The Intelligence Community's 2025 Annual Threat Assessment (ATA) was just released. It was a "coordinated evaluation of an array of threats to US citizens, the Homeland, and US interests in the world", but it left much to be desired. Here are some of the key issues that they ignored:

An in-depth analysis of the Western failure to understand and address the Iranian threat, comparing it to the historical failure to confront the rise of the Nazis in the 1930s. We examine the geopolitical and strategic dimensions and explore alternative courses of action that could have prevented the strengthening of radical forces in the Middle East.

The Muslim world is notorious for its treatment of its people, particularly women. Their governance has become death cults against their own people, and the accounts of brutality that Muslim governments afflict on their people are legion.

Europe's Christian population is likely to be overwhelmed within the coming decades because of the EU's bad management of its immigrants. What can be done to save European Christians from oblivion?

Negotiating in the international arena is always challenging. But the manner of negotiations take on different character if negotiations are with 'frenemies' or worse.

Many hostile states use trade relations and Western technologies to undermine political stability in democratic nations. A reevaluation of how these relationships are managed is essential. But the real test lies in whether democracies can implement the necessary changes before it's too late.

President Trump has shown a willingness to negotiate a deal with Iran. But Iran is a death cult and negotiations with such a country is bound to fail. We have a better idea:

Why was Israel forced to accept such a bad deal when a much better deal could have been negotiated one month later, aided by the threat of force?

Israel’s unrelenting attacks on Hezbollah and Iranian agents and weapons in Lebanon and Syria, have dramatically changed the character of the Middle East, but there is still much to be done, and it is a job in which America must play a major role. This is what we at Save the West think the US must do....

The year 2025 should be a turning point in the battle of Democracies versus Dictatorships, but only after the extreme chaos of the next six months makes the direction clear. We at Save the West think that this is how it will play out.
