatedly ignoring US warnings while moving closer to China and Russia in defence and security cooperation. Analysts say the case could affect intelligence sharing, military partnerships and even economic relations. In the eyes of the FBI and US security agencies, this is no longer just a legal matter – it is a signal that South Africa’s refusal to listen to the United States on sensitive military issues is putting the country on a dangerous path in the middle of an intensifying global power struggle between the West and China.

Are you US servants that you repeat the bullshit they spin to the gullible? SA is a sovereign non aligned state. We have nothing to do with Trump wars aimed at killing unarmed Myslims.What hypocracy to blame a country for human rights abuses while you are busy instigating violence.

The United States Embassy in South Africa has said allowing Iranian forces to operate in South African waters is a sign of South Africa choosing to stand with a regime that brutally represses its people and engages in terrorism. defenceweb.co.za/sea/sea-sea/us…

@Megatron_ron It was not a request it was an instruction to an agent. Israel can only kill unarmed civilians who can not fight back.

BREAKING: 🇮🇱🇺🇸🇮🇷 Netyanahu told Trump not to attack Iran, Israel is not ready - NYT On Wednesday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu asked President Trump not to attack Iran, fearing that an American attack would also lead to an Iranian retaliation against Israel Reportedly, Netanyahu's request comes amid concerns that Israel has not yet sufficiently replenished its interceptor missile stockpiles for the Arrow-3, David Sling and THAAD, which would be required to defend against an Iranian missile attack.

@DesBailes @kalliekriel I really did not like the guy but what you say is an unnecessary lie. He was killed in his sleep by a crime and was never charged for rape. He was the leader of a very small group of extremist nobodies.

I think he will be a respected President but we all know that his party will have to win a few more seats in parliament and his partners in the GNU support him. Unlikely taken the SA history, the ANC policy of position for personal wealth and the DA leaders having their own ambitions.

🇿🇦 Peter Groenewald is rising as the next President of South Africa and that’s a nightmare for the ANC. The people are angry, the lies have gone too far, and even the black community is saying they’ve had enough. The ANC can’t hide it anymore: videos are popping up, their leaders are crying left and right, and the streets are speaking louder than their speeches. Google trends already hint that VF+ is leading, and the ANC knows it. When Groenewald takes the seat, corruption must face prison where it belongs. South Africans are tired of being fooled, tired of hearing the same old 'apartheid's fault' story while real people suffer. This is the downfall of the ANC and the rise of a new chapter for South Africa.

@MulderCorn I am sure a visit to Washington makes you feel very important. Why don't you win some elections for a change? Then you don't have to pledge your subservience to a foreign governance to have some political influence.

Of course it is. It is important to build military ties with powerful allies now that we are threatened by the Trump gang. We need allies who can buy our mineral resources not steal it, and who can defend us against US intimidation. It presents us with freedom of action to focus on economic growth and not maintaining enormous military capacity to satisfy the greed of westerm military industries.

Chinese and Russian warships are docked in Simon’s Town, and Iranian vessels have arrived. This is not what “non-alignment" looks like.
