Nah, the US does not have any capable enemies in the entire world. Outspending the next 50 countries buys a lot of superiority. China, if its economy surpasses ours one day, if it decides to waste its money on a massive military complex, if we decide to fight them, may some day in the far future present a problem.

People can go on about how awesome and frightening and hardened N Korea or Iran or whatever is, but the bottom line is the missiles go in on night one, the stealth bombers from night 2 onwards, everyone and their dog from then on till the ground forces decide the pickings are getting too slim and they need to hurry in to still shoot at something while it moves.

The idea that anything on this planet poses a military challenge to the US right now is just laughable.
