Back in the 50's or 60's, there was a high ranking Soviet officer that defected to the U.S. As he was being debriefed, he was asked what the Soviet plan was to invade the U.S. mainland. He laughed and said that it would be foolish and suicidal to do that seeing that "Your citizens are armed! That would be like fighting the world's largest standing military." "Smart" people.....those Russians.
Our second amendment made sense when we were first starting as a nation, but right now our heavily armed civilian population is totally irrelevant because nobody is ever going to invade us because of our number one military. The only thing are heavily armed civilian population has put into the ground in the 20th and 21st centuries is loads and loads and loads of other Americans.

That saying has been around for a long time. I first heard it at LSU in college back in the 90s from an exchange student from England and most recently heard it in Croatia this summer from a tour guide.
People tend to forget part of the reason we spend so much money on the military as our GDP is so much higher than everybody else's. It's really only about 3.5 % what we spend on military.🇺🇸
Coastal meaning fishing vessels. They literally use 100s of them to push out smaller vessels with one bigger coast guard size vessel per every few ships. It’s disgusting and against international water law.
16:00 Yes we import antimony from outside, that doesn't mean that we DON'T have any antimony resources left. Those mines were closed NOT because we ran out. They were closed because it's cheaper to import them than to extract and refine them ourselves. 😉 Oh another point: this happened only in January this year (2024) long after this video was made. Lithium has been discovered in the USA and initial reports suggest that they're HUGE deposits. This means we're no longer dependent on importing lithium.
Hearing you say an hour drive is long distance is so funny to me as an American 😂 i drive an hour to work and back every day 😂 when i lived in North Carolina id visit my wifes family in Upstate NY and we would drive nonstop for 13 hours 😂
The reason that the US has such a powerful navy and airforce is that it has to go across those oceans itself to get to a war, it has to do something no other nation or group of nations can do.

I think as an American, I forget how massive the United States is. I only realize it when I see others who don't live in the USA. it takes 3 full days to get from one west coast to the east coast (across the country) BUT that would be a trip with no stops at all. lots of people are travel enthusiasts and definitely do go on these very long roadtrips. driving across the country like this usually takes more than three days because no one drives in one sitting, there are always going to be stops whether you want to or not. but its not normal for someone to just say "I'll see you soon, I'm going to drive from Los Angeles to New York." You definitely have to do quite a bit of preparing and planning to do so. It takes more than 10 hours just to drive from the top to bottom of California alone so you can only imagine the great length of driving across the United States
The interstate highway system was built in 1950s under president Eisenhower who was Commander of Allied Forces in Europe during WW II. It crosses the entire country north to south in the East coast and in the West coast. Then there a other highway system that crosses the country from East to West in the northern part of the country and again in the southern part of the country. It was designed for military mobilization of troops and requires ability to land aircraft every few miles throughout the system.

I drove from Texas to California, it took about 3 days of non stop driving, then drove from California to New Jersey it took about 5 days driving from morning to night with stops for gas and food.
While working as an OTR truck, I've driven coast to coast many times. Within the time regulations, it takes about 5 days. When I've done it in one trip, it takes about 2 days.
Love your content! Much love and respect! I live in North Carolina and my parents Live in Pennsylvania and it takes me between 5 and a half hours to 6 and a half hours to travel that distance! Now to go from the east coast to the west coast driving would be about 36 hours!
You can travel 4.5 days from Virginia to Los Angeles, if you plan your route properly, but it's usually 5 to 7 days with both drivers stopping to sleep at the same time. Usually, you want 2 primary drivers + a 3rd (3rd usually can't be trusted without GPS maps)😂
The U.S.A produces enough oil to sustain us at a "fighting stance". The oil we do import is only done for reasons of economics (it's cheaper) and reserves our own resources for when the outside sources become "problematic".
I drove from northern Florida to the western Rockies in roughly 34 hours. I was young but did it in 2 days. It was something like 2400 miles total I think.
from san fran to ny 42 hours straight thourgh..no construction and best speed limits..which means about 3-4 day.. We drove from ohio to texas to see my aunt it took two days with stopping to sleep and eat
The neighboring city of where i attended college made it law that every head of household must own a gun. Crime rate dropped 89% and they went 25 years with no murders in a city that's just north of Atlanta.
I moved from Buffalo NY to San Francisco I drove 11 hr shifts and made it there in about 2.5 to 3 days. the interstate 80 got me all the way. around 3,000 miles. I think my actual milage was 1,700 a bit closer to 1,800
New yorker here, I regularly make trips to columbus ohio, and it takes about 22 hours to leave my house and come back, and thats WITHOUT breaks, besides fuel and maybe a 10 to 15 minute stop at a diner or a mcdubs sometimes. My dad drove a full sized car made of legos from upstate NY to LA for the Cars 2 movie premiere event in about 40 hours if I remember right. Maybe 50. Texas alone can take like 15 hours to cross from its furthest points. You mentioned 40 miles is long distance - that was half of my daily commute to work when I was in my early 20s going from Glens Falls to Latham. To me, a long distance trip is over 400 miles, one way 😂 Edit: we also probably have enough oil reserves to supply the rest of the world for at least a century, with serious rationing in mind. We probably have enough untapped oil to supply the world for the next millennia.
General Eisenhower traveled East coast to West coast as a lieutenant. It took weeks by truck . When he became president he created the Eisenhower interstate system. In Colorado we have the Eisenhower tunnel on his route to LA.

