@@johnwray393 Strict father who expects great things from his children, and will send you to time out if you bully others or blemish your image, basically.
I always think of the US and Canada as 2 children of Britain. The US is the elder, rebellious child, and Canada is the dutiful one, but the US is secretly the favorite.
I always thought of it more as half siblings with a large age difference. Like they had the same father, but the US had a much later and younger mother from a second marriage.
Dude, when you said, “Bro, the US might as well just be our daddy!” That was one of the funniest, most genuine, statements of realization that has ever been recorded. I’m down here in Texas and have spent hours and hours watching you react to all this USA stuff. Been enjoying the hell out it! But that statement you just made, was the best. Keep it up bud!

@@falconhoward4032 Who told you universal healthcare systems are lower-quality than our own? Or that they're more expensive? There is literally no data supporting either of those claims. Folks in countries with universal healthcare live longer than we do and have lower rates of death from preventable causes as well as lower infant mortality rates and lower rates of women dying in childbirth. They also pay less money per citizen for healthcare. And I mean TOTAL cost per citizen, taxes + out-of-pocket combined. You'd be saving more on your insurance premiums and out-of-pocket medical bills than you'd be losing in taxes if we switched. Heck I was looking it up the other day and most countries with universal healthcare actually have lower tax rates for the vast majority of citizens than we do. In my income bracket I'd be paying less in Sweden or Norway than I'm paying in the U.S.. That's because in the U.S. we have to pay for all the advertising all the healthcare companies do since they're competing for our money. The pharmaceutical industry spent as much money on advertising as they did on research and development of new treatments last year, and all of that money came out of your prescription drug costs.

you are right. Every generation does have a deal of their time. I grew up in LA but what helps it have so many things that are world changing. This is just my point of view from my life. I am 47 and Marine Corps infantryman vet with now a computer programming background, put more effort into engineering and hardware.. And stuck as a Single Dad ( the stuck part is a joke its the best thing in the world) I give a little so you understand where my point of view comes from. 1# location, LAX and San Pedro, Long beach and Even San Diego. Also Big part is diversity. So many cultures and ideas from not just the USA there. Around the world actually. Kind of a hub for out technology advances. Silicon Valley and some of the greatest start ups in history. IBM, Gateway, Dell, Intel, AMD, and of course Windows. I think back to the 80s and 91 in LA before I left for a few months. Came back and stayed until 93 then left for Kentucky and joined the Marine Corps. Music industry and movies etc. Right? But Again I can not say this enough, so many different nations and ethnic backgrounds. It opened up the flood gates. Internet was military prior to anyone having, ARPNET then IBM did WiFi for merchant servicing. Better known for IEEE but whose going to buy that so hens WiFi... wireless fidelity etc. Play on words for high fidelity. once that shit broke free to the market it was anyone's game, luck and some just being smart. I digress and I am awful at grammar and senescence placement etc. wasn't trying to go nuts here just got excited about the stuff.
5:20 "The U.S ought as well be our daddy, well that's kinda mad". Yeah, it would literally be like if your Child became your Legal Guardian, however it happens a lot when Parents get old though.
The Internet started as a US military research project, to make a communication system that would still work even if some nodes were destroyed in a nuclear war. It connected military sites, research universities, a few big tech companies, and NGOs. In the 80s the government withdrew, and private telecommunication companies replaced the network infrastructure and allowed commercial use. Before the Internet became big in the 90s, the US had several private information services, all incompatible with each other (CompuServe, GEnie, AOL, etc). Without that government project, it might be still like that.
I pledge Allegiance to the flag of the United States of America to the Republic for which it stands One Nation Under God Indivisible and Liberty and Justice for all
A lot of America helping other countries is just the US acting in it's own self interest. Still, ultimately good was done. But that also explains the bad.
The USA is statistically the most generous country in the world. This according to the world giving index. Basically more charity money per capita leaves the usa than any other country.
@@gt5228z honestly I wish America was a little more greedy. Not that I don't like giving away money but we need to focus in our own problems for a little bit.
Bro, say your name in your intro. I have watched dozens of your videos and just now had a moment when I didn't even know your name, even though I know you, your face, and how you think. I think that you are throwing away valuable recognition, I mean, how many people really look at the channel name? Best of luck from the USA, bro.
