The definition that person gave wasn't all that different from the dictionary definitions I linked:

Oh...a war against Iran

That war will sink this country militarily and financially. We’d be done.

^^ Correct answer ^^ It took 25 posts to get mentioned but it finally showed up. Good to see that President Trump has "evolved" on this issue, he no longer calls it a hoax, calls it a serious problem. It might be coincidental but maybe it was the destruction of large areas of Australia that got his attention.

There used to be a big difference between the parties, but not so much today, its pretty much business as usual no matter who is in office at any given time, its almost like we already have a 'one world govt' and its just an illusion that its anything less.

No, I understood the question perfectly. Republicans are the enemy of anyone who isn't wealthy, which is most of us

This is a lie, Fascism is left leaning ideology.

If by that you mean poor quality food supply, then yes, I agree that poor quality food supply is the biggest domestic threat.

I would only object to pizza on that list of poor food supply: if you grind your own organic wheat, cultivate your own yeast at home (it's easy), use fresh organic tomatoes, and use other high quality ingredients, homemade pizza in moderate quantities can be very healthy.


In terms of foreign threats, China by far ...


... Russians are pussycats, except when you mess with them too close to the den.

I know some are offended because they dropped a stupid ideology to hide their opportunism which is what all humans pursue in reality, no matter how much they try to deny it, like so many dogs kicking up dirt on feces.

Anyway, in my view, the opportunistic US/Poland/NATO soft invasion of Ukraine around 2013 was a mistake, not as bad a mistake as Iraq, but it has led to no good and never will.

Well, except for the military/industrial complex: on that score, we need the Russians, the Russians need us, like looking in a mirror. A lucrative, if contentious, partnership between sibling rivals. No real complaint.


Anyway, all the best!

The biggest threat is to think there is one big threat with one silver bullet solution. There are so many issues that need addressed. In the U.S. one of the issues is the lack of term limits in Congress, which leads to the ossification we see now. Another is illegal immigration. Another is drug addiction that is the cause of most of the homelessness problems. Another is the confiscation of our education system by left wing nut jobs. Another is, oh well, you get my drift. Or not.
