For my proposes you would need to make two lists. One as a "who has the best force projection and can invade better" and one "who can defend better". China and Russia have little force p[rojection. Nor do India or Israel. These cou8ntries cannot make sustained attacks on countries they do not share borders with.

Are you joking? The hole IDF ideology is base on defense :P And trust me it would be able to defended it self pretty good even from countries that they don’t share their boarders.

"even from countries that they don’t share their boarders" ofcourse they could, because the attacker would have to eventually cross Israels borders. You couldn't, however, do the usual Israeli strategy of taking the fight to the enemy.

why does everyone think about numbers? canada has one of the lowest death rates in afganistan and the US has a much bigger death rate then us so why put canada so low if we where attacked we would could beat off some countrys in front of us with are navy most countrys dont even have frigates so how can they attack us

Conquering and occupying a country with only 400 of your soldiers dead after 6 months, is in fact an unparallelled success in the history of warfare.
Did you hear about Hernando Cortés ?

Not that i think very little of Canada's contribution in Afghanistan, in fact i have always thought very highly of Canadian troops; But comparing Canada's casualty rate with the US rate is extremely misleading!  Canada has a much lower amount of casualties in Afghanistan primarily and most simply put, because she has always had far fewer troops on the ground then the US. The same goes for any other coalition partner in country.
