Abstract

National Security is ever-changing and evolving. As our nation moves forward in today’s world after the conclusion of the Iraq War and Afghanistan War, and moves into a new modern warfare, our nation must be on alert; searching for the next threat to keep our sovereignty alive and our citizens free and safe. This is especially important when nations who desire to harm our great nation find common interests in others to join forces against the United States of America. While looking at Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa Coalition (BRICS) and what these countries coming together could do to affect national security here in the USA, it can be seen that this coalition has the potential to become a new Axis power which will threaten not only us as a nation, but potentially the world as we know it. We must not only be prepared for what is to come, but also take steps to stop a new Axis power from forming or even prevent it from expanding any further.
