What are the world top ten military powers?

Question

Although russia military budget is smaller that france and germany youd still expect russia to win a war.

I think you have to look at more than just military spending and reginal allies and economic factors are also important


1)America-for at least the next 5 years economy is suffering and voters are getting very active in anit-war

2)england-Strong alliance with USA latest state of teh art equipment well trained and experinced army has over 200years of experieces large military budget but stretched and scotland moving out of union may weaken england will time at top is linked with that of usa

3)China-lacks real experience and has not much experience on fighting could be major threat in future
4)Russia-genral population is poor but living standards are increasing but has old soviet equipment will fight for top spot in future has booming economy
5)Isreal-heavily funded by usa and allies but as usa suffers so will isreal as middle eastern countires unite isereal will suffe

Thanks guys

Many people are putting russia ahead of the uk based on its nukes how many nukes do you need to blow up a country i mean 100 or 10000 not much difference Russia has not made any new nuclear arms since 1987 britian has just renewed trident so i maintain my order Isreal is weak but i said military power not brute force
I mean if france had 1 on 1 with isreal France would win but because of isreal influence it is a bigger force to be reckoned with

Britian does have the second largest military budget in the world and knows the strenghts and weakneses of all ethinic groups in the world it what most 1000yearold + countries have.MI6.Russia was a village till stalin came along and china was war lord state thing.

Britian is a military power on its own maybe not so big

China has the worlds largest army and in 1 2 years could have the best army in the world but for today they are not trained or equiped enought
1)America
2) Britian
3)China
4)Russia
5)isreal

France is on the record by using fact they have he ability of projecting potential globally (they have executed so a pair of events, and are at present in contact in maximum appropriate the UN intervention in the Ivory Coast). India, Turkey, and Pakistan do not. Japan is on the record by using fact they have an rather intense tech tension, designed for self protection basically. If any u . s . a ., like China or North Korea attacked them, they could respond in a enthusiast style.

You must also realise those countries allowing citizens to bear arms. For example, while USA military has personell of about 2 million, there are as many as 80 million citizens who own firearms. They could, on the drop of a dime be the ultimate national defence.

Many countries cannot rely on such an armed and loyal citizen military. Many countries have disarmed populations.

Also,m countries where nearly EVERY citizen has some military training and service such as Israel may be small, but prepared in a superior manner.
