content: I honestly feel Russia is just used for fearmongering as is China and North Korea.  It seems those in Government just like to bring them up if they need a bad guy to point fingers at. Obviously North Korea isn't a threat and many people in China view the US favourably, but its better for them to be the villain and thus help foster an us vs them attitude then for people to point fingers at those in power who 'protect' us from the evil. I wish more people would realise its the ineptiude and constant meddling and hypocrisy of those in power that causes a lot of the threats we face. It can be argued one of the biggest threats is from our own government for example the only biological warfare the US faced was from its own military in the 1950s when it decided to test how a biological attack would affect the United States by testing on its own cities.
