China is stable enough that I don't think it's them.
So who isn't stable... The list is huge. Who isn't stable and has ability to alter US security in a meaningful way? North Korea? Questionable. Russia? Also questionable. Which sort of leads us to nonstate actors. As much as people think it's played out, in my opinion our largest threat is still terrorism/extremism.

LCDR (Join to see), Sir, thanks for responding. I agree with you. I also believe that terrorism is too unpredicatable to defend even after all of these years and increased security measures put into place by all of our various security agencies.

Well ignoring the damage we're doing to ourselves, I'd say Russia, still, with their still-vast nuclear arsenal, and aged, yet still quite potent military hardware. In my opinion, a non-nuclear direct engagement with China would be over in a matter of days (this statement deliberately not including occupying China), simply because most of their hardware is inferior -- reference their new 'stealth' jet that can hardly turn, or their new 'aircraft carrier' that can't launch anything. They have a very few decent subs, and many more sub-par ones. They're much further from military parity with the US than Russia is, still.
Having said that, a Sino-Russian military alliance against the US would be...very bad. And some nut job lone wolf microbiologist...maybe worst of all.

Someone with Great Knowledge of Cyberwarfare but not too concerned about how the use of it will be viewed. I would say North Korea although I am very aware of the Information Warfare capabilities of ISIS also.
