While America has long prepared for threats from adversaries like China, Russia, and Iran, experts argue that the most significant national security risks aren't just external. The country now faces a growing crisis from within, with cultural erosion and cognitive warfare undermining the very essence of what it means to be American. These issues, combined with foreign disinformation campaigns, have created a perfect storm of internal division, weakening the country’s ability to respond effectively to foreign challenges.
China's approach to cognitive warfare has been particularly effective. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has made significant investments in tools like TikTok and Temu, which are accused of being Trojan horses for espionage and subversion. Through initiatives such as Confucius Classrooms, the CCP seeks to influence young American minds by presenting distorted narratives of Chinese history and politics. Between 2013 and 2023, more than $17 million in CCP funding infiltrated over 140 U.S. school districts, raising concerns about ideological indoctrination under the guise of educational aid.

Equally alarming is Iran’s disinformation campaign. Iranian operatives tied to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) have infiltrated American college campuses, fueling anti-Israel protests and spreading misinformation. The narrative being pushed portrays terrorist organizations like Hamas as victims while painting the U.S. and Israel as aggressors. This disinformation has misled many Americans and further deepened the country’s internal divisions.
Russia, too, has played a key role in exploiting America's internal vulnerabilities. Through cyberattacks and disinformation campaigns, Moscow has worked to weaken the U.S. from within. Russian hackers have been blamed for meddling in U.S. elections, targeting the country's democratic institutions, and amplifying political polarization).

As these foreign powers continue their disinformation efforts, the U.S. risks further losing clarity over its own identity and values.
Compounding these challenges is a crisis in military recruitment. Last year, the U.S. military fell short of its recruitment goals by 41,000 personnel. With the military struggling to meet its recruitment targets, national defense becomes harder to sustain. Experts argue that the lack of strong national identity and values has contributed to this recruitment crisis. As foreign adversaries sow seeds of division, many young Americans no longer feel compelled to serve or defend a country whose values they may no longer recognize.
Moreover, while the U.S. focuses on building military strength to counter external threats, it’s becoming clear that no amount of military hardware can address the internal erosion of American identity. As adversaries undermine the nation's cultural and moral fabric, America risks becoming vulnerable from within.
Beijing, Moscow, and Tehran are united in their goal to weaken the U.S., not just through military means, but by eroding the values that have long made America strong.
This crisis of national identity is one of the greatest security threats America faces today. Without addressing the internal division and cultural confusion, the U.S. will find itself unable to effectively counter external threats. For the U.S. to maintain its global leadership and security, it must first restore its sense of national purpose and unity.
Someone’s making crap up. Any guesses?
The biggest national security threat is our own border.
Those who know will tell you it’s a ticking national security timebomb.
Across the river from Omaha.
LOL
there are internal, and external threats.
the worst ones are the external ones that are now internal.
I remember there was a guy (who was factchecked and deemed incorrect) named Joseph McCarthy who warned about the Communist infiltration.
realistically there were and are many different families, governments, corporations, cults, sociopaths that are present threats to what we believed was the United States we grew up in.
When you hire them for your security agencies, elect them to office, give them PHDs and spread them throughout your science community and programs and research centers, give them promotions to department heads and and even put them in charge of hiring more like themselves and deciding security clearances, what do you expect.
No mention that the country is being flooded with foreigners of unknown origin and intent.
The threat very much is internal, and it’s the Progressive Left’s decades-long to infiltrate and subvert our nation’s basic institutions that is the focus of the threat.
Academia, media, government, and the public sector unions are most of the problem.
Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) have infiltrated American college campuses, fueling anti-Israel protests and spreading misinformation.Yes the borders, but the stupidity of the mush brain college "students" is beyond belief.
One expects our enemies to infiltrate and propagandize.
But for our own students to be so stupid they can't figure out they are being lied to and used to me is a big problem.
Bkmk
