I think that if we read between the lines, we can see the Obama administration mollifying the Brazilian's by probably (I emphasize that this is pure speculation) purchasing Super Tucano's for 3 African nations.
Next flashpoint will be Africa. If you thought the Middle East has been a wild ride, then just wait. IF we end up fighting in Africa then you're going to see stuff that will shock and horrify.
