Vladimir Putin said it best. "The United States is best left alone" He was asked if Russia could fight off a United States military invasion. His response was simply "For how long?" He went on to say " The United States fought Afghanistan for nearly 20 years and it nearly bankrupted the Soviet Union, not only Afghanistan but Iraq as well" He further elaborated that. "You have to ask yourself one question" "What could the United States gain from such an operation ,that they don't already have or can't get?" Interesting response from a supposed enemy of America.
@@randolphcirilo4800 ok. First i searched for such interview of putin and didn't found anything remotely close and i am also sceptical of putin ever saying that because Putin's whole play is showing his people that he is a powerful person who doesn't fear anything. Second its incredibly hard to invade Russia because of its size and terrain and russia would win against any invader even by playing defensive. (This is much more detailed and complex matter which cannot be completed in brief). Plus If you have link of such interview then i would love to see it and i will admit that i am wrong about the interview thing.
In a USA v World situation, considering a loss would likely result in the end of this country, I could totally see our Army unleashing a plethora of experimental weapons that are not known to the public. I can’t imagine the insane weaponry they have come up within this age of tech.
Word up bro . the U S Marines have been training with anti-ship missiles in preparation for an island hopping conflict with China in the pacific for sometime now . also in the Atlantic I E the Azores and Iceland , ect . everyone discounts the Marines saying they are outdated . nothing could be further from the truth . the old climb down the cargo net into the landing craft and get shot to hell on the way to the beach days are sssssooooo long gone .
And dont forget this us the peace time force they have if war comes their army size would triple and theyd be making tech and weapons that would look like theyre made for aliens or somethin
@@KalEL224 Keep in mind that we're also the ones who used an otherwise experimental weapon before. Twice. In Japan. We hit hard and fast and hope that we can make it stop before they make us kill all of them. FYI: The nukes weren't right, but they did what we needed them to do. It was that or we annihilated all of Japan.
As a veteran of the U.S. Navy I find this wildly accurate, but how devastating would that be to all involved including America. It is horrific to think about. Global loss, global sadness, global hate....I am not sure any of us would recover from the losses and I am not talking financial losses.
Don’t forget we have at least half a dozen “decommissioned” air craft carriers sitting in ports that people can go on tours through. Those can quickly be armed and sent back out to sea. Our navy could grow by 50% in a week with recommissioned and updated vehicles.
@@Jacob-Simonsen Get off your high horse the average American has more money than the average Dane. There is free healthcare for those 65+ and crime isn’t a big deal outside a few cities.
When you said “You guys have bigger McDonald’s cups than us and you also have a large Army man.” I almost peed my pants laughing. We really do have huge soda cups. 🥤
Maybe if they lived in places like Texas , Arizona , California , New Mexico , ect , where temperatures regularly get over 100 degrees Fahrenheit , they would understand this isn't a matter of humor . look at photos of the old days where people had canvas " desert bags " of water slung over the hoods of their cars in case they broke down or , in the case of my own wife had a case of heat exhaustion and was saved by these " giant " sized soda cups filled with iced water and ice because medical services were over 125 miles away .
As an American, I love that statement. We have been actively at war for so long I can't remember precisely when the last time we were at peace was. Was it before 'Nam? Before WW2?
I Hate it, but I also hate the neccessity and reasons for it too. Lot of assholes in the world. Some of them run countries. We would be absolute cowards to turn our back on the world and abandon the weaker nations to world powers. Not all of our conflicts were justified, I think most americans agree our actions in Vietnam were not ethical. But we have done good in the world and I think despite our mistakes, we continue to do good. Maybe not all the time or very well. But its better than letting the world act like it did in WW2
Do you realizes that if ANY other country in history had this power and positioning they would have created an empire by now. It’s important to notice that the USA has not, and never will do that. That makes the USA unique as compared to EVERY OTHER COUNTRY IN HISTORY!
The US does have an empire, just not one in a classical sense. We don't directly rule over other countries, sure, but the rest of the world is completely incapable of ignoring anything we do. Media, entertainment, values, all the things that makes us American is globally emulated or despised. "Westernization" is a real thing, and the North Star of it is the United States. The US doesn't need to launch a global offensive and take the world by force, all we need to do is simply look like the best bet, and the world will follow. The United States ironically doesn't like war. Sure, some elements in the framework do, for various reasons, but war is bad business. If the goal is to conquer all, wouldn't the easiest way be to simply convince people that our way is better? Destroying a persons country with violence, or enticing them to convert to our ideals, the end result is the same. A lot fewer bodies though. Such a task requires an image of invulnerability to pull off though...
We are also the only democracy. In recorded history. Unlike every other county having a dictator we have a president and the people are supposedly in on that vote lol.
My brother worked in the White House and asked a General once about our weapons... he simply said, if we have shown it to the world, it's already obsolete... considering the stealth was flying in the 50s and we didn't know about it till 1990, imagine what they have now, that we don't even know about...
And that we already know that the US has "experimental" railguns that can punch through solid steel from miles away, that probably means we have railguns that are by no means experimental and are fully functional.
You know all those stories of UFOs... why go to all the trouble of creating an elaborate cover story when the public invents one for you. A few prods and nudges here and there. The F-117A was in active testing from what we know as far back as the 80s. It's first public use in battle wasn't until Desert Storm in the 90s. Willing to bet that anything the public knows about is roughly 10 years obsolete on average. Trump tweeted that satellite photo of a failed missile test from I forget... Iran??, anyway it showed significantly higher detail than anyone was thinking about. Probably pissed the hell out of a whole bunch of people in the military. lol.
As a Army veteran(infantry), I do not only protect America, but it's allies and friends as well, that's included UK, Canada, Japan, etc. Always have love for all of y'all. 🤗🙏👍
Very true. If this did break out, I'm positive we'd be like, Hey UK, how about we just chill and not fight. You are our brothers and sisters across the ocean.
