Donald Trump’s dramatic intervention in Venezuela has done more than remove a dictator; it has shattered the "multipolar" illusion that Pretoria has relied on for decades.

As the tide turns against the anti-Western alliance, we ask the critical question: Can South Africa afford to keep poking the bear while our economy depends on it? Ideology is expensive—and the bill is coming due.
