I, for one, welcome our new space overlords.

President’s decree claims white South Africans being unjustly discriminated against and orders end to foreign aid.

The state department has ordered an immediate pause on most US foreign assistance to South Africa, according to a cable seen by the Guardian, officially implementing a contentious executive order by Donald Trump.

The directive, issued on Thursday, implements Executive Order 14204 targeting what the administration called “egregious actions” by South Africa. It orders all state department entities to immediately suspend aid disbursements, with minimal exceptions.

The order specifically cites “unjust racial discrimination” against white Afrikaners – descendants of Dutch colonizers who implemented the segregationist regime that denied basic rights to the Black majority until 1994.

The South African-born billionaire Elon Musk, a Trump super-ally who heads the administration’s government efficiency team and has condemned his homeland for “openly racist policies”, is widely seen as influencing the administration’s stance toward a country where white South Africans, just 7% of the population, still disproportionately control most wealth and land.

Trump has also criticized South Africa’s leading role in its genocide case against Israel at the international court of justice, while also offering refugee status to wealthy white Afrikaners who wanted to relocate to the United States, further incensing the country.

Coli told us foreigners to be quiet when the elections were going on that it doesn't affect us
I just realized USA gives aid to over 170 countries.

Nah, China would pick up the slack :blessed:

The thing is the help is not free, thats how the US mantains allies and keeps Russian/chinese influence on check, they could always use force but that never ends well.
