If
you feel less safe than you did two years ago, there is a good reason. Senior
U.S. intelligence and law enforcement officials testified today that “America
is increasingly less secure under President Joe Biden.”
Peter Brookes published an article in The Daily Signal with a summary of the
remarks given before the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence. Of course, these
highlights as well as his analysis come from the unclassified testimony given
by the director of national intelligence and the directors of the Central
Intelligence Agency (CIA), the Defense Intelligence Agency, the National Security
Agency, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). Are you concerned about
national security yet?
China
The People’s Republic of China, under
President Xi Jinping and the Chinese Communist Party, is a growing problem. It’s
a near-peer competitor of the U.S. and the biggest foreign threat to U.S.
national interests.
China is working to outpace the U.S.
diplomatically, economically, militarily, and technologically….
To this end, “the CCP [Chinese Communist
Party] will work to press Taiwan on unification, undercut U.S. influence, drive
wedges between Washington and its partners, and foster some norms that favor
its authoritarian system” ….
Russia
Everyone is aware of Russia’s year-old,
unjust war on Ukraine and the wide-ranging repercussions of its aggression,
including, as noted in the assessment, the scary possibility of “a military
confrontation between Russia and the West.”
… Russia’s growing, potentially mutually
beneficial relationships with China and Iran are also of concern.
Iran
Tehran is another major threat to American
and international security with its long-standing support of terrorism,
including its hosting in Iran of the new head of al-Qaeda and dogged pursuit of
nuclear weapons….
North Korea
You don’t hear much from the White House
these days about the Kim Jong Un regime and its threat to U.S. interests and to
those of our allies (e.g., Japan and South Korea) and friends, but we should.
According to the intelligence community’s
threat assessment, Kim is “continuing efforts to enhance North Korea’s nuclear
and conventional capabilities targeting the United States and its allies, which
will enable periodic aggressive actions to try to reshape the regional security
environment in his favor.” …
As
noted by Brookes, the above information came from the unclassified portion
of the hearing. The directors shared more information in a closed session. We
will most likely never hear much about what is said in the classified briefing.
However, Brookes recommends that everyone “take the time to watch the hearing and/or
read the testimony. Just
make sure that you’re sitting down.”
I
would like to remind all the Trump haters out there that the United States went
four years without serious threats from any of the four rogue nations listed
above. “Little Rocket Man” from North Korea talked big about attacking the
United States, but he stopped when President Donald Trump reminded him that he
[Trump] had a bigger red button. Then Trump went to North Korea to visit Kim Jong
Un, and we never heard anything more from North Korea while Trump was in
office.
I
would also like to remind Trump haters that Putin invaded other countries
during the George H. Bush administration, the Barack Obama administration, and
the Joe Biden administration. However, Putin behaved during the Trump
administration. Under Trump, the United States went four years without fighting
in any war and even brought military personnel home – although we did make
strategic strikes to take out terrorists. In addition, both Iran and China
behaved themselves during the Trump administration.
I
am proud to say that I did not vote for the clown that currently resides in the
White House. He is now officially the worst President of the United States that
I have known. If you voted for him, you are getting exactly what you voted for.
However, the rest of us are suffering because we have a terrible POTUS for whom
we did not vote!
