I think it's time to drop USA as the most powerful country. It's china Russia USA and india?

[Sanjivraj]

People's magazine rated xi jinping as the most powerful followed by putin and USA president and pm Narendra modi. As per data it says. Most powerful millitry in the world is USA Russia china and india. But now putin has clearly proved it. Who is the most powerful

[julesrod98]

What? The questioner confuses American media and Democratic elites - liars, corrupt, cheats, thieves and criminals - with the other 330 million people. 5000+ nuclear weapons, 19 nuclear subs that cannot be tracked, and a military with actual field military experience for 30 years. This post has to be a joke right?

Yes - thanks to leftist unmasculine, feminiized, left-wing traitors, our leadership can fuck up any situation. And China can "probably" win a fight in the Taiwan Straight today since American fire would be spread globally with global responsibilities. But in a straight up fight in Europe, in a nuclear exchange, LOL it's not close. Chinese commanders have to get permission from commanders through communcation platforms that can be disrupted - US field commanders can strike once engaged without command authorization. Study 76 Easterling in Iraq and HR MacMaster's tank battles where he is outnumbered and running low on gas.

And then of course - while it is fetishized to hate Americans from foreign elites and foreign media, just ask what are the Top 20 colleges in the world? 17 are American. Whose popular culture is the most consumed globally? Americans throw away more food each year than most countries produce. Everyone loves their nationlized health care and make fun of America not having national health care - until they need a kidney transplant and then they are flying over here. And who invented all of this medical tech - the MRI machine for example? What we don't invent, we mass produce.

The one sure fire bet that has been lost since 1900 is to bet against America. It is a silly and foolish bet.

[Sanjivraj]

U r literally a fucking joke. With maybe a low iq level. Are u serious? China can hack USA websites in minutes and it's done before. By the time USA takes it's decisions china would have bombed USA. U really need to go to college to develop your intellectual level. USA will be paralyzed if china shuts down supply to USA. China is way far ahead of USA in technology. I think this is why USA is become has the common level of general knowledge is ver low as most end up as waiters or some low paying useless job and then people become ignorant like you

[julesrod98]

I provided facts and data for my argument, you resorted to name calling. All of China's hacking capability comes from stealing those abilities from the US. Nuclear ubs can't be tracked, any nuclear war with the US becomes mutually assure destruction. You apparently watch too much US reality TV and not judging based on data. China has done a great job of stealing the West's talent, and China has an advantage in the western Pacific. But the data does not support that China is the most powerful country. Being evil enough to suppress your people and launch first strikes? Sure. Not as decadent as the West? Not yet. Most powerful - feel free to provide facts

@julesrod98
You are impressive.

@julesrod98
I’d love to chat w you.
If you’d like to too, shoot me a pm.

[Aurora1010]

In economy USA is still way ahead of Russia and still ahead of China and India too but that will change in some decades. So until China becomes the biggest economy, no. USA still has the biggest economy, the world still runs on the dollar,, and best equipped military both, I know of the American blunder in Afghanistan but Russia's invasion of a small country like Ukraine doesn't prove it has the most powerful military either way.
Putin challenged the US by its invasion if that's what you mean, but the West has sanctioned Russia as well... so it's a complex thing for both sides.

[DaveJord]

What are you a Russian Troll! I think the American People will so you who the most powerful country is. In war the only figure that matter is body count, so you ready to play?

Plan on seeing a lot more of this misinformation campaign from Russian Trolls, they just getting scared because Putin just signed them up for the greatest as whooping in their history. Only reason why these Ruskies are not speaking German is because of the United States!!! But most of them speak English anyway these days.

[NamerOfStars]

The USA, doofus. Yes, our leaders don't have dictatorial powers, but that's why our country, and our GOVERNMENT, keeps ticking along while all the others keep falling apart. "Separation of powers"- it's a damn good idea that the rest of you really should be copying. Go ahead- really! We won't mind! We don't like the loonballs who keep shrieking about "cultural appropriation" any more than you do; we only let them chatter on because we go whole hog on the "free speech" thing.

