American term describing powerful rival countries / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Peer adversary and near-peer adversary (as well as peer competitor/near-peer competitor and peer rival/near-peer rival) are terms used predominantly by the United States to refer to non-allied foreign countries with significant military power which might engage in a hostile conflict with the US on close to equal terms. These terms may be used within a framework that contrasts them with the terms peer adversary/rival, rogue state, and/or VEO (violent extremist organization). They are typically used in reference to China and Russia.
