Somewhat unwittingly, the U.S. may be acquiring another ally that brings with it more promise of opprobrium than of benefit. Tied to Great Britain through NATO, the United States is indirectly linked to British plans to resume arms sales to the Republic of South Africa. If NATO countries become intricately tied to South Africa, the legitimacy of the alliance will be further weakened especially for Denmark and Norway. More important, British sale of arms to South Africa will once again carry the cold war into tropical Africa, because nothing could do more to increase Chinese and Soviet influence among the black nations in that part of the world.