MY Son In Law is a Commander in the US Navy, I have often asked him questions about actions of the military if a world war was to break out ( after making him his favorite berry pie.) He just grins a little and says let me put it this way, I can't reveal that kind of information, not even to you, then says let me put it this way, there would be no world left except the USA and it's allies. I stopped asking..
At this moment I watch this, there's a super transport stuck sideways in the Suez Canal, and they're unsure how long it's going to take to open it up, backing up traffic in both directions. Imagine how much harder that task would be if it was actually sunk in that position.
@@proudamerican183 all it would take is a couple tomahawks launched from 80 miles away to stop them from attempting for a bit. A couple million to stop billions from going through, small price, especially since it's already spent.
Actually, that would probably make the task easier. It was hard because they were trying so hard to not damage the ship. If it's already sunk, just high explosive the crap out of it send in a few dredgers and clear the lane. Would have been done in a week or less.
This is completely an academic (fictional) scenario because of nuclear weapons. It would never play out this way. Many countries like Israel, Pakistan, and even North Korea know that they do not have the capability to fight a large force, or take the war to their opponent far across the seas. There capabilities are strictly defensive. Their survival strategy has long been developing nuclear weapons as a deterrent. He is correct in that the US alone (with is huge naval transport fleet) has the ability to transport (and protect) massive amounts of troops and equipment to anywhere in the world that they are needed. And because the US is so far away from the other major powers like China, India and Europe any attempts to bring large numbers of ships (troops and equipment) toward the US would be spotted and attacked long before reaching our shores. I served in the US Navy for 6 years and can attest to its extremely high levels of operational readiness. After all, we have been the most active military around the globe for over 50 years. Especially the NAVY. The Navy spends billions practicing and preparing for every scenario that we are likely to face. And this is unlikely scenario that can be dreamed of. The US without Britain?? Never!! Rest easy Bees. 👍👍👍
I think the lesson is, we also have the most money spent on charities and humanitarian aid all over the world. Very few countries in history have had might and humanitarian aid to this degree.
Yup. We donate more to people in need than the rest of the world combined. I'm on disability but still send my friends in Pakistan and Uganda money. A 100 bucks goes a long way there. It's kind of humbling how fortunate we Americans are.
That's actually why it took so long to unblock it... it was a functional ship they were trying to keep functional. If it was sunk there, they'd have just blown the thing up and quickly dredge the mess out of the lane.
@@mycroft16 by quickly do you mean weeks? a fully loaded cargo ship would leave alot of debris, and once they clear it, send another missile to disable the next one. what happens first the US run out of missiles or the world runs out large cargo ships?
@@jlcurtis94 Rofl good luck ''sending a missile'' that canal is about 80' deep too. Could pry just leave the wreckage sunk and flow right past. Not to mention that canal holds no real significance militarily either..
@@howardwayne3974 You can't possibly think that I meant ICBMs need to go on a boat. The video rules out nuclear attacks in the first paragraph. This is a video about conventional warfare. No person who can operate a computer could be that fucking dumb. Quit trolling.
@@howardwayne3974 the US has on of the most and maybe even the most advanced defense systems and weapons against icbms because if the cold war where everyone was threatning to launch missiles at eachother
@@howardwayne3974 We have more then anyone not named Putin. So if they want to live in a brand new irradiated parking lot thier ICBMs don't really matter.
_The Infographics Show_ didn't include public support in the US. I'm an American myself and at so many points in the upload I thought "good luck dealing with the public". Us vs The World would be insanely unpopular here in the States.
@@Jacob-Simonsen So, more troops than the rest of the world, combined. And "serious offense" is what, exactly? Since you can't conquer without boots on the ground, and those are the things that are most vulnerable to said firearms, I continue to wonder what people are thinking of when they make these statements.
If the world drops our treasuries good by to the economic power. Without buying power good y to fueling our military power. The world holds up our military.
Just to give you an idea of our annual defense budget. The budget funds six branches of the U.S. military: the Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force and Space Force. For Fiscal Year 2020 the Department of Defense's budget authority is approximately $721.5 billion ($721,531,000,000).The 2020 defense bill provided $738 billion for the military. That included $146 billion for a broad laundry list of military hardware, to include $1.87 billion for 98 F-35 aircraft and eight F-15EX aircraft to recapitalize the F-15C/D fleet.
You are discounting the U S Coast Guard . true , they come under the dept. of transportation but in time if conflict the defiantly shift into war mode and give an outstanding account of themselves . there were coast guardsmen in Vietnam and in the Iraq war providing port security and control of shipping in a combat zone .
@@howardwayne3974 Now under DHS so they have a better budget and organization with even more focus on anti-terrorism, and interdiction/law enforcement. The coasties still have some combatant type units that assist guarding the ports in the middle east to this day!
I think Bagdad had the most heavily defended airspace on earth. We destroyed it in like an evening lol. The first time we fought Iraq it took like a week.
LOL the Iraqis themselves helped win it so quickly. I mean, we would have won anyway....but when enemy soldiers are surrendering to American *news crews*, because they don't want to fight and die for their "leader", it does kind of help. Just sayin.
I am so intrigued with so much you have learnt, far more than me & I'm 60 yrs old!! I'm british (born in Ireland), left Ireland when I was 2 yrs old. It's just astonishing what you learn no matter what age you are.
The US military is so large because 1) the US Navy took over the role as guardian of the world's sea lanes of communication and 2) the experience of WW II made us see being able to fight two theaters of war simultaneously as vital to securing the homeland. The Cold War only amplified this.
He denied the use of nuclear weapons. What he did not even mention was "kinetic penetrators". You don't need nuclear weapons to create nuclear level destruction. You need no explosive at all. Look up "rods from God". They were discussing them when I was in the Navy back in 1980-84. Then it just went quiet. I figure we have them. Awesome concept!!
