On this episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words,” Hanson unpacks South Africa’s racialist policies and its attempt to leverage U.S. generosity while showing open hostility.

“ T his is not the South Africa that we used to know. But it was running on the fumes of Mandelaism. At the United Nations, it’s hostile to the United States. It takes advantage of the free trade agreement to run up a $9 billion surplus….It shows no gratitude. It attacks us.”
