March 23 (UPI) -- Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard delivered her annual threat assessment Wednesday and Thursday before the Senate and House Intelligence committees, respectively.
What she presented was not a routine briefing. It was a chilling declaration that the continental United States faces existential threats that have crossed the threshold from theoretical possibility to operational reality.
Speaking on behalf of all 18 U.S. intelligence agencies, Gabbard left no room for ambiguity: The American homeland is no longer a sanctuary.
As someone who has long observed Kim Jong Un's obsession with building nuclear capabilities -- from inside North Korea and beyond -- I can say this assessment is fundamentally different from its predecessors.
