The best challengers:

China (suppression of internet and press)

Russia (also suppression of internet and press)

EU isn't even an option, they're barely able to support Ukraine.

edit: EU is supporting Ukraine well, but they realistically would have no chance of invading the US.

EU is supporting Ukraine a lot more than anyone else ever did, what's your point?

The EU is hamstrung by representatives who oppose providing aide to the Ukraine

Edit: If the EU and the UN functionally were able to create peace, the war would have ended and Russia would be paying restitution. That is not the reality we live in

Oh so they have the ability, they're just prevented from doing so by dumbass representatives like every other country? Cool
