Kind of surprised to see North Korea at the bottom of the list- with all the "sabre-rattling" they do I expected them higher up on the list...

Iran is only 18

Surprised to see Israel so low at Number 11, nice to see the Brits hanging in at no 5, Germany no 7 is a bit of a concern, but as it is still an occupied nation , I guess thinhgs will be Ok for a few more years as with Japan.
Australia is above Libya by the looks of it that is reassuring , we should be able to hold off New Zealand.
Thanks for the thread.

In a WWIII scenario, does #1 and #11 defeat
#2
#3
#4


?

Scary

well they didnt count Nuclear power, if they did israel would be in the top 5. this is based on pure military strength

There is no way Greece has more military might than Canada.

This study was clearly fabricated.

That will never, ever happen. India is one of our close allies. In the event of a world war, its likely they would sit out. Obviously the two powers would be USA vs China. Despite what we believe, Russia and China aren't as buddy-buddy as it seems. They have their disputes as well. If Russia was smart, in the event of World War 3, Russia would sit out, at least until its clear who is going to win the war.

And i believe that would be the United States and its allies, to answer your question finally.

funny how libya isnt even on the list and we consider them a national threat

Well, if it counted broken down helicopters than Canada would be right up there with the US of A.
I suggest new variables in the study

Serious question, where will Iran be on that make if they develop nukes?

You reminded me of the movie Canadian Bacon.

How the hell is India stronger than UK thats impossible lmfao

reply to post by boncho


i think they would still be the same place because its not based on nukes. but if it did they would be high since they would have only 10-20 in a few years while the other countries have a stockpile of hundreds...

india has bigger numbers and a bigger military personal

Even after visiting the site, I still don't have a clue how the rankings work out.. They seem very inaccurate. Australia should be at least around number 10.
