What scale? (small battle, outright war, are there restrictions)

Do they have air support, naval support?

You need to give more then that. You question is meaningless. It's like asking if the hulk or superman would win in a fight.

You're right, I edited it up and fixed it. But Superman would win. I even have the comic book for proof. An issue of Marvel vs. DC.

Nuclear countries first in order of the strength of their nuclear arsenal.
Non-nuclear countries in order of their combat strength.

Is there a point to this?

Rank China and North Korea correctly in that list and you might see what.

My guess from top to bottom is that we're about 8th, probably...

The countries with the largest populations will have the largest standing armies - followed by countries who have to maintain combat like readiness...

I'm not counting our nuclear arsenal because quite frankly, I think it's unusable - the M.A.D. doctrine is a pretty damned solid one.

China
Russia
North Korea
India
Pakistan
South Korea
Turkey
USA
Israel
UK
