Most powerful country in Europe?

Question

Which is the most powerful country in Europe at the moment?
And why?

Answer 1

Germany is the economic powerhouse - but they are controlled by France. Th UK thinks it's powerful but has been under Zionist control since Cromwell. The Rothschilds run their affairs out of the City of London.
France is now controlled by Zionist Sarkozy.
so the answer: Israel.

Answer 2

Well I`ll bet my money on Germany, as the strongest country in Europe. After having to work of a mighty debt for WW2, the Germans made a comeback. The idiotic french thinks it`s them who are the powerhouse. But truth is that they`re totally bankcrupt.

Answer 3

Ireland

They are getting away with economic murder.
They finally figured out the killing each other over what church they go to was a bad idea and are now one of the most dynamic economies in europe.

They are realizing a robust annual growth of about 10%.

They have a stand alone electric grid powered by peat development. While Ireland is totally dependent on imports for its oil supply, the proportion of primary energy derived from oil has been reduced significantly.

They have basically left themselves out of the european defense umbrella and are getting a pass. Expenditure on the Defence Forces accounts for approximately 1.3% of GNP annually and dropping. Among the lowest in the EU and NATO. They show the flag at some UN peace keeping mission but, lke the Netherlands, avoid combat.

The health system is primarily funded from general taxation and is publicly provided although private health care retains a considerable role. Public health expenditure amounts to IR£2,085 million or 5.9% of GDP.
Approximately one-third of the population opts to take out private health insurance.
Life expectancy is 72.2 years for men and 77.7 years for women. Premature deaths arise mainly from what are often referred to today as "diseases of civilisation". These included cardiovascular disease (heart attacks and strokes) and cancer.

Foreign businesses locate in Ireland to gain access to the European market, but also because Ireland maintains an efficient and transparent foreign investment code and welcomes foreign investment in virtually all sectors of the economy. Today, over 1,200 foreign companies have chosen to locate in Ireland because of its openness to foreign investment and its competitive environment.

UK economist Kevin Gardiner, head of global equity strategy at the investment banking unit of global bank HSBC, in 1994 coined the term Celtic Tiger, comparing Ireland's unexpected economic take-off to the Asian tiger economies

Ireland's economy is 81.3 percent free, according to 2007 assessment, which makes it the world's 7th freest economy. Its overall score is 0.1 percentage point higher than last year, partially reflecting new methodological detail. Ireland is ranked 2nd out of 41 countries in the European region, and its overall score is much higher than the regional average.

Answer 4

America, we are all slaves. I wonder if we would've been better off if the germans had won. At least the Nazi party had alot of respect for english people and tried to model themselves on us.

Answer 5

Russia, by far. They have a very cunning ex-spy for their President, the world's most powerful bomb, and a lot of the West's oil.

Answer 6

UK, they take a real stand for human rights not the paychecks from the rich leaders like the French did under Jock the Rock.

Answer 7

Russia is not part of Europe... it's in the continent of Asia.

Answer 8

The United States.
If they hadn't been there for the last 65 years, the whole continent would be speaking Russian by now.

Answer 9

France. Bad rap and under-rated.

Answer 10

russia, they have no brains but greed