Speaking of "things going quite," there was some discussion of our own hypersonic test vehicles some years ago, then that went silent. I believe around twenty years ago there was discussion in the media for a time of literal "cloaking" technology, both by ourselves, and allies such as Israel. Then THAT went quite - which, as you say, Gregg, is likely as not a good indication such tech has become operational by now if its ever needed.
There'd be no point in doing it, but it goes to show the amount of advanced weaponry a country can have when it spends a ton of money on its military each and every year for 80 years.
And, contrary to popular opinion, how much more we could dominate if we wanted to. We are basically the world's police force, but we aren't imperialist like so many claim we are. We could be if we wanted to, we simply choose not to be.
@@Taunic oh exactly . let say we did leave an area. oops that dictator that communist that rebel force aka the Taliban for example comes in and they beg for us to return and help lol
The problem with generalizations is that the "military's budget" is no where close to the defense spending. Defense spending includes so much more than military expenditures, it includes money spent by the alphabet agencies, DARPA, some goes into NASA through the military, and so much more. It's ridiculous to confuse defense expenditures to military spending.
I LOVE when people from other countries see these videos and are shocked. I deployed in the Navy twice. The first time. A growler was landed. Literally EVERYONE on the ship including aircraft handlers unless they had at least secret clearance. Were told to go below deck. I did have clearance. So I got to bring it in from the flight deck and then put it back on the elevator for it to fly off. This thing was INSANE!!!! And this was 2008. No I won't answer questions about it. And another deployment. A seal team had to do emergency refuel. Once again the CO got on the 1MC and told absolutely everyone to go to their berthings. Or at least stay far away from the hangar bay. And this is before cell phone got like this. So we have secrets and technology the rest of the world wouldn't believe!!! And the ships. You will never see what they can do. I couldn't believe something that huge could move like that. I can't say more. But Holly shit!!!!! I miss it!!!
There would be a rifle behind each blade of grass. Alone in my state there are over 700K registered hunters (deer) and that's just my state. Imagine how many other hunters there are in the USA. So you would have not only the military, but the people themselves standing up to help defend her.
"During conflicts, the deciding outcome is swayed when there is little known of the enemy." "In battle, the paradox is known. Would you rather outlive your enemy, or destroy them as quickly as possible?" "You never wear your best suit outside of your house."
The thing is, that if anything were to happen to the US the other countries would be in a bad situation. For example, the other countries seemed just as upset as we were about 9-11, regardless of whoever was responsible. Many other countries lost people in that as well. Plus, the US has no desire whatsoever to do what is depicted in this video.
Actually the definition of a Superpower is the ability to project power AND influence ANYWHERE in the world at any point in time. In any conflict there are elements that essential to maintain or destroy in the case of the enemy. 1. Fuel 2. Logistics 3. Information 4. Morale 5. Production 6. Experience/ Training/ Tactics 7. Leadership If you can maintain these elements, and deny them to your enemy, regardless of the size of the conflict, you will win. Weapons are simply one tool, among many used, to achieve your goals and maintain your essential elements.
I mean we aren’t great. Don’t get me wrong I love my country but we can’t ignore the fact that whenever a small country won’t give us their natural resources we overthrow their government in secret, install some despot who will deal with us, then call them terrorists or communists to justify military intervention again. It’s happened at least four times in as many decades.
You are already an evil Empire, but I assume you don't mean "bomb Iraq" evil, but rather go on a world-conquest mode. In such case, the US wouldn't be an Empire in the first place as its power derives from trading with its allies.
@@ComradeHellas Fun fact the Romans power was derived by trade. So was Great Britain, so the Chinese Empire. That is a a defining feature of an empire.
@@timesthree5757 Obviously and the importance of trade is the reason why world conflicts do not happen anymore. No country that I am aware of can sustain itself fully, and this would be the demise of the States if they act rogue in complete disregard of the International law.
1. I am American, and this scenario sickens me. I don't think it's a possibility. 2. I worry more about the US imploding from within than I do about an invading force. 3. I have been to England twice and have friends in Wales and Scotland; I love the UK as do most of us! 4. They did not mention it, but an invading force would also have to contend with "a gun behind every blade of grass" due to our heavily armed civilian population. 5. I like your channel! 6. I think this is why our healthcare and University is so expensive.
The U.S.A. internal politics imploding and collapsing the government would make this scenario more likely The collapse of the Roman Republic birthed the Roman Empire. What replaces the American Republic will be much worse since we have nukes.
The reason Universities and colleges cost so much is because of the government backed loans. The Universities can and do charge as much as they want because the government will pay it no questions asked. Even if the student drops out the colleges still get paid.
The USA designed the SR-71 Blackbird in 1964 and to this day it’s still the fastest and highest flying plane we know about. So I can only imagine what we have now that we don’t know about.
Without going into detail, runways aren't a major necessity for US military aircraft now, as a lot of newer fighters are capable of vertical takeoff. Only need for a runway is landing, so very little bottle-necking in getting aircraft off the ground.
As a US citizen no matter what you do we have the highest rate of change to full military perdoction in ww2 let alone we would be able to continue the war efforts to no resources left
You know you're forgetting all about the US weapons that aren't even advertise that are still secret, like one for example Thor's hammer that's been up in outer space since the late 60s
I think it's important to note that there are a lot of Christians in the US military. That being said, regardless of the reason a lot of them would not want to be a part of the war. That would cause a lot of internal conflict. Another issue is experience. Right now, the US military does not have a major conflict. Some people think that the US is trying to force its way into needless wars but I don't feel that way. I am a Christian, that doesn't change the fact that the US is always trying to be prepared by being involved in things it doesn't need to be involved in. I'm not saying I agree with it I just understand. A lot of the other militaries don't have the experience that we do because they just not involved in anything.
