We're in a situation somewhat analogous to being offshore in a small boat and noticing that it has sprung a leak. The mainstream republicans are advocating bailing out the water. Trump says do something to plug the leak first, then bail out the water. Obama and Hillary say widen the hole to let in more water and quit worrying so much.
Not an existential threat? What is wrong with the left? Dirty Bomb and a Nuke plant. When will this leftist insanity stop.

Brothers Ibrahim and Khalid El Bakraoui, who were behind the deadly attacks at the airport and metro station, were reportedly planning a bomb to scatter radioactive material in a populated area. The terrorists had also planted a hidden camera in front of the home of a director at the Belgian nuclear power plant , according to reports. The footage showed the nuclear boss's comings and goings and prompted investigators to conclude the terrorists "could have put national security in danger like never before", the newspaper La Derniere Heure reported.

As a result, 11 Belgian nuclear workers have had their work passes revoked, the Times reports. Belgium's two atomic power plants, a nuclear research facility and a company that makes medical isotopes were under guard by 140 soldiers. Six people have been arrested in connection with the Brussels terror attacks, Belgian prosecutors have said. At least 32 people were killed and 270 injured when suicide bombs ripped through the airport and a Metro station on Tuesday morning.
My concern is biological weapons being launched against the US, possibly killing untold thousands, or even millions. I find that more concerning presently than anything else, including dirty bombs or chemical weapons. Is the term "existential" really important to the threat posed? Perhaps we should be an existential threat in the literary sense to those enemies who would launch such a mass casualty attack against us, and make sure they know it.
Nonsense, I enjoy hearing about them getting killed. Wish I was doing it myself. It's just that many of you are in a panic, you're not the level-headed fighters we need.
we are not in a panic... we can't believe people fear man made co2 when there is no science that it is causing warming yet they want to keep our borders open... allowing terrorists in. Let me go over the real world... What we know... Facts - 1. Terrorist kill and they keep doing it. They can access weapons of Mass destruction. 2. CO2 causes plant to grow. What we don't know..but should 1. How many terrorist per thousand we are letting into our country 2. How to screen all terrorists out of the immigrant pool we are letting in. Speculation... the world is warming outside natural variation man made co2 may be causing some warming. Rational Response Halt all immigration til we can screen out terrorists
Oh look now they are sounding the alarm... as if this is not clear to thinking people. Isn't it time for Obama and his leftist team mates to just leave office and let adults finish the year. Before we have an existential event. http://news.yahoo.com/un-atomic-chief-warns-nuclear-terrorism-134919251.html UN Atomic Chief warns on Nuclear Terrorism. "Terrorism is spreading and the possibility of using nuclear material cannot be excluded," International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) chief Yukiya Amano told AFP in an interview late Thursday. "Member states need to have sustained interest in strengthening nuclear security," he said. "The countries which do not recognise the danger of nuclear terrorism is the biggest problem."
