If you want to watch another nearly hour-long video diving deep into how the 9/11 attacks happened, and how US intelligence tracked down and eliminated Osama bin-Laden after a decade-long manhunt, then you should watch this episode's companion video on Nebula here: nebula.tv/videos/reallifelore-modern-conflicts-the-war-on-terror-and-bin-laden-manhunt Sidenote: Prices for Nebula are actually rising by $1 per month next month in September, so if you've been on the fence about getting Nebula, it might be a good idea to sign up now before September so you can take advantage of the old pricing.
"Invading the US would be nearly impossible because you would have to fight through the largest and best equipped armed force in the world. You would also have to fight the US military." Not sure who said that, but I got a chuckle out of it.
I wonder if in America/USA a place that there’s more guns than people doesn’t mean that there’s no civilian asides, kids and children and maybe elderly (to elder) ? And if the entire world is against it would the Geneva wouldn’t even be a thing ? So it will end as no Russian but USA style ?
You mention the well armed population several times, but you neglected to mention that as a result of having such a massive military the US also has a massive veteran population. With 6% of the civilian population being Military veterans. So while there are 2.8 million people currently serving in the military, there are almost 10 times that who have served and the majority of whom would instantly stand up and put that training back to practice.
Even more importantly than them being soldiers themselves is that they could very easily teach the basics of combat to the many armed civilians. Meaning that not only would the US insurrection forces be the best armed in history they'd very likely have some actual training thanks to just how many veterans there are.
not to mention that the US armed forces are one of the few that have real life experience in combat, from Iraq to Afghanistan, we have had troops fighting for 25 years so our soldiers aren't green, we have a lot of troops with combat experience
He also forgot about the 31 amphibious assault Landing ships that the United States have that can carry 20 f-35bs by themselves alone. That is also along with 20 Ospreys and a number of attack helicopters. Oh yeah and a bunch of Marines😂😂
@@jefftucker9225 Yes, a lot of experience raping and pillaging under developed countries. Also PTSD ridden lunatic veterans can't stand to fight when they're getting spit on in the streets because of our failed govt. Our soldiers are just trigger happy thugs. Doesn't matter though, it's us or them.
Also remember that probably 80% or more of the below 30 female population would volunteer for combat service as well to fulfill their equal rights opportunities.

They couldn't successfully invade Laos with its barely over 3 million people, mostly illiterate desperately impoverished peasants at the time. Nearly half a century later and the Lao PDR led by the Lao People's Revolutionary Party is going stronger than ever, proudly espousing the superiority of Marxism-Leninism (that I thought was defeated once and for all in 1991? Silly me)
My dad served aboard the USS Nimitz. He told me stories of how massive the ship was, that it was like a city on the water. He told me that there were over 5,000 people on board at any given time. As well as how the ship traveled to Europe, Egypt, Israel, Japan, and Alaska while he served on it. Spending months at sea before returning to port. The ship didn't receive refueling until 2001, alongside a refit and major systems overhaul. Over 26 years after the ship was originally commissioned. And we have 11 ships just like it. Damn.
To add to that, Ford class carriers are even bigger and iirc, they brings the US' total carrier count to 13. All nuclear. Frame of reference: there are only 20 operational true carriers on earth, only 6 countries operate true carriers at all. We have more than everyone else combined.
I was talking with someone about this after Russia declared the Alaska trade void. Essentially, even if by the Grace of God you make it past 5 armies and make landfall, you'll have the misfortune of dealing with the American populace. Do you know how many people lay in bed and hope tomorrow is the opening scene to Red Dawn? More than there should be and enemy combatants will be swarmed, not because they're enemies but because they're carrying guns and tools that are difficult to get here in the US. That's right, parachute troops might as well be loot crates for the Americans who already have 110 *registered* firearms per 100 people. I'm gonna feel bad for the poor conscript that has to try and take Compton, the last thing he'll see is the window rolling down a 2011 Kia Soul

