I prefer that the US fabricates that Cuba invaded them first. It would be a better buildup to Bush possibly getting impeached.
Same reason Cuba supported the MPLA during the Angolan Civil War, I'd imagine. Assisting the USSR backed group there.Why would Cuba do that when the USSR exists?
Magnus Malan (because he's overused as South African dictator), and yes, that was my intention with that. A civil war, eventually resulting in a Soviet backed government.I like this. Also doesn't Botha and someone else in the government die. I can see civil war brewing in South Africa.

I think a proxy war in South Africa would work very well for a shake-up. We could also include what I said about a shoot down over Cuba, and the resulting crisis over Soviet intercepted preliminary reports of an invasion of Cuba.Cuba may assist the USSR with all those events, but it won't be the main sponsor for sure.
Yeah, yeah, of course not. Perhaps, "proxy" wasn't the correct term. Just that the US and Cuba would indirectly fight in the event of South African Civil War, much like the indirect fight in Angola (actually,very indirect, I think the US only provided arms to that, Cuba committed troops on the ground, so it would probably be something like that.Cuba may assist the USSR with all those events, but it won't be the main sponsor for sure.

That works. A scandal to harm Bush's international image.I think a proxy war in South Africa would work very well for a shake-up. We could also include what I said about a shoot down over Cuba, and the resulting crisis over Soviet intercepted preliminary reports of an invasion of Cuba.

I'll do the preliminary stuff, primarily how it begins. I'm not a war expert, so I won't go into its course. I'll leave that to others who know better.I really like this idea. I think it would take South Africa in a direction that isn't seen as often. It'd be interesting to see how the US gets involved there. Who wants to work on this?

December 6th, 1982: The Umkhonto we Sizwe, the armed wing of the ANC, and the South African Communist Party, announce that they will oppose the State of Emergency by any means necessary, and begin to rally the rioting Blacks into a guerrilla force. Their ranks grow as the SADF continues atrocities against the black population
With Malan died, what military or hardline leader could take over as South African Dictator?
Maybe this guy? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andries_Treurnicht
If the climate was right, he could ascend to the Presidency.
