the only really threatening country today, technically speaking, is China

Iran don't have nuclear bomb, and only have small vectors (3000km)
only China, with SSBN, can do a nuclear attack on western countries.

..... what for ??
there is no threat whit China at this time (except for the taiwan problem, but no nuclear threat for this)


at this time, the real military power is the projection capability
the capability to send a big armee, far and fast.
Only US could do this worldwide.

but after them, there is plenty of countries able to do that, smaller way.

France start to understood that recently (...... ) but with professionnalisme (no conscription now in France), thing go faster and better.

I still wait for a real european armee, far more credible than the sum of all actual disparate european armees.
not to make the war but to be sure peace will prevail.
