Poll: Which country is the most powerful among these 3 (Germany, UK, France)?

[noname223]

It is an overall comparison. Germany has the strongest economy. I think UK is militarily stronger than France (not sure) but France is integrated in the European Union.

I am more interested in the results. I will vote not sure. Germany's economy struggles. And nowadays the military is more important than a few decades before. I think it was a huge mistake from UK to leave the EU. Strategically and financially. France has this advantage. Both have nukes. Germany doesn't have nukes and probably won't control any.

You answered it.

You kind of contradicted yourself... you say Germany has the strongest economy then two sentences later say their economy struggles. IF they have the strongest and it struggles, what does that say about UK and France?

I do find it interesting still... back when the UK voted to leave the European Union people here in the US were cheering them to do so. I found it highly ironic because here in the US if a US State ever wanted to leave the union, there would likely be a war over it. People here in the US, even supposedly educated people seem to not understand that the US was founded by the original 13 colonies with a contract that was clear in that it gave states certain autonomies AND the ability to leave the Union if they ever so decided. As new states were added, each came with the same caveat that they could vote internally to leave the US if they wanted.

Of course it would be interesting for a US state to leave and fend for itself... but most in the US don't think it is "legally" allowed while others know that even if it is legal, the rest of the country would fight a war over it and not allow a state to leave. Meanwhile, the UK (whether you agree or not) exercised its right to vote to leave the European Union, just like all the other members have the right to do.

Sometimes I think it might be interesting for the US to have a wake-up call and have a state or two want to leave and see how that shakes out.
