Kiron Skinner, top Professor of International Relations and Politics at Pepperdine University, discusses the changing tides of US foreign policy, and the unlikely alignment of allies abroad. Skinner discusses how Japan is now poised to increase from "1-2%, of its gross domestic product, towards defense" in the next five years, which would make "Japan the third largest military vendor in the world behind the US and China. This is a seat change.” This huge policy redirection for Japan comes in the wake of China’s continued uptick in aggression in the Indo-Pacific region. Though the foreign policy expert says that the “sleeping giant problem” that faces America right now are the events that have happened in Central and South America with the election in Brazil, recent events in Colombia months ago. Skinner comments, "we have for the first time in our history, a set of neighbors in, in the Western Hemisphere that are largely socialist, almost all of them except Dominican Republic, Guatemala, for the most part, we have a democratically elected socialist regime with Parliament's behind them. We aren't talking about that if there's a failure in the Biden administration to articulate that problem, because they don’t see it as a problem.” Saying, and that opens the door for China and Russia, in the western hemisphere. So we have a, you know, a sleeping giant problem right now. Socialists running basically, the whole region."
