How was Russia never our threat????This is absurdly bizarre, even for Trump fan boys who have started licking Putin's boots because..well, Trump does.

Or how about their attacks on banks, financial records, etc, etc. again, in order to destroy our financial institutions, and our citizens.
Make no mistake..they are certainly a military threat as well, but it's much easier and cheaper for them to focus their military power on Western Europe and the Middle East, which they are attacking as we speak, while controlling American through cyberspace.
