Germany has a STRONGER ARMY. It could easily defeat GB if it were 1v1.
It is all about the sea, of which Germany is seriously lacking (not considering access).
Not really. If the German effort was there they could build a good navy comparable to GB and then the fight would be all over for GB.
I'm suprised noone has said Russia? Maybe not enough posts yet.
Many people don't see Russia as a part of Europe....
Erroneous, but true.....

Probably Germany in terms of economic might. The UK in terms of political/military might.

What? The UK have almost no say in the EU. France is the political power, Germany the military power. As long as these two cooperate, the power of the UK is virtually meaningless.
No UK policies have been implemented in Europe the past 30 years.

According to the Swiss daily Blick, around 170 infantry soldiers from the famously neutral country wandered more than a mile across the unmarked border with the tiny principality.
As well as the obligatory Swiss army knives, the troops were armed with assault rifles -
Markus Amman, an interior ministry spokesman, said nobody in Liechtenstein had even noticed the soldiers.
Germanys army is weak. France and the UK have the strongest current military power in Europe aside from Russia.
Germany have the most military potential however, and clearly the biggest industry.
It's all about GDP.
1 United States 14,441,425
2 Japan 4,910,692
3 China 4,327,448h
4 Germany 3,673,105
5 France 2,866,951
6 United Kingdom 2,680,000
8 Russia 1,676,586
Simply couldn't compete in a new arms race.
Not really. The French are notorious for giving up. And the people in the UK would rather drink, and the Russians' would rather not try just pretend. That is why Germany is the strongest.
LoL!
You forgot about the german guilt trauma though.
yeah, but that is a generational thing. Most young Germans cannot associate themselves with what their parents went through or their grandparents. And when I was there, I felt that the younger Germans were going to make sure that their country was strong(militarily) again.
I don't know where was there, but last time I checked, I got the sense they were still in the proces of uniting west & east.
Few weeks ago.When was that?
I meant was that the younger people are adjusting and remembering their history. Sure the older generation is having a hard time but when they pass, it will be all over. And Germany will come to be a serious power militarily. They already make good weapons that are exported in large numbers so they already have the industry there. They just need to rid themselves of the past.
