The worst conflict that the US could possible end up, in my opinion, is either a nuclear/conventional war with Russia, in the near future or China, in the far future, triggering a World War 3.
Both Russia and China have large stockpiles of nuclear weapons and have armies that are increasingly becoming *fully* capable of countering the U.S. conventionally in terms of all three factors of manpower, technology and training.
At the moment, Russia has a powerful army (despite the breakup of the Soviet Union) and a large arsenal of nuclear weapons, and just needs some more years before it can take on the US on *all* fields.
China would be the more longer-term threat, as it is still currently developing it's army and nuclear weapons, and it would take a few more decades until it can really match the US conventionally.

China possibly won't grow to be a severe attention for open war for some years, yet North Korea is transforming into to be further and added aggressive in direction of South Korea, so there is an fairly real threat that we are going to finally end up struggling with there quickly ("quickly" meaning interior of right here few years). We already have quite a few jungle practise workouts working on a often happening foundation. "Cobra Gold" in Thailand, "Key verify" and "Foal Eagle" in South Korea, "Balikatan" interior the Phillippines...jungle war is maximum possibly going to be our next theater.

The worst situation is an anti-Islam guerilla war (which is not too far from what we have now).
The idea of going to war with Russia or China is remote at best considering how much we trade with those nations.

I think if China invades Taiwan, like they have been threatening for years and we are dragged into the conflict. Taiwan would fall quickly and we would have to invade a heavily defended island. Also it could spiral into an all out war between us and China

I would say China, there economy is expected to equal the us in about 20 years. The war would probably be over resources (oil).

staying the course in Iraq or getting involved with Iran seem like a tie!

North Korea because of their nuclear weapon and any country that produce it like India, Pakistan, Iran and Russia.