This might already be in the comments, but thought I would add it just in case. What eventually became the Internet started out as DARPA-net, a Department of Defense government funded research and development project run at first by 4 U.S. universities. The DoD pours a lot of funds into a lot of college and university projects, in addition to giving out huge contracts to private companies. Sometimes they lead nowhere, and sometimes they hit paydirt. DARPA-net eventually became ARPA-net, which eventually became the Internet, which includes things like e-mail and VOIP., not just web sites. Another big thing to come out of U.S. government military spending is GPS. At first, GPS and its satellites was just for the military. But eventually GPS became a product for everyday consumers, and why you can get turn by turn directions to anywhere on your phone. One of the reasons that the DoD can fund such massive long term projects is because of the size and stability of the nation. The DoD can project not only years, but decades into the future to see what taxes the government will most likely collect and spending that will be needed. If you have a huge pile of money that you know is going to be there for the next 30 to 50 years, you can invest in really HUGE projects. Some of the projects that the DoD has been funding over the last decade or so that will most likely see a transition to consumers sooner than later are things like quantum computing and "invisibility cloaks", which are materials placed around objects to help them "disappear" from plain sight. Optics, lasers, batteries.....all that stuff is being researched at U.S. universities that receive money from and work with the DoD, NASA, etc, all across the whole country. Colleges and universities need money, and the military and government needs bright minds.
The Internet began its existence as a project of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is a research and development agency of the United States Department of Defense responsible for the development of emerging technologies for use by the military. It enabled defense related researchers to share information across a secure connection.
I grew up during the cold war so I really haven't looked around to see until recently, that the US is a super power. I also remember some of this with cuba and we were like saving the day again !
I miss B1M reactions. Also, not a lot of people are doing space reactions, so how about SpaceX Starship reactions? It's unique. I'd recommend: - The Everyday Astronaut - Marcus House - The Angry Astronaut - Scott Manley I'd love to see your react to their videos!
This part started with North Korea taking control of the Korean Peninsula like was mentioned in part 1. I don't think this would have happened because the entire Korean peninsula would have still been under control of Japan from WWII. The majority of China and major parts of Indonesian area would also be under Japanese control.
I think it's ironic that Japan tried to stay isolationist, then the US came in and made them trade. But then during WW1 and WW2, the US initially wanted to be isolationist themselves. lol
There are some books you might be interested in reading that tell a story of what might’ve happened had Germany won World War II. You may be aware of them already, but two of my favorites are “The Man in the High Castle” by Philip K. Dick, and “Fatherland” by Robert Harris.
If I remember right we were the only ones left working on implosion, everyone else deemed it impossible. If we never discovered that it was possible and how to make it happen there would be no nuclear bombs.
The U.S. is like the little brother that grew up to be bigger than the older brother. Edit: The part about nuclear independence means that the U.K. and France make their own nukes. While smaller countries don't need to build nukes since the U.S. nukes already protect them.
Look up The American Industrial Revolution. America's creative growth spurt started there. And hopefully you can find a video that brings the story (and examples) from there forward to Silicon Valley and the Digital Age, etc. Only fair to mention that a lot of inventions, such as the airplane and the submarine, were being developed at the same time in other countries, so it was like a competition to see who would succeed first. Some competitors got sneaky and underhanded about it too, such as Thomas Edison vs Nicolai Tesla.
As someone who grew up during the cold war and remembers the horrors of communist regimes like the PRC and the USSR it makes me sick when I think about how many young Americans think communism would be better for us than capitalism. What many don't realize is that after the cold war China's economy grew very quickly. They provided American companies with cheap (slave) labor and they all got rich. The Chinese began investing in American businesses and over the past 25 years they have managed to gain the majority control of many companies, specifically targeting American media and entertainment companies. They have been flooding the airwaves with anti-American propaganda for over twenty years. It's so bad now that many young Americans believe that the United States is the worst country in the world. It's very nice to hear something good about America for a change. Thank you.
And engineers. I have family that go across the world with engineers without borders to build water systems, to bring clean water to places that wouldn't have it otherwise. The most recent was in South America, but yeah. No vacations, just unpaid good works.
Also lookup the Berlin Airlift if you're not familiar. The USSR shut off all food to Berlin as revenge for what Hitler did. To keep the people from starving to death, the US flew in food, flying over USSR troops with every flight.
I always seen the uk as America’s dad. America became teenagers and told dad to get lost. And even if we had problems with our dad, nobody messes with family.
I mentioned a few of the US contributions that would never have come to fruition on the Part 1 comments section. But I would also like to mention that, ironically, these things would probably not have been created without the USSR and The Cold War. No space race. No need for a routing computer network for communications during a nuclear attack, ARPANET, that became The Internet. Necessity is the mother of invention, and we needed a lot of things to be invented to keep up with the Soviets.
