US Expels South African Ambassador Amid Diplomatic Rift

Expelling South Africa’s ambassador like this feels like another reckless move by the Trump administration, escalating tensions without offering any real justification. Rubio calling Rasool a "race-baiting politician" is just more of the same inflammatory rhetoric they use to dismiss legitimate criticism of US policies. This kind of diplomacy-by-insult only isolates us further on the global stage.

Good for Rubio—America shouldn’t tolerate diplomats who disrespect our country and our president. If Rasool wants to push anti-American rhetoric, he can do it from South Africa, not on our soil. We need to stand strong and make it clear that we won’t put up with foreign officials who undermine our values.

Rubio and Trump are just doubling down on their usual right-wing, nationalist nonsense—dismissing any criticism of US foreign policy as "anti-American" while cozying up to actual authoritarians. This is just another example of them trying to silence voices from the Global South who challenge their imperial agenda.

So the US, under Rubio and Trump, is just expelling diplomats now for criticizing their right-wing agenda? This is classic imperialist bullying—punishing South Africa for not falling in line with US interests. Funny how they scream about "free speech" until someone calls out their racism and hypocrisy.
