The US and the rest of the West are not prepared for guerilla warfare deployed by nation states. We've been reorganising our military to face advanced armies equipped with state-of-the-art technology whereas our enemies are not quite advanced. So we find ourselves in a situation where we can deploy a few dozen AT-STs against millions of drunken Ewoks with AK-47s. It's a tricky situation, because we developed weapons and strategies that prioritise surgical hits that minimise civilian losses while the enemies treat people as disposable assets and killing civilians is not a consideration for them. I wouldn't be so cocky if I was Chinese, Russian, Iranian, or Houthi. If the western military switches gears into kill'em all mode all the little shits who want rule the world by terror will find themselves with bigger problems.

Ye the potential resurgence of open genicidial colonial policies is a concern. The good thing about the usual suspects pretending to bomb people for their own good is that there is like a limit on how many weddings they can blow up before they are forced to pull out by other political forces.
