If you talking MILLITARY, then you missing it altogether. Come 9030, The United States will still be the largest millitary on the planet. In the next 3 milleniums, Japan, China,Russia, France and Italy COMBINED can NEVER reach the might of America talkless of overt...what? C'mon, we talking of a nation that spends an annual over 65 percent of the world milliatry budget alone!! |
Re: What 10 Countries Will Be World Military Powers By 2030? by EVarn(m): 7:40pm On Nov 03, 2014 |
OmoUaSH:while that is possible,it is highly unlikely,you say the US military will be the mightiest on the planet,with almost 65% of the world's defence budget a year,but as the economy of other countries grow,the investment in science and tech increases,the military budget also grows.the US is currently spending such amount on military tech. because they have the biggest and strongest economy in the world,but with economical giants like china and japan rising fast,the US wouldnt enjoy top spot for long. |
Re: What 10 Countries Will Be World Military Powers By 2030? by OmoUSH(m): 8:44pm On Nov 03, 2014 |
EVarn:What are you even saying? No offense bro. I didn't say United States is GOING to be the largest millitary on the planet, with over 65 percent of the world annual millitary budget on their own millitary budget alone, rather i explained that AMERICA ALONE SPEND OVER 65 PERCENT OF THE WHOLE WORLD MILLITARY, AND IT IS IN FACT THE STRONGEST, LARGEST MILLITARY ON EARTH BY MILES! United States is not GOING TO, it has since WW1. So how can you ever expect any nation on earth to measure itself to their status even in the next hundred years, a nation that spends almost all what they have to advance their millitary??!? C'mon! The whole world out of 100 percent annual millitary budget only share like 35 percent while America spends the rest 65 percent!! Can't u read between the lines? Hence my conclusion that even in the next thousands of years Russia, China, Japan, France and Italy COMBINED can NEVER reach the millitary capability or expertise of The United States. Moreover, America is still the world largest economy by far in term of GDP. |
Re: What 10 Countries Will Be World Military Powers By 2030? by EVarn(m): 10:13pm On Nov 03, 2014 |
countries like china,japan,and germany have a GDP thats rising fast enough to meet america's,the US has reached its prime,while others have not even reached half of their potential.during WWII,no one believed germany would loose,under hitler,they were seen as invincible even to the extent that hitler named himself fuhrer,he was even almost made a god that his people worshipped and his enemy feared,yet what happened in the end?,germany collapsed.the great USSR once dominated the world,with powerful leaders like marx,lennin,and stalin,the soviet was 'the kingdom of persia',not even the western europeans dared to invade{until the allied forces was formed},yet in the end,USSR broke and shattered into many tiny insignificant pieces,today only russia hold any semblance of power in eastern europe.the thing is,superpowers rise and fall,no country can hold absolute power for long,its has always been like that since the rise of kingdoms and the spread of civilization.when the US reaches it climax,it must give way. |

Re: What 10 Countries Will Be World Military Powers By 2030? by EVarn(m): 10:33am On Nov 04, 2014 |
Missy89:hmm...brazil hasnt been tested in any serious modern warfare{even nigeria have fought and is still fighting modern armed forces},they do not have nukes,though they have a semblance of military tech.,still will that be enough? |
Re: What 10 Countries Will Be World Military Powers By 2030? by Missy89(f): 11:11am On Nov 04, 2014 |
EVarn: Brazil is the largest economy and biggest military in south America. They are a huge emerging economy. Nukes doesn't necessarily make you a military superpower (Pakistan is an example) and don't even mention Nigeria in the same sentence. They also have a very robust local military industry (one of the few south american countries that produces fighter/utility jets ,helicopters and missiles) |
Re: What 10 Countries Will Be World Military Powers By 2030? by EVarn(m): 11:52am On Nov 04, 2014 |
Missy89:indeed..but my point is that,they havent been tested in any modern warfare,of course you cant compare nigeria with brazil,not yet at least...but many african and middle-eastern countries that have a weaker military force than brazil,still has more experience in modern warfare{thats why i sited nigeria as an example}.france has military numbers,economy,political power,nukes,tech and logistics but they have lost every modern warfare they ever fought! |
Re: What 10 Countries Will Be World Military Powers By 2030? by Missy89(f): 12:07pm On Nov 04, 2014 |
EVarn: What modern warfare are you talking about? Post world war or pre world war? The French military haven't lost any war since Vietnam (and technically, they didn't loose in Vietnam it was more of a political victory for the Vietnamese). They are usually in an alliance since then anyway. Military power is always measured by capabilities.(Military, political and industrial) Not by the numbers of battle won or lost. |

I wouldn't put China as Number one, because they still rely on copied or stolen tech, China is just really good at taking other peoples tech and improving it, they haven't really reached that "innovative stage" yet, they have the largest but not the strongest defence force. 1 Like |

EVarn: That is a bloody lie you pulled out of ur a55. If the french never won any battle, How did their empire got so big? You are picking the battles that happened during the decline of the French Empire. Go and read about "Françafrique" The French policy towards their African colonies changed to a political and diplomatic one after the second world war and It is still in effect. and they still have military bases all over the continent. French troops left Vietnam because they did not get America's support at the latter stages of the conflict (pretty ironic that the Americans will go and die there as well) and the UN was no longer tolerating European imperialism. But yeah they were routed pretty well and disgraced. They Fought and won the Third ,Fourth ,Fifth Coalition wars, Crimean war, Took Algeria, not to talk of IndoChina to name a few. and that's only in the 18th Century. |

Centrifude: Many people tend to equate China's huge population and growing economy to military superiority. They are still the only P5 member never to have conducted an operational patrol with a nuclear missile submarine and have no viable sea based nuclear deterrent. A technology that was mastered by the Americans and the soviets almost 50 years ago. And the only great power never to have built an aircraft carrier. even they Japanese have been deploying these since the 30s |

EVarn: Now it is clear you have no idea what you are talking about There was a French Empire Between 1804-1815, another one between 1852–1870, and the colonial empire in between those (1534–1980) The German Empire between 1871–1918 (disbanded after the first world war) Russian Empire (1721–1917) toppled by the Bolsheviks close the the end of the first world war. |
