Listening to Duma Gqubule on 702 this morning

In pointer form commenting on the non existent presentation of the 2025 Financial Budget


"....

Jiggi jiggi ministers with idiotic policies in the anc for the past 16 years eventually being slapped down and stopped


Exhausted borrowing power

Incompetence of finance department

New growth budget...invest in people instead of steal from people

Debt ratio and fear mongering needs to stop. "


...and here SA wants to lay blame on Trump stopping aid to SA considering that aid assisted in enriching the most corrupt instead of minimizing the impoverishment and spread of life threatening diseases.


Time SA looks inwards and stops begging and empowering impoverishment.


Looking fwd to accountability and proper growth and assistance from WITHIN , for those who need it the most.

How dare you post such anti-revolutionary statements! How else are the government going to get their free taxi2 KFC meals ? President Trump sure ain't sending them the original colonel Sanders chicken for free!

Hey Wild_Weasel

I wish I could take credit for the pointers made.

Especially the part where Gqubule calls incompetent disillusioned self empowering ministers "jigga jigga" ministers of parliament...



(Hahahahahahaha! I am just quoting from his interview on 702 this morning)

... and him mentioningin the same breath,
past shamed minister Malusi Gigaba who had wanted to raise vat to 15% in 2018.

Trump - 10% tarriff increase on Chinese imports
China - 15 % tariff on American natural gas, fuel
Agricultural products, oil.
- Export control on rare earth minerals. Launches anti- trust investigations into
and android and Google
There has been no response from trump administration other than to seek talks with Beijing which was greeted by icy silence.

Both Trump and Elon started talking about 500billion investment into AI.
China has introduced Deepseek.
No more talk of AI in Washington.

Trump asked for the US, Russia and China to halve their defence budgets
China's response: America should forge ahead with their America First policy, and lead by example, as America has the biggest defence budget they should halve theirs first. China is compliant to all international law and has minimum nuclear weapons and don't seek to expand into the arms trade.

Trump now wants 50% of Ukraine rare earth minerals for payment for its defence against Russia. Ukraine is not happy with the deal.
China who also has great relationship with Russia is waiting in the wings.

It will be a mission just to get China around a table to discuss any of the above. They don't take lightly to being bullied by their enemies.

Beijing also hold the power of 1 billion people market. Cutting ties with them can be catastrophic if not handled properly.

America has a real problem with China and I doubt Trump will make it through this term as president before the American people tell him "You are fired"

Fact Check.. Have a nice day

"...In May 2019
WASHINGTON/NEW YORK (Reuters) - The Trump administration on Wednesday took aim at China's Huawei Technologies Co Ltd."

Is the world in for another lockdown?

At that time my piece written was about what the retaliation From China would be. Was there going to be WWlll

There was.

And we fear weapons of mass destruction?.....mmmmm


And no, I am not a conspiracy theorist. Just an avid follower of geopolitics and politics on the whole.

The war with Russia was inevitable. A piece I wrote a year bfr it happened. Making Russia enemy number one to destabilise central and eastern Europe, (leading supplier of gas in Europe feeding the allies of USA. THAT sort of power was a threat) a ripple effect into the Scandinavian countries, keeping the focus away from what biden and his cronies in the dark state have been going at for years and years.

As to Africa.

..why empower it and make it functional on a different level????

You must be crazy! Imagine the power Africa would have if it was allowed to flourish under the same principles that govern the rest of global economies.

Africa's curse is its people and buying into the power of propaganda that bases every success, every failure on skin colour many MANY years after the fact.

Keep Africa in the past and it remains no threat to the rest of the world.


....and a rich mine of untapped natural resources that all the money in the world could possibly not buy.

I hope China comes up with a better deal for peace in Ukraine with Russia, they will get preferance on their rare earth mineral worth half a trillion that Trump desperately wants. China already controls 98% of these minerals. Russia China and Ukraine can do a deal by freezing out the US. The writing will be on the wall for Donald Duck.. and don't count out the EU turning its back on the US due to the hectic tariffs imposed on them by the trump administration. At least then there will be a decline on military weapons being sent to Israel to bomb woman and children.

Yaaawwwnnn! When u awaken from your deep Democratic Party woke ideology slumber, then post something of substance. The wars in the Middle East and Ukraine was started under the Biden regime, who did NOTHING to to stop it except fuel it with arms to Ukraine because all his Dems party members have interests in the arms industries in the US! Suddenly when Trump is elected in a clean sweep of all centres of power, he stopped the Isreal conflict and is busy negotiating a deal with Russia to stop the war (all this within a month of being president), let alone the total sealing off the borders and deporting thousands of illegal immigrants back to their hell holes from where they came! Did you even see Trump's latest favorability ratings, it's averaging over 60%, admittedly by the leftist woke CNN media! Wait the next 4 yrs and world order and peace will be restored. I'm not even going to talk about your useless president Ramloota who's now begging Trump to continue getting free money to fund the ANC's incompetence and disaster they have caused! Btw, if ur'e not an American citizen and don't have a rats arse of a clue on what's happening in the USA, please keep ur verbal diarrhea to yourself and perhaps focus on SA politics and ur ANC's socialist agenda that's ruined SA!

It was only around 6 billion rands for funding. SA needs to make SA great again and USA will make USA great again. We have plenty money in SA. Just in the wrong pockets.
