Obama with its latest statement that Russia is the biggest threat to the US seems to be a far cry from what the rest of his country believes. According to a recent Gallup survey, Americans consider international terrorism and not any particular country as the most critical menace for their nation.

In fact, Russia ranks 12 in�the list of�the US threats after�China's military and economic power, refugee influx and global warming.
American adults�were asked�what they saw as�possible threats to�US vital interests over�the next decade and 79 percent agreed that international terrorism possesses a crucial threat.


Iran's nuclear deal�that�� touted as�a victory for�the Obama Administration�� doesn't appear to�have helped ease fears as�Americans still consider nuclear proliferation by�Iran as�the second most dangerous event that could put the country in�turmoil.


Cyberterrorism with�its 73 percent response rate has been named for�the first time in�the list of�threats to�American, surprisingly ranking third.


The global spread of�viruses follow cyberterrorism at�63 percent as�respondents believe that Ebola and�Zika�infectious diseases represent a significant danger for�the US.


The conflict in�Syria is still in�the top five among�menaces for�the US as�58 percent believe that regional conflict could endanger the position of�the country over�the upcoming ten years.
