Biggest concern in America right now?

So guys,

out of all the things happening within the country right now, whether it be the economy, military, foreign policy/foreign affairs and wars to gas prices or college prices or anything really.

What is it right now that concerns you the most in America and what would you suggest to be done about it?

[quote=dbenbaruk]I heard about the shooting. I hope no one says the shooter's name though. The shooter probably had a crappy life and wanted his final act before he went something that would have people muttering his name for years to come that way his loser life wasn't all for nothing. So I hope that nobody, including the media doesn't say his name and give him the spotlight or credit that he probably sought after.[/quote]

i forgot his name already. thats how much i care

The shooter has been identified.

I feel like gun laws, and foreign policy are the biggest issues right now. It's heartbreaking to watch the news and see all these reports of the Europe refugee crisis and everything else going on in Africa and everywhere else..

[quote=spireweb]probably gun laws, there was a shooting at a community college at Oregon today, also maybe the war going on in Ukraine I know its not a huge deal but America did cut off trade with Russia[/quote]

Moral dualism. People rallying on one side, forming groups, turning into hiveminds against each other. Mostly Democrats vs. Republicans, but this happens everywhere.

@dbenbaruk: it makes sense for north africa to be a suspect since libya has never recovered from its arab spring. either way, all i know is that the whole region is a bomb. i mean, russia is already directly involved in syria through air strikes with china sending military advisors to syria.

yeah ukraine will never get crimea back because the whole ordeal will be painful. i did read about the block countries receiving help from the US. i recall poland being extremely vocal about russian aggression.

Russia's bombing the hell out of CIA trained rebels. I don't see America doing anything besides complain. America is the most undependable partner in the world!

[quote=nindow]@dbenbaruk: yeah. the whole syria and the middle east fiasco is enough to cause a headache. even though africa has largely been ignored by the mass media, the wars are still going on down there. mexico is also a big mess along with el salvador. then there's china trying to hog all of the resources in the area. and ukraine is most likely never going to get back the crimea region.[/quote]

It's actually funny that you mention Africa, because although it's not often talked about through the media, my battalion commander just last month was giving us a speech and he said something along the lines of, " I believe with the way current events are taking place, that the next war front is not the middle east, but along northern Africa(a.k.a where the Arab spring began.)

And with probably nearly 100% certainty it doesn't seem that Ukraine will get back the Crimea region, at least not by themselves. It work require our direct help, but that is a huge mess to get involved in. At the current moment I can tell you that we are training the "block countries"(Estonia, Latvia,Lithunia, and even ukraine forces) and their troops to be able to assault/defend their territory from Russia if need be.