25 miles? That's an afternoon shopping day here. The U.S. is currently the largest producer of oil, and has been for probably over a decade. And we haven't even come close to tapping all our sources for it. East and West Coast is pretty much untouched for sea drilling. We've got untapped supplies in Alaska, and other areas. And that doesn't even go into technology to reopen expired sites to get every last drop available that couldn't be conventionally. The tech is there and in use already. Hydraulic fracturing. And the U.S. is one of if not the largest natural gas producer as well. Although Russia probably has more potential supplies there. China's navy is by sheer numbers, outnumbering the U.S., but most of it is much, much smaller coastal patrol ships.
There are highways and freeways in the United States. Freeways otherwise known as Interstate are roads that go from state to state. There are multiple interstates, ones that go east to west and north to south. If you were to drive from one coast to the other (San Francisco to NYC) it would take about 48 hours straight through. The speed limit on the highways vary but rarely go under 65mph or 104kph to 75mph or 120kph. That distance is roughly 2600 miles or close to 4200km.
@14:52 To respond to the question regarding oil sourcing, we import a lot of oil from places like Niger and Ecuador and a dozen other places but that's a matter of policy, not need. We have money, so we burn other peoples' oil and keep our own. It's estimated there is more oil under the Dakotas (two of our states in the middle bit) than Saudi Arabia had before they started pumping.
you guys should check out the "cannonballrun" a race across the whole US from coast to coast nonstop. I think the fastest anyones done it is like 24hrs straight but i cant remember the exact time off the top of my head
google is sayin that the longest drive u can take in the US is from Cape Flattery, Washington to Key West Florida which is about 3,600 miles and it would take around 56 hours
at the shortest route going from San Francisco California to Houlton Maine it would take 50 hours no stopping at all using Interstate I-80 East & I 90 East traveling a total distance of 3,443.7 miles
Takes days to drive across the country. Just going across Texas east to west would take 2-3 days of driving non-stop day and night. Speed limits between 65 to 85+ miles per hour.
One thing to consider when looking at the amount of money spent, because America spends that kind of money, they are able to protect their allies. So, it's beneficial across the world.
From Maine to San Francisco it is 3282 miles or 5282 kilometers it would depend on how fast you drive so if you went 65 mph non stop would take 50. 5 hours!
I'm in USA. I live in fremont Nebraska. Possibly the safest place in the entire world. When there is a big event they fly the president about 40 minutes from here.
I have driven from Los Angeles to Maine in 4 days. That’s stopping at night, about 14 hours per day and rest stops. But that’s pushing it hard. About 4 to 5 days is a comfortable drive time.
40 miles won't even get you from the north side of Houston Tx to the south side!!!! 870 miles from Beaumont Tx - to El Paso Tx 801 miles from the top of panhandle to Brownsville on Mexican border!!! which is same distance from El Paso to Los Angeles California!!!!

I moved from Buffalo NY to San Francisco I drove 11 hr shifts and made it there in about 2.5 to 3 days. the interstate 80 got me all the way. around 3,000 miles. I think my actual milage was 1,700 a bit closer to 1,800
I drove from Mas a two ships to California at 60 MPH . It took a week. 3,200 miles.
New yorker here, I regularly make trips to columbus ohio, and it takes about 22 hours to leave my house and come back, and thats WITHOUT breaks, besides fuel and maybe a 10 to 15 minute stop at a diner or a mcdubs sometimes. My dad drove a full sized car made of legos from upstate NY to LA for the Cars 2 movie premiere event in about 40 hours if I remember right. Maybe 50. Texas alone can take like 15 hours to cross from its furthest points. You mentioned 40 miles is long distance - that was half of my daily commute to work when I was in my early 20s going from Glens Falls to Latham. To me, a long distance trip is over 400 miles, one way 😂
Edit: we also probably have enough oil reserves to supply the rest of the world for at least a century, with serious rationing in mind. We probably have enough untapped oil to supply the world for the next millennia.
General Eisenhower traveled East coast to West coast as a lieutenant. It took weeks by truck . When he became president he created the Eisenhower interstate system. In Colorado we have the Eisenhower tunnel on his route to LA.
My 80 year old mom still has a newspaper from when Japan announced their surrender in the war and war stamps. Takes me 3.5 to 4 hours just to visit my sister from illinois to iowa.

