I might take some heat for this, but I would say we, the United States, is the biggest threat to national security. We have continued to see a growth in homegrown terrorists and we continue to push dividers between the different groups that make up this country. The US was once a melting pot of different cultures but I think we have seen it start to move in the direction of those trays we got in the mess hall where each part of your meal is placed into it's own divided area. This leaves holes that countries like Chine, Russia, and North Korea can exploit. It allows groups like the ISIS to come in and set up areas of influence. Until we come together again as a unified body, we leave these gaps therefore making it easier to crawl over the wire.

I agree that we can do the most to hurt ourselves, but we can also do the most to help ourselves.

I believe the greatest threat is some of our own citizens mainly the younger group who have been brainwash to try to overthrow the government. Yes, other countries is a threat like North Korea, China, Russia, Iran, and many more. But we been getting blindsided by our own the ones we aren't paying attention to their behaviors.
