"Who (apart from the obvious players) in the world, let alone Europe, may face a direct territorial challenge in the near future?"

Good question. The South Koreans and the Taiwanese feel a bit more worried about this than we might but then should we be interested in helping them out? Closer to home the Baltic states don't feel especially comfortable at the moment and we do have a legal obligation to come to their defence. On the other hand some would say the Russians are no fools and are not going to directly attack a NATO member.