This shows that our Navy dominates with active units. I'd imagine that in a USA vs The World war our inactive BATTLESHIPS (the ships that Vietnam feared so much they wouldn't come to the peace talks until the ships left the area) would be reactivated. Those monsters could destroy cities from over the horizon.
Lead through strength and stay safe the same way. Don't think for a minute if China thought they could conquer America it would happen...now and they are putting all the American dollars we spend there right into their military. They are close now on naval strength.
Heh, a single oil tanker could shut down the Suez Canal for weeks. That didn’t age well lol. But anyway, love the vids mate! Just found your channel and I’m loving it! Much love to our British folks!
That is due mostly to politics, not ability. We certainly aren’t going to destroy that tanker. If it were war, it would be gone before it caused any problems.
@10:48 and that's not including our 6th generation FA-XX prototypes and B-21 Raider Prototypes, entering the end of testing and beginning of production, Also though Nukes are banned in this simulations, Orbital Kinetic Weapon platforms like Thor are legal, but not mentioned.
@@Thornsfordays ENTERING PRODUCTION, you think the first proto types didn't exist 3 years ago? we've been making the parts for them since 6 years ago. go get job in Americas only manufacturing field, MILITARY, and maybe move out your moms basement.
Have to remember we are also the country that gives the most money to the UN and most of all of our so called allies fly American made planes which we would end support to would this ever happen.
Remember our Spece Force potential has become so big that it now needs its own branch of the military. We Americans have had unmanned space craft in space orbiting the globe for about 10 years now. The missions usually last about 2 years each. What are they doing up there? What can they do up there? How maneuverable are they? They are shaped like triangles. How many UFO images have you seen shaped like triangles?
And the replacement will be.... what? Solar? Do a simpler RUclips review. Wind? Takes ~2,000 windmills to equal one, ONE nuclear power plant. I know too much, with good reason. But breakthroughs do occur. I am hoping. I hate the cold, personally. But love the outdoors. Been around. Know way too much. It ain't just oil. It's finding a balance what we CAN and CANNOT do. Personally, I'm a sailor, with sails.
Invading the U.S. is also usually considered impossible just based on the guns owned by civilians per capita. We have over 120 guns per 100 people which far surpasses every other country by at least double. So everyone here is effectively armed. Now, it's not exactly true, because some own none, and some own many. But if invasion were to ever occur, it could be assumed that people would be distributing weapons to friends and family or allies that could aid in repelling. And if our tyrannical government would actually abide by our constitution, many of us would have even more weapons and weapons they have deemed "illegal". And they continue to try to restrict gun ownership. It never works out well for them, as soon as they threaten more restrictions, gun sales soar until it's hard to find what you want. And forget getting .22 long rifle ammo during that time.
@Red of the Man Not possible. ICBM's and nuke subs would launch more and faster than any number of intercept missiles could catch. The result would be the surviving nations/population to survive whatever the fallout/radiation would be in targeted areas. If we even could do that depending on how lethal new weapons capabilities are. Then the question of contaminated food and water sources available to survivors. Any true and blue nucleur warfare attack would be the end of what we call civilization.
to get some insight of some of the ground forces i suggest watching the fat electrician here on you tube. he offers a brief explanation of the typs of troups that could be stationed on any of the battlegroups. i do recommend paying attention to what he states about marines.
Honestly, I thank God, even though I'm agnostic every day because as an American we genuinely live in a very free and peaceful society when we're not trying to kill each other. LOL I remember reading somewhere in a modern American history book that the biggest threat to America is other Americans.
@Red of the Man I love how you blame one party when the 1700s party (repuglicants) don't progress they take us back in time but that's besides the point both parties are the same two headed dragon not working or thinking about what's best for us citizens but for their pockets. Stop fighting each other and stand together as one get rid of this party system and vote for the person not the party they stand for. I vote for American interests not a party! Everyone who runs ruins it for me they always wanna blame the other party and not point blame at the us gov who controls the us president puppet who's in office at the time. Go USA 🇺🇸 ❤🤍💙 we can conquer the divide and the gov bc it's not we the so and so party it's WE THE PEOPLE !
@Red of the Man two sides of the same coin man. Doesn't matter what side lands up, the coin is still worth the same, and the value is not worth shit. Republicans have moved so far from what they are supposed to be they are unrecognizable. Democrats are the same as the Republicans in being unrecognizable. The two party system is nothing but a con game. Depending on your beliefs you vote for whichever party even if you don't like the candidate. The lesser of two evils mentality. The two parties have a strangle hold on elections making anyone else running irrelevant. The illusion of choice is just that, an illusion. It's all carefully orchestrated so the ruling class remains intact. Some of us want better choices than the same old shit with a different face that we have now.
@Red of the Man I participate just fine thank you. I also don't vote for a candidate more than twice. I'm fully behind forcing term limits with my vote, and I definitely research them looking for fresh new people that haven't had time yet to make politics a career. So no I'm not an uniformed blind voter. I also don't bury my head in the sand and blindly follow a party line. And both parties are so far beyond trash it isn't even funny. If you don't like my analogy I don't really care, because both parties have screwed up enough they should be permanently banned.
@@Jacob-Simonsen Armored ground attacks will not be an issue. Planes and Jets will be an issue as I have no surface to air missiles laying around. Luckily I would assume nearly the entire planet's supply of fighter air craft would be lost in the military war so that by the time anyone invaded US soil they would be facing down more guns that the entire planet including the US military combined and that include VERY large caliber weapons that will deal damage to armored vehicles and tanks. And in an all out war scenario building and deploying explosives would be a thing
And the carrier numbers will be different as well considering the fact that they are coming out with the new Gerald R Ford class carriers replacing the current nimitz-class carriers which is a nimitz-class carriers can still be used cuz they're still top-of-the-line compared to 90% of the country's out there
You all need to watch the 1983 film “War Games”, made when the Cold War with the Soviet Union was a real concern. It’s entertaining with a great message at the end. Spoiler alert: “The only winning move is not to play.”
