My father is from Syria, my mother, from Iran. When I was born, we moved to Saudi Arabia and stayed for 5 years. We then moved to Egypt and stayed 2 years. We then moved to Turkey for 6 years. We then moved to France for 2 years. Finally, we moved to USA and stayed here ever since. Neighbors fucking feel bad for us. I say "fuck 'em. They Yankees!"

Iran has a pretty good military you know, it just depends on what you do with it. It all comes down on the tactics. I'm more suprised about Syria in the list...

Easily the United States, followed by China.

My home country, the United Kingdom would be 6th.

Most Iranians and (not sure) Syrians don't hate the US at all... Its just the regular media wich only covers those conservatists.

Don't worry, Japan doesn't even have a military in the first place.

It has a "Self Defense Force."

Japan actually has one of the stronger militaries in the world. Its navy is actually significantly larger than the Royal Navy at this point.

Military strength is mostly derived from economic strength, so it's not that surprising.

There's a reason why they are in the top position.

The military budget is ridiculously high. It's in fact more than the top 14 nations besides the U.S. combined.

And they are maintaining a ridiculously high military budget while currently in debt of trillions of dollars. They will not be able to keep that up for very long and eventually Russia or China will overtake them.

LMFAO Russia? NOPE. China? Most likely. Hell, India has a better chance of overtaking USA in military power than Russia.

The one thing i laugh about, is that the daily mail commentors complain about.

"SOCIALIST OBAMA IS GUNNA WEAKEN US TO BE INVADED BY HIS MUSLIM BUDDAIIIIS!!!!"

Hell, you might complain but at least the American Airborne still trains in Parachuting...

Unlike the British Parachute regiment.

I have a few family members in the British Parachute regiment. What do you mean they do not train? And America is doing a lot of things it cant actually afford.

Weighing the estimated factors of GDP, defense spending, population, and technology just under 50 years from now makes it inaccurate?

Yes actually. Because, as stated here before: It's not as simple as just numbers or a calculation.