True, though that holds for the opposition as well. Both of my parents worked in the 80s at what was then called the Foreign Technologies Division, and their job was to attempt to accurately determine foreign military capabilities. Obviously, they couldn't tell us specifics, but I do recall my mom saying that the US shouldn't get too cocky with its technical abilities. That was 40 years ago, at this point, but it is something that has stuck with me.
@@NemisCassander the problem is that several countries have claimed certain capabilities *cough* Russia *cough* but those claims have been proven incorrect over the past several years.
@@NemisCassander I disagree, our main rivals in China and Russia are constantly flaunting their newest tech and at least Russia we know for a fact is over exaggerating that techs abilities. The US really likes keeping it's newest tech close to its chest. Remember that Railgun we built like 20 years ago? Interesting how that project hasn't had a word said about it since.
The same can be said about other countries' publicized capabilities about numbers and tech, especially when it comes to nuclear warheads and submarines.
It's also worth noting that, as 9/11 showed us, as much as we Americans are constantly at each other's throats, threat from a foreign foe would unite us pretty fast.
I agree. If people are as truly patriotic as they make these days, any invading force should expect HEAVY ground resistance. Let’s not even get started on makeshift drone-explosives.
@@Galvatorrixyes because throughout history, population was the only factor determining the outcome of conflict...which explains why a tiny mongol army was able to roll over all of china in a single decade...tell me you are an ignorant keyboard warrior without telling me your an ignorant keyboard warrior 😂 EDIT: This guy is so stuhpedh that I had to come back and add some examples. The japanese f**cked china easilly with a fraction of their population. Afghanistan and vietnam have roflstomped every single world power who tried to invade them throughout history who ALWAYS had a greater population. Your population is literally just a reserve pool of manpower, and only roughly correlates with the size of your economy. china's population is overwhelmingly beyond military age, everyone who isn't actually MOBILIZED torwards the war effort is dead weight.

@@GalvatorrixChina isn’t sending every man, woman and child to fight in America. Roughly 1/3 of Americans own guns. That means we could field an irregular force of around 100 million people. Good luck.
That's out of date info too. The US has 13 carriers if you include both Nimitz and Ford class carriers. France is the only other country that runs nuclear carriers and they only have one. China has two Diesel carriers designed by the Russians... and they both have ski jumps on them so their fighters can actually take off. Russia has one diesel boat and it's in rough shape. The UK has 2, both diesels. India has one, again a diesel boat designed by Russia. The US has more carriers than everyone else combined!
@@Mdksupreme1but it isn’t?

Well this video is concerned only with the military part of "conquering" the US. Another crucial factor that determines the US top position (and military power) in the world is economy.

this massive defence infrastructure requires a lot of money, resources and intelligence. the american economy is not doing well even with all these massive companies doing business internationally. if the rest of the world were to invade usa, they will surely stop doing business with america, worsening the economy, which will render this infrastructure completely useless because gov cant fund it.

Small thing to add but the main reason that diesel submarines are worse than nuclear is actually because combustion reactions require a lot of oxygen so the subs have to resurface frequently in order to get more air and that gives away their location, it’s not because they have to refuel
I was thinking about this, not in the same way (I was just wondering how they would obtain the oxygen to stay submerged for long periods of time lol idk anything about submarines), thanks for giving more info!

Calling the range of non nuclear aircraft carriers "severely limited" is a bit of an overstatement. The UKs diesel powered Queen Elizabeth class carriers have a range of 12,000 miles. It's obviously massively less than a nuclear powered ship, but they can still travel across the other side of the world fairly comfortably. Also aircraft carriers never travel alone, so the other ships in their carrier strike group (which are all conventionally powered) will eventually have to refuel even if the carrier doesn't need to. Arguably the more important reason the Gerald R Ford Carriers have nuclear power is to provide enough electricity for directed energy weapons.
It's still a huge logistical advantage. It take a lot of the load off of the oilers assigned to the battlegroup, and the battlegroup as a whole can transit faster.