Northeastern United States blizzard of 1978 react to that it was crazy The storm killed approximately 100 people in the Northeast and injured around 4,500. It also caused over $520 million in damage.
Important to note that without the US, Germany would have had nuclear weapons first. And those guys at the time didn't seem to have many problems with mass murder, so...
@@joshgonzalez3595 China is known for taking others inventions. Given Germany's history of engineering, I think they're definitely the obvious answer. It was German scientist that created the first jet engines for planes and of course the first jet propelled rockets like the V2.
The videos nuclear independence means the UK and France have their own independent stategic nuclear strike force with bombers, missiles and ballistic missile submarines.
Folk was in many different countries but blues is American thus influencing all those bands including the Beatles without the U.S. these bands would not have made millions. We basically adopted them and loved them, just look at their record sales in the U.S. they’re astronomical.
So, the US, UK, France, China, and Russia are the 5 countries which are signatories of the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty and allowed to posses nuclear weapons. Other signatories of that treaty, which includes allies of all of those nations are no banned from nuclear weapons development or testing. This is designed to ensure world safety and control the number of nuclear arms in the world. But the only reason allied nations agree to this is under the understanding that the United States will protect it's allies from a nuclear attack by via a nuclear response. This is called the Nuclear Umbrella, and it's a very convenient arraignment for the non-nuclear allied states. This is the reason why countries like South Korea, Japan, Germany, and Italy do not develop nuclear weapons. They don't have to waste their resources or contribute to nuclear proliferation with the US protecting them.
All the inventions we have would have been invented either way sooner or later. The jet engine was being developed independently by 3 different groups of engineers that aren't copycats but genuine unique designs. The same applies to the everything. The first door would have been invented either way. The difference would be nuanced, if the US didn't dominate in the progression of the internet and tech, google wouldn't exist as it is, RUclips and all the celebrities, icons wouldn't be either. It would be different even if the technology, companies etc was very similar.
If your going music folk and blues are basically the roots of all music, just ask the English(Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Cream, Black Sabbath, you get it.
A lot of people around the world feel that the US needs to stop being the "daddy" so to speak or as we call it, big brother. There's a debate about how often we need to get involved with foreign affairs and when to just let others fight it out. Some think it's unethical we get involved ever, but there are some times we have been criticized for not being involved.

you are right. Every generation does have a deal of their time. I grew up in LA but what helps it have so many things that are world changing. This is just my point of view from my life. I am 47 and Marine Corps infantryman vet with now a computer programming background, put more effort into engineering and hardware.. And stuck as a Single Dad ( the stuck part is a joke its the best thing in the world) I give a little so you understand where my point of view comes from. 1# location, LAX and San Pedro, Long beach and Even San Diego. Also Big part is diversity. So many cultures and ideas from not just the USA there. Around the world actually. Kind of a hub for out technology advances. Silicon Valley and some of the greatest start ups in history. IBM, Gateway, Dell, Intel, AMD, and of course Windows. I think back to the 80s and 91 in LA before I left for a few months. Came back and stayed until 93 then left for Kentucky and joined the Marine Corps. Music industry and movies etc. Right? But Again I can not say this enough, so many different nations and ethnic backgrounds. It opened up the flood gates. Internet was military prior to anyone having, ARPNET then IBM did WiFi for merchant servicing. Better known for IEEE but whose going to buy that so hens WiFi... wireless fidelity etc. Play on words for high fidelity. once that shit broke free to the market it was anyone's game, luck and some just being smart. I digress and I am awful at grammar and senescence placement etc. wasn't trying to go nuts here just got excited about the stuff.
5:20 "The U.S ought as well be our daddy, well that's kinda mad".
Yeah, it would literally be like if your Child became your Legal Guardian, however it happens a lot when Parents get old though.
The Internet started as a US military research project, to make a communication system that would still work even if some nodes were destroyed in a nuclear war. It connected military sites, research universities, a few big tech companies, and NGOs. In the 80s the government withdrew, and private telecommunication companies replaced the network infrastructure and allowed commercial use. Before the Internet became big in the 90s, the US had several private information services, all incompatible with each other (CompuServe, GEnie, AOL, etc). Without that government project, it might be still like that.
Yes your thinking of the microprocessor made in California but the transistor was made before that, made in New Jersey I believe

A lot of America helping other countries is just the US acting in it's own self interest. Still, ultimately good was done.
But that also explains the bad.
The USA is statistically the most generous country in the world. This according to the world giving index. Basically more charity money per capita leaves the usa than any other country.
@@gt5228z honestly I wish America was a little more greedy.