"Keep your friends close and your enemies closer." If you view everyone as a potential enemy this statement makes much more sense. Especially thinking of those that have formidable military measures and/or strategic positions.
Beesley I’ve seen you react to Army and Marine basic training and some of these US vs. __________ videos and I’ve really enjoyed your reactions. I’m wondering if you have seen the video “The First Medal of Honor ever recorded?” The Medal of Honor is the United States government's highest and most prestigious military decoration that may be awarded to recognize American Soldiers, Sailors, Marines, Airmen, Space Force Guardians, and Coast Guardsmen who have distinguished themselves by acts of valor. There have only been 3,507 awarded 618 being awarded posthumously. The video is taken by drone and records the entire event. What the video captures is a type of bravery that few can say they have and even fewer have ever seen. I hope you can find the time to react to this video.

The biggest thing infographics forgot, Is that America is the third-largest food producer in the world.

Hey we also have Railguns mounted on ships and anti-air Lazer beams. I don't think anybody thought of these. It a bird its Ironman Its Captain Marvel No its a burning plane falling into the sea!!!
I was born and raised in the U.S. and most of my family has served in the armed forces. As it stands the U.S. has no need to do this also with our current president I don't think we can launch a war on that scale because unfortunately, our president is not fully there he has the mental ability of a 6-year-old. I have no idea how he was voted it. Please send prayers!!!
Not even close. Our commander in chief regardless of political party could easily defend our country and take over the world in the short run. Republicans are short sighted as most conservatives have been for centuries
I believe theres a version of this kind of video where the us defends only from it's homeland. That one was even more interesting to me considering the amount of civilians with guns on top of the military.
All the US army did in this was Protect the homeland and take over Canada and venezuela (and that may have been the marines). One whole major branch of our military hardly did anything and it would still be a win.
I know America isn't perfect, it's scary for a single nation to have this much power, and we've had our questionable motives in past conflicts, but I think we've been pretty responsible with this power.. Could you imagine if North Korea or Iran or any other dictatorship, had this type of power??
Im gonna be honest watching this i had one thing in my mind, "Don't grovel". Don't beg to be a friend or an ally. Make yourself a friend or ally. Have a spine and you'll find yourself with american respect.
I'm an American without one drop of English blood in me but yet England is a close relative I never see a Time when my America doesn't stand with our English cousins and that means the entire empire.

In answer to your comment around 23:00 about 30 being maybe short, maybe long as far as a war goes, it's both. 30 days is FOREVER when you're trying to defend a position. When taking a fortified position, 30 days is decently fast. Not amazingly fast, but workable. As far as how it would work out, I'm firmly of the opinion that depending on the size of the country, the military spending of said country, and the research and development of weapons programs there, it's likely that any modern nation is hiding between 10 and 50% of its true military strength, so it's hard to guess for certain. As others brought up, though, these numbers are all the current (for the video's timeframe) militaries. In an actual wartime, the numbers would significantly shift upwards as drafts and conscriptions increased in the rest of the world. The US however has a significant amount of troops available for recall, as well as a large percentage of the population being familiar with the use of firearms. This video mentioned the Air Force, the Navy, and in limited amounts the Army and the Coast Guard. There's also the Marines, the National Guard, and the Reserves of various branches to consider. In the end though, he's right in that the Naval capabilities are really what would clinch a victory. The US doesn't own all the land by any means, but if we want to we pretty much CAN own the water, at least for a significant amount of time. It's definitely a tossup on some fronts, for instance the population factor. If it really came down to throwing numbers at each other, there's a LOT more people in China and India than the US, but how does population stack up against weapons availability/training, and tech gaps? Can you kill a tank by throwing enough people at it? This video is likely correct in a broad overview, but there's a large amount of nuance that isn't mentioned. Sorry for the novel.
Vladimir Putin said it best.
"The United States is best left alone"
He was asked if Russia could fight off a United States military invasion.
His response was simply "For how long?"
He went on to say " The United States fought Afghanistan for nearly 20 years and it nearly bankrupted the Soviet Union, not only Afghanistan but Iraq as well"
He further elaborated that. "You have to ask yourself one question"
"What could the United States gain from such an operation ,that they don't already have or can't get?"

In a USA v World situation, considering a loss would likely result in the end of this country, I could totally see our Army unleashing a plethora of experimental weapons that are not known to the public. I can’t imagine the insane weaponry they have come up within this age of tech.
Don’t even need all that. Our current weapons are about a decade ahead of the world.
Word up bro . the U S Marines have been training with anti-ship missiles in preparation for an island hopping conflict with China in the pacific for sometime now . also in the Atlantic I E the Azores and Iceland , ect . everyone discounts the Marines saying they are outdated . nothing could be further from the truth . the old climb down the cargo net into the landing craft and get shot to hell on the way to the beach days are sssssooooo long gone .

The US does have an empire, just not one in a classical sense. We don't directly rule over other countries, sure, but the rest of the world is completely incapable of ignoring anything we do. Media, entertainment, values, all the things that makes us American is globally emulated or despised. "Westernization" is a real thing, and the North Star of it is the United States. The US doesn't need to launch a global offensive and take the world by force, all we need to do is simply look like the best bet, and the world will follow.
The United States ironically doesn't like war. Sure, some elements in the framework do, for various reasons, but war is bad business. If the goal is to conquer all, wouldn't the easiest way be to simply convince people that our way is better?
Destroying a persons country with violence, or enticing them to convert to our ideals, the end result is the same. A lot fewer bodies though. Such a task requires an image of invulnerability to pull off though...

And that we already know that the US has "experimental" railguns that can punch through solid steel from miles away, that probably means we have railguns that are by no means experimental and are fully functional.

