Out of all the countries in the world, which one should we fear the most?

Question

and why?
I believe that we should fear China the most. It practically owns the dollar, as soon as it decides to pull the plug, the dollar value will plummet.

Answer 1

CHINA they will wait 20 years to win . . we look for victory in 4 years. they have nukes , missles thanks to Bill ,technology and human resources.

Answer 2

Truth be told, we should fear Russia the most. Forget Iran, Iraq, China, or even Pakistan. The Cold War may be over the Cool War is developing. Russia has been treating some former Soviet states poorly, in terms of energy sharing, to force some type concession that they need to be closer align with Russia. Not to mention KGB-Putin pulling private companies back into government-owned companies. China has 1.3 billion potential consumers compare to the US's 290 million (300 million - 10 million illegal immigrants). It is evitable that China will eventually overtake the US economy. But China isn't looking to get involved militarily in other far away nation issues. But Russia on the other hand, is looking to broaden its influence.

Together Russia and the US have enough nukes to kill up to 8 billion people. The earth's population is around 6 billion. So you get the point! If a lose nuke is launched at the US from Russia (accidentally or not), the US will have ~15 minutes to decide if we will counter. If we did decide to counter, then Russia would probably counter.

This may sound far off to you. But let me ask you this, why is America trying to build a missile defense system in eastern Europe?

Answer 3

I agree.

Also China has a arsenal of Nuclear Weapons. They can destroy the United States several times over, if they launched an all out Nuclear Attack.

China has more than 2 billion people, so they could easily field a muli-million man army in a conventional war. They also have high tech weapons to deploy during wartime.

Answer 4

Iran. Not because they are a threat, but because Bush and Cheney are determined to get us into a war with them before their term is over. Over this last 6 months all the news stations have just got on board to start repeating the Bush stories about how dangerous Iran is. It seems like they are just prepping us for a war just like in 2002. and I would not be surprised if we invade Iran within 6 months.

Answer 5

U.S.A.!

How many other countries have 750 military bases around the World? All the countries military spending COMBINED doesn't touch the U.S.'s murderous arsenal.

Let the dollar plummet! It will level the playing field a little bit for us hard working people!!!

Answer 6

I think we should fear ourselves the most. The only reason why have countries to fear is that we have been jerks in the last few decades and have seemingly been trying to take over the world. if we stop being the world police then we won't have any problems with other countries, but if make one wrong move and go into Iran or North Korea, we will kill ourselves, and that would suck.

Answer 7

We should fear Al Qaeda.
