In a letter this week, a group representing US special operations reportedly warned that President Joe Biden’s failed foreign policy and open border policies pose an extremely high risk of a major Islamic terrorist assault.
The organization, which represents hundreds of Army Rangers and Green Berets, Navy SEALs, Marine Raiders, Air Force Air Commandos, and other special operators, claimed that Biden’s botched withdrawal from Afghanistan was a major contributor to the high threat environment.
Special Operations Association of America (SOAA) Chairman Christopher Miller, who served as Acting Secretary of Defense at the end of President Donald Trump’s first term in office reportedly said in a letter that he was “gravely concerned by the current heightened risk of terrorist attacks against targets inside the United States and both U.S. and allied interests abroad.”
The United States has lost significant intelligence collection capabilities in the region, leaving federal authorities blind and deaf to emerging threats emanating from the region. The creation of new and reestablishment of previous terrorist training camps within Afghanistan has led to successful, deadly attacks by the Islamic State’s regional branch against targets in Iran and Russia and elsewhere, adding further credence to the notion that the U.S. is at risk.” the letter continued.
This risk is compounded by developments in the Middle East and the porous, unsecured southern border through which we have seen numerous instances of individuals on terrorist watchlists and others from adversarial countries attempt to enter the U.S. – and those are the ones we know about only because they were detected. We do not know how many other terrorists are already currently inside the U.S.” it continued.
Several federal departments and agencies have issued similar comments regarding the threats that the United States is currently facing.
