@@S0reana It can end one of two ways:
1. You are successful and have war declared on you and your homeland. Then proceed to get pounded into submission.
2. You fail and get rocked in the sea.
Either way it won't end well.....
@@S0reana that was more than 75 years ago things work differently now mate especially with the threat of nuclear warfare
@Ya Armoon yeah but that is not always the case mate today there is alot more at risk and we could wipe each other from the face of the earth within a click of a button. History will only repeat for the dumbasses who cant learn from it and try to change it
@Miller Time The bottom line is sinking a US Aircraft Carrier - or even attempting to - is one of the dumbest things you could ever do as a nation. Not only would you get the full force of the largest Navy and military in the world, but their allies as well. Do you not think a great many nations would absolutely LOVE to sink an American Carrier? There's a reason none of them try.
Attacking a US Aircraft Carrier is right up there in the same league as trying to invade Russia. During winter.
I love how unbiased and logical this channel is
China: Attacking, and sinking a US ship will get them to back down.
Japan: 🤣
Germany: 🤣
UK: 🤣
Spain: 🤣
France: 🤣
Vietnam: 🤣
Barbary Pirates: 🤣
Spoilers: Unless you're Israel, attacking US ships/sailors tends to just make things worse for you.
America even can't product navy ship by themselves, a lot of components are even imported from China now, how can they be like what they used to ww2? Role should be reversed, and China should be likely play a role like what america used to in WW2.
@@jonathanryan9946 Nope dude, things is not always as simple as you supposed to.

@John Smith China's HSN have been confirmed dysfunctional and still prototype. Ours on the other hand...already mass produced and waiting for china to fuck up.
If the U.S. considers retaliation against Iran for the destruction of a drone, would things go as far as a declaration of war for the sinking of a carrier by China?
With the extreme loss of aircraft, manpower, force projection and morale. You can be assured that the US would start leveling every Air and Naval base in the region. Carriers are the main weapon of US force projection from the sea, able to hit anywhere the water touches. So it makes complete sense that China and Russia would do everything to sink them.
I think it was Obama that said that attacking an american carrier is the same as attacking the american mainland that the US would respond in kind.
That parody of a country will never openly declare war again, just put spin on it until the day it dies
@@pew-pew2224 a carrier actually is US soil officially. And it's alot more expensive then your average piece of soil (and much better defended)
Zach Burkey sinking a carrier is suicide. Sinking the carrier doesn’t stop missiles from flying from the group’s destroyers and it certainly doesn’t stop retaliation from subs.
Just wanted to express my gratitude to you for making these videos!
China: Let’s just sink there aircraft carrier to stop them from trespassing and take out there naval dominancy in the region.
Japan: hey I’ve seen this one before!
Japan : yeah been there , done that , it never works
Japan: Great idea, doesn't work.

As a citizen of Latvia, I would like to comment that the escallation in the baltic region in the last few years had a spike in possible millitary action around the time of the invasion of crimea, but has steadily declined since then. Due to NATO support the Latvian population is much safer than before, and the threat of violence has been minimized.

@@grubbybum3614 He may not know of the US EMP cruise missiles. They can fly out following TERCOM and strike numerous targets. The USAF tested it out. Works good, decade old tech.
@Advocatus Diaboli Don't worry the US is perfectly capable of defeating Iran.
@@87aggietim Please elaborate - what's the definition of defeat? After the cruise missiles, and bunker-busters, then what?
5:20 The 'promise' towards the Soviet Union not to expand Nato eastwards past Germany is an urban myth! At that time the Warsaw Pact was still in existence and nobody ever considered it falling apart. Gorbachev himself confirmed this in an interview.
It’s also an often overlooked detail that in 1992 Russia actually went and formed their very own version of NATO called the CTSO and was busy trying to expand that westward into Europe, and South into the Caucasus and Asia. However most of the counties approached by Moscow didn’t want a thing to do with Russia anymore and refused completely (e.g. Ukraine and the Baltic’s) and then promptly started requesting to join NATO instead to get away from Russian encroachment.
Ironically, this video made me think of an old Chinese (maybe) curse: 'may you live in interesting times'.
Do we not?
I'm pretty sure I got that in a fortune cookie once. Lol
It says "... In times of change". But still true.
It is a made in USA Chinese saying. We here in China have tried very hard to find its Chinese origin but failed without any clue.
But it makes sense.
"may you live in interesting times" is a phrase used in a Terry Pratchett book if i recall correctly, but the point is still on point.
China: gets declared war on by the US after bombing a US ship
Japan: First time?
@SoundHysteria Sounds familiar
@SoundHysteria Won't it boost economy since all the jobs are back in american people's hands in that case? Isn't that where the trade war is currently going with China's growth slowing down and US booming? Just asking.
@SoundHysteria Once USN cuts off the East China sea, they will all starve. America need not invade, China is ripe for a revolution now. lose a carrier, and we will sink everything they have. Why does Asia always see us as weak, and will just back down? THAAD may not be that great, but it maybe good enough against China.
@SoundHysteria that's exactly what happened, and China released Corona virus knowing it would destroy the US economy.
@SoundHysteria an aircraft carrier is essential a floating town.
If China killed 2000+ service men and women, and took out the most expensive miliatary hardware we have, yes it would be nuclear war.
No sanctions. Both sides would be annihilated.
China: If we just sink an aircraft carrier the US has to surrender!
Japan: Good idea, doesn't work.
The US: Did ya ever hear about us not paying our debt back to hostile nations?

