Are we sleepwalking toward catastrophe? Preoccupied with this fall’s election, or simply the day-to-day challenges of making ends meet in increasingly difficult economic circumstances, most Americans are missing some very ominous indicators of serious trouble ahead.

So, it would seem are our intelligence services and national security agencies – perhaps because they’re focused, instead, on Joe Biden’s political opposition, now officially designated  “enemies of the state.”

Historically, however, our nation would be on high-alert if any of the following were occurring – let alone, as now, all of them: The Kremlin is mobilizing its military reserves and explicitly threatening nuclear war; Communist China has massively increased its military capabilities and is adopting a war-footing; North Korea has publicly embraced preemptive nuclear strikes; and Iran will have the Bomb at any moment.

Sorry to disturb, but we ignore such developments at our extreme peril.
