Which Country Has More Military Might Russia Or America

Who is stronger usa vs russia military?

Well - there are three answers to this question.

1) The USA is better equipped, trained, motivated, fed and led. Short term war - US wins.
2) The Russians have more nuclear weapons. Nuclear war - no-one wins, but more of US is destroyed.
3) The US public would never stomach a war of attrition - the Russian public have, and would again if it came to it. Long term non-nuclear war - the US would have to break off because the public would be sickened by the carnage and the deaths of its young men.

Has China become stronger than Russia in military power?

The first point to make in any comparison of this kind is that both Russia and China have substantial nuclear arsenals. This fact negates most of the traditional comparisons of military strength. China and Russia cannot threaten each other in a given crisis in the same way, for instance, that China can threaten Vietnam or Brazil could threaten Argentina or Nigeria could threaten Niger.That doesn’t make their conventional strength irrelevant, of course. Global Firepower has these stats: Comparison Results of World Military StrengthsChina is a far wealthier nation, The Peoples Republic of China currently has a GDP of 12 trillion dollars compared to 1.5 trillion for the Russian Federation. It spends $215 billion on its military and Russia, despite spending a higher share of its GDP, only manages $69 billion.In traditional terms, China’s greater wealth and population would be a decisive difference. However, the threat of nuclear escalation precludes the two nations ever fighting a prolonged war in which industrial mobilization would be relevant.What is more relevant is that the rot in Russia’s political structure—while China has a sever problem with corruption, Russia is a kleptocracy run by a handful of billionaire oligarch—cripples the logistical infrastructure that supports Russia’s nominal advantage in numbers of planes, tanks, and troops. Russia has some excellent regular army and air defense units, but doesn’t seem to have the reserves of munitions and transport that would allow it the kind of force projection the United States can routinely summon. It currently seems to be straining its resources to back up the “uprising” in Ukraine and to maintain a nominal force in Syria.China doesn’t have issues with force projection because its military interests are all regional. It could invade Siberia, if it needed too, or fight a border war with India or Vietnam, as it has in the past. Russia would be hard-pressed to support a border “incident” with China and probably would have difficulty threatening Turkey or Poland with a sudden invasion if it thought NATO was breaking down.All that said, both Russia and China are formidable military powers and no nation in the world would deliberately cross them.List of Countries by Projected GDPList of countries by military expenditures

Which country has the best military force, the US, Russia or China?

Absolutely America. America made the unipolar world in 1991 after dissolution of the Soivet Union. The U.S. has institute the world rules since then by its incomparable military force and its allies, North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) , which contains almost all the European developed countries, Canada and part of Warsaw Pact member states. And the second economy before 2011, Japan, is under the Unite States militry control and even isn’t a independent country, which leads that Japan must obey all the orders from America.In the last decade in 20th century, Japan and NATO gave the political and military surpport to America and shared techonolgy and economy with it. Let Amercia govern the United Nations (UN) and be the top 1 in alomst every area. The opposite voice from Iraq leaded to the ruin of NO.4 army in the world only in one and a half months by America, which frightened the world and kept China in slience for 25 years. At that period, America is the god of the world.But entering the 21th century, things became complicated. The Europen Union (EU) was stronger and stronger and tended to be independent. The Russia had recovered from the scar and found a way to suvive and develop with hostile attitude towards America with a perfect leader, Vladimir Putin . As for Japan, it was not satisfied with present situation and wanted a big country’s status so that it was gradually out of control. And China rised up sharply with India behind, which made Asian countries come into the world.Even though in these days, America has walked down the alter, it is still the emperor of the world. It is no exaggeration to say that although the whole world fight against America, we also can’t certain the result. Because it is the NO.1 in the world, which is several times stronger than the second. In several decades, no one will overtake it if every thing goes well.

Is America the most powerful military power?

The guy who said the British is the best is a HATER!!
Why are you hating on the US Military? you supposely are the best trained blah blah blah, that don't mean sh!t to US. I even heard the Americans had to save your @ss in ww1 and ww2. ww3 is coming soon, i bet history is gonna repeat itself, and we are gonna have to save your @sses yet again..lol

US military is the best in the world PERIOD.

The US has gone thru a lot more than the british, people call us nosey. Maybe it's because we are the most powerful Country in the World with the most powerful Military in the World, and we ain't afraid of nobody, cause WE ARE the BEST!

But even though i said that about the british, i have great respect for them, because they are among the best, but not #1.

Who is stronger in military power, Russia or the USA?

The US is stronger in military power. But this does not give the US much in this case. Because Russia is strong enough to defend itself against any aggression. It is even strong enough to retaliate if the US starts a surprise nuclear attack. Russia will be almost inhabitable after this, but after the retaliation, the second strike, the US will be similarly uninhabitable.And in a situation where it has to defend itself against a US aggression, it is also strong enough to defend itself against a non-nuclear attack with its non-nuclear means. Many people argue about this point, but, whatever, one should not forget that if this point appears wrong, the established official Russian strategy is that in case of a military defeat nuclear weapons will be used first.So, the US is not able to blackmail Russia with its military, nor with its nuclear, nor with its non-nuclear forces. This is what matters for the Russians. They can decide themselves what to do, and don’t have to follow prescriptions from Washington.The military power gives the US a lot, they can bully almost everybody into submission. Except Russia and China. As well as all those who are supported by Russia and China. Even if they do not start yet to create military alliances, so that as Russia as China are, in any particular situation, free to decide if they want to support a US victim or not, they have enough possibilities to support them below the level of starting a war with the US oneself. This would lead to something like the Vietnam war.

How can a weak country like Canada be more powerful than Russia economically speaking(image)?

Because you think strength = military might + population, but it doesn't.
There are other forms of strength, just as effective, perhaps more so.

Example:
How can one woman take down a platoon of 220lb males trained in martial arts, wearing flak vests & carrying Uzis? Poison their oatmeal.

Economic strength requires a balance between spending & expenditures, an effective governnment which responsibly allocates resources, political stability to attract investors & a well developed infrastructure-- things Canada possesses, but Russia is still working on. Why?

Your chart lacks context, and requires a link, however...
The stats listed for both countries are on par with each other. The percentage difference between the values given are nominal, at best.

Share Difference: 0.5%.
Let's put it in perspective. Canada has $2.05 and Russia has $2. Wow.
