Heading into 2012 it’s important to know what your biggest security concerns are. We’re not talking about whether or not to go to www.homesecuritysystem.com, we’re specifically referring to national security and who to watch in the coming year. Here are our thoughts:
Iran: Of course, everyone’s still talking about Iran. It’s not a direct threat at the moment but with increased restrictions on the Persian Gulf they’re the country to keep an eye on in 2012.
Cuba: For the first time in decades the US has lifted travel restrictions to a degree for residents looking to go to Cuba. This could be a positive thing for the US but it could lead to increased trouble between two countries with a long and storied past.
North Korea: North Korea’s on everyone’s list and with the recent death of Kim Jong Il it’s yet to be seen how the new leadership will react to the rest of the world. The saga in the East could go one of two ways and it will be interesting to see how the new leadership takes place.