[Sanjivraj]

Haa ha aren't you the so called nation that voted for Trump as the president or would you say Russia rigged the election. Even if that was true can we say that Russia was powerful enough to make their man the president.

[NamerOfStars]

Sure, just like they were powerful enough to make their man president in 1992. How about we actually look at evidence, instead of simply flinging around accusations that were debunked years ago? Or should we bring up how the Chinese shot down Amelia Earhart?

[Sanjivraj]

So yes USA couldn't get it's way with china nor with Russia.. And with presidents like biden and Trump definetly USA is going down. Their opinion doesn't matter anymore.

[NamerOfStars]

Um, no, other way around, actually. Try to think before you post.

[MuddyMole]

You're talking about the leaders. The US is still clearly the most powerful country, but the President has relatively little power, because of the intentional separation of powers - they can't do anything without the approval of congress.
China and Russia, while less powerful than the US, are essentially autocracies - Xi and Putin have total control to do whatever they want.

[DaveJord]

Clearly

[Soteris]

Nonsense, Russia and India is fairly weak. China is arguably strong however they are standing on a house of cards that looks to topple at any moment. The idea of "most powerful country" is more likely to die out as they start to be challenged by groups like the EU for supremacy.

[El_Dugin]

The EU is shit. They're going to lose their commodities supply routes and become irrelevant. Western Europe is nothing without colonialism. Get over your envy and watch the rise of BRIC.

[DaveJord]

@El_Dugin Russia is a failing counrty and this is a deperate power play because they live in fear of the ass whooping that coming. Putin been playing Russian Roulette for decades but he finally landed on the chambered round this time.

[Soteris]

@El_Dugin Every nation today is built on world trade. If Europe loses its commodity supply routes then everyone is and everyone will suffer.

[Crucis84]

Yes, in terms of power projection and overall military prowess, it should be first Russia, then China, and then India. The USA should be tenth or something, behind Vietnam and Japan.
Why? Simply because they've proven time and again that they just don't know how to wield power responsibly. "With great power comes great responsibility". I think Yoda said that, not sure.

[DaveJord]

Do you even know what power projection is? Get real.

[Crucis84]

@DaveJord I am real. Are you, or am I just conversing with an AI bot here? What I wrote was that "it should be Russia, then China..." Note the word "should", not "is". This wasn't a comment on how things are now, but how they must be in the future.
And yes, I know what power projection is.

[DaveJord]

Well if you think Russia and China should be something they are not then this whole thing is hypothetical right?

Well then I think that we should have leprechauns and unicorns instead of tanks and planes.

[DaveJord]

As dictators of course they have more power than a United States President... but that does not make them more powerful.

[Crucis84]

Of course it's hypothetical. Did you even read the question my answer was a response to? Quote: "I think it's time to drop USA as the most powerful country. It's China, Russia, USA and India?" A purely hypothetical question. Obviously.

[DaveJord]

You Wrote: Yes, in terms of power projection and overall military prowess, it should be first Russia, then China, and then India. ---- so grammatically that's a statement not a hypothetical, yes using should implies it contrary to fact but wiht in the context of statement it reads as if you really believe it should be... and not has a hypothetical thought.

You wrote: "The USA should be tenth or something, behind Vietnam and Japan." again should be portrays that you truly belief this and that is not a hypothetical statement but a statement of fact that you truly believe it should be so.

Then you wrote: "Simply because they've proven time and Vietnam... but again who exactly have proven they can not wield power... who the Japan or Vietnam or the United States?

I think that the United States has proven this fact by winning WWI and the Cold War. SO you must be talking about Japan and Vietnam. So again its all rubbish you are talking out your ass.

Japan tired and fail to project and wield power... and Vietnam never has wielded or project power outside of its own borders... so you totally talking nonsense.

Now you may not like the United States and can question their fitness to wield power the simple fact is that they do, and have done so with a more than moderate degree of success or they would not be a super power.