At this moment I watch this, there's a super transport stuck sideways in the Suez Canal, and they're unsure how long it's going to take to open it up, backing up traffic in both directions. Imagine how much harder that task would be if it was actually sunk in that position.
And if we had military assets there to make it harder if not impossible to unblock it. Or if they did unblock it, how easily we could reblock it.
@@proudamerican183 all it would take is a couple tomahawks launched from 80 miles away to stop them from attempting for a bit. A couple million to stop billions from going through, small price, especially since it's already spent.

Actually, that would probably make the task easier. It was hard because they were trying so hard to not damage the ship. If it's already sunk, just high explosive the crap out of it send in a few dredgers and clear the lane. Would have been done in a week or less.
This is completely an academic (fictional) scenario because of nuclear weapons. It would never play out this way. Many countries like Israel, Pakistan, and even North Korea know that they do not have the capability to fight a large force, or take the war to their opponent far across the seas. There capabilities are strictly defensive. Their survival strategy has long been developing nuclear weapons as a deterrent.
He is correct in that the US alone (with is huge naval transport fleet) has the ability to transport (and protect) massive amounts of troops and equipment to anywhere in the world that they are needed. And because the US is so far away from the other major powers like China, India and Europe any attempts to bring large numbers of ships (troops and equipment) toward the US would be spotted and attacked long before reaching our shores.
I served in the US Navy for 6 years and can attest to its extremely high levels of operational readiness. After all, we have been the most active military around the globe for over 50 years. Especially the NAVY. The Navy spends billions practicing and preparing for every scenario that we are likely to face. And this is unlikely scenario that can be dreamed of. The US without Britain?? Never!! Rest easy Bees. 👍👍👍
I think the lesson is, we also have the most money spent on charities and humanitarian aid all over the world. Very few countries in history have had might and humanitarian aid to this degree.

For Fiscal Year 2020 the Department of Defense's budget authority is approximately $721.5 billion ($721,531,000,000).The 2020 defense bill provided $738 billion for the military.
That included $146 billion for a broad laundry list of military hardware, to include $1.87 billion for 98 F-35 aircraft and eight F-15EX aircraft to recapitalize the F-15C/D fleet.

Without going into detail, runways aren't a major necessity for US military aircraft now, as a lot of newer fighters are capable of vertical takeoff. Only need for a runway is landing, so very little bottle-necking in getting aircraft off the ground.

I think it's important to note that there are a lot of Christians in the US military. That being said, regardless of the reason a lot of them would not want to be a part of the war. That would cause a lot of internal conflict. Another issue is experience. Right now, the US military does not have a major conflict. Some people think that the US is trying to force its way into needless wars but I don't feel that way. I am a Christian, that doesn't change the fact that the US is always trying to be prepared by being involved in things it doesn't need to be involved in. I'm not saying I agree with it I just understand. A lot of the other militaries don't have the experience that we do because they just not involved in anything.
The United States isn't 12th in oil reserves anymore. It's first.
Thanks Donald
Let's not forget electronic warfare which would effectively dismantle almost any communication aside from smoke signals.
This shows that our Navy dominates with active units. I'd imagine that in a USA vs The World war our inactive BATTLESHIPS (the ships that Vietnam feared so much they wouldn't come to the peace talks until the ships left the area) would be reactivated. Those monsters could destroy cities from over the horizon.
Before trying to block the canal, they would want to try it first making it look like an accident to see if it was possible.
I think it is funny that this scenario has rules like no nukes, etc. It is a good thing that the US, China, Russia, and India always follow the rules.
Especially during war!
"All's fair in love and war."
Lead through strength and stay safe the same way. Don't think for a minute if China thought they could conquer America it would happen...now and they are putting all the American dollars we spend there right into their military. They are close now on naval strength.
@Red of the Man Agree. Thanks!
They do exist, and without accounting for them when one side gets desperate which is exactly what war does to countries - this is academic.
Complete global destruction would make for a very short and boring video.
I really enjoy the videos!! Being American I was loving the domination lol. We have the same interests and will keep watching you’r videos
Furthermore, the full might of the United States military hasn't been used since WW2.
it is interesting that the first scenario depended a lot on American force located in Iraq and Afghanistan which thankfully we are out of.
Heh, a single oil tanker could shut down the Suez Canal for weeks. That didn’t age well lol. But anyway, love the vids mate! Just found your channel and I’m loving it! Much love to our British folks!
That was a still floating oil tanker... sink 1, or 5... and they'll be much more difficult to remove.
That is due mostly to politics, not ability. We certainly aren’t going to destroy that tanker. If it were war, it would be gone before it caused any problems.
@10:48 and that's not including our 6th generation FA-XX prototypes and B-21 Raider Prototypes, entering the end of testing and beginning of production, Also though Nukes are banned in this simulations, Orbital Kinetic Weapon platforms like Thor are legal, but not mentioned.
The original video is three years old.
@@Thornsfordays ENTERING PRODUCTION, you think the first proto types didn't exist 3 years ago? we've been making the parts for them since 6 years ago. go get job in Americas only manufacturing field, MILITARY, and maybe move out your moms basement.
Have to remember we are also the country that gives the most money to the UN and most of all of our so called allies fly American made planes which we would end support to would this ever happen.
Remember our Spece Force potential has become so big that it now needs its own branch of the military.
We Americans have had unmanned space craft in space orbiting the globe for about 10 years now. The missions usually last about 2 years each. What are they doing up there? What can they do up there? How maneuverable are they? They are shaped like triangles. How many UFO images have you seen shaped like triangles?
It's crazy how everything hinges on oil. Not sure how much longer that'll be the case
It’ll be awhile since shipping boats rely will rely on oil for decades
Yeah oil is so important at the moment and while its trying to be changed it will deffo be a while still!
It will always be the case. Most consumer products we rely on use fossil fuels at some point in the manufacturing process, and not just for energy.
