I have that site bookmarked - they have some interesting stuff, but their metrics are not granular enough.

Ranking Germany No. 10 is a joke - maybe on paper they look good, but their equipment is sparse and in ill-repair and troops have poor training (in general).

At one point the German army was using broomsticks during training exercises because they were so under equipped. And with all the money needed to take care of the Muslim invasion can’t see it getting any better.

Theses rankings can be easily scrambled by the implementation and innovation of existing technologies. For example stealthy hard hitting drones delivered from land, submarines, planes and even cruise missiles and directed by pinpoint locating surveillance systems in space and in the air will make almost all naval surface combatants , large formations of ground armor and even foward bases vulnerable, ineffective and obsolete. The deck is being shuffled and its a totally new reality.

Not surprised they put China first. They’re building ships at 5 times our rate, while we’re arguing whether cross-dressers should be allowed to destroy women’s sports.

Total population: 1,384,688,986
Total military personnel: 2,693,000

Should be:

Total population: 1,384,688,986
Total military personnel: 40% of total population

It's communism. They could simply order all males of a certain age to fight.

Reading between the lines shows large Asian countries being required to expend most of their resources to (actual) national defense (ie., defending their actual borders/territory).

The US is primarily a bloated expeditionary force, in line with the ‘world cop’ role.
