Future Decades : I expect a lot of bad things in the Military field, like challenges from China to USA in Central America ( Nicaragua ), the Southern Caribbean ( Venezuela ) and the Central and South Atlantic ( Azores ? )

.

Those are bad things for the USA and bad for the best and most democratic countries of Latin America.

What is good for the American Economy is good for Defense.

I sincerely believe that Medicaid Expansion is good for the U.S. Economy

I also believe that the U.S. Economy will gain a lot with the Immigration Reform, and all that people that may become citizens and will also defend the American nation.

Look at the growing tide of insults against the USA from Venezuela, Nicaragua, Ecuador, Bolivia, and never forget Cuba ....

They may seem despicable, but there is a growing story of an Arms Race, especially in Venezuela.

Colombia has been approaching NATO ( North Atlantic Treaty Organization ) and has been well received by that Organization, training air operations with them in USA 2012, Canada 2013 and a micro Training with the Canadian Air Force in July, Colombia 2013

But those Latin American nations insulted Colombia, USA and NATO for that friendship and alliance.