And the replacement will be.... what? Solar? Do a simpler RUclips review. Wind? Takes ~2,000 windmills to equal one, ONE nuclear power plant. I know too much, with good reason. But breakthroughs do occur. I am hoping. I hate the cold, personally. But love the outdoors. Been around. Know way too much. It ain't just oil. It's finding a balance what we CAN and CANNOT do. Personally, I'm a sailor, with sails.
Invading the U.S. is also usually considered impossible just based on the guns owned by civilians per capita. We have over 120 guns per 100 people which far surpasses every other country by at least double. So everyone here is effectively armed. Now, it's not exactly true, because some own none, and some own many. But if invasion were to ever occur, it could be assumed that people would be distributing weapons to friends and family or allies that could aid in repelling. And if our tyrannical government would actually abide by our constitution, many of us would have even more weapons and weapons they have deemed "illegal". And they continue to try to restrict gun ownership. It never works out well for them, as soon as they threaten more restrictions, gun sales soar until it's hard to find what you want. And forget getting .22 long rifle ammo during that time.
I know it's a late commitment but if stuff hits the fan globally, you need to get to the USA to survive.
@Red of the Man Not possible.
ICBM's and nuke subs would launch more and faster than any number of intercept missiles could catch.
The result would be the surviving nations/population to survive whatever the fallout/radiation would be in targeted areas.
If we even could do that depending on how lethal new weapons capabilities are.
Then the question of contaminated food and water sources available to survivors.
Any true and blue nucleur warfare attack would be the end of what we call civilization.
to get some insight of some of the ground forces i suggest watching the fat electrician here on you tube. he offers a brief explanation of the typs of troups that could be stationed on any of the battlegroups. i do recommend paying attention to what he states about marines.
The fact America evern has a chance in this war and could win is amazing to me
Honestly, I thank God, even though I'm agnostic every day because as an American we genuinely live in a very free and peaceful society when we're not trying to kill each other. LOL
I remember reading somewhere in a modern American history book that the biggest threat to America is other Americans.
@Red of the Man Even when the cities gutted they keep voting the same. Look at Detroit and Baltimore for example.
@Red of the Man I love how you blame one party when the 1700s party (repuglicants) don't progress they take us back in time but that's besides the point both parties are the same two headed dragon not working or thinking about what's best for us citizens but for their pockets. Stop fighting each other and stand together as one get rid of this party system and vote for the person not the party they stand for. I vote for American interests not a party! Everyone who runs ruins it for me they always wanna blame the other party and not point blame at the us gov who controls the us president puppet who's in office at the time. Go USA 🇺🇸 ❤🤍💙 we can conquer the divide and the gov bc it's not we the so and so party it's
WE THE PEOPLE !
@Red of the Man two sides of the same coin man. Doesn't matter what side lands up, the coin is still worth the same, and the value is not worth shit. Republicans have moved so far from what they are supposed to be they are unrecognizable. Democrats are the same as the Republicans in being unrecognizable. The two party system is nothing but a con game. Depending on your beliefs you vote for whichever party even if you don't like the candidate. The lesser of two evils mentality. The two parties have a strangle hold on elections making anyone else running irrelevant. The illusion of choice is just that, an illusion. It's all carefully orchestrated so the ruling class remains intact. Some of us want better choices than the same old shit with a different face that we have now.
@Red of the Man I participate just fine thank you. I also don't vote for a candidate more than twice. I'm fully behind forcing term limits with my vote, and I definitely research them looking for fresh new people that haven't had time yet to make politics a career. So no I'm not an uniformed blind voter. I also don't bury my head in the sand and blindly follow a party line. And both parties are so far beyond trash it isn't even funny. If you don't like my analogy I don't really care, because both parties have screwed up enough they should be permanently banned.
💜Awesome reaction video! America is Great! We're #1!! Unstoppable!😂🙂💜
If the US military defense somehow fails and the enemy reaches the homeland, prepare to face 300+ million armed citizens lol.
They would have No chance against air attacks and armored ground troops. And the morality of the US would be exteemely low.
@@Jacob-Simonsen not so fast. Aren't you forgetting one rather large group of people in that 300+ who know exactly how to defeat such things?
@@Jacob-Simonsen Armored ground attacks will not be an issue. Planes and Jets will be an issue as I have no surface to air missiles laying around. Luckily I would assume nearly the entire planet's supply of fighter air craft would be lost in the military war so that by the time anyone invaded US soil they would be facing down more guns that the entire planet including the US military combined and that include VERY large caliber weapons that will deal damage to armored vehicles and tanks. And in an all out war scenario building and deploying explosives would be a thing
And the carrier numbers will be different as well considering the fact that they are coming out with the new Gerald R Ford class carriers replacing the current nimitz-class carriers which is a nimitz-class carriers can still be used cuz they're still top-of-the-line compared to 90% of the country's out there
You all need to watch the 1983 film “War Games”, made when the Cold War with the Soviet Union was a real concern. It’s entertaining with a great message at the end. Spoiler alert: “The only winning move is not to play.”
Deep as a puddle.
One other thing too is we're already in the sixth generation of planes too but just not heavily deployed
Imagine having a demented President 😱
Whenever you say "good thing we're friends" I say "just don't step out of line" hehe kidding.
Don't worry the UK would just become the 51st state.
Nah. Most likely they would become the 60th state give or take a couple.
😂
"Keep your friends close and your enemies closer."
If you view everyone as a potential enemy this statement makes much more sense. Especially thinking of those that have formidable military measures and/or strategic positions.
Bro just subscribed you need to react to more AFL vids
Another coming tonight after a nba video :D port adelaide v adelaide showdown 44
I'm fairly sure we could do it with only 5 attack subs and wait 90 days for the global strategic reserve to run dry.
