If their ideals match Russia but they would stab us in the back.

Israel would be pretty high because they have some warriors.

Just the Gurkhas from India.

The Brits because they know how to send off a downed airman. They flew a piano to Cyprus just to burn it and drink around it when we lost the 160th guys a little over a year ago.

Russia at 2 is a surprise but I guess their nuclear arsenal keeps them up there

Apparently there is some crazy underground noise going on here. Turns out, it's just Reagan rolling over in his grave.

Too many people here will forget that if it weren't for the Russians, WW2 might have not went the way it did. Do I like the Soviets? No.

Present day Russia isn't run by the same group who ran the USSR. Too many people can't seen to figure that out.

I’m going with the naval and aerial capacity…

1) USA
2) Russia
3) UK
4) Japan
5) France
6) Spain

Those 6 would dominate all competition. Their strategic positions and ability to make war from a naval perspective could crush everything. China would fold and the rest of the world wouldn’t be able to eat our wake. No aircraft would make it out of enemy airspace airspace

I pick Spain for the naval history and pedigree mainly but they have a very formidable naval force. France’s capability is pretty shocking in terms of subs, missiles, and nuclear powered craft. America’s Navy could split the world in half and let everyone else feast on the other half. Japan & Russia v China (west pacific). UK patrols the N Atlantic & S Atlantic. Spain locks down the Mediterranean & Arabian. Let France run war games in the Indian Ocean. Done

I mean...we fought against the UK, twice. Then they were our Allies

The countries of Europe have fought against and with each other so much it's dizzying

Russia was an ally until they weren't. Why do people expect history and alliances and borders to stay static?2

We’ve been pals with Saudi Arabia for many decades, regardless of what any politician says.

Why the hell did you capitalize Military Rankings and not USA?

Don't answer. Fly to Ukraine, pick up a rifle and head to the front. You can return if you survive and learn to respect the Homeland.

PS your picks suck because no Poland.

Why is Israel ranked ahead of Iran? They can’t beat the Iranians…that’s why they so badly want us to defeat Iran on their behalf

India has nukes and their navy is legit. Also, there would be no serious conflict in interests for the foreseeable future, as long as we didn't lean towards Pakistan so much.

I don't see much of a distinction between Israel and Russia in the year 2025. Thats not to endorse or disavow either one. They both seem generally more aligned with more classic westernism, but also shady and self serving as frick.
