Most powerful countrey in the world [POLL]

[Breakfloor]

So, who do you think?

i think its out of UK, USSR or USA

[Pat McGroin]

I'd say USA. The USSR hasn't existed since 1991 I don't think.

[xxMATTGxx]

USSR, Is called Russia now. I say USA.

[Breakfloor]

i swear USSR is what russias called now.

oh well, you know what i mean.

[Mentor]

For now the USA, but for the future i think chinas gona come rocketing past.

[Aflux]

UK is not a country.

[Virgin Mary]

USA in terms of economy, warfare etc. USSR was the Soviet Union, it reverted back to Russia as of 1991.

[Corporal]

I deffo wouldnt say germany because there not even allowed a propper army.

[Mr.Sam]

where is china in the poll?

[Breakfloor]

ive reallised i spelt country wrong

and that i didn't think country was powerful enough to be on here.

[Mr.Sam]

France is more powerful than china? :S

[-:Undertaker:-]

Why the hell is the UK on there? China has around 250 Nuclear missles and we only have 180, Russia not the USSR have thousands and so do the United States. Britain is not powerful anymore why don't people see this? France has the same nuclear of Nuclear weapons as us and so do Israeal, Pakistan also possess Nuclear Weapons and so so India who happen to own the same amount as us.

[Scuzzy]

USA because alot of the things they do seem to affect the rest of the world somehow

[Mr.Sam]

china have 2,255,000 active troops we have 187,970 - they could literally poke us to death.
I fail to see how china isn't on there.

There we go, and that is FACT :)On the maths that the USA appears 3 times I think we could have a winner, however which is the most important? Money, Influence, Nuclear or quantity? There's no answer to that other than History :P

[Breakfloor]

but we do have a very very well trained army, air force and navy.

i didnt THINK china was that powerful. if you want some added ill ask a mod to add them.

Oh I don't know about Iran, but they can't be very good as they struggled against Saddam.

Depends on the situtation I suppose, but yeah the USA is at the moment the most powerful country and is the worlds first and formost super power. I have to say I think the British Empire was something to be proud of for us. :)

[Corporal]

china have 2,255,000 active troops we have 187,970 - they could literally poke us to death.
I fail to see how china isn't on there.
aye, but dont forget we are alot smaller.
and in china am i correct in thinking that they still have national service?

[RedStratocas]

how could you possibly skip china? that's like skipping antarctica on a poll of the coldest continent.

[lScottl]

UK is not a country.
why be so fuucking awkward, you know it classed as a country

just shut up

[sierk]

I don't think a country's power should be measured by its army alone. Economical power is more important in the long run. I think China is already more powerful than the US, maybe they could even bankrupt the United States if they want.
Atomic bombs don't help you much when your economy goes bankrupt, I think Ahmadinejad the Iranian president said so much recently, and gave the USSR (which collapsed in 1991) as example.
The only difference I see between China and the US is that China stays pretty much to its own region from a military point of view, and doesn't send its armies to attack other countries, even though they easily could.

[Naruto!]

I voted UK just to be patriotic.

[sierk]

France is more powerful than china? :S

From what I heard the French army is a bit of a joke, it hasn't been modernised and a lot of its helicopters for example don't fly anymore.
I think in Europe Britain is the only country that still has all the three army departments (land, naval and airforce) modernised, well-equipted and fully functional.
Of course they need that to defend these small useless islands they got all over the world :P

USA right now, China, Iran and maybe India are quite up there. Give China some time and they'll be the strongest.

1 The United States of America

The world's biggest economy and by far in terms of spending and power the worlds strongest army, the most powerful democracy, and the media centre of the world, plus in many ways the centre of world diplomacy and foreign relations. This easily makes the USA the worlds most powerful country.

I agree.

Go Japan!Map not to scale? LOL NO **** SHERLOCK.

Where's Russia and how has it decided the world's most powerful countries in that?

[Mentor]

I dont see how russia can really be excluded from the top 10 on the map.

In responce to economic power also, places like the united arab emerates etc have massive powers below the surface, as has been proved in the past, controling the oil suppy does have the very real potentional to bring giants like the US to its knees.

[Neversoft]

Well looking over different websites claiming to know the most powerful countries in the world, they all have different lists. So I doubt any of these are 100% accurate. This guy seems to have the clearest idea. (http://www.insidehoops.com/forum/showpost.php?p=89595&postcount=5)

I voted UK just to be patriotic.

Same :P


china have 2,255,000 active troops we have 187,970 - they could literally poke us to death.


But not really though because America are strong allies of ours :8

As other's have said, the British army still has modernised land, naval and air forced. Also Undertaker said, the British Empire is something to be proud of :p

[Breakfloor]

look, tbh. i didnt think china was that far up. end of. dont like it, ill close the thread.

Britain is also using old planes and we weren't equipped at all for Iraq.

The list I gave shows in all aspects how powerful each country is, America is in most of them so it clearly is the superpower of the world. China still economically isn't bigger than the United States because it's economey doesn't have as muhc affect on the rest of the worlds (see recent headlines with the Credit crunch)
