South Africa To Hold Joint Drills With Russia & China, US Says "Cooperate With Democracies" - CRUX

[TexasTowelie]

South Africa has announced that it will hold 10-day joint maritime drills with Russia and China in February. The maritime exercise will take place from February 17 to 27, off the port city of Durban and Richards Bay. Over 350 South African army personnel will take part in the drills alongside their Russian and Chinese counterparts. The US, which has maintained a strategic partnership with South Africa for years, has expressed concern over the move. The drills also coincide with the first anniversary of Russia’s brutal invasion of Ukraine that started on February 24 last year. Is South Africa's "neutrality" fading away?
