DNI: China & Russia biggest threats to USA

James Clapper, the director of national intelligence, says China & Russia, with their nuclear stockpiles, are the biggest dangers to the United States.

Clapper testified Thursday before the Senate Armed Services Committee, The Washington Times reported. He suggested states such as Iran and North Korea that are trying to achieve nuclear capability are lesser threats than the major nuclear powers.

"We have a treaty, the New START treaty, with the Russians. I guess I would rank them a little lower because we don't have such a treaty with the Chinese," Clapper said when Sen. Joe Manchin III, D-W.Va., asked him to name the country that poses the biggest danger.

China is also believed to be building up its nuclear arsenal.

Pressed by Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich., the committee's chairman, Clapper said he was talking about national capabilities, not whether they are hostile at the moment. He said Russia and China "potentially represent a broad threat."

I don't think either country today has the intent to mortally attack us."

The biggest threat to US is its own citizens who will one day wake up from the Wall Street regime's hypnosis.

Why ever wake them up? I enjoy watching the American kleptocracy run the empire into the ground.

Thankfully Russia's population will be about 60 million by the end of the century and China's capitalist/communist empire will fracture into many countries soon, so no worries

hahahahah lol I think your information is a bit dated. Russia's population started growing from 2009 onwards and their birth rate increases every year while the death rate decreases. Don't believe me, watch this.

So don't dream about Russia being destroyed any time soon

How come Russia is a threat all over again? And why would Chinese commit an economic suicide by attacking USA for no damn reason? Some reports are just too stupid to be even posted here.

Russians could seriously do with about 500 million people. They have the land and the resources for such a huge population in order to fill that mammoth country of theirs.