Overall a good analysis of war sceaneros on two fronts and worth watching
Sinking a US carrier wouldn't give us the idea to stay out of the area. It would bring another 5 US carriers, deploying a total of 450 strike aircraft, as well as landing craft filled with US Marines to say, "I'm glad you build these islands for us, thanks. See you soon!"
Not to mention the skies would be somewhat obscured with numerous bombers, not to drop bombs, yes, but also you know we're there.

@@pacus123 I think you ought to read more about China's nuclear doctrine. They aren't Pakistan or North Korea or the Soviet Union, China has only a handful of nuclear weapons in comparison to the US, they don't consistently build up their stockpile and their only stated use is to defend the existence of the Chinese state i.e. the CCP, so you're an absolute madman if you think that China would use the couple hundred nuclear weapons they have in a retaliatory attack on artificial islands just off their own coast. I mean the radiation would do so much more damage to them than to a small deployment of Marines sent to take the islands, your imagination is large but your sense of logistics leaves much to be desired.
I guess those artificial islands are also resistant to typhoons?
Hahaha, I thought the same... I have seen sea banks disappear in hurricanes.
yes，the Chinese one does and other countries extension just vanish.

As I am from Latvia, I am happy that the last decades have given us opportunity to choose our alliances, our values and our way of life. If not for the huge push and successful joining of EU and NATO, Georgia and Ukraine stuff would have happened here for sure. Living under a russian hammer, controlled by their corrupt gang type of influence, with restricted freedoms is pretty bad, which we have suffered quite alot in the past. Funny how for Federation of Russia, if you no longer can go to your neighbors, send 10% of their population off to die, steal everything, pollute their environment and generally make every aspect of existence bad, it is considered a threat to their state. I am not saying that the fate of 5 million people in Baltics is something worth doing the third war for, but for now the second generation of people here are living free and making their own life, which is great!
Toms Dreika you and I both hope Latvia stays free.
I can’t help but see some conflict in the future, in which Russia attempts drastic measures.
I stand weary of support from NATO. I do hope their end of the bargain is held.

Awful objection.
Latvia is in Europe. And second, most Latvians move outside of Europe, in hopes for a better future, not Americans moving to Latvia. And our Parliament is kinda bein hijacked by Russia.
And to address cleaning toilets? Not sure where that came from. But if you were going for; “Latvians and other balts put hard work into what they do, no matter what, and do it with pride.”
Then damn boy. You hit the nail on the head. There are plenty of unpleasant jobs, and I bet you we’d do it better.
Certainly a better system than anything offered to us previously too. Move up the totem pole with hard work. Thanks for the 1UP American dream. Helping millions of immigrants since.. day one! Seems like capitalism has provided us well.

Its like controlled by Russian gang or American corporates. Nothing comes free.
You're nothing but a US puppet. That's all you are. They have you under their thumb and you don't even know it.
Also you do realize Russia is one of Latvia's main trading partners, right? I guess you have chosen your alliances well after all! LOL!
Baltic States are not "East/Eastern European". It's a separate category of Northern European countries. However it is in close proximity with Eastern Europe.

