Germany's military is strong.
Not like ww2 but it doesn't need to.
with modern day technology, you dont need super huge armies.
Besides they have good capabilities and allies |

Germany was involved in the gulf war I believe.
Depending on the next election, Britain will either cut more and have more reservists, and compensate by technology.
Or increase armed forces spending considerably (UKIP) |

@Squid.
I know you love america but...
The huge amount of millitary spending is clearly having an effect on your trade. For example countries such as Britain, and Australia are actually becoming less reliant on US trade, and more so on eastern manufacturers such as China.
Furthermore car production and other former major industries are moving away to more lucrative places such as China, Other asian countries, or the EU (If intended for european sale)
Furthermore much of the 'High tech' stuff america makes, is being made in respective countries. For example formerly only Japan and US were majorly involved in this high tech manufacturing. However there appears to be a less of a reliance upon it.
The US is still being hung up by its 1970's/80's inventions, e.g microsoft emerging, and the apple surge in 2000's. However US's export is going down. Making it less of a superpower slowly.

Now that Japan and Germany are on our side 100%, we should just go all out with their military.
Japan doesn't even have military, like.. just police. That's sad. |

@panda
countries are trading more with china because they can pump out the products much cheaper than america can.
has nothing to do with military.
in fact nothing you said has any connection to the military at all.
good points, just irrelevant. |

I don't see why you say this.
All europe would most likely do, is forget about much of Russian feuds and get on with it. We already know Frace, UK, Germany, have good millitaries, and about 600 or so combined nuclear missiles (90's thermilogical ones) as well as evidence of chemical and biological testing.
Don't see why 1000% is anywhere near a good estimate. When Britains millitary spending is roughly 50% of that (per capita) of the US. If britain and france increased spending by 2.5x each, it would easily compensate. Which is 250% |

America is one of the best technological advanced armies.
Not the biggest, but Technology is a game changer in combat.
Look at ww2. Why couldn't Germany, a massive army defeat Great Britian? Because England had an advanced Navy and systems to know when the Germans where going to attack.
Technology is crucial in warfare. If you can be ahead of the enemy, then you have an advantage on the battlefield.
At the moment, U.S.A is very advanced along with some of its allies and Somewhat China and Russia. I could go on, but you get the point of technology's importance in the military.
