If there were no armies then people would start forming armies.
Other than the "hot battles" of the cold war; Korea & Vietnam, no armies were used during the cold war. If any armies had been used...there would not have been a cold war! It would have been World War III. The standard "standing armies" (armies that existed but were never used) were the NATO (and the short lived SEATO) and Warsaw Pact armies. The Warsaw Pact armies were the USSR's version of the free world's NATO armies. Another words, had there been a war (instead of a cold war); NATO would have fought the Warsaw Pact armies.
There is no formal ranking of the "best" armies of the world.

This is a description which can be described as propaganda. An examination of all the armies of the ancient world would attact the description 'brutal and cruel'. Similarly an examination of al the armies of the mediaeval world would attact the description 'brutal and cruel'. Similarly an examination of al the armies of the modern world would attact the description 'brutal and cruel' is you wanted to denigrate any of them to suit a particular agenda. War is 'brutal and cruel'.
