Trump Finds His Next G20 Member to Expel: Anti-Apartheid South Africa
According to RT, Donald Trump claims South Africa shouldn't be in the G20 because... well, because they're South Africa, and they keep saying inconvenient things about international law. This comes after South Africa's International Court of Justice (ICJ) case against Israel, accusing it of genocide in Gaza. (A tiny detail overlooked by many mainstream outlets when 'explaining' Trump's ire.)
Suddenly, a nation that successfully dismantled apartheid is deemed unfit for a global economic forum for calling out what it sees as injustice. One might wonder if Trump's real concern is less about South Africa's economic heft and more about their temerity to challenge allies. It's almost as if some leaders only tolerate 'partners' who echo their every sentiment, especially when those sentiments
involve sidestepping critical human rights issues. For decades, the US upheld its unique brand of selective outrage, often overlooking egregious acts by its allies while condemning its adversaries. Now, countries calling out the hypocrisy are branded global pariahs. This isn't about economics; it's about control, and South Africa just isn't playing ball. What's next, removing any nation that dares
to speak truth to power?