Beesley I’ve seen you react to Army and Marine basic training and some of these US vs. __________ videos and I’ve really enjoyed your reactions. I’m wondering if you have seen the video “The First Medal of Honor ever recorded?” The Medal of Honor is the United States government's highest and most prestigious military decoration that may be awarded to recognize American Soldiers, Sailors, Marines, Airmen, Space Force Guardians, and Coast Guardsmen who have distinguished themselves by acts of valor. There have only been 3,507 awarded 618 being awarded posthumously. The video is taken by drone and records the entire event. What the video captures is a type of bravery that few can say they have and even fewer have ever seen. I hope you can find the time to react to this video. I’m sure doing these reactions and trying to fulfill everyone’s requests isn’t that easy. I’ve watched many others react to this video and as hard as it is to watch it’s something everyone should see. Cheers.

Im glad you are enjoying mate! Not seen that one before will deffo check it out!
@@TheBeesleys99 it’s such an amazing video with great narration so you know exactly what’s going on throughout the operation. I wish I could share it with everyone so they would know the true meaning of heroism but I don’t have the reach you have. You’ve built this great following by putting out great videos of you being you and sharing it with us. Thanks again for giving me something enjoyable to do in my down time. Cheer’s.
The biggest thing infographics forgot, Is that America is the third-largest food producer in the world. Cutting off global trade Lanes means that most countries like Europe who do not produce enough food for their entire populace or the Middle East, or God forbid Africa, they'll starve before they run out of oil.
Military warfare is unnecessary when psychological warfare is much more effective and already began years ago.
Sure. "Please?" Works every time, wait........You are loathesome....
We. Are. Legion!! 🇺🇸 With the new upgraded USS Gerald R. Ford looking like something from a Pacific Rim movie, we continue to advance.
In the end, no one wins.
"The Last Ship". I read it. Did you? Knowledge is power. I have very little power, and don't care. But you are lacking in knowledge. That is depressing. But the others, they don't consider reality They rationalize conquest.
Hey we also have Railguns mounted on ships and anti-air Lazer beams. I don't think anybody thought of these. It a bird its Ironman Its Captain Marvel No its a burning plane falling into the sea!!!
I was born and raised in the U.S. and most of my family has served in the armed forces. As it stands the U.S. has no need to do this also with our current president I don't think we can launch a war on that scale because unfortunately, our president is not fully there he has the mental ability of a 6-year-old. I have no idea how he was voted it. Please send prayers!!!
Yeah the local preschool could out thin the current president in war
Not even close. Our commander in chief regardless of political party could easily defend our country and take over the world in the short run. Republicans are short sighted as most conservatives have been for centuries
I believe theres a version of this kind of video where the us defends only from it's homeland. That one was even more interesting to me considering the amount of civilians with guns on top of the military.
All the US army did in this was Protect the homeland and take over Canada and venezuela (and that may have been the marines). One whole major branch of our military hardly did anything and it would still be a win.
I know America isn't perfect, it's scary for a single nation to have this much power, and we've had our questionable motives in past conflicts, but I think we've been pretty responsible with this power..
Could you imagine if North Korea or Iran or any other dictatorship, had this type of power??
Im gonna be honest watching this i had one thing in my mind, "Don't grovel". Don't beg to be a friend or an ally. Make yourself a friend or ally. Have a spine and you'll find yourself with american respect.
He was joking not groveling! Please get a sense of humor! 🙁
@@imatubewatcha Joke or not, my point stands.
I'm an American without one drop of English blood in me but yet England is a close relative I never see a Time when my America doesn't stand with our English cousins and that means the entire empire.

Ahaha love that!
Views by people with adblock don't register as views with youtube. The "views" only counts those who've watched without adblock, so it's very easy to get more likes than views.
I believe overall it wouldn’t be as easy but a win win in the end for America because we don’t back down nor cower in the face of adversity! We’re the nicest people overall but accepted the responsibility to provide world security and we take it seriously!
Fun fact Canada has never lost a war.
I mean, unlike most modern nations, Canada has never fought a war on its own either. Easy to talk tough when they have the Americans, British and NATO providing the military power for the war they are in.
@@shibboleth5768 I agree that Canada couldn’t win a war by it self but In the wars that Canada has helped in. They were some of the best soldiers. But yes you are correct. Also it was me just letting him know a fun fact. 👍
Ummm hello, war of 1812
@@raven2795 we didn’t lose
@@raven2795 sorry I didn’t understand at first but yes your right we did win a war by ourselves
In answer to your comment around 23:00 about 30 being maybe short, maybe long as far as a war goes, it's both. 30 days is FOREVER when you're trying to defend a position. When taking a fortified position, 30 days is decently fast. Not amazingly fast, but workable.
As far as how it would work out, I'm firmly of the opinion that depending on the size of the country, the military spending of said country, and the research and development of weapons programs there, it's likely that any modern nation is hiding between 10 and 50% of its true military strength, so it's hard to guess for certain. As others brought up, though, these numbers are all the current (for the video's timeframe) militaries. In an actual wartime, the numbers would significantly shift upwards as drafts and conscriptions increased in the rest of the world. The US however has a significant amount of troops available for recall, as well as a large percentage of the population being familiar with the use of firearms. This video mentioned the Air Force, the Navy, and in limited amounts the Army and the Coast Guard. There's also the Marines, the National Guard, and the Reserves of various branches to consider. In the end though, he's right in that the Naval capabilities are really what would clinch a victory. The US doesn't own all the land by any means, but if we want to we pretty much CAN own the water, at least for a significant amount of time. It's definitely a tossup on some fronts, for instance the population factor. If it really came down to throwing numbers at each other, there's a LOT more people in China and India than the US, but how does population stack up against weapons availability/training, and tech gaps? Can you kill a tank by throwing enough people at it? This video is likely correct in a broad overview, but there's a large amount of nuance that isn't mentioned.
Sorry for the novel.
