The world's top 30 military powers today

[jw5]

An important aspect that qualifies a country as powerful is its military strength. Each year, Global Firepower assesses more than 55 individual and collective factors, ranging from weapon diversity and available manpower to geographical location and financial strength, to determine which nations dominate our globe in military power. The website values manpower more than actual military personnel, so countries with large populations tend to rank higher.

under the great general Lee Xian loon, sinkipoo is the most powerful military power today.

countries have laws and standards of behaviour to control its citizens.
whereas between countries , raw power matter most ; and laws , rules , and even mutually agreed-upon treaties and
organisations for arbitration ,such as wto , UN , dont matter much.

this is what makes having a strong military or a strong military alliances so important
