      So… no evidence still? You know you should try to actually prove a point not only demand someone to accept it so such an accusation will work?

        How about an thought exercise? Don’t want? Tough shit, lib.

        Let’s say that hypothetically, the US violently overthrows the Duma Boko presidency of Botswana because he is demanding for the US to halt their drone operations in the Thebephatshwa Airbase (which he has actually stated a month ago), installed a more extremist pro-Western aligned leader along the lines of Gayton McKenzie or similar, began to shift more drones, missiles, F-35s and those 1,000kg bombs into Botswana to sabre-rattle against South Africa and even invite extremist militias from ISIS, Azov, IDF, Pissad, armed the AWB, NAFO, etc.

        The west justifies the overthrow of Botswana under the guise of Botswana suddenly needing “democracy” and as a platform to “punish” South Africa for “reasons”. It also doesn’t take long for the new regime to start terrorising and killing South Africans who are living, studying or trading in Botswana. Obviously the South African government isn’t going to take kindly to Apartheid violence upsurging in a neighbouring country, especially when Western weapons are suddenly flowing into Thebephatshwa, pointing at the Gauteng Province 400 kilometers away. The SANDF is deployed along the border and South Africa immediately sets up red lines and also frequently demands the airbase shut down under threat of war (This was actually a concern in 2019 by the EFF who suggested going to war against Botswana if that airbase wasn’t closed, citing a threat to South Africa’s security as justification. Of course the present relationship between the two countries is generally good and war is not at all likely for the foreseeable future).

        Time passes and Botswana continues to ignore/violate South Africa’s demands. Ultimately the final red line is crossed when a terrorist attack is carried out in Gauteng by a militant group from Botswana, regardless if it was successful or intercepted by authorities. South Africa then declared war against Botswana and moves in, firing rockets, sending in the tanks and the SANDF begins marching into Gaborone. Of course with South Africa no longer being a Western country, there is widespread condemnations from Western governments and media, the racism factory in overdrive and South Africa is sanctioned yet again, much more severely this time around.

        How are you going to react once South Africa goes to war, when all red lines have been crossed in a vain attempt to get a belligirent post-coup government entity to behave? Even as a bigger, stronger nation there are still legitimate security concerns because maybe, just maybe, South Africa doesn’t want the AmeriKKKans or the West in general to point those 1,000kg bombs at every apartment tower in Johannesburg? The situation is exactly the same with regards to Russia and Ukraine over the last 11 years.

        Death to AmeriKKKa, Death to NATO
