Senior military analyst Lt. Gen. Thomas G. McInerney spoke to Arutz Sheva on Tuesday, warning that rising Russian and Iranian influence, coupled with America’s waning Middle East presence, has put the US in the most dangerous situation it has been in since the 1930s just prior to World War II. …

The General urged the world to wake up to the Iranian nuclear threat, which he fears may be allowed a free hand following deals in the ongoing Geneva conference.

Aside from the Iranian danger, McInerney noted that spreading Russian influence poses a serious threat.

In particular, McInerney highlighted the danger of US President Barack Obama’s handling of longtime US ally Egypt, which has recently turned to Russia. Just on Wednesday, reports revealed that Egypt signed a $4 billion arms deal with Russia designed to let Egypt attain parity with the IDF. …

Prepping got a big boost the night obama was first elected.

Gee, what we need is a modern day Hitler to save us!!! /s

[Joe 6-pack]

Our greatest threat is from within. I’d liken things more to the 1850s than the 1930s, ‘though neither is a bad analogy.

[Olog-hai]

Seems to be a combination of both in some respects. The government in DC never had a fifth column usurping its power like this before; that’s unique in history AFAICS.

Iran only wants 1 nuclear bomb...the Persians are good on their word! (very heavy sarcasm)

[ConorMacNessa]

To me, it looks as much like something out of the Bolsheviks' 1917 playbook.

America demands Justice for the Fallen of Benghazi!

Eagles Up! Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

Yes, and Obama is also unilaterally disarming our military.

To me, it looks as much like something out of the Bolsheviks’ 1917 playbook.

BINGO!!

[Jim from C-Town]

This officer will be forcibly retired by Christmas.

[Vermont Lt]

He is already retired. He is on Fox all of the time.

[Venturer]

Is General McInery serving now or retired.

Cause if he is serving now Obama will fire him within the month.

I'm no fan of Iran, but anyone who points to Iran's nuclear ambitions as a threat to the U.S. is either delusional or disingenuous. If I were to put together a list of the 50 greatest threats to the U.S. today, I'm not sure Iran would make the list.

For that matter, I'm not sure more than 8-10 of them would even be foreign threats.

[Olog-hai]

You’re highly mistaken. Sad that you (and the liberals in DC) are going to have to learn the hard way.

[Alberta's Child]

Right. Are you still trying to figure out why the Bush administration insisted on putting a “missile shield” in Eastern Europe to defend against future attacks from Iran when most of the countries hosting the U.S. military hardware bordered Russia and not Iran? LOL.

[Olog-hai]

That was at the EU’s behest; they’re the ones who have the problem with Russia. Bush was a fool to trust them especially after the big backstabbing over Iraq.

Iran’s still the number one state sponsor of Islamic terrorism and rhetoric does not change that fact.

“When we lose the next war and an American boy is writhing in pain in the mud with a Japanese bayonet in his belly, I want the last words that he spits out in the form of a curse to be not against Douglas MacArthur but against Franklin Roosevelt.”

[Alberta's Child]

I think Saudi Arabia is the number one state sponsor of radical Islamic terrorism -- at least as far as the U.S. is concerned. And the U.S. has spent the better part of the last 25 years toppling some of the most secular Islamic governments all over the Middle East, while the Saudi royal family remains untouched.

Personally, it is becoming more obvious to me by the day that U.S. military policy is being dictated by Saudi oil money -- and it's probably been that way for several decades.

[Olog-hai]

“Saudi oil money” would not encourage Obama to do rapprochement with Iran, their biggest rivals in the region. Quite the opposite.

Iran’s fingerprints are all over just about every act of Islamic terrorism, whether Shi’ite or Sunni.

[Alberta's Child]

Right. I forgot about all the Iranians who hijacked those jets on 9/11.