@@usaisthebestiockdownpoiice816 I wholeheartedly agree with your sentiment. The lack of unity and fortitude in the face of an opponent has been a recurring problem in our nation's history. Throughout our history we have continually undermined and sold out our own countrymen's efforts. Be it during the Spanish, American, or Japanese period we have time and time again failed the test of war and only under another nation's leadership have we ever truly succeeded.
It is a shameful problem and more so painful when viewed from inside a society and powerless to do anything about it. Even now it seems our president has sold out our sovereignty in exchange for political and economic interests with the Chinese. America, Vietnam, and so many other countries have proven time and time again they can unite together and stand for themselves. Yet, it seems that for us, our backs shall always be broken in servitude.

philippines must try to continue the mutual defence treaty with the US. if this doesnt work, then work with india and russia instead. india is a big rival of china, and struck a deal with the vietnamese to drill for gas in vietnam. philippines can also do the same. russia plans on selling china more gas. china does not have much alternatives when it comes to oil and gas because its production is very low. this puts russia in a good position against china. this is one of the reasons(but not the only one)why china wants south east asia, because that region has natural gas. now, if philippines strikes a deal with india or russia, those two countries can help philippines get gas in its western territories. filipino workers will earn money, philippines can stockpile gas, and china cant do anything. india has territorial disputes with china, and the chinese have been known for stealing russian technology. both india and russia will be eager to construct gas rigs for philippines. russian companies want to earn money too because of western sanctions. if philippines has the money, things will work out. if philippines does not have money, well, work harder and things can still work out. also, making a military alliance with malaysia and vietnam will be a good idea. getting air and naval defences from russia will also be good. russia actually plans on selling more brahmos missiles to india and vietnam. both india and vietnam have territorial disputes with china. if you cant get fancy stuff like s-300s, then get patriots from america. if you dont have money, work harder and improvise. even old defences like KUB and patriots can still be effective if you prioritise important cities. strengthen your economy and secure energy supplies. make a strong enough military to act as a deterrent. you can still retake your territories without firing a single shot. you just need to work harder. compared to philippines, korea went through hell just to get independence from japan. vietnam went through hell fighting three superpowers. india also went through hell in the numerous conflicts with pakistan. but look at all those countries. they are much stronger than philippines in almost every way possible. even north and south korea is better protected than philippines. also, dont feel too powerless. spread good ideas and reach out to other people. if you play it smart, anyone can become useful.

Appeasement will never stop expansionists. It didn't work 80 years ago and most certainly won't work now. A bold line must be drawn.
Perhaps my method is too aggressive, however only time will tell if that is true.
Appeasement didn't work with Hitler and it is not working with Putin.
When will the West realise that passivity is seen as weakness by these tyrants.
The West constantly needs to keep the pimp hand strong with these mofos.
You're right.
For too long, consecutive US administrations have been appeased, only to take us into false flag wars for oil,..
As the video says,..it cuts both ways.
@@threethrushes Putin is not a tyrant. He is protecting his country from Nato aggression. Putin is a more conservative president than all previous 10 US presidents..
Unfortunately, it does cut both ways. The US has been appeased by most of the world, by invading Middle Eastern Countries to "Spread Democracy" and "Freedom". While we look at Russia and think "Russia evil Empire looking to expand", look at Russia. Russia sees US interventions across the world, invading and deposing leaders whenever it suits their agenda, and they think "Tit for Tat, or they'll come for us next". The West sees Russia as evil, although with Crimea, I can let slide due to various factors, but Russia sees NATO and America as expansionists of a different stripe.
And tbh, although Russia would prefer the Baltics out of NATO, they get nothing out of invasion. The Social Security and maintenance of two to three countries would kill their economy, which is only starting to move on from Sanctions and Oil Crash.
China is a different beast. China is playing the long game and their form of expansionism is far more dangerous than Russias ever was. They play the long game that Democracy's and Western Countries can't match. Slow economic annexation, slow border expansions, creeping forces. If China isn't neutered, then the US WILL lose it's position as the Number 1 Superpower. Russia will never, and has no intentions as a people, to be Number 1. China wants to be Number 1.
Nice analysis, but I think you are missing out the Gulf. It has been a tinder box for years, is vital strategically and the US is more likely to view a conflict there as being able to be contained regionally, rather than spiraling into an all-out superpower war. That’s not to say that it wouldn’t be messy.
Yeah it's only a matter of time before there's another war in the ME, but as you say it will very likely be contained within the region since the US is the only global power which can fight there.
The reason why Trump is likely to start a new war in the Middle East is quite simple. He along with the rest of the American deep state are Zionist puppets and have overall Israeli interests at hart. First Iraq then Syria now Iran.
Nice job...keep this info coming...very interesting..if ude like to do something on Iran and the recent attacks on oil tankers and US drone by all means we all would like to hear ur take..thanks..
This is a very good channel.
im in Australia and seeing all this aggression towards each other in the comments is just sad.. you are all the reason we have war, we are all humans, we are all the same, dont let 'Great leaders' tell you otherwise.

