Will the United States be militarily challenged abroad in the coming years?

Revised on 1/12/2021

I spoke recently with two ordinary, common Israeli citizens (one of them served in the Israeli Defense Forces), they were both firmly convinced that some country (e.g. China) may well do that in the next 10 years. They cited e.g. overconfidence in their military prowess and complacency on part of the American society. Since I believe the Jewish people with a difficult history of at least 5781 years are like canaries in the coal mine ...

History is replete with examples where once powerful and seemingly unassailable powers were successfully challenged.

With the incoming U.S. president Joseph Biden, who is senile and in mental decline and who might not even last one term, and with internal divisions in the U.S. at a very high level, would this not suggest a good opportunity to test the resolve of the U.S. from the viewpoint of an adversary?
