I don't know where you get your facts from but Nord-Korea is simply stronger than South-Korea, and China's ground army is way stronger than the US ground army, so in what way do you even think that Nord-Korea and China wouldn't be able to take South-Korea?
And nobody needs to invade the US;)
Numerical superiority is irrelevant. N. Korea can destroy Soeul because they have a huge amount of artillery within range of the Capital on their side of the DMZ. A strike without warning is quite possible. However after that initial strike the US air superiority becomes a factor and the N. Korean ground forces are eliminated in short order. Any attempt by china to send columns of foot infantry, the bulk of their conventional forces down the Korean pennisula just results in lots of troops being bombed. The only way China or N Korea has to counter the US technological superiority is the use of chemical and nuclear weapons which they won't use since they cannot strike the mainland US and the US can strike back anywhere. This is why China has never crossed the strait of Taiwan.

Pakistan and Afghanistan already sided with Iran, and Pakistan would even go war with Iran becouse of its good relations with China and simply becouse the people in Pakistan are already hating the US.
Pakistan and afghanistan do not actually side with Iran. Both are dependent on US aid and do not like the Iranian mullahs attempts to control the region. The government of Pakistan does not care very much what the people in the tribal areas think of the US.

For Indonesia its simple, they hate Israel, they aren't that close allies of the US, and Iran is their greatest allie in the Mid-East... remember: Iran is NOT an arab state.
Funny how they are quietly sending an Ambassador to Israel

Iran has a navy perfectly build to close the strait of Hormuz, it won't be easy to re-open for the US.
For Egypt its not a matter of doing it since there are only allies of Iran in the area, so they don't even need to close the Suez chanel.
Iran has 3 frigates, 3 corvettes, a couple dozen coastal missile craft, 6 or 8 deep water submarines and a handful of midget subs built to operate in the Persian Gulf exclusively. They have no significant long range strike aircraft or long range cruise missiles.
A single CVBG consists of 1 super carrier with an air wing superior to the entire Iranian military air assets, 2 Aegis cruisers, 2 or 3 Arleigh Burke destroyes and 2 Los Angeles attack submarines. This force alone is sufficient to destroy all of Iran's military assets in the first few days of combat. The US can deploy 10 of these if the need arises.

I think that you really need to find facts that are not based on propaganda;)
If you really think any military, or combination of militaries, can oppose the US then it is you who need to find the facts and not believe propoganda.
