The Middle East:
Syria - troops moving down and in to Lebanon.
Hizbollah - In control of parts of Lebanon
Russian ships in the coastal waters off Lebanon
Iran - supporting Hizbollah
missiles/rockets in the possession of Syria, Hizbollah
Gaza: illegal arms movement from Egypt into Gaza, increased dramatically in last year
West Bank: arms flow into West Bank from Jordan
Iran: Within (at the most) one year from producing a nuclear weapon
Israel - will act against Syria and Iran, and the fallout will be contagious.
Asia/Far East:
China - exerting its military muscle
Thailand - Sitting on a precarious perch from which it could fall to a military coup led by a Muslim general
Pakistan - The government controls less than 90% of the country and in the other 10% tribal chieftains are in control and protect al qaida and bin laden. Any undue exertion of force upon the Pakistani government could cause the masses to follow an ISI led coup placing less than friendly al-qaida supporters in control of a nuclear stockpile.
India: Would act militarily if the government in Pakistan were to fall to al qaida or taliban supporters
Central and South America:
Venezuela - near majority oppose Chavez, while he consolidates his power and becomes the Western hemispheres worst dictator since Castro, anti American in every action taken, spreading chaos and instability in his support and aid to FARQ, which aims to topple the government in Colombia.
Bolivia: Sits on a precipice, could topple either way into chaos and instability, led by drug cartels and terrorists opposed to Colombia and drug eradication efforts.
Ecuador: Another South American country sitting on the edge of a precipice - could go either direction.
Afghanistan - Al Qaida is still a threat in that country.
Iraq - from military dictatorship to chaos to an infant and growing stable country where al qaida is all but vanquished and all sides are coming together. Will need further support and assistance or it could topple the other way.
Russia - tired of being a 3rd rate military power, Russia demonstrated it could still invade and subvert democratic efforts, by invading Georgia, threatening Ukraine and Poland, sending warships to scare Israel - could become a regional concern for the US.
A global economic crisis
Iceland - bankrupt yet being offered loans from Russia (and one must always keep in mind the motivation)
An apparent recession
North Korea - who knows whether Kim is alive or not, but they are reneging on deals made with the US (you recall - the Left demands we negotiate and sit down and talk, which we did - AGAIN, and again they seem to be violating those promises) and resuming nuclear programs.
Into all this, some people think a Senator with a couple years experience, should be elected president. A man who has demonstrated a serious lack of judgment when it comes to world affairs - who believes the answer will be to sit down and negotiate with our enemies and our allies. A man who has no experience in anything - and a world in crisis awaits.
Our allies have no stomach to involve themselves in Thailand, Sudan, Somalia, Kenya, or Taiwan. Our allies can barely stay above water economically and militarily. Every second spent negotiating when these issues boil over will be another 1000 people dead, every minute spent sitting around seeking consensus will see an enemy regime closer to possessing nuclear weapons or greater control of vital interests.
The last time a president with no experience was elected, he nearly started World War III, twice.
