Isn't Our Government Supposed to Protect Us? [View all]

I thought the FBI and CIA and the military would keep us safe from attack against the U.S. from hostile foreign governments.

But they have not. And they are not right now protecting us either.

The attacks on our democracy our current and ongoing.

Can someone explain to me why our government is not keeping us safe from the war being waged against us?
