Description of United States’ security concerns with Russia & China
The United States concerns on matters of security regarding both Russia and China have over the years been a thorn and a chocking problem that cannot be solved. As such, in a document that was released by the Pentagon in 2017, it was made clear that the United States will take a far more different approach when dealing with their security priorities. With this regard, therefore, the threat posed by China and Russia was deemed as more of a priority when compared to the fight against international terrorism. This strategy will see the United States take a different approach in their foreign policy, but the question that lingers is whether the American voters support this initiative. As such, several polls that were conducted during the previous year, made a revelation that the American voters still consider international terrorism a far greater threat above all (Trump, 2017).
List of seven national security threats
Eradicating the rise of Islamic extremism
Safeguarding against “weapons of mass destruction.”
Safeguarding against cyber-terrorism
Strengthening the U.S border
Taking down and dismantling criminal organizations
Counterintelligence
Counter space
This list was drafted based on the threats to national security that the United States is facing today in terms of their level of urgency and priority. As such, dealing with the priorities from the top will provide the U.

S with a good advantage when it comes to dealing with threats that are of less urgency and priority. Also, it will make America much capable of eradicating the rest with much ease as it will be stronger and sufficient in terms of resources.
In conclusion, the resources to be used in dealing with these threats will be done in a method of ratios basing on the level of priority. Therefore, the top threats will give more resources than the rest. This will ensure that they are able to be dealt with in the shortest time possible (Altman, 2018).
