Re: Top Ten Nations in Terms of Land Combat Power
As far as I understand it, you just need to think in terms of four categories:
1) US - The global military hegemon.
2) China - Military monster, albeit still way behind #1, that is hemmed in by the US strategically.
3) S. Korea, N. Korea, Taiwan, India, Russia, Turkey, Israel, Pakistan, and several more - countries that have been investing in armed forces in order to achieve or defend dominant positions in local theaters. They have zero chance against numbers 1 and 2, are much stronger than 4, and often are trying to balance against each other.
4) Everybody else - Trusting that nobody will attack them and that, if they get attacked, great powers are coming to the rescue.
