Why the Western Hemisphere is Now a Global Security Frontline | Gen. Laura Richardson Explains

Описание: The Western Hemisphere is no longer a distant concern—it is a strategic frontline. From the Panama Canal and the Caribbean to Central and South America, General Laura Richardson warns that global power competition is unfolding right in America’s neighborhood.
China’s expanding footprint—through ports, 5G networks, space facilities, and infrastructure projects—now stretches across key countries, including Argentina, Brazil, and the lithium-rich triangle of Argentina, Bolivia, and Chile.
Russia’s influence, particularly in Cuba, Venezuela, and Nicaragua, adds another layer of risk through military ties and disinformation. With vast reserves of oil, lithium, food, freshwater, and trade routes, this region holds immense global leverage—making what happens here critical to U.S. security and the balance of global power.
