Wow, yeah it’s true, found more sources that confirm too.

Links or it didn't happen

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.

Might makes right. Get ready for WWIII.

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.

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...