The answer to "who made nukes????" literally won Best Picture of the Year at the Academy Awards and BAFTA.....among others.....I generally like you two, but sometimes you just gotta get a fuckin clue 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
It would take about 43 hours to drive from san francisco to gloucester, virginia. It is around 3000 miles.
I'm an long distance trucker driver it takes 34 hrs of 40 hrs to go roughly 2400 miles I've done it for 22yrs
Texas and Alaska most oils comes from,there’s oil jackpot deposits peppered through out the country,both coast give oil as well!!!!
On the gun issue my dad always said “it’s better to have one and not need it than to need one and not have it”
4 days if you sleep in the car and you have 2 people driving. - Did Annapolis, MD to San Diego, CA. 4 days by car without stops.
It's about a five to six day drive across the country depending on traffic, etc.
FYI I drove with a friend from Monterey CA to FT dix NJ in 72 hours
Antimony is mixed with year to harden it, but bullets can be made from material other than lead.
25 miles? That's an afternoon shopping day here. The U.S. is currently the largest producer of oil, and has been for probably over a decade. And we haven't even come close to tapping all our sources for it. East and West Coast is pretty much untouched for sea drilling. We've got untapped supplies in Alaska, and other areas. And that doesn't even go into technology to reopen expired sites to get every last drop available that couldn't be conventionally. The tech is there and in use already. Hydraulic fracturing. And the U.S. is one of if not the largest natural gas producer as well. Although Russia probably has more potential supplies there.
China's navy is by sheer numbers, outnumbering the U.S., but most of it is much, much smaller coastal patrol ships.
We have oil in the ground here.
There are highways and freeways in the United States. Freeways otherwise known as Interstate are roads that go from state to state. There are multiple interstates, ones that go east to west and north to south. If you were to drive from one coast to the other (San Francisco to NYC) it would take about 48 hours straight through. The speed limit on the highways vary but rarely go under 65mph or 104kph to 75mph or 120kph. That distance is roughly 2600 miles or close to 4200km.
@14:52 To respond to the question regarding oil sourcing, we import a lot of oil from places like Niger and Ecuador and a dozen other places but that's a matter of policy, not need. We have money, so we burn other peoples' oil and keep our own. It's estimated there is more oil under the Dakotas (two of our states in the middle bit) than Saudi Arabia had before they started pumping.
you guys should check out the "cannonballrun" a race across the whole US from coast to coast nonstop. I think the fastest anyones done it is like 24hrs straight but i cant remember the exact time off the top of my head
google is sayin that the longest drive u can take in the US is from Cape Flattery, Washington to Key West Florida which is about 3,600 miles and it would take around 56 hours
at the shortest route going from San Francisco California to Houlton Maine it would take 50 hours no stopping at all using Interstate I-80 East & I 90 East traveling a total distance of 3,443.7 miles
if you look at the Canon Ball Run race (not the movie), I think they did the race across the us in 39 hours...
I drove from Shreveport, Louisiana to San Francisco, California and it took me a bit over 30 hours.
Many years ago I drove from Miami Florida to Los Angeles California. It took me 5 days to do it.
Takes days to drive across the country. Just going across Texas east to west would take 2-3 days of driving non-stop day and night. Speed limits between 65 to 85+ miles per hour.
No it does not take that long. I've driven from the East coast of Texas to the West border and it's about 8 to 9 hours.
I love this couple, 40 miles long distance 😂 I drive 2 hrs one way to work 12 hr shift to drive 2 hrs back home 🤭
One thing to consider when looking at the amount of money spent, because America spends that kind of money, they are able to protect their allies. So, it's beneficial across the world.
I drive 40 miles one way to work then back after work. I've driven from San Francisco, California to Fort Collins, Colorado in 26 hrs straight.
From Maine to San Francisco it is 3282 miles or 5282 kilometers it would depend on how fast you drive so if you went 65 mph non stop would take 50. 5 hours!
Cross-country (8 hrs driving per day) took me 5 days (4 motel overnight stays).
I'm in USA. I live in fremont Nebraska. Possibly the safest place in the entire world. When there is a big event they fly the president about 40 minutes from here.
I have driven from Los Angeles to Maine in 4 days. That’s stopping at night, about 14 hours per day and rest stops. But that’s pushing it hard. About 4 to 5 days is a comfortable drive time.
I drove from LA to Raleigh, NC stopping each night. It took 5 days
We have our own oil but our refineries can't use it. We can reconfigure them in a pinch.
Made the drive several times. 2-3 days. 8-10 hrs a day. AWESOME DRIVE!
5 days across Usa.. from NYC to San Francisco. You have to sleep. I've done it at least times.
I’ve done Arizona to Florida in 16 hours.
40 miles won't even get you from the north side of Houston Tx to the south side!!!!
870 miles from Beaumont Tx - to El Paso Tx
801 miles from the top of panhandle to Brownsville on Mexican border!!! which is same distance from El Paso to Los Angeles California!!!!
