Columnist Pat Buchanan said that while the White House’s summit on violent extremism didn’t do anything “ISIS is not an existential threat to the United States of America” on Friday’s “McLaughlin Group.”
“I don’t think the summit did a thing, John. But let me say this, ISIS is not an existential threat to the United States of America. If it’s a threat over there, it’s to the Sunni countries, and they’re going to have to man up and deal with it, and provide the troops without whom there’s going to be no victory” he stated.

Maybe so, but it is an existential threat to individual Americans.
Is there such a thing as a Nazi isolationist?
Yes - once a week he declares war on Israel then he refuses to go.
Pat’s either naive or just plain atupid....
Pat’s either naive or just plain stupid....
Why does it have to be. Because an American’s not on American soil when he’s beheaded does that make it ok? Are we ok with burning men in metal cages, burying children alive, beheading, etc. as long as it’s not on our soil?
Sorry Pat, but you’re missing the forest for the trees here.
A consolidation of all territories ISIS is dedicated to gaining control over, gives them the base to expand further.
Add in income streams and weapons that will certainly be purchased, and you’ve got an instant problem. And yes that problem would be an existential threat to the United States, it’s allies, and it’s interests globally.
This is where you draw the line. You do it when the fight can be won easily without massive deaths on the Western Side. If only folks would have woken up to Hitler when he could have been neutered easily.
That’s where we are with Iran too.
Either step up now and do the deed relatively easily, or simply wait until hundreds of millions die.
There’s your choices bud.
as I understand it....ISIS has billions of dollars with which to carry out thier jihad
we ate the BIG Satan..as far as ISIS is concerned
it doesnt take much MATH to see where that puts us!
Pat doesnt want to live in 21st Century
I can’t say I blame him..but we have little choice in the matter
And we want to keep it from ever becoming an “existential threat”.
Some people seem to want to wait until it becomes one.
I’ll go with atupid.
He’s correct that the summit did no good....but wrongo about them not being a threat here.
Hardening of the arteries
Pat's been a big time Jooo hater since forever.
It’s funded by the ME puppet governments, who don’t take a dump without our approval.
It’s our force, causing mayhem, creating a “need” for our political leadership (both parties) to start more military adventures over in that part of the world.
If you look at the UK in the 1800’s, the US government and its controllers are operating in just about exactly the same manner today.
As an aside, Afghanistan still continues to produce most of the world’s heroin under the auspices of the top elite banking families.
Buchanan has to be taken with a grain of salt. If he knew 5% of what he thinks he knows, he’d be one of the most amazing human beings who have lived. I don’t dislike him, but this comment is without merit.
I strongly disagree with Pat Buchanan on this.
Bitter childless anti-Semite crank Buchanan showing some extra crank in his twilight years.
Well i don’t know if this is propganda or not because they do have a unit that seems to be professional BS’ers with social media but there numbers out there floating around that they have between 20,000 to as high as 180,000 members. Personally i don’t think they have that high of a number but if he linked up with the homegrown Muslim factions that are already training here their numbers could get pretty high. We should not take the threat lightly. Obviously It will be necasary to form alliances with other nations or large groups to deal with them.
Pat has spent too much time riding on a horse with only one rocker.
