It's a difficult question to answer without risking oversimplification. Certainly Russia has the potential to cause a lot more havoc than random Sunni mercenaries, who only really proliferate as a consequence of the power vacuums that have resulted from incompetent MENA governments and interference from abroad. Although WW3 would be in nobodys interest it could easily happen in a situation when global geopolitics is significantly more tense than now.

I think right now, Islamist terror is more of a threat more from the knock on effects of destabilising countries and the regional spillover that would occur if further countries start to become unable to guarantee citizens security.

Pretty clearly Russia, though both dwarf in comparison to climate change, which is by far the greatest risk to our national security.

I always thought it was just self-parody when liberals said that "climate change" (notice that you don't use "global warming" anymore) is the greatest threat to our national security.

But, the obvious answer is radical Islamic terrorism.

Do you believe the Pentagon is a nest of liberals?

It is a present and long term threat to US world dominance. Therefore, enemy No.1

Enemy? No. Last I heard we are at peace.
Present- Lol, they have no territorial ambitions outside their own backyard, military spending way below ours.
Long term- Low birthrate, slowing economy, headed toward being the next Japan. Is Japan a threat to US dominance?

The only threat posed is that of war which would do tremendous damage to our country and possibly even destroy it, plus earn the enmity of 1.4 billion people.


Your lack of vision is disturbing. That trait is shared by many Democrats.

Fortunately for us, we have Reagan II as our next president.


Well if he's Reagan II, he won't get us into a war. Reagan ended his presidency with positive US-Soviet relations.


Who is talking about a war? Trump is anti-interventionist.


You're still drinking that Kool Aid?
