Who out there believes that the USA will one day be attacked?

I know that we are not far removed from 9/11, but I cannot get a nagging thought out of my head. I do not think we will be attacked by Muslims or Al Queda, for that is too obvious. We know where we stand with them as well as the rest of the Western World. With so many ministers talking about peace and safety and God bless America, I am not sure that we are as safe as they think. When I was young, they used to preach about Magog and Gog in prophecy. Now that the churches became multi billion dollar businesses, the message has changed. I personally believe that China and Russia will one day attack us from our borders when we least expect. Does anyone else feels this way? China is on a roll and has tasted financial success like never before in its history. Russia has always struggled. The ONLY nation that stands in the way is the USA. Give me your thoughts. I appreciate it if you could (intelligently) answer the question. Cuss words are not necessary, for I understand English perfectly.

    I feel like Russia is less of a threat. If anything, China would present a problem. I'm young so I don't know all that much...but I know that Walmart isn't helping us have a great relationship with them. I personally hope that sweat-shops will be done away with, and people can work for fair pay. All those imports...

    China won't attack us. Why? Because they're growing too fast. A country can't keep growing forever. There has to be a peak. Then it will go down. There is social unrest in China, the coast is the most prosperous region, while the peasants are getting poorer in the mainland. Besides, China relies on the U.S to buy most of it's goods. If they attacked us, their economy would suddenly plummet. Ours would be effected, but not as much as China's.

    Russia won't attack us because of how fragmented and isolated the people are. They don't have very many people compared with us, and they're spread out throughout the country. Not only that but they're surrounded by nations that are members of NATO, so if Russia attacked us then they'd be ganged up upon.

    It heavily isn't Russia, they have an excellent variety of room to develop interior their very very own u . s ., It heavily isn't China, they want to sell us their junk so they are able to construct their militia to benefit means of their region, China does no longer attack this type of a techniques away aim, plus different motives. The Islamics and the drug cartels of Mexico and demanding us of a are the two greatest threats, Islamics intend to out populate us in our land and take us from the interior or whats left after the flood gates have been opened for the illegals, people do exactly no longer comprehend the Cartels means now and how they are interior the Hispanic communities, this could be an rather severe probability.

    Well, of course the chances are we're going to be attacked by someone, someday.

    We just have to do the best we can to keep that from happening. There's no one, perfect thing that we can do to guarantee that we will never be attacked. Even with the very best efforts that we could POSSIBLY make, you can't stop every single person who wants to make an attempt. There is no way to stop terrorism altogether. Look at Timothy McVeigh...an American citizen, made his own bomb and attacked us within our own borders with no support from any government whatsoever.

    We would stand a good chance at keeping an entire country from declaring war on us...no country wants to go to war. China and Russia don't WANT to go to war with us. War hurts them, too.

    It has happened plenty of times before and there's no reason to think it won't happen again.

    The saddest part to me is that people tend to forget that every attack on a US soldier is an attack on the US itself. So all these people that claim that we were only attacked under Bush/Cheney once seem to forget the THOUSANDS of attacks over the past eight years.

    We are still under attack. The difference is that non-military folks get to live their lives with little or no exposure to the very real and very vicious attacks our military experiences on a daily basis.

    It is already happening from the inside!!!

    Homeland Security is having to put more and more time and resources into tracking christians who seek to tear up the constitution, destroy democracy and foment a second civil war to install a christian dictatorship!!

    A chilling warning was issued to US police forces last year about the threat of a rise in violent right wing and christian extremist groups fueled by recession and hostility over the election of the first black president!!

    Seems these people are not just a bigger threat to American freedoms than external terrorists but completely anti American!!!

    Geopolitics and international warfare are for the president and the Congress to worry about. Elect the best people you can and let them do their job.

    As an inidivudal, I have very little to do with geopolitics. And truth be told the people who run the geopolitical world probably don't even know or care that I exist.

    Sad to say, I'm sure in the future there will be an attack again. There almost was one on Christmas day, Thank God the bomber didn't know what he was doing, and a man on the plane jumped him.

    It's possible. Especially now that we're so preoccupied with Haiti. Who's watching the hen house. America is more hated than many can believe.

    China would be much better off keeping trade relations with the US rather than attacking it
