NORTH KOREA: Madman Kim Jong-un only has an estimated six or eight nukes in his stockpile — but that's still a frightening figure. The country has 700,000 active members in its armed forces. North Korea is ready to fly a military aircraft fleet of 944 — with an additional investment in 4,200 tanks and 967 battleships. The impoverished nation still spends an annual $7.5 billion on defense.
