Almost as if that's the whole point.

I'm worried that his response will be military coercion...

I haven't seen any reliable sources say this yet.
An article from February 3 https://www.sabcnews.com/sabcnews/minerals/?hilite=minerals by the country's public broadcaster, quotes the Minister of Minerals and Petroleum Resources, Gwede Mantashe, saying South Africa's minerals should be withheld from US, but I've seen no reports that it actually will be.
I also couldn't find anything at the government's website https://www.gov.za/, nor via DDG at Reuters or AP.

Oh, it absolutely will be. Our drunken defense secretary said that soft power is weakness.
Might makes right. Get ready for WWIII.

Is there a Lost Lemmings community?

It looks like that first link just references the original article. Seems to be an AI generated summary, too.

They are indeed crap. The Reuters link isn't even about this.
From SA's perspective, this would be get in front of cameras and pound your chest news, not get an unnamed spokesperson to whisper about it to some unknown reporter news. Like, why would you want to dramatically punch back... but keep it low key? Makes no sense.

I think this guy is very likely going to invade an Ally once he's consolidated his coup.

Inside the US. President Musk and the Cuck-in-Chief plan to cut the Pentagon budget in half. I mean, the defense contractors will still get plenty of cash but there won't be enough trained volunteer soldiers.

LOL, I did! Sorry!

He's a Russian asset, the question is only whether it's happening unwittingly. And I think we know how strongly wit is associated with Trump.

Good news if true. Setting and defending personal boundaries is essential in any relationship and especially dealing with a narcissist. It's not that different at the international scale.

Puerto-Rico is not north plus they voted in a referendum the US asked them to do to be part of the....
Oh, OK then, they'll abstain from the sun so they'll be whiter...

I keep seeing this, but realistically, what could Russia possibly do to the US? Russia can't even defeat a tiny country they share a border with. I'd be more worried about China when it comes to an actual threat.

Russia doesn't want anything from the the U.S. except what it's already doing. Fucking shit up on the international stage and thereby destabilizing NATO.
Any decrease is Western Hegemony is good for Russia. It doesn't matter whether they achieve it by tossing some people out of windows, or by helping an orange toddler ascend to the highest office in the U.S.