China:*threatens to sink a is super carrier*
Japan: we did that I WW2 trust me you don't wanna try it
so true. and what many forget..japan was that time the super power on sea and lost hard again the usa
@@sebs.3917 Except Japan was not that superpower. The basic reason why they started the war in the pacific was to acquire more resources. You don't have resources, you don't win wars. So they were doomed from the start.
With China, we might see a different story. First of all, we are 75 years apart from what the theater of war looked back then. Right now, it takes 1 or 2 missile to put a carrier out for good. And missiles have the same range as an airplane. Especially Russian and Chinese, which are now developing hypersonic weapons as well.
Las but not least, building a carrier has become much more different than it was in WW2
@@christiansartorio3645 true
As a longtime student of Chinese history and government who keeps a close eye on all developments related to China, and keeps in touch with westerners living and working in China, I am not at all worried about a serious military confrontation between the US and China. There are many troubling developments from China in recent years, and they are going to seem very dangerous, and may even be very dangerous, over the next 5-10 years, but these are the dying spasms of a failing government losing control over its population. 15 years from now, there will be a very different government in China. They'll look a lot like Russia immediately after the collapse of the Soviet Union, and their economy will be in absolute ruin. The real danger to global security will be Chinese generals trying to sell weapons and weapons technology on the black market.
This isn't to say the US should not do everything it can to make China think military conflict would be utterly disastrous to them. We absolutely must show them nothing but firm resolve, and develop and deploy the weapon systems necessary to stay ahead of China militarily. The resulting arms race will not only help keep the peace, but also accelerate China's collapse, much in the way the arms race was ruinous to the Soviet Union. In addition to the arms race, the economic warfare becoming conducted by President Trump on China, which may escalate, is certainly causing major companies all around the world to second-guess any plans at investment or expansion in China, and may soon cause many to pull out (private investment in China is already dropping rapidly).
It's also comforting to know that since China and the US are both major nuclear powers, neither side has any interest in actual war. That is why the two countries have been engaged in economic warfare, instead. The US was a bit slow to notice what China was doing, but that has certainly changed and now both sides are playing to win, with the US having a significant advantage in that fight.
As for the Baltics, I am unfortunately not so well informed about Russia, other than the general idea that Russia's international relations have always centered around two concepts. One, they are quite far north and cold, and have always desired secure warm water ports so they can trade in winter. Two, they are utterly paranoid about being invaded again, especially with their capital so close to where they've always been invaded from. I think both of these concerns are becoming a lot less serious as things change and the situation evolves.
Personally I view Putin much like a Hitler-type leader, a man who was a young soldier at the time his nation was defeated, and felt the leadership at the time betrayed his nation, and he's been determined ever since to make his nation strong again at any cost. In Putin's case, he was a KGB officer, not a soldier in WW1, and his nation was the USSR instead of Germany. I don't think he's a person we can ever really be friends with, because he is driven by paranoia and a sense of vengeance.
Hopefully, when Putin is finally out of the way, Russia can rejoin the normal community of nations. It's rather sad what happened to Russia over the last century and change. It was said, before the October Revolution (I think much before), that Russia and the United States were essentially sibling nations, destined to, together in peace, lead the world. I hope to live to see the day that Russia, under a new leader, joins NATO, and works with the rest of the West to confront threats in the Middle East and Southeast Asia. I can think of absolutely no reason why Russia and the US could not or should not be allies. The two nations have far, far more in common than they have differences. The two peoples have no reason to hate one another. They could be very successful trade partners, partners in space exploration, and close military allies.
I really can't stand the people who are always trying to pit Russia and the US against each other. Whether it's the military-industrial complex, the media, whatever. Screw those guys. Let's have peaceful partnership, and enjoy our shared destiny as leaders of the world and beyond.
I was reminded that this comment section was gonna be filled with people who act like military strategists who think that they know everything about warfare and tactics, but it seems that I found an exception. Very well said, I couldn't find another comment as logical yet optimistic as yours.
Well this video was utterly terrifying
I like your Videos very much but a greater variety of music would be greatly appreciated 😋
Hey, mate, regarding your map. Crimea is a temporary occupied territory, so it is wrong to paint is in the same color as Russia. It should be either depicted as a part of Ukraine or with some neutral color.

