Will the United States go to war with one or more of these countries in the next fifteen years?

If so, who is the most likely, and do you think it will happen?

Nope. The era of two or more powers fighting is over. I could see a few small nation-building wars after terrorists, but not against these countries. At this point, fiscal policy and economic activity is more important than the acquisition of resources or land.

I agree with you on fiscal policy overtaking military matters in terms of global importance, but
the first part about the era of two powers fighting one another is a bit too bold and optimistic, at least in my opinion.
