    Three countries the U.S. cannot beat in their own backyard: Russia, China and Iran.

    Add: the US could not defeat 2022 Ukraine

    Underestimate Iran At Your Peril

    We would not want to fight China in its own backyard, as that would be a major fight and would take a while (and be very costly) for the U.S. to win. But a fight over the ocean? The U.S. would win that fairly quickly, without a doubt. I would not be surprised to find out that all of China's aircraft carriers were sunk in the first week, if not the first day. It might take another week or two to sink the entire Chinese navy (or confine the vessels to heavily defended ports).

    An interesting article on how European businesses reacted to Trump's tariffs on China: they tried to move in and replace the U.S. companies that were leaving China. The plan was undone when China tried to install four directors from a Chinese state-owned investor company on the British company's board of directors.
