Trust me, the U.S. Americans will manage to feel threatened by Brazil and India as well.
32% of them were polled to feel threatened by Iran, and another of their main worries is about the dysfunctional North Korea. They even feel threatened by some idiot being a loudmouth in starving Somalia!
They will also feel threatened by Russia if it ever has a real manufacturing comeback post-Putin.
Hey, they even invaded tiny Grenada! Grenada! And Panama!


All it takes to become a threat to the U.S. is to not be allied with them and to have an AK and a loud mouth or some correspondence with someone who qualifies as such!

They're certainly no Turks, who feel comfortable in one of the 'hottest' regions on earth.