@9:51 FACT CHECK: You forgot the ‘North Warning System’ which is the joint radar system between the United States and Canada located in Canada. It consists of 11 long-range radars and 36 short-range radars. The system forms a 4,800 km (2,983 mi) long and 320 km (199 mi) wide "tripwire" stretching from Alaska to southern Labrador.
Hypothetical global invasion that renders all treaties moot: What happens to all those US bases in those former treaty countries? Methinks that would provide A LOT of staging grounds to launch counterattacks against the ENTIRE EFFING WORLD. If the world tries to invade the US, THE US WILL TAKE OVER THE WORLD IN RESPONSE. Send millions of troops across the border? Enjoy every country in the world suffering from immediate counter-invasions that disrupt their ability to support their invasion force like almost immediately. And the United Nations would be rendered moot, because the United Nations building exists within US territory last I saw, so any diplomatic justifications would result in UN leadership immediately getting besieged and captured by US armed forces. And since US troops are a big chunk of UN peacekeeping forces, the UN would be toothless to counter the USA because any outright aggression would immediately cause a civil war within their ranks. So yeah, even if the US has no support from the entire effing world, IT STILL WINS.
But that's one of the points on why it's effectively impossible - the instigating country would have to get all the mutual defense countries on their side. It's another incredibly hard step, and it would have to be before the invasion even began.

That is speaking from ignorance. Every war will use the next generation of weapons, because no war is ever waged with total destruction in mind. Say you wipe NYC off the map, that's a waste since it is an economic center with not enough strategic value to justify the waste a multi billion dollar weapon on. And that is just one city, there are tens of thousands in many countries. So like most wars, military weapons will never be used across the vast majority of the territory.

