Please list the enemies of America for me?

Question

In the order of threat

And most important why and how did they get to be that ?

Answer 1

There are a lot of responses here, but none of them seem to have actually answered the question. I think the asker wants to understand which foreign countries are enemies of the United States, and why.

It is hard to determine which enemy represents the biggest threat, because there are different categories of threats. There are religious threats, economic threats, geopolitical threats, military threats, etc. Some threats are very complicated because they benefit some Americans while hurting others. For example, the Mexicans pouring across the border take jobs away from unskilled Americans, so they are a threat. But the same Mexicans help businesses and middle-class Americans save money, so they are a benefit.

If you want to know which nation-states the United States should be worried about, they are:

Russia
Iran
North Korea
China
Venezuela
Cuba

The interests of the American government are diametrically opposed to the interests of these nations' governments.

Enemy #1, Russia
The Russians have never accepted their Cold War loss to the Americans. The USA decisively defeated the former USSR economically, without ever firing a shot. As a result, the Soviet Empire disintegrated, leaving its main successor state, Russia, frightened, impoverished, weak, humiliated, and dependent upon its mortal enemy for help. For years, the new democratic Russia was led by an alcoholic old man, Boris (Buy me a Drink) Yeltsin. Yeltsin's Russia was unable to keep control of its former provinces, such as the Ukraine, Kazakhstan, and Estonia. It was unable to defeat a rebellion in a tiny province of illiterate peasants, Chechenya. After Russia withdrew, defeated, from Chechenya, it was in danger of being torn apart into hundreds of pieces as other provinces rebelled.
Today, under the strong leadership of former KGB spy and karate instructor Vladimir Putin, Russia is getting rich and powerful. It is reasserting control over its former provinces and vassals. It is even forcing the European Union and Japan to obey its commands from time to time.
Russia's number one goal is to regain its former role as the 2nd most powerful country in the world. Then, it can attempt to topple the USA from 1st place. George W. Bush is no match for the clever Putin. Bush thinks they are friends.
Putin has spent the last 8 years killing his opponents, reasserting state control over Russia and attempting to weaken or counter American influence in Europe, Central Asia, and the Middle East. Russia has good relations with other recent enemies of the USA such as Serbia and Iran.

Enemy #2, Iran
Since Islamic fundamentalists drove American spies, infidels and oilmen out of Iran in 1979, the two countries have viewed each other with hatred and suspicion. When the Americans failed to keep their puppet, the Shah of Iran, in power, they had to flee to escape punishment at the hands of Iran's new rulers. In 1981, the Americans tried to get revenge by paying Saddam Hussein to attack the Iranians. The resulting 1981-88 Iran-Iraq War left millions dead and cemented the mutual feelings of hatred between the USA and Iran.
Americans have difficulty dealing with Islamic revolutionaries such as the leaders of Iran. It is not all their fault; the fundamentalists see the world differently than the Americans.
The Americans are angry and confused that decades of sanctions against Iran have accomplished nothing. As one of the major oil exporters in the world, Iran does not need the United States as a customer. It is getting rich and powerful by selling oil to everybody else. Iran is arguably the most powerful country in the Middle East, and guess what, it is right beside Iraq.
If the Americans lose Iraq, as it appears they are doing, Iran will inherit the leadership of the Middle East. It will form some kind of alliance with its fellow Shiites in Southern Iraq, where the oil is. It will then control more than half the oil in the world.
As the world's largest oil importer, this is bad news for the USA. Oil is priced in US dollars, all over the world. The dollar has been collapsing since the summer. Other countries are only holding onto dollars so they can buy oil. If Iran controls half the oil, it could demand payment in Euros, or gold, or Rials. The dollar would go into freefall. It would be worthless. There would be a Great Depression.
As if that isn't enough, Iran is starting to build nuclear weapons. It says it is only trying to build power plants. Right. Once it has nukes, it will not have to listen to the Americans, ever, for anything.

Enemy #3, North Korea.
Another country building nuclear weapons. North Korea is officially at war with the USA, and has been since 1950. American soldiers, along with South Koreans, stare with hostility across barbed wire at their North Korean counterparts. North Korea is fond of firing missiles into the ocean off the coast of Japan and kidnapping South Koreans and taking them to North Korea in submarines.
North Korea recently test-fired a missile which is capable of reaching US bases in the Pacific and Alaska. It has a highly trained army of at least 1 million, about 2 times larger than the US army.
Bush II attacked Iraq in 2003, accusing Saddam Hussein of supporting Islamic terrorists. If Bush II had bothered to read Time Magazine or USA Today, he might have learned that while Saddam was also enemies with al Qaeda, and could not have been supporting them, North Korea's Kim Jong-Il was. Kim's regime earns hard currency not only by counterfeiting US dollars and heroin trafficking, but by selling military technology and hardware to the highest bidder. Osama bin Laden has lots of cash, and he has shown an interest in destroying infidels with sophisticated weaponry.

Enemy #4, China
A sleeping giant, the Chinese Panda has awoken and is making a grab for world domination. It is doing so quietly, so as not to attract attention. The Chinese are not stupid. The last thing they want right now is a war or any kind of turbulence which would derail their progress and prosperity. So in public, they smile and help the USA by lending money to the Fed so the greedy Americans can buy cheap Chinese-made plastic consumer goods.
In private, however, the heirs of Mao plot against the gwai lo and dream of the day when Taiwan has been happily rejoined to the motherland and Mandarin is spoken in Peoria.

