Still I don't understand why South Africa.
Most of world's countries are in sad state, especially africa.
South Africa was unique because it was both successful and messed up at the same time. It could go either up and down. I have the feeling they went down: more messed up than successful today. I don't exactly know what happens there, tho.
The question is: why "nuke" (economically and politically) this particular country and not any other?
- scarmig 14y agoBecause their ruling class was a brutish sibling to the Anglosphere's, and we were giving them massive amounts of economic and military support to dominate and terrorize 90% of their country's population in what was effectively a set of really large concentration camps?
- guard-of-terra 14y agoWell, just stop doing that without going bully on them? You made it bad by supporting them and then made it even worse by cutting support really fast and isolating them. It's amazing how you got the worst outcome possible. Glad they more or less survived it anyway. It could me much worse.