Not really, the US nuclear arsenal is truly enough. I mean the only reason the US has not stomped Russia in Ukraine is because lf Russia's nuclear arsenal too. Nukes really work.
I feel like the missing part of the video is, if the US already made the entire world band together, they already fucked up I mean, in such scenario the world would have decided "I am not going to trade with you anymore", crippling the US (and the rest of the worlds economy) beforehand, making the video pointless.
An important caveat that should come with videos like these is that they depict an ideal scenario. The reality of war is that a lot doesn’t go according to plan.
This video is simply pure American propaganda. How could the crews of aircraft carriers, submarines and other ships stay several years on the oceans without being replaced and resupplied with food, especially those of nuclear submarines? Staying 3 months underwater is psychologically difficult. They resurface and they learn of the death of loved ones. OK the United States has a powerful army from the point of view of military equipment. But the rest is not following the American soldiers are known for not being in the reality of the lightning of wars. They are great warriors in the propaganda of Hollywood war films in reality whether in Vietnam 85% were drug addicts, in Somalia super armed soldiers were routed by barefoot men. In Kuwait and Iraq the only areas they occupied were their military bases. The rest they very rarely left. As for Afghanistan, for an elite army it was rather a military and humanitarian disaster as in all the countries where American imperialism intervened. Should we remember that the United States is the only country to have used two nuclear bombs on civilian populations in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, causing 450,000 deaths; in France, the American air force killed 260,000 civilians, women, children, and the elderly. Yes, the American population is the most armed in the world, but what is it worth compared to highly trained soldiers? During the Vietnam War, which lasted from 1955 to 1975, the American army lost around 40,000 soldiers. However, each year 30,000 to 35,000 Americans die from firearms. between a country where there are the most drug addicts in the world and the most dead, the USA will self-destruct and none of the 8 billion human beings currently on earth want to die for the 380 million Americans
And poison the wells and bioweapons the shit out of everyone. Just put some hardcore designed virus inside random Alibaba orders and you can wipe a big bunch of people just with that.western thinking doesn't understand that these guys won't play by the rules
A lot of videos skirt around this subject for good reason. Bringing up the gun issue could cause controversy and demonetization in their video. The United States has more civilian owned guns than its population. That's a bad day for any invading force.
42:58 The ratio for "40 soldiers for every 1 civilian in an occupied area" doesn't make sense. The ratio "40:1" is extremely unsustainable. Judging by the math, it seems like it should be reversed to "1:40" (1 soldier for every 40 civilians in an area).
You also have to Remember.....those estimates for occupation ratios are for an unarmed population. The US is literally the opposite of that, so the 40:1 Is probably more representative of what you'd need for the US. Since every single private citizen has access to guns and explosives.
@@Patson20 no, later he says something like "the US population is 336 million so the invader would need to leave behind a force of 8.4 million soldiers." 8.4 million * 40 = 336 million so the correct ratio is 1 soldier to 40 civilians. If the ratio really was 40 soldiers to 1 civilian then the force left behind for 336 US million civilians would have to be 13.44 billion which is almost double the current world population. Plus logically thinking, 40 soldiers to one civilian is just stupid and would make no sense. Why would one person need 40 soldiers to keep them in check? A single person cannot simultaneously shoot 40 other people, especially trained soldiers. The US population isn't made up of 336 million Master Chiefs
@eduardoalcazar2600 40:1 is a number the military came up with on its own after its experiences in Vietnam and the Middle East occupation. You have to remember this isn't literally a soldier staring at 40 people, it's a force calculation. And this primarily is used for pacification of a hostile, but not actively attacking population. So that means if you've got a town of 4,000 people you'd need 100 soldiers garrisoned in that town to properly pacify it and police it. You have to remember that not everyone will be actively attacking the occupying/invading force or even passively resisting them. A better example would be law enforcement, people still listen to the cops orders, surrender, and go to jail despite the fact that they outnumber the police well beyond 40:1. My town for instance has 4,500 people, but we only ever have one or two cops on duty at a time, 10 total officers. That means the occupation ratio of my town is over 400:1 citizens to police. And yet we still enforce order despite being massively outnumbered because people fear reprisal, and they know we can call additional units from outside the area if we are overwhelmed, much like a occupation force could. And sure if the town all decided let's kill the cops there's almost nothing we could actually do to stop it but history shows that when people rebel its only ever a fraction of the whole.
It would have been interesting if you discussed the vulnerability that is social media, and how Russia and China are using it to divide the US. Not everything is about guns.
They only mildly exacerbate certain issues I would say. The population is becoming more aware and are starting to disagree, and lots of these disagreements are fundamental without any possibility of resolve. For instance, allowing the killing of infants is something where there can be no concessions

You mention the well armed population several times, but you neglected to mention that as a result of having such a massive military the US also has a massive veteran population. With 6% of the civilian population being Military veterans. So while there are 2.8 million people currently serving in the military, there are almost 10 times that who have served and the majority of whom would instantly stand up and put that training back to practice.
Even more importantly than them being soldiers themselves is that they could very easily teach the basics of combat to the many armed civilians. Meaning that not only would the US insurrection forces be the best armed in history they'd very likely have some actual training thanks to just how many veterans there are.
not to mention that the US armed forces are one of the few that have real life experience in combat, from Iraq to Afghanistan, we have had troops fighting for 25 years so our soldiers aren't green, we have a lot of troops with combat experience
He also forgot about the 31 amphibious assault Landing ships that the United States have that can carry 20 f-35bs by themselves alone. That is also along with 20 Ospreys and a number of attack helicopters. Oh yeah and a bunch of Marines😂😂

The ship didn't receive refueling until 2001, alongside a refit and major systems overhaul. Over 26 years after the ship was originally commissioned. And we have 11 ships just like it. Damn.

The same can be said about other countries' publicized capabilities about numbers and tech, especially when it comes to nuclear warheads and submarines.

