which country is the USA's biggest enemy? see details?

Question

think out of the box. "terrorists" don't count. and don't use any Middle Eastern countries. that's too nebulous.

think economically if you want, also. i know that it doesn't "seem" like we have any obvious enemies, but who do you think is gunning to push us off the top? to change the balance of power in the world.

food for thought.....india, china, russia, some european conglomerate, venezuela?

don't pick ourselves. gee, you guys are so clever and original. we already have "hardball", and O'Reilly and Rush Limbaugh, and Wolf Blitzer. obviously because of people like you, we already know that cuz Americans bicker more than any other country....why?!!!! cuz we have the freedom to give our opinions openly.

it's like saying "who am i gonna marry?. oh myself". it's dumb. not clever.

enemies...competitors. bottom line is someone else wants some things that we have, and they don't want to share. think gray if it makes you feel better. not black/white. bottom line is most of the world doesn't like that the U.S. is a superpower. so if they're competitors, than choose our biggest.

Answer 1

Militarily... none.. but if the EU were to come together as a military force that would definitely rival our power... China has the people.. but no means to set up a supply chain to effectively challenge us.

Economically... the EU again is doing well at rivaling us.. China is growing fast.. India and Pakistan are on the move... with India considered to be one of the premier expanding future powers... much like the US in the late 1800's

Technologically... pick one.. Japan and China are both moving along very quickly.. the EU is holding it's own.


big thing.. I don't consider competition a qualifier for "enemy".. competition only forces us to become better... nothing negative there so long as we don't view it and make it negative.

Answer 2

I think it's crazy people saying we are our own worst enemy.
If you had allowed terrorists in the equation I would have picked them first but since you want a "country", I would have to say North Korea.

India is our friend. Russia has too many internal problems, China is a trading partner, and Europe is off the list.
Venezuela is more squawk than a threat.

Iran is our biggest concern, outside of N. Korea. It is a persian country, not middle eastern.

Answer 3

I think it would either be Russia or China. China has the most power over there and the biggest economy, but they stay silent about the deals they make with terrorist countries, so they are becoming a danger to us. And Russia because they are in desperate need of a growing economy so they sell nuclear weapons and plans to other countries as well as have their scientist (which are among the best in the world) help develop bio and chemical weapons for other countries..

Answer 4

This is the second variation of this question I've seen in the past day or so.

The answer is mainland China.

Just ask WalMart, Target and K-Mart where they source those wonderful values American consumers grab up.

A capitalist engine that eats our manufacturing jobs and undercuts our independence.

Oh, and don't forget that they are building automobiles as fast as we are. They are in full competition for gasoline which drives up our costs.

Answer 5

that's Easy Mexico in my opinion is our worst enemy, and I believe that is the country we should have invaded, we should expand our borders all the way to cabo! We need the space and then no one needs to come over anywhere there already here! and Mexico is a very wealthy country, you just can't tell because they are also one of the most corrupt.

Answer 6

Though it is not making Huge Headlines, Russia and the U.S. are not seeing eye to eye on a lot of topics.
Unfortuantely, Israel has not been a great ally over the decades even thought the U.S. supports them financially and militarily.

Glad you asked a question that focused away from the middle east and obvious answers that people might try to shoot for.

GREAT LINKS BELOW THAT DISPELL SOME OF THE HYPE CONCERNING U.S. And IRAN face Off.

Countries need reasons to go to war and striking fear into the hearts of it's citizens has been a popular propaganda tool for ages. So right now we are being lead to believe that if Iran is building power plants than it is for the ultimate agenda of building nuclear arms. And we are to assume that they will use them. But think about it, Iran would get obliterated if they ever sent one up. It would be immediate suicide for them as the U.S. has 10,000 + nukes in it's arsenal and Israel even has several even though under the middle east treaty Israel is Not suppose to have any.

Look for example How at the so called “Nut Job” Leader of North Korea. The media talks about what a lunatic the leader of North Korea is. But wait a minute this "nut " has nukes but wait... He hasn't attacked. Of course not, He knows it would be suicide for his country. But he also knows that having one is a great deterrent from anyone invading his country.
When you consider human rights issues The North Korea leader doesn't care..He is a much bigger nut than Ahmadinejad who has actually sought meetings with President Bush only to be denied and kept at more than arms length. Ahmadinejad's diplomacy is making western governments look bad.

But in order to position for the next offensive, we have to continue with name calling, labeling and assumptions of what Iran is "going to do".
So that if we hear it long enough it must be true.

But , naturally it starts to become very easy to see through the smoke screen. Iran’s leader, handled the British Soldier situation in an extremely civil manner on the world stage.
Of course, this was too much for the U.K and U.S. to handle so of course we have to say how horribly treated the soldier’s were and how they were coerced. ..even though the soldier’s are showed snacking out and even smiling shortly after their capture. The soldier’s were very apologetic and suffered no physical harm.

If the soldier's had so much as a bruise, the westerne media would have been displaying images night and day. But instead the U.K. just responded with a story, no documentation. This is all part of the setup to villianize a nation to strike fear in the hearts of the people so the masses think “we have to get them”

Also Ahmadinejad never said that Israel should be wiped off the map either. But yet, that is the story we were told by our controlled media sources. Many scholars who are fluent in farsi attest to the fact that the meaning referrred to a complete change in Israel's administration. see the following link.

http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=viewArticle&code=NOR20070120&articleId=4527

AND GET THIS:
Ahmadinejad visited the United States back in Sept of 2006 and met with a large group of rabbis and yet not one word about the visit on the nightly news.
see image in this link....ask yourself " how could this be ?"

anyway, politicians and governments have to sell the story..."sadaam has weapons of mass destruction" creates fear... Now we have to go get him...But we couldn't find the weapons...

Now it’s time to villianize Iran... to set up the next stage of the operation. I pray not.
Iran needs a good deterrent.

meanwhile,check out this well made documentary discussing the legality of this war.
Great comments by current and retired military personnel. This is important especially for those of us who have served or who are serving and also those of you with children as someday we may see a draft reinstated and we should all be clear on what we are fighting for.

Democrats and Repubs should lay down party politics and get serious about doing the right thing so that the country’s citizens and the country’s soldiers are not put in harms way unnecessarily.Very well made documentary and a little hard to want to face.
