Russia
Russia
US
Russia
Japan
Great Britain
India
Russia
China
Russia

Russia
USA
China?
Iran or Iraq, don't remember which, but those who had enough atoms bombs to blow the world up about 24 times(Something like that?) -.-
meh.. xD

According to 2 seconds of google research...
http://www.globalfirepower.com/
It'd be USA, Russia, China, India, UK, Turkey, South Korea, France, Japan, Israel.

I'm not sure how accurate that is but thar ya go. While i'm not 100% sure about Russia, India, and Turkey i'm pretty sure most of those countries are allies in one form or another. The only ones in the top 10 that surprise me are Turkey (I know nothing about Turkey) and South Korea (not the Korea i'd have expected but they are pretty tech savvy so I guess that makes sense). I'm not sure if the JSDF counts as a military force or not but if it does then it's more impressive than i'd have figured it be.

1st: United States of America
2nd: Russia
3rd: China
4th: United Kingdom
5th: India
(see 2nd link below for the rest)
The rest are pretty small comparatively... and the US spends more on its military than like the remaining top 10 combined.

Turkey surprises me also. They must have well trained men.

Turkey makes sense. They have a border with Iran, Iraq and Syria. If I had a border with those 3 nations I would want a powerful military.

Turkey has one of the biggest Army in Europe, thats about it. Good cannon fodder. Not too long ago one of their jets was shot down by Syria....

Well trained my ass.

Japan is stronger than China with their self defense force? Seems legit.

Oh, and the US is the strongest. The only thing Russia has over the US is that they have a lot more nukes.

USA - Technology
Russia - Nukes
China - Manpower

If you put it that way I would too, three dangerous countries that could attack any moment . I guess if they were not strong they would of been evaded

The Top 10 Military Powers In The World 2012

From:http://elitedaily.com/elite/2012/top-10-military-powers-world/

Human nature seems to be centered around the belief that conflict brings about positive change. Why else is it that out of all the years that the human species has inhabited this planet that we have only seen, roughly, 300 years of complete peace.

This is a very depressing statistic. Having the need to constantly shed our brother’s blood only proves that we have yet to evolve into the most superior beings.

This said, countries are required to build armies that will be able to protect them from all the other countries that are looking to take their land and resources. Here is a list of the 10 most powerful armies in the world.

22k fighter jets lol

I also read we have 2000 top of the line abram tanks just sitting in warehouses. America sure loves over compensate

Don't forget that during the cold war they had a long border with the Soviet Union. Plus the Turkish mililtary has been fighting a long counter-insurgency campaign against the PKK (Kurdistan Workers Party) over Kurdish independence.

Is it wrong of me too agree to want a grate war to test who is the strongest, who will team up. who will fall. No nukes just war fair. They should have a game haha all top countries battle it out smaller countries team up to take on the grates. if any of the top military powers fought there would be hell and not much left of a earth.