United States is an island empire but of continental size with an invincible military and an armed population.
It is not an island empire. Ouch, didn't you hear in the video about the 700+ military bases spread across the world? Also the US is large in size, so nothing near an island. PORTUGAL and SPAIN could we called islands when it comes to their size compared to how much land they controlled in the past. Most notably Portugal owned the entirety of Brazil, which is way bigger than Portugal mainland (Brazil about the same size as the US and China).

Small thing to add but the main reason that diesel submarines are worse than nuclear is actually because combustion reactions require a lot of oxygen so the subs have to resurface frequently in order to get more air and that gives away their location, it’s not because they have to refuel
I was thinking about this, not in the same way (I was just wondering how they would obtain the oxygen to stay submerged for long periods of time lol idk anything about submarines), thanks for giving more info!
*just* because they have to refuel
The US is not immune to civil war. Many countries and empires were toppled from within. Rome, Soviet Union.

They could take the US if they put 100% effort into it over the course of decades.

Calling the range of non nuclear aircraft carriers "severely limited" is a bit of an overstatement. The UKs diesel powered Queen Elizabeth class carriers have a range of 12,000 miles. It's obviously massively less than a nuclear powered ship, but they can still travel across the other side of the world fairly comfortably. Also aircraft carriers never travel alone, so the other ships in their carrier strike group (which are all conventionally powered) will eventually have to refuel even if the carrier doesn't need to. Arguably the more important reason the Gerald R Ford Carriers have nuclear power is to provide enough electricity for directed energy weapons.
It's still a huge logistical advantage.
It take a lot of the load off of the oilers assigned to the battlegroup, and the battlegroup as a whole can transit faster.
12,000 miles at a reduced speed. Keep that in mind.

Only as long as the America's keeps it's head above the water economically. The 2 vast oceans also make it isolated, so it is extremely dependent on many nations around the world to fund it's military, political and economic might.

@9:51 FACT CHECK: You forgot the ‘North Warning System’ which is the joint radar system between the United States and Canada located in Canada.

"And finally there's Area 51, which no one knows what sort of horrors could be deployed from that base."
You already said that it's a hypothetical global invasion. Any "legally binding" international treaties are immediately a moot point.
Yep
But still worth noting in any scenario that’s even remotely grounded in reality
Hypothetical global invasion that renders all treaties moot: What happens to all those US bases in those former treaty countries? Methinks that would provide A LOT of staging grounds to launch counterattacks against the ENTIRE EFFING WORLD. If the world tries to invade the US, THE US WILL TAKE OVER THE WORLD IN RESPONSE. Send millions of troops across the border? Enjoy every country in the world suffering from immediate counter-invasions that disrupt their ability to support their invasion force like almost immediately.
And the United Nations would be rendered moot, because the United Nations building exists within US territory last I saw, so any diplomatic justifications would result in UN leadership immediately getting besieged and captured by US armed forces. And since US troops are a big chunk of UN peacekeeping forces, the UN would be toothless to counter the USA because any outright aggression would immediately cause a civil war within their ranks.
So yeah, even if the US has no support from the entire effing world, IT STILL WINS.
said what we all were thinkin'
But that's one of the points on why it's effectively impossible - the instigating country would have to get all the mutual defense countries on their side. It's another incredibly hard step, and it would have to be before the invasion even began.

The weapon in WWIII is information
That is speaking from ignorance.
Every war will use the next generation of weapons, because no war is ever waged with total destruction in mind. Say you wipe NYC off the map, that's a waste since it is an economic center with not enough strategic value to justify the waste a multi billion dollar weapon on.
And that is just one city, there are tens of thousands in many countries.
So like most wars, military weapons will never be used across the vast majority of the territory.
History and technology will just continue with its regular schedule.

