they need real estate to grow food?
Or maybe build more factories and industries so they can let their own country "air out". Whew.
(I suspect you had something more sinister in mind)

I was thinking Africa. There are some very important technology minerals there, and they're important enough that the superpowers might want to start cleaning up that continent in order to guard against shortages. Get rid of the warlords, establish some puppet governments... you know, the usual.

Just imagine the flood of refugees when Venezuela collapses. Yes I believe we will have big issues with Central, south america and Mexico. This is our backyard and we should work with their governments to eradicate crime, poverty and corruption. We should invest in them to build up their infrastructure and teach their citizens skills so they can help to build up their own countries.

I was just thinking that as places around the world dry up as in SK, Afghanistan, maybe EU for military actions/commitments we need a new place to keep the old military industrial complex going and South America seems like a ripe spot to do that. The main thing would be to identify all Drug cartel/lords/criminals as terrorists and then we could pull a Iraq/Afghanistan on countries like El Salvador, Guatemala, and Nicaragua to name a few, and start our "country building" operations.
When we see people swarming into Mexico with the Mexican Government just waving them through across their whole country right up to our borders we have few choices outside of going to their country and removing the threat that is driving them to our borders in the first place.
Thoughts/Concerns?

I'm thinking the US has much invested in Mexico and all of south and central America,the CIA has infiltrated much of it since the 60's,the CIA is the drug lord,these clowns they display are very minimal,and they have the Catholic church helping them,how do you think MS-13 got so big,they are the US hitmen,when they want to infiltrate,they call in their army,war on drugs is a facade
