First of all, under the attack of western powers,
It's really a pity to talk about South Africa. Originally, South Africa was a nuclear power, and everywhere it went, it was windy. However, South Africa believed the stupid words of the western countries led by the United States. It is estimated that American bosses did not expect South Africa to give up nuclear weapons so easily and reduce a competitor.
However, there was nothing the South African government could do at that time. Western countries, led by the United States, attacked South Africa economically, refused to export South Africa's agriculture or other things, and other countries dared not import them into South Africa. If the United States does this, the economic environment in South Africa will get worse and worse.
Second, western countries have offered conditions for South Africa to give up nuclear weapons.
Seeing that the domestic economy is getting worse and worse under the attack of the United States, the South African government has to bow its head and ask the big brothers such as the United States what to do before it will let South Africa go. The United States and other big shots saw that South Africa finally understood, and said, "Brother, as long as you give up nuclear weapons, you must destroy them all. After South Africa is covered by the United States, we will make up for your economic losses. Please think about it. "
After hearing the conditions of the United States and other big bosses, South Africa considered for a long time and reluctantly agreed, because South Africa knows very well that they are no match for the United States and other big bosses at all, and the final result of confronting them is the destruction of South Africa. For the future of South Africa, it can only choose to give up.
