#4 That just tells me it's scorched earth for Zelensky. He doesn't give a shit for Ukraine. Know who imports Africans to work/fight/whatever? Someone who doesn't give a fuck for his country.

I am a royal of the family of Abubakr. I wish to come and fight for Ukraine as I belive they my peeple too. I even look Ukranian in the fog of war so I will blend into them. But my ticket cannot process as the payment is stuck because of bank sanctions imposed by America. I would like to send you the money for my ticket so you can buy it for me and then I can com there. Please share your bank account number with me, and your pin and i will rally up enough troops from my country to come fight Putin. Look forward to your account details.

Abubakr the fifth
Chief son of Mohamadu

At the United Nations on Wednesday, South Africa was among 24 African countries that declined to join the resounding vote denouncing Russian aggression: 16 African countries abstained, seven didn’t vote at all and one — Eritrea — voted against it, keeping company only with Russia, Belarus, Syria and North Korea.

Oh, Lordy! I'm rolling here, Dron. I say go ahead and send it. You may get some cash out of the deal. Pro-tip: Offer to kick back a little, 10-15% is customary. I believe the Russian phrase is "I would show my gratitude".
