Answer:
That state of the Union Address was given by Franklin D. Roosevelt at a time when the world was embroiled in the Second World War.
Explanation:
Both Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan represented a threat to American secutiry, even if not as direct as the threat they represented to other nations of Europe (in the case of Nazi Germany) or Asian nations like China (in the case of Imperial Japan).
Time would prove Roosevelt right, and the U.S. would enter the war after the attack on Pearl Harbor. The U.S. would go on to become a determinant factor in the allied victory during WWII.
