It is the first defence cooperation under the Brics framework, with the Russian and Iranian navies reportedly taking part
The South African National Defence Force on Wednesday said the exercise – dubbed Will for Peace 2026 – would bring together “navies from Brics Plus countries for an intensive programme of joint maritime safety operations, interoperability drills and maritime protection serials” from January 9 to 16.
It said China would lead the exercise but did not specify which other countries would attend. Media reports have named Russia and Iran as participants, with Indonesia and Ethiopia also likely to take part.
Of course they aren’t. Anyone who said they were doing that was either a moron or bullshitting. Albeit this news specifically is about Africa, but the same goes for South America. It is clear that China is in there to stay. No amount of regime change can change that. Even the ultimate Zio-imperialist bootlicker Milei was forced to go back to doing business as usual with China. China’s offer is just too good and the US offers nothing but destruction and plunder.
The US will succeed in some regime changes and fail in others, but even where they succeed they will ultimately fail because China’s economic force of gravity is only growing stronger and the US’s weaker, so all they do is exchange one regime that works with China for another regime that works with China but offers lip service to the Washington line.
