The extent to which the DA is aligned with the morally bankrupt West’s support for Ukraine is evident by Home Affairs minister Leon Schreiber’s unilateral granting of visa-free access to officials of the despotic Zelensky regime.
In June 2023 the DA got in a froth about Vladimir Putin’s visit to South Africa and wanted him arrested in terms of the ICC’s charges of war crimes in Ukraine. Oddly, the DA did not advocate the arrest of China’s President Xi Jinping on that occasion, despite the fact that Xi’s humanitarian record makes Putin’s look quite moderate.
Be that as it may, DA leader John Steenhuizen’s defence of his colleague’s granting of visa-free access to Zelelsky’s henchmen reeks of double standards. He opposes the ANC’s regard for Putin as an ally because Russia is “an authoritarian regime engaged in a contentious military conflict” (The Mercury, October 29).
Yet in the same breath, Steenhuizen expresses the need to show “solidarity” with the Zelensky regime in Ukraine. How does he justify that considering Zelensky has banned all opposition, closed down their television stations and provides no accountability for the billions of US taxpayer largesse supplied by the Biden/Harris regime?
Support for Ukraine also means condoning the international criminal syndicate which uses Ukraine as a conduit for human trafficking and money laundering. The vociferous support of the elites in Western states and their satraps, in particular the US Democrat Party, should alert scrutiny as to why they are so protective of the corrupt Zelensky regime.
South Africa has no business getting involved in Ukraine. Leave Europe’s problems to Europe. Instead, the DA and the ANC should be focusing on the threat of conquest and destabilisation posed by Islamic insurgency in the northern province of Mozambique.
