As for great ideas for concrete. . . The Allies built a harbor in sections out of concrete, filled the insides with air and floated them across the English Channel to a little seaside town in Normandy, sank them in place, and proceeded to send in the greatest landing force ever seen to take Europe back from the NAZI’s.
7:02 well that island never went anywhere but we have made islands...and mountains...decide to take a permanent vacation from existence but you need to watch his videos on the USS Wisconsin and USS New Jersey for that.
I knew parts of the story, about General MacArthur leaving his command, the men being taken prisoner, and how the escaped prisoners started a guerilla warfare which helped take back the area. I did not know about the US going back and blowing up the whole thing! That’s cool! That’s as good of a story as the soldiers cutting down the tree at the checkpoint.
Gonna be honest, as an American I do in fact consider all of this normal 😂. Also! If you’re looking for other things to react to, here are a couple great ones! - Wayfaring Stranger (my favorite version is by The Petersons) - Go Rest High on that Mountain (original by Vince Gill, and great cover by Home Free, both are great) - Fire on the Mountain by Iron Horse - Am I born to Die by Nora Brown - Angels in Heaven by Chris Rodrigues and the Spoon Lady - The Eager Beavers and old 666 (another fat electrician video) Most of these are bluegrass songs, but they’re all great and the Spoon Lady is Awesome!
People forget the Philippines was part of the USA for 75 years! It was shortly after ww2 , they asked for independence after a self-held election, and we said "ok'. So many people today are dual citizens. So Americans who born before they got independence are still Americans. So are their kids. Thats why there are so many Americans living in the Philippines. Now if Ukraine would have done the same thing......................
@@AztecDread ya, I know. But just like the Philippines, the 3 states that wanted to leave Ukraine were denied their elections. Russia, Ukraine and 3 other countries agreed the elections were good. Then Zelensky got in power and started the civil war again. Had Ukraine done what the usa did , half a million people would be alive today.
''This is so crazy!'' Yeah, overpowered, oversized and crazy, that's 'Merica! Why is this concept so difficult to grasp? Lol! (You think regular America is crazy, you oughta see what Texas can do!)
After having gotten that response from alot of non Americans, I've come to the conclusion, that American Exceptionalism may have actually been a thing (at least in this context) It's either that, or America somehow generates functional, and pragmatic insanity noticeably more than anybody else.
There was also coastal artillery on Corrigidor Island, on the other side of Manila Bay, so any ship trying to force the entrance would be in a crossfire. Manila Bay was taken by Japanese troops coming in overland.

If you like this, wait 'till you see what we have planned for that bit of the Azores the Navy has been leasing! :D
When you tell your friends about these stories how often do they say you're lying? 😂

😂😂 Andre you made me laugh really hard at you saying "That's the most American thing you ever heard" about turning an island into a big gun. 😂😂
Right??!! 😅
Tell your friends that the US Navy was created to fight pirates (not sure if you've seen Fat Electrician's video on that), that's a fun story.
That you should make a foreign policy announcement saying if you don't want to get invaded, don't f*** with American boats 😂
I’m American and I’m learning right along with you. Too cool.🇺🇸
We've already got moveable islands, they're called ''aircraft carriers''! Word is we're working to make that SHIELD heli-carrier a reality! Lol!
7:02 well that island never went anywhere but we have made islands...and mountains...decide to take a permanent vacation from existence but you need to watch his videos on the USS Wisconsin and USS New Jersey for that.
You forgot rule #3. Do not raise the price of gas.
That's #2
12:00 "You sank my nothing, we surrender...."
I love the fact he seriously considered, if only for a second, that the U.S. was going to make it a movable island.😂
We have sunk one before.
As they say in America, go big or go home😅
Lol, Andre is starting to think like one of us.

Sometimes you just have to shake your head and smile🤗❤️🐝

For us (America) I have to say this sounds normal to me to
And i thought it was normal this whole time :P

Now if Ukraine would have done the same thing......................
Ukraine was never part of the US.... it was oart of the soviet union which is why Russia is trying to get it back

I am American, and this is indeed normal. Just sayin....
“No, no don’t tell me that you’re going to make this a moving island.”
Me: Now I want to.
Totally normal for the US at that time. Remember they were also constructing the Panama Canal.
There was also coastal artillery on Corrigidor Island, on the other side of Manila Bay, so any ship trying to force the entrance would be in a crossfire. Manila Bay was taken by Japanese troops coming in overland.
First I’ve heard of this incredible story of Fort Drum! I believe it however.
You need to react to The Fat Electrician's America Stole A German Submarine And Stuck It In Chicago.
My grandfather come up with this equation
I truly enjoy your videos.
Congratulations on your PRECIOUS BABY, GOD IS GOOD , ALL THE TIME EVERY TIME!

If you want to do multiple short reactions in one video, look up Habitual linecrosser.
