Ranked for 2021: Top 5 Militaries On Planet Earth
Mark Episkopos, The National Interest - 14 hours ago
*Mark Episkopos* *military, * Power, after all, is relative. What are the most powerful militaries in the world? It’s an outwardly simple question that hides a remarkable degree of complexity. Power, after all, is relative. Militaries decide where to invest their resources based on unique national factors of topography and geostrategy—a development path that makes one military “powerful” would not necessarily be viable for another. With that being said, GlobalFirepower’s Military Strength Ranking index employs a unique formula that manages to control for many of the variables th...

*"Next Up: Global Depression"* by Charles Hugh Smith A few days after the Covid pandemic was officially announced last year on 1/23/20, I prepared a chart projecting the course of the pandemic.
