That list has Germany one rank lower than Iran.
Any bets here who would win between the two?

Just curious , where does the US rank
Where does Afganistan rank, you know , the country that took the US to a draw.
Plz change your attitude then.

No match?
Well, let’s look at history…the US beat back the Brits to win independence and really hasn’t lost a war since (over 236 years). Politics (internal struggles) kept US from TOTAL victory in some conflicts but there has never been a LOSS or anything even CLOSE to a loss.
Iran and others should feel lucky that US isn’t of the same mindset as the leaders of the Roman Empire or Nazi Germany because US would likely already OWN the entire world…like a boss.
Imagine if the mindset of US was DOMINATE and CONQUER. The countries US already went to war with would be US territory rather than the supported and propped-up allies they are today; US would have bases in all of them with dominant military force aimed at the next target. The US economy would have already collapsed Russia, North Korea and China and there would be no war…except maybe a civil war…because there would be nobody left to defeat.
While all these two-bit dictators (and their ridiculous cronies here in US and abroad) talk trash about US and our perceived intention to control the world, just think what it would be like if that REALLY was the case.
McD’s and Starbucks on EVERY corner if we wanted…whether they wanted it or NOT!!
Good thing American's aren't like that!!edit on 4-2-2012 by seabag because: (no reason given)

If you ask me, I think that the whole Zionist /Israel ruse is set up to lure all the worlds Jews into one place the size of a spittle stain on a map and then have them just erased one day.
Thankfully logic is self apparent and people who have worked their whole lives wont just move there with all their wealth and dedicate it to a few maniacs in government.
Like THEY are the Jews.
If anything they are "representatives" of the Jewish people in a formalized nation made sovereign by the UN and accepted by some in that sovereignty. Their role is to provide a legality and structure to their physical boundaries. Instead the Israeli government interprets their destiny, Faith, Validity as Jews, Purpose, and reason for being.
They hide behind the Jews whom they have usurped and use them, ultimately to their repeated bondage.
I know that they are a strong people and will overcome this. I hope there is enough of the real Jewish people left that nothing is lost of them.
The people currently occupying Israel have been lied to. It is SOOO dangerous to surround yourself with enemies in a pot hole. Its like being in a knife fight in a closet with 7 inmates. Who the hell said that was a good idea. Oh yeah, and bring all your families wealth and invest/ give it to your people. They mean them.
The Jewish people should have free educations paid for by the Israeli government world wide. They have no Infrastructure like highways, aqueducts, etc on large a scale. Some maybe, utilities can be complicated, but really they have a large defense budget. Where is all that money going. That is not even mentioning state organized Arms trade. a
They sell services and technology. Why is not every Jewish person in the world given help in some form. A poor Jew in Brooklyn has nothing to thank the Israeli government for. Why do they decide who gets the Jewish Identity. Their blight is an entire group of peoples.
They are being lured there for a knock out blow. IMO

Innocent men and women and children are killed everyday by the cowards who want Palestine wiped off the map. This is the root cause of the problems between Iran and Israel.
That very same line has been used by Arab countries throughout the years, with the result being lost territory. Arabs seem to rewrite history when it doesn't favor them (Like how Arab countries weren't massing on Israels border prior to the 6 day war), and like to try and foresee the future while always ignoring history.
They are ignoring history like you are ignoring facts. Israel having nukes is the only way the stand a chance against Iran. Just look at the numbers.
As far as US draped coffins what does that have to do with Iran stating Israel would lose in a war between them?
If a war broke out between Israel and Iran America would get dragged into it by Israels constant begging.
I would rather die fighting against Iran and the evil they bring to the world, knowing I at least took a stand, rather than live a long life while cowering in the dark in hopes that evil doesn't find me simply because I have a differing opinion.
All the countries that have been attacked by Iran recently can sure testify to Iran's evil.
you are wrong that Israel represents the Jews. otherwise you're list right

I have heard that in order to destroy one of the Nuclear Facilities that is hidden beneath a mountain. Israel would have to use Nukes , I don't see America going to war with Iran thankfully. And yes no one wants this war except the governments and Religious fundementlist

The interesting thing about these statistics, is that there are only two possible ways Israel would "prevail" in a war with Iran. One is a tactical nuclear strike which destroys all Irans offensive capability or severely cripples it. Two, is to have the US do its fighting for them They (the Israelis) are good at short decisive incursions but cannot fight a protracted war. In either case its hard to imagine how they will pull it off without being annihilated. Its a shame for the people in both countries who dont want war and are caught in the middle of this.

When Israel won the the six day war in 1967, they won against four nations. How did this tiny nation win? God is on their side. To go against Israel is to go against God Himself.
Israel military outnumbered Hezbollah by at least a 6-to-1 ratio in the 2006 Lebanon War. And Israel performed poorly against Hezbollah. Currently Hezbollah has over 40,000 rockets pointed at Israel, 3 times the numbers they had in 2006.
