Depends on the criteria you use to measure against but I will go with China in fact I am not so sure I would rate the UK in the top 5 nations any longer. Simple fact of the matter is that China has the population and economy to reach the number one spot in a few years (20-50) if they play their cards right then it will be interesting to see who fills the number two spot, there is a lot discussion about India and even Brazil.

China has a lot of people, a lot of area, and a lot of natural resources.
Russia has a a lot of area, a lot of natural resources, and more than a few people when it comes to population of nations of the World.

China lacks global reach with her Military Forces at the present time, transport to the battlefield being China's main shortfall.

I feel that you have a good point there Gator, logistics are always going to be a bit of a problem when using their infantry.

I would be going China, she is keeping to quiet for my liking, and I think has much than she allows the rest of the world to know.

I also think she is the biggest threat out side the ME.
