North Korea recently threatened targets in the United States with nuclear annihilation, including Washington and San Francisco. It conducted its third nuclear weapon device test in defiance of international law in February. Iran continues to support terrorists attacking U.S. forces throughout the Middle East. Syria has been plagued by a civil war and the Assad regime crossed the President’s red line when it reportedly used chemical weapons on its civilians.
