my views only...

 

East Asia:

obviously China, but with Japan and USA still controlling the Asia Pacific, China may not break out of South China Sea any sooner

North Korea may have one or two nuclear warheads

South Korea will join USA in times of war but Taiwan's President Ma will have a headache

 

Middle East:

Saudi Arabia is, on paper, the strongest in military with an staunch ally in USA

Iran is still chasing its Persian Empire dream by developing nuclear capability, but Israel already has the advanced technology.

 

South Asia:

India is definitely the strongest but Pakistan has the backing of China and may have certain progress in nuclear capability

due to their past ties, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka will probably remain neutral in times of conflict

 

Central Asia:

still largely depending on Russia

Mongolia is juggling between Russia and China

 

Southeast Asia:

Vietnam military may be the strongest on paper, but Singapore should have the best defense

Laos and Philippines are the weakest whereas East Timor needs assistance from Australia

Other countries generals are not able to talk to our generals because of salary difference.

Got nuclear does not equal to powerful army.

 

also, got nuclear is just the first step

need the intercontinental missiles to carry the nuclear warheads in order to pose serious threats

 

that's why USA is not so worried about NK yet

NK's nuclear missiles, if they have any, can only strike Japan and are highly inaccurate
