None of those nations are military threats to the United States in the sense that they can realistically threaten an invasion or takeover of the United States. Those nations are threats to various interests of ours and some pose economic threats to our position and interests. As the world enters into a new multi-polar reality we need to reassess our views of what a ‘threat’ is. The Pax Americana is coming to an end. Soon we as a nation will recognize that we longer have the resources to impose our will wherever we desire.

And why is it always described as US imposing it's will? Every Democratic govt on the planet shares mostly overlapping interests with every other Democracy. Most work together most of the time.

- syops 6y agoPerhaps you missed this sentence: Those nations are threats to various interests of ours and some pose economic threats to our position and interests. It’s not always described as the U.S. imposing it’s will. The U.S. seeks to impose it’s will often enough and has been successful enough that that using the hyperbole the U.S. imposing it’s will can be forgiven.