[Twalli]

US still probably is the strongest military. We usually don't reach full mobilization. Even during World War II we weren't fully mobilized by the war ended (we reached 80%). So if we had to mobilized to 100%, I think we'd still be the strongest, but we don't do that because it's not necessary for our missions, and it takes a while.

[NathanDavis]

none of those three have a significant presence out of their patios... even combined... they would all still be limited to their own lawns so no, that is not what true power and influence means... in terms of the military capability, anyway

[Anonymous]

US Presidents don't hold power anymore, an unelected shadow government does.
The last us President who had any power was JFK but he had to go after failing to support the bay of pigs invasion which opened the door for Russia to plant nuclear missles in Cuba, for losing the Cuban missile crisis and for trying to keep the us out of Vietnam.

[EternalInfobot]

The USA spends more on its military than the other three put together and its nominal GDP is bigger than that of the other three put together.

[Sanjivraj]

And what use is that for? Throwing sanctions?

[EternalInfobot]

Choosing not to fight and not being able to fight are two different things. War is a very costly business and you shouldn't enter into it lightly unless you don't care about the impact it will have on your country. Putin has a relatively small economy so he has less to lose and he doesn't care about the people anyway. He cares about his legacy.

[Sanjivraj]

So why did USA spend billions of dollars in afgan iraq syria ? Let me tell you why. Coz they are smaller countries. They can't touch bigger countries.

[EternalInfobot]

Ok General, thanks for your military appraisal

[WhatTheHeckkkk]

India? There are other countries that would be ranked most powerful after US, Russia, and China…

[Sanjivraj]

Madam go check your facts. India has the fourth largest military in the world. Prime minister narender modi is 4 th most powerful politician in the world. I wish you had some general knowledge along with your so called American dream

[WhatTheHeckkkk]

Lol gotcha. But your title still isn’t correct. USA is still going to be ranked at the top for most powerful. It has nothing to do with “American dream.” Just simple facts, that America has lots of funding for military, weaponry, and defense.

[Sanjivraj]

And what did that help for? Destroyinh smaller countries like iraq syria Afghanistan? And when it came to Russia? What happened. Also it's better to know what's happening in the world. Powerful includes everything. science technology military average intelligence of people

[WhatTheHeckkkk]

And USA still takes place for being most powerful. Lol.
War is war, that’s how war has always been. Destroying other countries for another country’s gain. That’s what it is. If your country isn’t as powerful, it’s too bad… Thats what has happened for DECADES! USA doesn’t care for Ukraine.

[Sanjivraj]

War is war now USA is getting it's ass kicked. Better luck fighting smaller African middle Eastern countries. The day it decides to fight India china Russia let's speak.. That's why USA stock exchange crashed 1000 points til yesterday. Gud luck increasing your general knowledge

[DaveJord]

@sanjivraj communist troll don't bother locking your door at night we will blow it in anyway, but we give you the chance to lick our boots before we use it to kick you ass. Get ready to embrace the pain my comrade.

[jahaims]

Russia isn't even close. India has a high population but that's about all it has going for it. China is more powerful in some ways but America still has the strongest military, more cultural influence, and a bigger gdp.

[Anonymous]

Working on military might at different points in post-Soviet era would put both Switzerland (500 years of peace and democracy and all it produced was the fucking cuckoo clock) and Pepsi cola in the top positions

[Dargil]

Not even nearly.
We will be recovered after the midterms and the 2024 presidential election.

[Anonymous]

Putin hasn’t proven he has the most powerful military in the world lol. Why on earth would you think that?

[Sanjivraj]

If usa had the balls why isn't it retaliating like how it interfered in Iraq and Afghanistan. Sanctions? Like putin gives a fuck

[Opinion Owner]

Like the USA gives a fuck. We don’t care about Ukraine. We have no national interests there. Who cares.

[Sanjivraj]

Then y did your stupid presidents spend their so called money and power in Afghanistan iraq syria😂😂😂 and finally Afghanistan chased them

[Sanjivraj]

Such an insult your president is treated like shit by putin. All they can do is sanctions😂coz nobody gives a fuck about USA anymore. However you people lack any kind of skills or general knowledge or common sense

[Opinion Owner]

To kill terrorists and secure Middle Eastern oil.

