MY TAKE: The way forward is honesty, reform, and peace. No one should be excluded from economic opportunities because of their skin color or ethnicity. No one should be attacked or killed for being Black, White, Brown, or Asian. No one should be sent to concentration camps because of their race. The only path forward is justice and peace. Any demagogue who tells you otherwise is lying.
@CyrilRamaphosa@realDonaldTrump If we could vote for a president directly, you would not be president, Cyril.
You're lucky that your financial backers helped you buy the ANC presidency and that they further saved your arse with this bogus GNU.
Zille confirmed what many of us already knew.
World War 3 is trending because Iran has ended it's proxy war and fired a series of ballistic missiles into Israel, overwhelming the terrific Isreali Iron Dome.
If Israel react to this first wave, Iran plans to respond with a "crushing attack" second wave.
Iran claims this is retaliation for the slain Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah, and Hamas leader by Israel. Iran has told its citizens to brace for potential impact from Israel.
US President Joe Biden, directed the U.S. military to help Iran by shooting down the missiles targeting Israel within range.
However, Israel had intel about this attack and advised civilians to exit to bomb shelters nationwide before and during the strike.
But a short while later, Israelis received an official notice saying they could come out of the shelters. Israel still suffered some casualties. As some Iranian guy were caught on CCTV gunning down civilians.
Israel is yet to retaliate. United States is monitoring the situation.
Israel are allies with United States. While Iran are allies of Russia. So, Russia may be forced to 'assist', just how US 'assisted' Ukraine.
Hence, the imminent threat of a third world war.
