Even better, it is improving the solidarity of the BRICS nations.
Blinken's visit to South Africa, DRC, and Rwanda back in August. Trying to drive a wedge in BRICS, maybe try to get a "good deal" with DRC and all those ores.
Do they think this stunt was forgotten?

ANALYSIS: Proposed U.S. law seeks to punish African countries for ‘aligning’ with Russia

A new law to punish states that back certain Russian actions could have major implications for African countries.
But what about the bill’s intention to thwart Russian efforts to ‘invest in, engage, or otherwise control strategic sectors in Africa, such as mining and other forms of natural resource extraction and exploitation, military basing and other security cooperation agreements, and information and communications technology’? Does that mean any African country where a Russian company invests will fall foul of this legislation? Or will it only apply to investments that advance Putin’s supposedly nefarious ambitions?
Two potentially controversial case studies in South Africa spring to mind. One is the lucrative United Manganese of Kalahari mine in South Africa, owned by Putin’s oligarch chum Viktor Vekselberg – but with 22 per cent held by the ruling African National Congress’s (ANC) own corporation, Chancellor House.
This dodgy investment is probably keeping the cash-strapped ANC financially afloat. And it’s been speculated that that is the real reason for the government’s controversial ‘non-aligned’ stance on the Ukraine war.
Another case study could be the joint venture between African Rainbow Minerals – owned by South African President Cyril Ramaphosa’s brother-in-law Patrice Motsepe – with Russia’s Norilsk Nickel in the potentially lucrative Nkomati nickel mine.
How the U.S. will see such investments is unclear. However, what is emerging is not so much a picture of the U.S. targeting Africa because it voted the wrong way at the UN. Instead, it seems Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has sparked a new Cold War psychosis – and that all other considerations will henceforth be subordinated to the imperatives of that conflict.
