South Africa is in a economic alliance with Russia. We have no military alliance with them. We like many other nations have wargames and training exercises.
We had one with the USA the other day.
If WW3 kicks off we won't be doing anything but having a "braai". We have our own problems.
Africa- soooooo hot right now , so hot. >

Unfriendly ports willing to house strike range weaponry?

Is SA an unfriendly port? 
"Strike range" is kind of a broad term too. Everything is strike range when sub launched ordnance and  ICBMs exist. 
Is SA willing to house Russian missiles? Or do you mean a Russian ship off their coast has one? >

This is about Janet Yellen, the US Treasury Secretary. She was already in Africa, and visited Senegal several days ago. >

Reddit's answer to anything a nation does that they don't like: Sanctions. >

if you listened to the "smart" people on Reddit you would already be sanctioning half the world >

Russia literally says they're at war with the entire West. If they're at war with us, and they're military allies with South Africa, what does that make South Africa? It makes them a Russian ally. An ally of a nation that claims it's at war with the entire West. 
I don't think that sanctions are absurd. The way things are going, it's going to be more than sanctions flying at South Africa. Especially if a third world war kicks off.
