Far-right militias pose greatest threat to U.S. national security, experts say

have not gone away, and tremendous resources have been devoted to combating them," Fontaine said."But look at where we are: there are more troops today in Washington, D.C. than in Iraq and Afghanistan combined. That says a lot about where the gravest threats lie right now.

"Far-right groups pose the most significant threat to U.S. national security domestically," Kishi told,"having been responsible for far more violence than foreign threats like Al-Qaeda or ISIS during the period for which ACLED has data." "We find that the vast majority of militias in the U.S. are right-wing, and their activity is widespread and growing," Kishi said."Left-wing militia activity is not as pronounced, and while the specter of 'Antifa' looms large in the public imagination, violent activities associated with this non-centralized movement have been minimal."

She said an intensification of such right-wing activity could be traced directly to the beginning of the"Stop the Steal" movement, the rallying cry of Trump loyalists seeking to overturn the election of President-elect"Pro-Trump and right-wing organizing has changed significantly since the election, and will likely continue to evolve going into the inauguration and initial stages of the Biden administration," Kishi said.

shannonrwatts and have been saying so for years, if not decades.

shannonrwatts They are terrorist groups. Not militants.

shannonrwatts See Michigan Militia, ca 1995.

votevets They have for years. Have killed far more than external terror threats.

votevets Should I be concerned when my Republican neighbors are attempting to discern what my politics are?

votevets They are not militias, they are armed gangs.

votevets it doesn't take a genius to see they aren't well trained. they're only posers. if they try anything again, the joint chiefs made it clear, the full force of the US military would be against them. idc what this 'expert' 🤣😂 has to say.

votevets Duh! This nation should have nipped this in the bud when it first started. Now we have an uphill battle.

What happened in Ukraine came from the US, no doubt about that.

I found this video of dangerous people interesting. Words have power

BS. They failed at the Capital building.

And how many times is this told before?

They are wannabe soldiers.

The right question here is 'A qui profite le crime'? For sur the benefit of the Capitol incident goes to...Democrats 😁

Just like the Iranian militias in the Middle East that you ignored their threats ..

donwinslow No shit.

Impeach, indict , sue, bankrupt Trump! Trump deceived his followers, manipulated them and used them as fools to serve his own interests! and here we have the results! Trump should be held accountable for what he and his gang had provoqued!

We send troops all the way around the world to protect other countries from terrorist organizations, while ignoring the real threat in our own.

What about far-Left?!

Oh, please.

What I don't understand is... If they just figured this out, why are they so slow? If they figured it out a few years ago, why didn't they act?

Election Fraud poses a bigger threat

Get ready for domestic terrorist laws- Patriot Act style. Who wrote that?...

They have for quite some time now, decades actually, but everyone was so busy with Muslims and blacks, they didn't notice. Or willfully blinded themselves to the fact.

amandafclark What about the Chinese are the far right now
