During World War 2, Japan’s Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto said: "You cannot invade mainland United States. There would be a rifle behind each blade of grass."
Even if he did say that we prove to him that they couldn’t invade us because they’re navy wasn’t capable of that. The only thing that heavily arm population has put into the ground is other Americans because it’s really irrelevant due to our high powered military Mike.
Since most Americans don't own guns.. this is factual. Do you think of there was an invasion of the USA, that gun shop owners and people who have several guns would give guns to those of us that don't own guns to help fight off the invasion?
@@Xfactor444-x4n it’s totally irrelevant because who’s gonna step foot on our soil? It’s definitely not gonna be from overseas because we’ve got the best Navy on earth so would it be the Canadians, the Mexicans or maybe 1000 Cubans paddling from their island?
We in America aren't in fear of foreign invasion in a conventional sense. We have more heavily armed civilians and seasoned veterans than anywhere else in the world. Our Navy is intended for two purposes, to be able to project force around the globe in short order and to protect commerce on the seas.
Yeah gaining commerce by completely discarding value of other innocent lives & massacring millions! Commerce so much most Americans are depressed, drowning in alcohol & brokeeeee LOL & ppl licking the politicians butt cracks as if they care about your lives…. It’s to make their pockets fatter!

Yeah my girlfriend and I drive from grand rapids michigan to Indiana it chicago just for a day trip sometimes. 6-8 hour drive? Just a casual Saturday lol
@@PANDORA3.0 It's literally the agreement we signed with the world powers after WW2, the US was the only super power remaining almost totally unharmed from the war. The USA could have taken over the world at that point. We signed an agreement instead to agree to patrol the world ocean, everyone could safely trade and rebuild, but they all agreed that trade would be in the US dollar.
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.
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.
Famous RUclips BRIT Laurence Brown said "The Difference between Americans and Brits is Americans think 100 Years is a long time, and Brits think 100 Miles is a Long Way!"

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.🇺🇸

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.
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 😂
Takes 25 hours to get to L.A. from Houston. 15 hours from Houston to Colorado. 27 hours from Houston to New York. Done all 3 drives, yes the United States is crazy big.

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.

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
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!
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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)😂
i live and work San Francisco bay area people drive like 2hrs each way every day. i moved from Buffalo NY to sf bay area in 2.5-3 days basically nonstop driving i drove the i80 the whole way
i drove truck back in the 80's you can do it in 48-55hrs. driving striaght i-80 or interstate 80 it goes from ny to san fran California but laws now make it 4-5 days trip
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.
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.
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
@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
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.
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!
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.
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".
If you were to drive from Northern Maine (far NE of the country) to San Diego, CA (far SW of the country), it is approx 50hrs of driving. But obviously you will have to stop periodically for sleep. So 4-5 days to travel across the country if you just do it at a normal pace. It's approx 3400 miles (almost 5400km)
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'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.
If you drove non stop from Houlton Maine the last town on I-95 in the Northeast to San Diego the most Southwestern part of the US mainland and the end I-5 it would take you roughly two days and 1 hour. So realistically with rest, food, and gas refills youd take a few more days to actually do that trip
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.
The USA has some 11,000,000 licensed deer hunters; and that is likely less than half of the actual numbers of active deer hunters. Each have 1 or more high powered rifles. And, there are a lot of sport shooters with high powered rifles and pistols, as well as shotguns. I have 7 weapons. That is not unusual for an adult male citizen in the USA.
With a good operating vehicle and three drivers, you can drive across the US in 3hoursur no stop other than stopping for fuel. People are trying to break records in all types of vehicles called cannonball runs gumball runs. The USA keeps oil on reserve and buys other countries' oil before using their own at the right prices of course. Big oil fields are in Alaska, Texas, and other states.

