The latest national poll has crucial lessons for those running for President and a compelling reason for our citizens to know America's history.
The polling data reveals that most of us now view China as the nation considered the biggest national security threat to our nation. The survey suggested that a significant majority believe that China intends to rule the planet by the time this century is over, placing the United States in a decline that mirrors Great Britain's after World War II.
Russian President Vladimir Putin's war on Ukraine has certainly not gone unnoticed. The poll places Russia as "runner up" in our country's appreciation of who or what poses a national security threat. Given Putin's apparent intent to recreate an empire that recalls the days of the Soviet Union – and even Imperial Russia - more than half of Americans questioned believe Putin is capable of launching a nuclear strike on the United States.
