    Depends on context. If the context is “planning a holiday in El Salvador”, maybe MS-13 is relevant. Beyond being worried about impact on others’ lives, MS-13 is largely irrelevant to Americans and most people that I’ve encountered never heard of them before 2016.

      The death toll from Israel supporting Americans exponentially dwarfs the number of Americans harmed by MS-13.

    Americans should be concerned about Trump and his goons first and foremost - the “homegrown” criminal gang.

    Seriously, had you heard about MS-13 before Trump?

        Threats to the US

        A lapdog isn’t a threat except to reputation, even if they’re not on your side. Same reason North Korea isn’t on the list of threats.

        Even if they have influence, it’s not exactly domestic policy, otherwise you’d have to add the IRA to the list also.

          Israel is deporting American students for excersizing their free speech.

          Israel has more influence than the first amendent.

          Israel is definitely an existential threat to the United States. They are trying their best to get us involved in multiple wars.

          They also have congress and the presidency bought.

          We are basically funding the genocide they are committing. Meanwhile, Israel has universal health care and lots of other social safety nets that American citizens do not.

    the forces task with each risk are entirely separate. the states should police for internal gang activity. the feds should be fucking freaked out over russia just deciding to invade other soverieng nations for zero reason.

    but that was back when the united states had a functioning government. those days are long gone.
