Um. Terrorism is basically never a threat to national security.
- arthurcolle 5y agoThreats to financial centers and satellite offices of major intelligence offices that are part of the US intelligence apparatus such as in 9/11 are definitely threats to national security. Not sure if you were being sarcastic?
- concordDance 5y agoThat's an outlier as far as terrorism goes. And even 9/11 harmed US power only by causing it to spend trillions in Iraq.
