The Islamic State has grown in numbers,
despite air targeting, expanding beyond Syria and Iraq, establishing
itself in Libya.
Meanwhile, China and Russia are
expanding their strategic nuclear forces with new missile systems, as
reported
to the House Armed Services Committee on global threats. President
Obama has downplayed all of it, especially the Iran nuclear threat.
Indeed, he has included as a national security threat in recent
report to Congress the climate change/global warming phenomenon.
Despite billions of US dollars in
support and training, Iraq and Afghanistan are unable to defend their
countries from ISIL and their coalition terrorist groups.
A combination growing threat is posed
by China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea and critical because Obama
would rather spend tax dollars on foreign aid and broken programs
like Obamacare.
