"So my response then continues to be what I believe today, which is: Russia's actions are a problem. They don't pose the number one national security threat to the United States. I continue to be much more concerned when it comes to our security with the prospect of a nuclear weapon going off in Manhattan," said Obama.

Its Obama's way odd stepping away from the rising and plain stupid tensions with Russia since the Crimea debacle. I interpret his nuke in Manhattan comment as pure allegory regarding the terrorist threat on home soil.
He is right, in America your biggest threat is yourselves.
after seeing the impact on the financials, I don't think the powers that be would be so willing to try such a stunt.

I am of course referring to the many and varied anti government groups in your country that departments like homeland security were created to monitor.
If you have ever read nostradamus, you will understand that ww3 is not a conventional war with huge armies fighting on a given battlefield. The enemies live within and there are multiple attacks made all over the place aka terrorism. This is what Obama alludes to. As unpopular a he is, he's not completely stupid.

Maybe anti government groups was a poor choice of words on my part. Every country has them btw, don't go thinking you are special in the USA for having such things.
What I meant was groups that seek to destroy our democratic and western way of life such as al qaeda et al

The United States wouldn't exist if there were not "anti-Government" groups. The entire revolting against the King of the largest Empire in the world doesn't happen without that.
Americans do not kiss Government ass. Our Government was created FOR and BY the people. They are public servants, not masters.
