Even France could take Russia I think. IMO, we should force regime change on Russia, remove their nukes, and rebuild them like we did to Germany and Japan. In time, they will love us and be a strong ally and we can use them to pressure China.
France's military resources were exhausted fighting as a side piece to Obama's invasion of Libya, something so insignificant it can't truly be called a war. I'm not so sure we want to put our money on the French.

Pretty sure after Ukraine you can't say Russia has the third most powerful military in the world.
India? Saudi Arabia? There's not a whole lot to choose from. I suppose the UK and ROK would give Russia a run for its money, but at this point they just aren't used to operating independent of the United States.