Enemy #5, Venezuela
There are not many banana republic dictators who have survived a USA-backed coup. Venezuela's Hugo Chavez is a lucky man for having done so. Once he regained control of his country, he vowed to destroy the United States if it was the last thing he ever did.
Distracted by Iraq, the USA is unable to focus effectively on its neighbors in Canada, Latin America, the Caribbean, and South America. Chavez, however, does have the time and the inclination to talk with those countries. He is forming alliances, creating another power center in the Americas, and handing out discount or even free oil to his new friends, such as Raul Castro's Cuba.

Enemy #6, Cuba
While the Cuban people like America and wish to go there, and American people wish to go to Cuba, their respective governments are basically at war.
When Cuban revolutionaries led by Fidel Castro overthrew the USA-backed dictator, Fulgencio Batista in 1959, they made the Americans very angry. They tried to assasssinate "The Bearded One". They funded an ill-fated invasion, The Bay of Pigs. They cut off diplomatic relations. They imposed sanctions. They tried to starve Cuba into submission. It backfired - Cuba sought salvation in the arms of the Soviet Union and allowed its new protector to station nuclear missiles on Cuban soil, pointed at the United States.
Human civilization nearly ended in the early 1960s as a result. We will never be sure how much we owe to the diplomatic skills of JFK. We are only here today because of whatever deal he made with the Soviets to withdraw their missiles. May JFK rest in peace.
Still, Cuba remains in the bad books. They haven't really done anything hostile recently, and they have attempted to make friends, but every president since Johnson has refused even to talk.

These are the enemies of America. The Eagle is wounded, and is being circled by the Russian bear, the mullah, a couple of Latin American generals, the panda, and Kim jong-Il.

If the United States does not soon get a strong, wise leader who has the ability to work with, not against, the rest of the world, it will lose its power over the world. It will become weak and poor. Its enemies will multiply and take what they want.

Answer 2

Democrats, Republicans, Corporate America, and those who ignore how the gap between the high and low income in increasing with the middle almost disappearing. The Democrats won in November 2006 and have backed down from Geroge W Bush. I respect GW Bush only since he has not backed down yet I still say he is the worst US President but has more courage than the Democrats.

Answer 4

Do you really expect an answer that will fit in here or do you needproof? May I humbly make a suggestion to you and every young American who really wants to know this...Please save your money and take a trip outside of the USA and start asking people what they think of us...then as a second thought look at their governments and read their news...Then you will have a much different view of us for the rest of your life!!! You see Just leaving this country(not as a tourist but a traveller) you will meet every kind of attitude and will see for yourself what the rest of the world gets from this country..I did that years ago and it was an eye openner but I would see much more these days because the world has changed so much...When I travelled to Thailand and Nepal and India, Sri Lanka, (and China, Europe and Russia), there were huge dams and projects going on. I was impressed and hopeful just like the people I met who showed me how their own countries were going to be enriched by the electric plants, irrigation schemes etc...I was decieved just as they were and now years later I see the same traps that they were so easily led into...These governments are even poorer, or rather the people are poorer because the huge debts from the world bank or IMF are not easily paid back and the demands by the banks cause great distress on these nations..then the dividing up of resouces and usurption of money for water or the demand that they buy American cigarettes all of these demands by huge companies create havoc...and you should just see for your self...People will talk about what is happening in their countries..They know what is happening for the most part because little changes in poor economies have huge consequences...so who hates us? well, I don't think it is hate as much as anger over the way we let people down because they see America as the democracy with the freedom they want and are usually striving for in their own counties...That is very different from the way you asked this question..because government threat is usually quite diferent fron individual people and the threat they would pose for you as a visitor to their country...That you need to see and feel for yourself.. Even if it is a trip to Mexico it is good to ask and see what is really going on...I was a ****** and the attitude of the government did dictate the way people looked at the Norte Americano but you need to search this out yourself..

Answer 5

I sure am sorry to say I must agree with the first answerer, I have been in the middle east, the far east and south America in the last year and it is hard for me to accept the fact that these people hate Americans so much, when I was there 10 years ago and everyone seemed to adore Americans, but, America has meddled into other peoples internal affairs and bullied the world so much we are despised now, and our unconditional support of Israel has really destroyed our image and it would take many years for us to regain any prestige we have enjoyed in the past,

Answer 6

I agree i think of we are transforming into so focused on our enemies we've missed our very own inner issues, i.e preparation, infrastructure, wealth distribution, etc. Do i think of there'll be a revolution? No. i could be surprised, because of the fact human beings have long previous from actively partaking in government to yelling their comments jointly as doing no longer something. properly suited we now have plenty ability to correctly suited ourselves yet our government is incredibly doing no longer something like infants. all the jointly as China is gathering extensive quantities of wealth, revamping their economy, and modernizing the biggest militia interior the international. This u . s . had a brilliant sort of ability

Answer 7

george bush jr. He did nothing when the US was attacked by terrorist. Osama Bin Laden is still alive. He is the only man to attack the US on it's own soil and get away with it. He attacked Iraq and tried to convince me it was for 9/11. He did though convince many Americans that they are connected. He has divided the US. He has put our country in great debt. The young people of the US will be paying for this war a long time. 5 billion a day is it that is being spent in Iraq. I might be wrong on the amount but not by much. Lastly but not least he has let 4000+ US soldiers get killed in the wrong place. The civil war of Iraq is not worth the blood of US Soldiers. If we leave they might figure out they need to come together or some other country might take them over.

Answer 8

Mad cowboy George Bush Jr. idiotic foreign policy, thinking the U.S. is the global police.
Lets not forget "the new world order" his father started

Answer 9

The Ghost of the Third Communist International. It's alive and well, and, once again, is allied with their Fascist friends, who do their bidding for them.

The other enemies are just dupes of the above two groups.

I'll leave the rest of it up to those few who like to study original history rather than socialist revisionary history.
