[Even with as disconcerting as some things are getting here in the U.S., I would definitely place my bet on the long term stability of the United States over any small central american nation.]

I think a lot of these people think that the US is collapsing. The bit they don’t understand is that if the US really collapsed, the Pax Americana that kept all these countries from violating each other’s borders (for the same reason that Julius Caesar and Alexander did so, for glory and loot) would come to an abrupt end. The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse would emerge at full gallop around the rest of the world, including in Latin America.

It will probably be replaced by the Pax Sinica.
