I don't understand the questions. You can't see how knowing of a SA conspiracy against the US is leverage?
Edit: Things you could do:
- Increase cultural pressure within US SA community
- Increase cultural pressure within US arab community
- Tell SA you are wondering what Israel thinks about this
- Incentivize new cultural narratives (film, books, etc) and redirect special funding to think tanks
- Create a long-term partnership coalition
- Behind the scenes: Find new weak spots in SA
- Behind the scenes: Exploit new weak spots in SA, foment a renewed arab spring, etc.
These are just the tip of the iceberg, there must be thousands more.
The bad things that would happen as a result:
- Reduced SA govt access to power
- Reduced SA govt access to needed resources
- Reduced SA govt image
- Increasing trouble literally anywhere in or with SA.
- jhugo 4y agoIt's only leverage if you can describe the bad thing that would happen to SA if the conspiracy came out. From where I'm standing, the US has more to lose in this situation.
- jhugo 4y agoWhat incentive does the US have to decrease SA power and stability, considering that they one of US's strongest partners in the region? All of the things you list seem like a negative outcome for the US.
