Threats to America
(Washington Times) Clifford D. May - "Existential threat" is a term that has been most commonly used in recent years about Israel, a nation-state that Islamists aim to exterminate. As Iran's rulers have noted, the detonation of just one nuclear weapon on Israeli soil could be the quickest means to achieve that goal. The United States, being bigger and stronger, is obviously more resilient. But a nuclear attack, an EMP attack, a biological attack or even a series of attacks of the sort that took place in San Bernardino would profoundly transform America.
