Most powerful military in the known world? (Today)

[Roski]

Actually the US has a currently larger active nuclear weapons stockpile.

Off what source are you basing this! Look it up! Top Ten largest Nuclear Weapons Stockpiles! Russia will be at the top!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_states_with_nuclear_weapons

The United States does lead in active nuclear weapons.

[The Sotoan Union]

Name one genuine technological advancement made by the United States alone within the past ten to twenty years! Japan is the most technologically advanced country in the world!

IPod? Stealth bombers?

Name one Japanese invention created without any international help.

Again IPod is not a US invention or advancement. That goes to the company Apple. The advancement of companies, unless they are working for a nations government, cannot be credited to those nations.


Whilst the following article proves one of my theories wrong, it proves another right.

But Japan also has its R and D done by corporations. So by your logic Japan isn't advanced either.

The USSR had corporations design its technology for Christ sake.

America's Nuclear Arsenal is smaller than Russia.

That is a comparison between the US and the USSR which was SOVIET RUSSIA WHICH CEASED TO EXIST AFTER THE COLD WAR! THAT DOES NOT BEAR ON MODERN TIMES! Today it is the Russian Federation not the United Soviet Socialist Republic.

Does it work for the American Government? And how is the IPOD A SIGNIFICANT TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCEMENT!

Railguns. Internet. Email. Laser Weaponry.
U wot m8

America did not invent the Internet. Nor did it invent Laser Weaponry. The actual advancement does not belong to the U.S. but to company's that created them. I'm talking about advancements made by places such as University's, Institutes, Research Labs.

The Internet was invented by Americans. SO were lasers. Universities found the use of laser weaponry, and NASA made the internet.[/quote]


NONE OF THESE WERE ACTUALLY INVENTED OR DESIGNED BY THE UNITED STATES! A technological advancement by a country means that it is not distributed throughout the rest of the world and it was designed and invented by a source in the direct employment of said country's government.

That exact same logic can be applied to Japan. Invalidating your own argument.[/quote]

Did you not see the Link I put up! Japan holds the official title as the world's most technologically advanced country!

Your one link. Completely correct obviously. You misunderstand an incredibly basic concept of economics. Corporations are part of a nation's capital and resources.

Learn how to quote also.

INCORRECT! The United States signed but did not ratify two UN Treaties, the Test Ban on Nuclear Weapons and the Treaty banning the use of Nuclear Weapons. Meaning it's Nuclear Stockpile must remain inactive as since it did not ratify the treaties on its part, Nuclear Weapons are illegal for its use. The nations who signed and ratified the treaty are allowed to keep Active Nuclear Weapons for emergency defensive purposes only.

I was on that website a short while ago, it doesn't prove anything because there is no specific list for the top most powerful countries in the world.

1: Its a significant advancement in culture. Japan is the most technologically advanced, but its corporations do everything, like Nintendo for example
2: NASA works for the US Government. You said in labs and universities. Americans made lasers deadly in a lab in a university.
3: See #1

Different countries, same nukes.

The ipod is a small device that holds hours worth of music. A significant innovation in the field of commercial entertainment.

Then where are their robots? Hmm? I don't know about you, but it looks like they don't have as many drones as the US.

Globalfirepower is actually quite good, they use a wide number of sources to validate their information and they make scores based on a number of things such as manpower, budgets, #'s of equipment etc.

INCORRECT!

See how annoying you sound?
There is no such treaty which outright bans the use of nuclear arms. Having not ratified the Test Ban Treaty (whichever) merely means the US is not obligated to follow its provisions. This does not place its arms in some legal limbo.

Look it up and anytime you search you will see Russia has the most nukes and Japan is the most technologically advanced.

Actually Russia has lost a fair amount of nukes since it has no longer been the USSR, mostly because it no longer has it's Nuclear Submarine Fleet, but it still has the world's largest Nuclear Arsenal.

In a 1v1 hypothetical, I would have to say the USA.

In a Alliance hypothetical many nations would win these being the ones belonging to NATO.

[Marcurix]

While ignoring things like capacity, capability, training, projection capability and actual strength.

For god sake it lists N.Korea as first in Naval strength.

Does he think that America cares? I mean honestly, the guys with the bigger guns win.

The DPRK, based on number of vessels has the largest navy in the world.

Agreed. Quality > Quantity.

[Gotengo]

Actually, and again no offence, I would have to say any Country that has been militarily active longer than the U.S. so any country that has been in wars for more than 300 years. You see I don't look at it so much as technology and budgets, but experience. Countries that have longer military history, they have more experience fighting, they've picked up tricks and tips, developed special tactics for certain situations, I look at it a matter of experience. These countries will know what to do and when to do it.

So my favor would go to countries like Great Britain, Japan, Germany, Russia, China, Turkey, Italy, Spain, Austria, Egypt, Greece, and Israel. No offence to the U.S. but all these countries just have more experience, more knowledge of war, better tactics. Brain over Brawn.

Which is not only grossly incorrect, but inherently misleading.

Never said they weren't, the majority are just short range submarines. Nothing comparable to the USN.

Agreed. I mean a couple French Navy Frigates could sink a whole North Korean Fleet. North Korea should stick to land instead of the sea's.
