I hate to say it, but US allies could ally themselves with literally every single other country on earth, and still not have the ability to put the US down like a rabid dog. We have the 5 most powerful military organizations on the planet. The best they can hope for is that we have a civil war to depose the dictator, and there isn't too much collateral damage.

I'm curious which war you think the US won last? Won on their own? Not saying their capabilities are not significant and overwhelming, but the finishing the job successfully part has been lacking.

From the US standpoint, they were all successful. "Winning" wasnt the goal, destabilization and installling a "friendly" government has been the goal.

I agree, but I am curious on their opinion. They seem to think 300 million people could take on billions be not destroy themselves and everything else in the process of "winning".

We won the last war we fought: WWII.
