Rubio Will Not Attend G-20 Summit

Well—looks like Secretary of State Marco Rubio has decided he’s not going to waste his time sipping lukewarm espresso and nodding along while global elites lecture the world about “equity” at this year’s G-20 summit. And frankly, who can blame him? South Africa’s government has just greenlit a land seizure bill straight out of a Marxist fever dream, and Rubio isn’t interested in playing along with the charade.

Let’s cut through the diplomatic niceties here. The South African government has been pushing the idea that because most landowners are White, the only way to “correct” history is to start confiscating property. And sure, they promise “just and equitable compensation,” but buried in the fine print is a little clause that says, actually, in some cases, they don’t have to compensate landowners at all. Because nothing screams fairness and justice like stripping people of their legally owned property based on their skin color.

Rubio, in classic fashion, wasted no time calling this out for what it is. His statement was short and sweet: “South Africa is doing very bad things.” And then, just to make sure no one misunderstood, he laid it out—this is about radical leftist ideology, the same globalist nonsense we hear over and over: “solidarity, equality, and sustainability.” In other words, DEI and climate change virtue-signaling wrapped in a bureaucratic bow. Rubio knows exactly what’s happening here. South Africa isn’t alone in this—land redistribution has long been a favorite policy of leftist regimes, from Zimbabwe to Venezuela, and the results have been catastrophic every single time.

And of course, President Trump had a few things to say about it too. While the mainstream media is busy pretending this isn’t happening, Trump took to Truth Social and called it exactly what it is—a “massive Human Rights VIOLATION.” And because he isn’t one to mince words, he also made it clear that the U.S. won’t be cutting any more checks to South Africa until there’s a full investigation into this mess.

Now, naturally, South African President Cyril Ramaphosa is playing the diplomatic game, acting as if this is all just a “misunderstanding.” He wants to sit down with the Trump administration and chat about it, as if we’re all just confused about the meaning of forcibly taking people’s land. But let’s be honest—what’s there to discuss? The numbers don’t lie. The data shows that South African farmers, both White and Black, are facing increasingly violent attacks. And this is where things get even uglier—because we’re not just talking about land seizures. We’re talking about a situation where commercial farmers in South Africa are six times more likely to be violently attacked than the general population.

But don’t expect the leftist media to cover that little detail. They’re too busy pretending this is all just a necessary step toward “equity.” Funny how the same people who shriek about human rights violations any time the U.S. tries to enforce its own borders suddenly go silent when it’s a left-wing government openly seizing private property.

So, Rubio’s making the right call here. Why should he, or any U.S. official, sit through another round of self-important lectures from a bunch of global bureaucrats who refuse to hold South Africa accountable? The Biden administration may be content to let this slide if they were in charge, but under Trump, the U.S. isn’t playing that game. If South Africa wants to strip people of their land, they can do it without a dime of American taxpayer money.

This isn’t about righting historical wrongs or justice—it’s about power. The South African government is using race as a smokescreen to justify state control over private property. And if history is any indication, this won’t end with just land seizures. It never does. So, while the usual suspects in the globalist crowd will wring their hands over Rubio’s decision to skip the summit, the reality is simple: America’s leaders should be standing up for property rights, not sitting around applauding the latest socialist disaster in the making.
