The "Sovereign State" Lie SA Communists Hide Behind

South Africa’s political class keeps hiding behind the phrase “we are a sovereign nation” — but what does sovereignty actually mean in international law, and what are the consequences of abusing it?

In this video, I break down the dangerous word games played by communists and ideologues in South Africa, explaining where the concept of sovereignty comes from, how it was shaped by the United Nations Charter, and why sovereignty has never meant freedom from consequences.

Using recent statements from figures like Carl Niehaus, I explain why aligning South Africa with regimes such as Iran, hosting military drills, and harbouring terrorist-linked organizations places the country on a collision course with the United States and the broader Western world. Sovereignty gives nations the right to choose their allies — but it also gives other nations the right to respond with sanctions, tariffs, isolation, or worse.

This video exposes the myth that South Africa can act like an enemy of the West while still enjoying unrestricted trade, economic access, and diplomatic immunity. You cannot provoke the most powerful nation on Earth and then act shocked when it pushes back.

If you want a clear, historical, and unapologetic explanation of:
• Sovereignty and international law
• UN Charter misconceptions
• South Africa’s Iran alignment
• Sanctions, tariffs, and economic consequences
• Why “non-alignment” is a lie

— then this video is for you.