An important caveat that should come with videos like these is that they depict an ideal scenario.
The reality of war is that a lot doesn’t go according to plan.
The video already made some of the worst situation (99.999% impossible) against US
That’s *why* you have overkill. Specifically because things won’t go according to plan. Never take a fair fight.
That doesn't affect the calculus since it affects both sides.
Actually, its to US advantage as we have multiple redundancies.
That goes both ways, for the defender AND attacker. Plus, there is home field advantage.
This video is simply pure American propaganda. How could the crews of aircraft carriers, submarines and other ships stay several years on the oceans without being replaced and resupplied with food, especially those of nuclear submarines? Staying 3 months underwater is psychologically difficult. They resurface and they learn of the death of loved ones. OK the United States has a powerful army from the point of view of military equipment. But the rest is not following the American soldiers are known for not being in the reality of the lightning of wars. They are great warriors in the propaganda of Hollywood war films in reality whether in Vietnam 85% were drug addicts, in Somalia super armed soldiers were routed by barefoot men. In Kuwait and Iraq the only areas they occupied were their military bases. The rest they very rarely left. As for Afghanistan, for an elite army it was rather a military and humanitarian disaster as in all the countries where American imperialism intervened. Should we remember that the United States is the only country to have used two nuclear bombs on civilian populations in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, causing 450,000 deaths; in France, the American air force killed 260,000 civilians, women, children, and the elderly. Yes, the American population is the most armed in the world, but what is it worth compared to highly trained soldiers? During the Vietnam War, which lasted from 1955 to 1975, the American army lost around 40,000 soldiers. However, each year 30,000 to 35,000 Americans die from firearms. between a country where there are the most drug addicts in the world and the most dead, the USA will self-destruct and none of the 8 billion human beings currently on earth want to die for the 380 million Americans

The two giant oceans make that so, long before civilian guns would matter
@@AbrahamCasillas-t3o WTF IS A ROUNDABOUT 🦅🦅🦅🦅
That's only guns they know about. There is a lot more than 1.2 guns per citizen. A lot more.
42:58 The ratio for "40 soldiers for every 1 civilian in an occupied area" doesn't make sense. The ratio "40:1" is extremely unsustainable. Judging by the math, it seems like it should be reversed to "1:40" (1 soldier for every 40 civilians in an area).
that's a typo easy to get it right
Yeah the channel is really dropping in quality
You also have to Remember.....those estimates for occupation ratios are for an unarmed population. The US is literally the opposite of that, so the 40:1 Is probably more representative of what you'd need for the US. Since every single private citizen has access to guns and explosives.
@@Patson20 no, later he says something like "the US population is 336 million so the invader would need to leave behind a force of 8.4 million soldiers." 8.4 million * 40 = 336 million so the correct ratio is 1 soldier to 40 civilians. If the ratio really was 40 soldiers to 1 civilian then the force left behind for 336 US million civilians would have to be 13.44 billion which is almost double the current world population. Plus logically thinking, 40 soldiers to one civilian is just stupid and would make no sense. Why would one person need 40 soldiers to keep them in check? A single person cannot simultaneously shoot 40 other people, especially trained soldiers. The US population isn't made up of 336 million Master Chiefs
@eduardoalcazar2600 40:1 is a number the military came up with on its own after its experiences in Vietnam and the Middle East occupation. You have to remember this isn't literally a soldier staring at 40 people, it's a force calculation. And this primarily is used for pacification of a hostile, but not actively attacking population. So that means if you've got a town of 4,000 people you'd need 100 soldiers garrisoned in that town to properly pacify it and police it. You have to remember that not everyone will be actively attacking the occupying/invading force or even passively resisting them. A better example would be law enforcement, people still listen to the cops orders, surrender, and go to jail despite the fact that they outnumber the police well beyond 40:1. My town for instance has 4,500 people, but we only ever have one or two cops on duty at a time, 10 total officers. That means the occupation ratio of my town is over 400:1 citizens to police. And yet we still enforce order despite being massively outnumbered because people fear reprisal, and they know we can call additional units from outside the area if we are overwhelmed, much like a occupation force could. And sure if the town all decided let's kill the cops there's almost nothing we could actually do to stop it but history shows that when people rebel its only ever a fraction of the whole.
