With the current events going on in today's world, who do you believe our next major enemy will be?

The Russians from my understanding are becoming less fond of us while North Korea threatens the United Sates because of a soon to be playing comedy movie. Maybe the North Koreans have another nation backing them up or they may back up another hostile nation towards us. With the recent events floating about, I do see the possibility of another World War erupting but of course this is simply my opinion. However, I'd like to know, what do you think?

Our enemy is from within. Think about our oath of enlistment. Enemy's both foreign and domestic. Let us not be a nation of complacency.

I believe that we are becoming our own worse enemy. The country is more divided and divisive that I have seen in my lifetime and I only hope that we can once again unite for the greater good of the Nation.

Radical Muslims already living inside the US. In college I wrote extensively on the existence of terrorists within our borders. The average American has no idea what is going on around them, they are complacent and blind.
Fact: Drug cartels were paid thousands of dollars to smuggle Islamic terrorists into America across the southern border.
Fact: Each day somewhere in the world radioactive material in varying quantity goes missing.
Fact: Inside the US there are 35 Muslim compounds, cities within cities or states solely for Muslim people.
I could go on but all I can really say is watch your 6.

You left off Mexico!

Mexico has apologized after a helicopter accidentally crossed into Arizona and fired "warning shots" at Border Patrol agents. No one was injured.

Given the four choices, I would have to go with the middle Eastern melting pot. China and Russia both know that we may as a country be contintious towards each other, and fight amongst ourselves a great deal, but hit us, and we collectively turn and fight... I don't think the Middle East understands that yet, but i am sure, at some point, they will.
Call me crazy, but I have this sense that we are going to be hit again, and its going to lead to yet another war... but probably a lot closer to home... not saying on CONUS, but perhaps in an area where we have no option but to jump in... like Israel... Geeze, talk about Bibical... I do so hope that I'm totaly wrong.

I can't vote for any of the above. All I can say is all of the predators sense a weakness I haven't seen in my lifetime before now.

21 yrs as a Spook tells me that is probably none of the above. Odds are it will be a current ally of convenience. That guy you arm today will probably be the one against you several years from now.

I would have to say that there's a lot of cleaning up in our own nation that we should focus on. Yes, it is true that there are a few places around the globe that we should keep our eye on but I feel like first we should take care of ourselves and our internal problems.

China is the only country backing up N Korea. Human rights violations, business connections in America, etc... What would be the best way to bring a nation to its knees? Fuck with its economy. Nothing is Manufactured in America anymore, out business trends are in bed with China, a known enemy. Our Leadership in DC is leading the charge into this abyss

China, hands down, they are already making a move on the International Trade scene. They treat their people like crap, they do not support any other Asian country, and have no concern for anyone else's money. They are quick to point the finger at someone else when there is an incident, etc... Sooner or later, they will get their hand caught in the cookie jar, and then, it's on

I believe the next major enemy will be Russia, mainly due to recent fall outs and sanctions being placed on Russia. I feel that North Korea is too small of an enemy, because we would most likely face China as the major enemy if we are at war with North Korea. China depends too much on our debt to them, so I believe we would be able to work out a treaty for such a reason. Iran is a threat, but in my eyes not a major focus with other events unfolding in the word today.
