Hi!

Its United States of America as they are the only superpower left now after the disintigration of USSR. Correct me if I am wrong.

As for as I'm concerned, there's almost no fundamental principle to rank the military of a country. I can only give a subjectively general answer that it's USA military, but it's gonna be Chinese one.

Anyway, have a look at some list from sources.

well, the usa have much more atomic weapon than russia nowdays.ussr used to be a leader,but this time is passed. atomic weapon certainly doesn’t play the least important role,besides there appeared quite a lot of ballistic missles,that can substitute the previous ones.:-(and that’s the worst thing-people destroy one weapon and At the same time create another.but to my mind,the power of army is determined by the soldiers’ spirit

Well, leave at that! I think it will lead us nowhere. No one has won a major war to prove it. If I say India liberated Bangaldesh and we did not kept any militery presence after that, we did not even dictated any terms for pull out. After the mission was sucessessful, we just pulled out and a democratic nation was born and it all started and ended in two weeks. Talk about the military might, its how you use it and not in a wrong way that matter. I am sure no one will agree as we are still a developing nation and not a Military force and hope we will never be. Let peace prevail!! Everywhere!!!

United Kingdom

in a WWIII situation the most likely to win are:

1: USA

2: Russia

3: Britain

4: Japan

5: China

Questioning Britain? look at the facts, in 361 years of military history Britain has lost one ONE war. it is america's most powerful ally. always has been, always will be. it won two world wars, defeated spain, france, russia, hong knong, japan, africa, holland, isreal, india, germany, italy. it used to control america and canada, australia and new zealand. while they may have given up their empire they have the best trained military and a nuclear arsenal, SAS, SBS, MI6, MI5. and a military buying power of 2,500,000,000,000. all this with a volunteer army.;)

United Kingdom

Globally: The USA, clearly. No country would go to war with the USA and hope to win.

 

Europe: France and the UK (you choose which one, it isn't definite)

Africa: South Africa?

South America: Colombia I think.

Asia: China (the largest army in the world)

Middle East: Israel
