More than half of the world's aircraft carriers including Russias drydocked one.

The largest airforce in the world is the US air force. The second largest is the US army. The fourth largest is the US navy.

There's a lot to shit on the US for, the size and capability of our military ain't it unless you're talking about how it is too large.

We don't have straight manned capacity (3rd to China and India respectively). However China and India don't like one another and in fact just had a border clash not that long ago. So I'm including India against China, possibly Iran and neutral on Russia (with oil as a bargaining/diplomatic factor).
