"Strongest" - highly subjective criteria. Strongest in terms of manpower? (eg. China) Technology? (US) Destructive capability? (US probably) psychological strength of soldiers? In terms of tactics?
Consensus is that the US probably takes number one position in the generic "strongest" category - of course it is intellectual really, since being strongest doesn't always translate to the battlefield were even the strongest can struggle against vastly inferior enemies (training and equipment wise) based upon things such as tactics, inflexible things etc.

From even the greatest of horrors irony is seldom absent.
I would guess the top ten would include:
United States, China, UK, Russia, India, Germany, France, Pakistan, Japan (huge military budget), Israel
Whoever said Canada is ignorant of how much an international embarassment our military is. Luckily, new PM Stephen Harper is increasing spending so we can actually buy equipment and perform repairs on our existing equipment. We have a well trained military but it is too small and too underequipped.
"Below you will find a basic ranking model of the world military powers in relation to country size. Values are based on a country's placement in our various lists and shown as a collective average. Naturally a list such as this is designed to be subjective so there is room for disagreement as to its accuracy (or inaccuracy).
NOTE: Nuclear weapons, past and current military experience, unit training and equipment quality are not taken into account. This is a ranking based soley on the reported numbers presented throughout this site based from official disclosed public sources."
1 United States
2 Russia
3 China
4 India
5 Germany
6 France
7 Japan
8 Turkey
9 Brazil
10 Great Britain
11 Italy
12 South Korea
13 Indonesia
14 Mexico
15 Canada
16 Iran
17 Egypt
18 North Korea
19 Spain
20 Pakistan
21 Australia
22 Saudi Arabia
23 Thailand
24 Argentina
25 Sweden
26 Israel
27 Greece
28 Taiwan
29 Syria
30 Philippines
31 Poland
32 Ukraine
33 Norway
34 Iraq
35 Libya
36 Venezuela
37 Lebanon
38 Nepal
39 Afghanistan
And the US pours more money into its defense budget than probably the next 20 combined. I know the statistic used to be the next 12 highest-spending but was going up rapidly.
The US spends more money than the next 8, I think. And I'm glad we do.
I agree with Alliance's list for the most part, though I thought Britain would make it higher than Japan.
__________________ In case we find ourselves starting to believe all the Anti-American sentiment and negativity, we should remember England 's Prime Minister Tony Blair's words during an interview. When asked by one of his Parliament members why he believes so much in America , he said:
"A simple way to take measure of a country is to look at how many want in... And how many want out."
Yeah, I a sure Russia, China, India, Germany, France, Japan, Turkey and Brazil would like totally start invading you if you'd spend less.
And considering nuclear capabilities I assume that Germany is indeed farther down the list. Of course if you give us ten years we shall kick Europe's butt once more. Nah, lets they the world's, should work on the third attempt.
