The United States is the most powerful country in the world. The U.S. has maintained this level of power for the past five decades. This is going to change overtime, because this happens to all the great world powers. It happened to the Persian, Greeks, Romans, and the British empires. There are a number of countries like China, Brazil, and India that is trying to replace the U.S. are the world leader. There is a number of path the future may take the United States. The world may be a different place in 2030, in a nonstate world. According to (National Intelligence Council, 2012), “In this world, nonstate actors—nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), multinational businesses, academic institutions, and wealthy individuals—as well as subnational units (megacities, for example), flourish and take the lead in confronting global challenges.” So there need to be examination of the U.S. National Security Strategy (NSS); to see if a nonstate world threatens and challenges there national interest. Threats of Challenges to US Interests In a nonstate world, the United State faces a number of challenges. The NSS explains the United States national interest and what we seek in the world. There are two challenges the U.S may face in the nonstate world of 2030: security and the economy. These two national interest will be affected in a nonstate world. A state takes the lead in attempting to defend the physical security of the population, ensures the economic welfare of its citizens, provides a focus for loyalty and identity, and claims sovereignty (Viotti & Kauppi, 2013). So sharing this with non-state actor will be a challenge in a nonstate world.

So there need to be examination of the U.S. National Security Strategy (NSS); to see if a nonstate world threatens and challenges there national interest. The nonstate world threatens the security and economy of the United State. If the U.S. is able to minimize these threats, then it can prosper for a long time.

The United States has undergone a tremendous change involving drastic and sometimes significant evolvement since the 1st World War until the year we are today 2017. If there is one thing that the United States has never compromised is the matter of National Security, Terrorism and the safety of the Americans. U.S always values peace and prosperity through diplomatic negotiations between its rival nations. After the 2nd World War, the era of the 2nd Cold War was at an alarming state in the U.S. The USSR has a lot of power over the U.S in terms of military deployment in case of war, more power in terms of the weapons they had. The U.S military was not well equipped with the needed resources for combat in case of war eruption.

Examining the now unoccupied position in the Secretary of State, there has been a debate on who will take over the job. On this topic, this paper will include things about: the important job of being Secretary of State, the firing of the recent Secretary of State, Rex Tillerson, and Mike Pompeo, the replacement of the position. Now, there are many responsibilities to being the Secretary of State. One of those responsibilities is ensuring citizen protection in foreign countries (“Duties of the Secretary of State”). This is important for the job for protecting American citizens from the possibly strict laws in another country. Another responsibility for this job is informing citizens about concerns in foreign countries (“Duties of the Secretary of State”). This is important as well is it could affect American citizens being more prepared, the citizens’ safety, and the impact of our economy. An addition to the other responsibilities to Secretary of State is that it negotiates U.S. foreign relations (“Duties of the Secretary of State”). How this is important to the position because it could bring peaceful solutions to potential challenges.

Evaluating threats to America’s national security is a challenge that is undertaken by academics, intelligence analysts, policy-makers, and anyone else with the patience. During the Cold War, America’s biggest concern was easy to define, the only other state capable of competing with America, the Soviet Union. Today, America faces threats from states, non-state actors, domestic groups, and even economic conditions. However, two states should always be kept in mind when discussing national security, China and Russia, with China being the biggest threat.
The United States faces countless threats on both home front and aboard. The countries that pose the greatest threat to U.S. national security are China, Iran, and Russia. Anyone of these countries could inflict grave damage to the United States, resulting in catastrophic results. I’ll compare and contrast these countries 5 intelligence disciplines to determine which country poses the biggest threat to U.S. national security.

Due to its victory in the Cold War, the United States is now the last remaining superpower in the world, and along with that supremacy comes an inherent responsibility. The responsibility of a superpower can be interpreted in two distinctly different ways. One of these is for a country to become semi-isolationist. The other is the opposite, in the sense that it deals with a country imposing its authority on other countries, thus not being in any way isolationist. Both of theses have their benefits while at the same time, their disadvantages.
Prioritizing and clarifying are two of the United States biggest conflicts, encountering great difficulty when attempting to define its national interest. National interest is the establishment of identity and purpose of the country; it is a multi-faceted idea that is made of several ideologies set forth by the country’s most influential leaders and parties. It is assumed to be what is best for the country (Rosati, 2010, p.2). Concerns of economic growth, wealth, military affairs, survival, and security are all integral players in determining what is important in regards to national interest. Power, prosperity, peace, and principles are also elements of important domestic concerns. The idea of national interest can easily be considered vague because of the many issues being weighed however; national interest can be narrowed down into four levels that of which include vital interests, extremely important interests, “just” important interests, and less important or secondary interests; according to a report: The Commission on America's National Interests[1]. The levels are listed in descending order of importance, becoming less significant and less effective on the country and the American people. Even though each level of U.S. national interest holds different levels of importance, they are yet equal in clarity, which helps to sustain a successful American foreign policy, for in order to have an effective foreign policy there must be precise sense of national interest, in other words, the task is to write the vision and make it plain.
