Superpowers, Hyperpowers, Great powers, Regional powers, and Middle Powers

[Ottoman-Turk]

LOL YOU JUST SPEAK , WHEN I SHOW FACTS YOU CRY LIKE A KID

Turkey is 99% Muslim Converted People - You Worship Arabs Bending Your A*s 5 Times A Day.

Lost Your Original Religion, Culture, Language. You Do Not even Belong to this Land. You Sit on Persian and Jewish Land.

This is your History : Defeated People by Chinaman:



No Civilization to Speak Off. Turks are Nomadics Compared to Mongols. Even Among Nomadics You are the Most Weakest.

True superpower with facts response to french king begging for help


I, sultan of sultans, king of kings, the shadow of God who bestows the crown to the monarchs on earth, the supreme ruler of the Mediterranean and Black Seas, the Balkans and Anatolia, Azerbaijan, Damascus and Halep, Egypt, Mecca and Medina, Jerusalem, and all of the Arab dominions, and Yemen, and the sultan and the supreme king of many nations,

I am the son of Sultan Selim Khan and grandson of Sultan Bayezid Khan, and you, King Francis, are the governor of the French province.

You have sent to my Gate, the sanctuary of many kings, a letter by the hand of your faithful servant Frangipani. He has made known to me how the enemy overran your country, so you are now a captive. You have asked aid, for your deliverance. All this your saying having been set forth at the foot of my throne, which controls the world. Your situation has gained my imperial understanding in every detail, and I have considered all of it.

There is nothing astonishing in emperors being defeated and made captive. Keep your heart content and do not grieve. In these situations our glorious predecessors and illustrious ancestors, may God keep alight their tombs, never ceased from making war to drive back their foe and conquer his lands. We ourselves have followed their path; we have at every time conquered provinces and citadels both great in strength and in difficulty of approach. By night as well as by day our horse is always saddled, and our saber ever girded on.

May God the Most High advance righteousness! May His will, whatsoever it portends, be accomplished. For the rest, ask it from your envoy and be informed. Know that it will be as said.”

Come on! we are not a land of slaves like you.

There are more number of slaves in China than the entire world combined.

I would prefer to be a free beggar earning X than a Rich Slave earning 3X

There is not big qualitative difference between India's defence power and China defense power. You have quantitative advantage but that's useless across the Himalayan terrain.

i guess the 'slave' makes 4 times more income than your hindi beggers``and enjoy social equality and not to worry about their family names (the barbaric caste systems) or gender (India has one of the worst gender equality)
http://business.rediff.com/report/2009/oct/27/wef-india-ranks-a-poor-114th-in-gender-equality.htm
```and not to worry about things like, ''when the masters (hindi government) will spare us enough food to just keep me alive`?''

and it gets even funnier when you have to even import bullets from others, and your 1 million plus mulnutralized cheap army men can barely make it as quantitative advantage let alone 'quality' lol

lets suppose even if pakistan produced 100 percent of its weapons. even then indian jets can distroy all the factories in 2 hours. what matters is what you have not how much you can make

And you think those factories won't have any anti-aircraft batteries to shoot down these Incoming Jets or we won't scramble our fighters to shoot down the Indian Fighters?

Please don't base your knowledge about the military power of Pakistan from Sunny Deol Movies

Israel has never won a war on it's own, it was always backed by someone. Also their economy is nothing & they get 5billion+ US aid.

Not True.

1948 - it won on its own. no backing by USA or other world powers. only ussr send some arms which by that time arabs were already retreating.
1967 - same thing...israel alone and won it alone
1973 - israel had pushed the syrians across the golan and defeated the egyptian attack towards the sinai passes before US aid starting coming in.

The Persian Achamenid empire was the first superpower, it was the first empire to span more than 2 continent.
it was the largest in the world in terms of percentage world population around 44% of known world population.

It was founded by Cyrus the Great. it was truly a amazing achievment, he made it from basically from scratch.
funny you never hear about him in hollywood or the west.

The Movie 300

or was that based on Xerxes?

now back to listing

USA is very good at influence today , most people listen to their music , their NBA games , their movies everything , this is because we are in this age so we cant define that as Hyperpower , so nobody is Hyperpower ever

USA - Superpower
China - Second
Russia/Japan/Germany - some might say what is japan doing their or germany , first japan if they remove the article which states they cant attack other nations they can build a strong army as they have the tech and a strong economy , big brands , Germany is similar i heard there is marshall plan or something which forbids them to build arms , if they do however they have all the means to do so , economy , tech , DOWNSIDE OF JAPAN AND GERMANY IS AGEING POPULATION , now to russia , russia is strong as have good military tech ( except UAVs) which came from soviet times and have oil and gas , but their economy is weak compared to a country of such size and population

I was wondering why no one mentions about US's cultural influence. That alone makes US a hyperpower. No country in human history, including British, has this kind of cultural influence.

Russian/China should be 2nd together, China better on economy side and Russia on military side.

The first part is correct the USA truly is a hyper power, Even if China overtakes the USA economically it will still remain the sole Superpower Power in Military and Influence for quite a while.

I'd rank Russia ahead of us for now.

 

[RayKalm]

Jordan is not even on the list...

Jordan who?

 

[Sasquatch]

China has no interest in being a super-power and all the problems that come with it.

All it wants is to have a thriving economy, wants to keep to it self, wants a strong military to deter foreign aggression and make its people prosperous. Kind of like USA pre-1941.

So for the fore sable future, USA will dominate the global sphere while China build's its economy.

Even if China surpasses USA in its Economy, USA will still be the global super-power.

Pretty Much it most important thing right now for us is the economy, living standards, education, and science.

Here are some interesting index-
National Power Index - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This one is based on population, technology, Gdp and defense spending.......
Comprehensive National Power - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is a modern chinese index and it combines Soft power with hard power, and determines a nation's power in peacetime........
Composite Index of National Capability - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is the most widely accepted index and is calculated on the basis of six factors, ie,
TPR = total population of country ratio
UPR = urban population of country ratio
ISPR = iron and steel production of country ratio
ECR = primary energy consumption ratio
MER = military expenditure ratio
MPR = military personnel ratio
This lists only hard power ...........It considers the current state of a nation and determines it's power at it's full capability
(it does not include potential)

Interestingly, and contrary to Western belief , it ranks Pakistan 13th, ahead of NK, Iran, Indonesia, Saudi Arabia and Canada.........
Also, the CNP list is not updated......it is from 2006

BTW all this is sourced from verifiable websites....Links can be checked at the bottom of the page

1. Pakistan lost 71. Thats a fact. No one cares about circumstances.
2. India pushed back all enemy forces back and recaptured all positions which were held by them, thus India achieved her aims.

Why are the details not important?
Is it because you are so proud to defeat an enemy 6x smaller then you, one which you surrounded completely, one was in hostile territory and one that was cut off from it's home?

The way you people gloat it would seem like you wont the western front. When in reality you won an easy victory due to ALL the advantages in your corner.

I think back in 1971, Pakistan was not 6x smaller than India.

The way you people gloat it would seem like you wont the western front. When in reality you won an easy victory due to ALL the advantages in your corner.

That advantages did not came out of the blue. We worked for it.

 

[Ottoman-Turk]

in my listing i said it but its because we are in modern age thats why , if other empires were strong at this point they will most likely had cultural influence aswell maybe not asmuch

I was wondering why no one mentions about US's cultural influence. That alone makes US a hyperpower. No country in human history, including British, has this kind of cultural influence.

Russian/China should be 2nd together, China better on economy side and Russia on military side.
