Who do (or should) America fear most?
Russia - the old enemy, heavily-depleted but still a seismic force - or China, a cocky upstart but one flooded with money and will only get stronger and wiser.
Both are huge nations, practically locked down and under total control by undemocratic rulers, and whose people can be drafted up if it's so decreed (and there won't be any option not to be drafted).
And do you see either as being realistic contenders to the ridiculous might (and funding) of the US military.Last edited by BlofeldsCat; 09.20.18 at 08:00 AM.

China. Russia is too weak economically to get its head out its own ass. They have been more or less sidelined to be a political gnat who needlessly complicates the world order under the impression that they are relevant again. Militarily and economically they can't compete with the US, but they can still make our lives miserable if they want to.
China, however, has vast economic resources at their disposal in the form of human capital. They have a billion people and a fast growing military. Their espionage into everything the US does has allowed them to make up ground significantly faster than if they did it on their own, and that includes both military and industrial espionage.
However, that being said, I think the biggest risk facing the US is ourselves. If we flush our economic superiority down the toilet by pursuing proven strategies that will inevitably lead to economic ruin, then it doesn't matter what those other countries are doing. If we lose sight of what made us great in the first place we're doomed to fall like all of the other great Empires of history who thought they were too big to fail.
CNN may think my opinion matters, but you shouldn't.
