According to www.GlobalFirepower.com, Nigeria is ranked 5th in Africa and Egypt, Algeria, Ethiopia and South Africa in 1, 2, 3 and 4 respectively.


And quoted from www.afkinsider.com/30022/powerful-militaries-africa/

5. Nigeria – Power Index: 1.5261
Due to its size, it’s no surprise that several
hundred thousand troops comprise the Nigerian
Armed Forces — army, navy, and air force. Like
Algeria, an abundant domestic oil supply eases the financial burden of involvement in military
conflict. Nigeria has more than 1,400 armored
vehicles, 360 tanks, and 6,000 logistical vehicles at its disposal, as well as nearly 300 aircraft and 25 high-powered naval vessels.

U really guessed right. But Ethiopia is a surprise in the list.

as much as it pains me to admit,russia cannot currently defeat the US,neither can the US completely dismantle russia.but if a war were to break between both of them;russia will lose a great deal,while the US loses almost nothing.russia needs time to form necessary alliances,military ties and weapon technology needed to sustain a conventional battle with the US.

exactly!
no matter how powerful a nation is,it still need allies,ties and partners.for example,in the case of north korea,the US can easily invade NK by galvanizing it forces through its military base in south korea.from its south korea military base,the US monitors{spies on} activities in china,north korea and japan,easily gathering sensitive intel that could be used in dismantling individual defenses.
the US has a military base in mali,therefore they could easily invade algeria,libya,niger,nigeria,morocco etc...
russia needs to begin fostering diplomatic ties with strategic nations all over the globe.russia must never allow the US to set up base in cuba or ukraine.

it is simply in the human nature to compete for power,resources and environmental domination.
without war,their will be unending chaos.one entity will retain too much power,this is unacceptable.
humans respect violence,there can never be lasting peace without brutal war.

But too bad for them (Russia). Just of recent Obama paid visit to Cuba for some check-ons. And we all know US is cunning, isn't it?

everyone hails vladimir putin as wise and cunning,but putin is making a blunder by trying to defeat the west alone.
obama may eventually agree to lift the sanctions on cuba,and then coarse cuba into allowing the US to set up a military base under the dubious auspice of regional alliance and joint military exercise.of course,cuba will have no choice but to accept US conditions.
but we all know that america is preparing for a cold war against russia,and the US needs cuba to serve as a spy gateway through which sensitive intel on russia's military movements will be coalated and disseminated.
during the last cold war,russia made use of cuba as a base from whence they spied on US military engagements and later launched aerial demonstrations.the US is now trying to hijack that advantage.

It'll be interesting to see Russia go head to head with US. But for Cuba, it'll be a hard choice to make cos Putin is really watching her on 3D. Besides, it'll be a choice of which and which will be more favourable? And who's to tie with?

Thanks for all those analysis.....

There will eventually be a confrontation between them if the US continues its attempt to surround Russia with NATO allies.that is what is fueling the war in ukraine now;ukraine wants to be a NATO nation,but russia is against such a decision due to ukraine's close proximity with russia....allowing ukraine to be a NATO nation means compromising the russian military activities which will eventually constrain putin's drive to annex all the weaker eastern-europe nations and reawaken the fallen soviet union.
if putin doesnt intervene in cuba very soon,i fear that the US will achieve its uthmost aim.already,cuba is likely to consider the US more favourable,due to america's power to lift cuba's sanctions.