[Opinion Owner]

Dude you can’t even type a complete sentence. You’re in no position to judge anyone. Work on your English and maybe crack open a history book. The USA only goes wherever the fuck we want to go, and certainly not to satisfy @sanjivraj.

[Sanjivraj]

Ha ha what a joke.. So is terrorism over. Or was USA chased out from middle East?

[Sanjivraj]

Dude I do not need to type English to show my intelligence I have masters in machine design of sorry m sure you might not even know what it is as you might be busy working in a super market or some low paying useless job right which doesn't need inteligence. The Chinese president doesn't give a fuck about your bloody English the Russian President doesn't give a fuck about your English. I wish you had some common sense with general knowledge. Oh sorry you people don't educate yourself right.

[KostasKouvalis]

I don't know how India got in there, but I agree with the rest.

[El_Dugin]

The rise of Brazil Russia India and China is unstoppable, nothing the US can do could bring them global hegemony back.

[Aurora1010]

Brazil?

[El_Dugin]

@Aurora1010 Yep, Brazil. If they leave the US orbit of course, but they're surprisingly doing it.

[DaveJord]

ROFLMAO!!! Get on with your bad self!!!

[MaraJadeLover99]

The United States is still very clearly the most powerful nation on the planet.
China is catching up though.

[Still-alive]

Russia isn't even a blip on the radar. they're going broke

[joeldalton]

Go ahead and root for the US to be knocked out as the leader of the world at your own peril.

[El_Dugin]

Get used to your place as a regional potency. The US liberal order isn't global anymore.

[OddBeMe]

So it’s all those out together? Yeah, then maybe that’d equal the US.

[EnglishEuropean]

Power isn't about having the most powerful military, it's about being prepared to use it.

[888theGreat]

USA is going to lose Reserve Currency soon , then it is over , game , set , match, for US

[Nozgrd74]

India? 🤣

It's US, then China, and maybe Russia

[Sanjivraj]

I feel very bad for your ignorance. I think it's because maybe people don't educate themselves in usa and end up doing small jobs like being waiters. Try reading to increase your general knowledge . CEO of google is indian CEO of Microsoft is indian. Your own vice president has indian parents. India has the fourth largest and strongest millitry in the world and also gave back china in the war field recently when they tried their tricks with indian pm. Read the news Mr biden wants india now to help them out. Very sad to know your knowledge is so poor. India is the second largest exporter of corona vaccine in the world. India is the largest exporter of milk in the world and second largest cotton producers in the world. Most of the engineering design in the world that happens either is done in Germany china or India. Indian engineers are flown outside India to other countries to complete projects. India produces highest number of doctors and engineers in the world. If you still doubt go and check what prime minister modi did to china and how china backed of. My friend your ignorance can let you down.

[Nozgrd74]

Exactly, "Fourth largest military", this post is talking about military power...
CEO of Google and Microsoft are Americans...
The vice president is American.
I think you need to think before you reply to someone

[Sanjivraj]

Dude u really have some serious mental issue. Go google it my dear uneducated friend. Sundar pichai is the CEO of google. Go and read where he was brought up and studied engineering. Microsoft CEO is satya nadela go see where he was born and brought up nd did his engineering in manipal Institute which is where I studied my btech too. Man u people r really ignorant. Kamala Harris mother is an Indian born and studied nd worked in India as a biologist so that is what she has Indian values. Stop being ignorant on a public platform. And check the news the so called president of USA wants Indian pm now to solve the Russia war. Stop being ignorant for gods sake.

[Anonymous]

Invading a little nation doesn't mean you are powerful. USA invaded Iraq. Did that make it more powerful? USA way more powerful than Russia. Stronger military, better technology and bigger economy.

[Anonymous]

usa still has the largest military defense in the world

[ChefPapiChulo]

American penis very big. Very big American penis.

[Anonymous]

The USA has been weak for decades.

[DaveJord]

Thanks miss anonymous why don't you come over here and say that to our faces!
