Sure they think tere powerful. And they are ( dont crush there spirets) but you can say bood by to there economy in about a few months . Spending to much (cough cough over 14 trilion =3
i dont think this rank is because of the US armed forces, lets be realistic they are by far the best, however this may be so because it is dependent on foreign suppliers for resources and has a massive government, household and trade debt.
It has the biggest army and it's solders are well trained and has lost like none of it's wars and has only one black mark agents it history
The USA has fought all it's wars over seas with one attach on the home land, and not even the homeland it was fricken Hawaii. USA has and will stomp any other country for at least the next 50 years

Every country is powerful, you didnt get what McArthur said "Give me a Filipino Soldiers and I will conquer the world"
We naturally born with skills and ability to think and act at any kind of situations
For the other nations who claiming that they are powerful, how many Filipinos in your country? what their contributions to your country?
Comments:
filipinos have strenght if they have a non corrupt government,,sad to say..
No one is better than another person because they are Filipino. What if an Italian or an Indian person are born with skills too! Stop thinking like Hitler!
Philippine does not have the strength when it comes to military or technology. but what it has is its people. Filipinos are everywhere in the world. many Filipinos are working in huge international companies and industries. Filipinos are everywhere. Filipinos have the Skills.

It is actually NOT a third world country. It is part of the EU and is one of the safest and happiest countries in the world, despite the relative low economic growth, comparing to other European countries.

Iran is the most powerful country in the world because they could care less what anyone thinks of them, they are going to do what they're gonna do and no one is going to stop them. It's just like the days of the Persian empire. They are out for blood and nothing will stop them from doing damage to every nation on the earth.
Comments:
I would say that if Iran and Turkey would come together they would be as strong as USA is
i m frm pakistan... iran is our brother islamic country, the brave nation
Iran only has an economy because it was lucky enough to have massive oil reserves. Due to the retrograde and retarding influence of Islam, in the last few hundred years Iran done very little to advance the world scientifically, culturally or technologically, instead relying on the West to develop ideas before begrudgingly and slowly adopting them for themselves.
I can't see Iran becoming a world power unless it changes its regime.
i wish that iran will become the world's most powerful country.they are our good neighbours. i m from pakistan.
i traveled to iran 1 months a go , iran is a very different country with gentle and nationalist , and also indipendet in many military equipments.
sorry !!! more than 20,000,000,000 $ about 30 yrs ago!
sorry , i entered it wrong !
Ive read the history of Iran and i realized that the us gov blocked anything that the Iranian bought from the u.s. about 30 yrs ago when their regime changed by their folks
so it is all the reason why they hate u.s. !
more than 20,000,000 $ was the value of what they bought 30 yrs ago
but now they are standing on their own, and they have built many facilities like nuclear power that nobody helped them !
Iranian love the people all over the world except us gov not people and Israel ! because they are always attacking other countries !
so hope you found the reason why
i am persian and i live in iran , i dont see iran as a powerful country , a county that has not good relationship with other countries can not be strong in its economy and a country that has not a good economy can not be powerful.
The biggest problem Iran has is their people. As we have all seen in the news of people getting squashed by their corrupt government with the recent elections not long ago.
Anything divided against itself will not stand. That is a hard lesson to learn... all countries deal with it sooner or later. Iran your time is coming.
i have been to iran , they have too development in high technologies , and the country has a very strategic position and the most important
"they are really fearless and brave "
I couldn't agree with you more! Iran is so powerful in technology, relations with other nations and they are out for blood. They hate the Jews and Americans and anyone who gets in their way. They are mongols and bloodmongers.

England is definetly very powerful, England owned the greatest Empire in the world (British Empire), think about it, how often do you come across a tiny country but is also one of the most famous and well known country. It's army is very well organised and so is it's goverment. It's a wealthy country. If it wasn't so powerful then how comes it hasn't lost a batlle since... well ages
England really deserves to be higher.
The S.A.S are the best branch of fighters in the world and they belong to England.
English politics and democracy is the most stable in the world and as the leading state of the commonwealth it is politically the most influential country in the world.
misiu_mietowy, you're right. England is just not as powerful as before like in the 19th century, or the Victorian Age, when 'the Sun had never set on British Empire'.
I think you rather mind Great Britain. It USED TO be powerful in 19th century and in beginnig ogf20th century , but lost its power in WW2. Great Britain was really great during victorian age, when 'the Sun had never set on British Empire', as it had land all over the Globe.

Totally agree.
the Unioted Kingdom is often overlooked for the U.S.A but people forget the UK has the best trained armed forces in the world and is quite possibly the most politically influential country in the world.

Turkey had already destroyed to the pkk at the middle of 90s.They burned them in the acid wells.30.000 pkk supporter has terminated with no mercy.But after the millenium 2000 Turkey started to the negotiations with european union and They changed their laws.They become a real democracy.Therefore they dont use massive violence policy on pkk anymore.Kurds population which support pkk terror in turkey is just about 2.000.000 people.Total kurds in Turkey is 15.000.000 people.13 millions kurds support to Turkey.Those are royal citizens.Total Turkish population are 75.000.000 people.
Turkey was extremely powerful in the time of the ottoman's, and the reign of ottoturk made it an unbeatable nation. now.... it's stuck between modern day europe and cultural middle east. which will it be?
Turkey is a strong candidate to be super power in the future world. Its strategic position with respect to geography enables Turkey to control all middle east. Turkey's strong relationship and common history with most nations in the middle east makes its domination acceptable for them. In addition, having very important petroleum pipe lines connecting Assia to Europe increases its weight on both middle east and Europe. Lastly but not least, Turkey's military power which is strongest across europe shows how this argument is rightful.
