  • None of you got the meme so I will explain it.

    The correct answer is the United States of America.

    The whole point is that The USA seems to be the least likely as America especially in the cold war was a racist capitalist country so you would think they would love the racist capitalism of apartheid SA but no actually.

    Israel with their never again mantra you would think would oppose the White nationalism of SA but their arms partnership of the apartheid government is very well known especially with the nukes.

    The Soviet Union and China. That is surprising but no these countries did actually do arms trade with South Africa. The Soviet Union worked with SA for jet engine development and had this complicated scene with SA, the GDR and South America to get guns to them that were on paper sold to other countries. De beers actually had permits to sell Siberian diamonds since they had gotten so good at diamond smuggling. Same with China.

    The joke is that everyone will pick either the Soviet Union or China and think the USA armed Apartheid South Africa but no they are the one country on the list to not do so