I'm interested in doing a masters on the Baltic situation.
I agree fully on the sense that Russia would easily win a quick conflict and that NATO would be essentially powerless to do anything without risk of nuclear or any other WMD form of conflict. I think what you fail to mention on top of your reasons at the start is Russia's other motives such as the EU's role in addition to what you said about NATO. More importantly though, Russia needs a larger population to fix their struggling economy as the hydrocarbon market isn't working for them anymore to the extent that it did in Putin's first term. Taking those Baltic states would provide a quick boost to the economy. Another interesting area to look at is the EEU and SCO and how Russia and China will work together in future to destabilise this unipolar system we seem to be in.
I'll have to stop myself from writing about 5000 words here :)
Russia 🇷🇺 is the Third Rome they are going to conquer the whole of Europe AmeriKKKa will be destroyed in Germany 🇩🇪
A good point on which to start your masters would be an analysis of the statistics for the relevant powers. (EU having a much larger headcount and budget)
EU military dwarfs that of Russia, and Russia cannot hope to endure a costly conflict with its biggest export market. (the entire economy of Russia being smaller than just Italy's, let alone the rest of the EU).
Russian citizens are relatively impoverished and would be unwilling to endure the long terms implications of conflict with their more numerous, richer, more powerful neighbor.
Govt collapse and withdrawal due to internal tension, and the mounting body count from an offensive war would be probable.
Additionally EU territory pretty much cuts off Russia from the west/Atlantic.
A quick victory in the Baltics would only be the opening round in a long war (hot or cold) which Russia couldn't hope to win.
@@tedcrilly46 Some good points to think about there thank you.
@@tedcrilly46 Napoleon and Hitler thought the same thing, but see that happened. Yes, Russia can't win an offensive war, but a defensive war can bring any opponent to its knees and Russia could in theory outmanoeuvre a offensive war to a defensive stand
You will fail your thesis if you think Russians are going to get a "quick boost" by invading Baltic nations. I suggest you research how well these Baltic nations have been faring over the last decade or so. They're mostly going backwards economically.

It's kind of ironic, but sometimes you have to more out of your way to know what's going on when you're in the military than a civilian would. You're busy all the time and just focus on your job, and they rarely put things in context for you. That's why I like this channel.

Filipino here... Not only did the Chinese vessel purposely rammed a Filipino Fishing boat while it was anchored, they also left the helpless fishermen to swim for their lives! Such a cowardly act of the Chinese. It was a Vietnamese vessel that helped our fishermen....And the Chinese vessel wasn't even manned by fishermen. The crew was Chinese militia. The territories ins the South China Sea ( AKA West Philippine Sea ) is rightfully ours and Chinese claims are just plainly absurd.

@Somarik Green You really think the people of Hong Kong will side with China if a referendum is held? And the people of Taiwan want to rejoin the mainland but being oppressed by their dictatorial government? Tibetans are happy to lose their land , culture and religion and live under a government who made their own people refugees?
Each every Asian country was invaded, enslaved and looted by Western civilizations for the last 300 years. Now they are free. But China wants to be the big brother and take control of their foreign policy and economy. How is that fair to them? China every now and than starts picking fights over border disagreement with India, Bhutan, Philippines, Malaysia, Brunei, Vietnam, Indonesia, Taiwan. So under your opinion these countries who were ravaged for the past centuries don't deserve sovereignty? There is absolutely no way these democracies (they have their flaws) can not face China on their own, US needs to maintain their presence for peace in this region.
Your entire logic fits exactly what UK , France and US thought just before WWII. Just replace a few words and you will see it. Don't let your White Guilt cloud your judgement. We (I am an Indian) have suffered enough. At least another century is needed to bring prosperity to this region, we can not let another Big Brother bully us.
@@kylegoodman5196 Well sanctions are way more powerful than all out war in todays world. No country in their right mind will choose to fight an US led alliance. Even if that said country manges to flatten a couple of cities and win a battle without losing a few cites of their own, their dictators know upcoming economic turbulence will throw them of the balance. CCP brought economic reforms cuz some thousand students stood up. Cutting the hand that feeds them will end their rule and they can not let that happen. Even Kim Jong Un is not stupid enough to use Nukes.
I was not asking for all out war. If the most powerful navy in the whole world is standing outside your door, you would think thrice before bullying some weaker countries.