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.
4 million veterns live in Texas, most have been in combat. Best home field advantage ever
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!
From ganado, Arizona to lake Charles, Louisiana is 17 hours drive.
My buddy drove from east coast of North Carolina and drove to Los Angeles California and it took him 3-4 days of straight driving
Boston, MA to Vernon, CA was 2 days 10 hours with a CO 🚛 Driver. We stopped only to fuel, shower, restroom and replenish supplies.
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
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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)😂
I drove from LA to Raleigh, NC stopping each night. It took 5 days
i live and work San Francisco bay area people drive like 2hrs each way every day. i moved from Buffalo NY to sf bay area in 2.5-3 days basically nonstop driving i drove the i80 the whole way
i drove truck back in the 80's you can do it in 48-55hrs. driving striaght i-80 or interstate 80 it goes from ny to san fran California but laws now make it 4-5 days trip
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.
18 hr drive from Long island NY to north Carolina
Beast of a military, the best constitution in the world, and armed citizens. I am very proud of my Country. I am also a Florida man.
It would take about 43 hours to drive from san francisco to gloucester, virginia. It is around 3000 miles.
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.
Antimony is mixed with year to harden it, but bullets can be made from material other than lead.
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
There's a saying in the USA, "Amateurs talk strategy. Professionals talk logistics."
I drove from California to New York once. Took me 3 days and we didn't stop to sight see or anything, straight driving.
@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.
As a truck driver, I drive from California over to Pennsylvania usually takes 4 1/2 days
I drove from Mas a two ships to California at 60 MPH . It took a week. 3,200 miles.
You guys are fun to watch, liked and subscribed!
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
It's about a five to six day drive across the country depending on traffic, etc.
There is an invisible army of military veterans with prior battle experience extending back 60 years & most all of them armed & willing
😎👊
It takes about three days four days if you make multiple stops to get across from say Virginia to California.
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
Texas and Alaska most oils comes from,there’s oil jackpot deposits peppered through out the country,both coast give oil as well!!!!
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.
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!
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.
Many years ago I drove from Miami Florida to Los Angeles California. It took me 5 days to do it.
FYI I drove with a friend from Monterey CA to FT dix NJ in 72 hours
When I would go on vacation part of my trip was driving so I could just see our beautiful country!
About 3,000 miles coast to coast. Driving on the highways, 3 days if you drive 1,000 miles per day.
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".
if you look at the Canon Ball Run race (not the movie), I think they did the race across the us in 39 hours...
If you were to drive from Northern Maine (far NE of the country) to San Diego, CA (far SW of the country), it is approx 50hrs of driving. But obviously you will have to stop periodically for sleep. So 4-5 days to travel across the country if you just do it at a normal pace. It's approx 3400 miles (almost 5400km)
I drove from LA to Raleigh, NC stopping each night. It took 5 days
@@johnl5316 I drove from Cleveland, OH to San Diego, CA stopped one night, took 34hrs.
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
40 miles in an hour? I can beat that. Look up the cannonball run, the real one. It is just over 2000 miles from NYC to San Diego.
I drove from Shreveport, Louisiana to San Francisco, California and it took me a bit over 30 hours.
I've rode from Georgia to California. With stops and no sleep, made it in 42 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.
If you drove non stop from Houlton Maine the last town on I-95 in the Northeast to San Diego the most Southwestern part of the US mainland and the end I-5 it would take you roughly two days and 1 hour. So realistically with rest, food, and gas refills youd take a few more days to actually do that trip
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.
The USA has some 11,000,000 licensed deer hunters; and that is likely less than half of the actual numbers of active deer hunters. Each have 1 or more high powered rifles. And, there are a lot of sport shooters with high powered rifles and pistols, as well as shotguns. I have 7 weapons. That is not unusual for an adult male citizen in the USA.
With a good operating vehicle and three drivers, you can drive across the US in 3hoursur no stop other than stopping for fuel. People are trying to break records in all types of vehicles called cannonball runs gumball runs.
The USA keeps oil on reserve and buys other countries' oil before using their own at the right prices of course. Big oil fields are in Alaska, Texas, and other states.
Cross-country (8 hrs driving per day) took me 5 days (4 motel overnight stays).
