[2/2] Furthermore, the ranking I posted was not for military power, you dolt. It was a national power ranking, factoring in population, economics, agriculture, education, energy, socio-politics, international politics, environment, health, infrastructure and technology.
La France et l'Angleterre possèdent un savoir-faire militaire millénaire et une armée surentraîné. Les Etats-Unis croient avoir une armée mais ils n'ont qu'une colonie de vacance pour délinquants.
Some people don't seem to realise that the "best" doesn't mean the biggest or the most powerful. Here's an easy example; the persian empire was the biggest and most powerful empire at the time but the greeks' army was the best between the two belligerents.
@GymmFFreak89 The key is that Hitler didn't go all out against England because Germany had to keep a front with Russia which eventually led to its demise while England resisted well. The kind of opression that the German army did was just too much to win any war over the long term (genocides, gestapo etc...).
@EuropeAboveAll In ww2 What you must remember is that when the rest of europe fell quickly ( without a real fight ) ,From 1939 It was the UK ALONE for 2 years(1941 Usa joined the war), who kept Europe out of Nazi controll, Thus being the battle of Britain... Hitler said himself that he didnt expect the kind of difficulties he got against britain (if britain fell, = No d-day etc)..Germany built up a war machine secretly and sucker puched us.Anyone can put up a fight with the element of surprise
And how much of it is financed by American taxpayers? Japan's Basic Policy for National Defense stipulates the following policies: 1. Maintaining an exclusive defense-oriented policy. 2. To AVOID becoming a major military power that might pose a threat to the world. 3. Refraining from the development of nuclear weapons, and to refuse to allow nuclear weapons inside Japanese territory. (Three Non-Nuclear Principles)
[1/2] Yeah, a country with the fifth-largest defence budget in the world, four helicopter carriers, 37 major surface combatants, 800 main battle tanks, and 353 combat jets hasn't got an army at all, has it? What a tit... Have you even researched into he Japanese military at all? They may be a self-defence force but to say they haven't got an army is downright ludicrous. [Continued...]
@CDRaccoon Im like you i totaly dont know antything about old chinees wars but at Roman ages, AN chinees army was around 500 000 men while the mighty roman empire was around 50 000 soldiers, the great wall just show us the greatness of old china but i thougt it where really big clans foughting against each other, always bigger armys then we've ever seen in europe (till the Napoleon ages)
I just wanted to say, yes the chinese had fought severals even many (big) battles, but they arent recorded to ore History. Only the Hun (azie) would come into ore history and changed everything dramastically
No..... Check the records. Russia is the most mobilised army in the world with 21,000 tanks and with the USA falling back by about 5.000 with 16.000 tanks. Russia with 16.200 ICBMs whilst USA have 9.600 Nuclear Weapons
to be fair, UK should be a bit higher, not because im british my self but because they have the best accurate units ever trained, Portugal sends there army to britain for sniper school and some of USA snipers are being trained by the british, remember being the strongest country dosnt mean your invincible, stragety is the key to victory
"How can a top 10 world military have a [blah blah]". Once again, that's not a question to ask me. That's a question you should put forward to the Atlantic Council who made that ranking. I wasn't arguing with you about Japan being a major military power, I was arguing against your point about Japan having "no army", which is downright false. They have an "army" (military, rather), financed using the fifth-largest defence budget in the world.
Well the french and german army are also very well-trained thats is were the force of Brittain, France and Germany is it arent really big army's like the americans, russians or Chineses but they are very good trained and well equipment soldiers
It's not who has the biggest army wins, who can go anywhere in the world at short notice, strike instantainiously, be trained in modern combat, have the weapons and equipment, have the organisational structure, infantry, marines, SF, intelligence, all these make a difference in order it goes US RUS CHN UK FRA IND GER JAP TUR ISR
@EuropeAboveAll Germanys industry is very good, especially on Armour... most Eu countrys dont care about a big army anymore, you can say the same about the UK, the world knows what kind of standard we can produce if we want a powerfull military ( Largest empire the worlds ever , and will ever, see ) ...
not really it was only the US, the french expelled the americans of france under Charles de Gaulle after the conflict in Egypt and the british had nothing to say there cause you decided it on your own (well in many things the british just followed you)
The dude who made this isn't making it fair. Just be cause he's a Yankee he says hees the bes,never though they are getting beaten by mountain terrorists
The 10 MOST powerful armies of the world according to the ISS: 1)USA 2)RUSSIA 3)CHINA 4)FRANCE 5)UK 6)NORTH KOREA 7)INDIA 8)PAKISTAN 9)SOUTH KOREA 10)ISRAEL
1) im Belgian, my country isnt in the list 2) Russia cant mobilize as much men as China or the USA 3) havent you guys also been defeated by the same mountain terrorists? 4) The USA has more nukes, tanks, aircrafts, men and allies
@EuropeAboveAll Thats great, but like i said you built up a Secret army hell bent on world domination... You imagine if we at that time secretly built up a military with a crazy leader in charge, it would be the same scenario.. anyways enough about the past :-)
were do you get that? wikipedia in russian? dude the american army is the strongest and biggest in the world, only china will be able to have an bigger one in the future. But yes the americans are falling back while Russia is still growing, but not as fast as China, India or Brasil
@turner2123 actually the roman empire was about 300,000...150.000 in the legions and the other 150,000 as auxiliaries. by about 200AD the roman army was about 400,000 strong....god knows where you got 50,000 from.
Ce n'est pas les armées les avec le plus d'effectifs qui devraient être considérées comme les "best" in the world. À titre d'exemple j'ai des copains canadiens qui participent à la simulation CAN-AM tanks battle (USA vs CANADA) et qui finissent bien souvent à faire mordre la poussière aux "Ricains". Le résultat est fort similaire avec les simulations de combats aériens alors que mes compatriotes sont souvent victorieux avec du matériel bien plus vieillissant. Bref, ce palmarès est de la bullshit
@CRISTIANORELAX that was one of the errors the allied made after WW1 but after WW2 Germany didnt have an "real army" it was "occupied" bye the russians and at the other side by americans
@gflsilviu yes of course the roman empire had an half million soldiers, with such an empire ps: but the romans werent that stupid. They couldn't ressemble the hole army to fight in an battle else they would be attacked bye other nations at the other side of the empire