Not that I don't like giving away money but we need to focus in our own problems for a little bit.
@@iceblaze3043 agreed. Or at least with that others would match what the USA does.
Bro, say your name in your intro. I have watched dozens of your videos and just now had a moment when I didn't even know your name, even though I know you, your face, and how you think. I think that you are throwing away valuable recognition, I mean, how many people really look at the channel name?
Best of luck from the USA, bro.
This might already be in the comments, but thought I would add it just in case. What eventually became the Internet started out as DARPA-net, a Department of Defense government funded research and development project run at first by 4 U.S. universities. The DoD pours a lot of funds into a lot of college and university projects, in addition to giving out huge contracts to private companies. Sometimes they lead nowhere, and sometimes they hit paydirt. DARPA-net eventually became ARPA-net, which eventually became the Internet, which includes things like e-mail and VOIP., not just web sites.
Another big thing to come out of U.S. government military spending is GPS. At first, GPS and its satellites was just for the military. But eventually GPS became a product for everyday consumers, and why you can get turn by turn directions to anywhere on your phone.
One of the reasons that the DoD can fund such massive long term projects is because of the size and stability of the nation. The DoD can project not only years, but decades into the future to see what taxes the government will most likely collect and spending that will be needed. If you have a huge pile of money that you know is going to be there for the next 30 to 50 years, you can invest in really HUGE projects.
Some of the projects that the DoD has been funding over the last decade or so that will most likely see a transition to consumers sooner than later are things like quantum computing and "invisibility cloaks", which are materials placed around objects to help them "disappear" from plain sight.
Optics, lasers, batteries.....all that stuff is being researched at U.S. universities that receive money from and work with the DoD, NASA, etc, all across the whole country. Colleges and universities need money, and the military and government needs bright minds.
The Internet began its existence as a project of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is a research and development agency of the United States Department of Defense responsible for the development of emerging technologies for use by the military. It enabled defense related researchers to share information across a secure connection.
Actually Great Britain is our Mother. :-) “The Motherland”
Maybe for White people.

I grew up during the cold war so I really haven't looked around to see until recently, that the US is a super power. I also remember some of this with cuba and we were like saving the day again !
I am glad our country tries to help
I miss B1M reactions. Also, not a lot of people are doing space reactions, so how about SpaceX Starship reactions? It's unique.
I'd recommend:
- The Everyday Astronaut
- Marcus House
- The Angry Astronaut
- Scott Manley
I'd love to see your react to their videos!
Day 29 of asking Luka to watch “The Medic Who Fought a War Without a Weapon” by Simple history
Sounds good to me
Yes yes yes!!! Please Luka!!
That's right. The battle of hacksaw ridge was wild, and that boy was something special.
Hey @LavLuca you should watch this
Will you react to SoFi stadium in LA being built? You may need a few videos because of the unique roof, but I’d be interested in your reaction
This part started with North Korea taking control of the Korean Peninsula like was mentioned in part 1. I don't think this would have happened because the entire Korean peninsula would have still been under control of Japan from WWII. The majority of China and major parts of Indonesian area would also be under Japanese control.
I think it's ironic that Japan tried to stay isolationist, then the US came in and made them trade. But then during WW1 and WW2, the US initially wanted to be isolationist themselves. lol
Did you clean your room Son? Chop Chop!! Or no Big Mac for you!!
There are some books you might be interested in reading that tell a story of what might’ve happened had Germany won World War II. You may be aware of them already, but two of my favorites are “The Man in the High Castle” by Philip K. Dick, and “Fatherland” by Robert Harris.
If I remember right we were the only ones left working on implosion, everyone else deemed it impossible.
If we never discovered that it was possible and how to make it happen there would be no nuclear bombs.
i watched you from italy at 01:09 A.M hahahhahah
The U.S. is like the little brother that grew up to be bigger than the older brother.
Edit: The part about nuclear independence means that the U.K. and France make their own nukes. While smaller countries don't need to build nukes since the U.S. nukes already protect them.
Look up The American Industrial Revolution. America's creative growth spurt started there. And hopefully you can find a video that brings the story (and examples) from there forward to Silicon Valley and the Digital Age, etc. Only fair to mention that a lot of inventions, such as the airplane and the submarine, were being developed at the same time in other countries, so it was like a competition to see who would succeed first. Some competitors got sneaky and underhanded about it too, such as Thomas Edison vs Nicolai Tesla.
FYI-- the German's developed the V-2 missle which devastated Britain and were close to developing the S-bomb.
As someone who grew up during the cold war and remembers the horrors of communist regimes like the PRC and the USSR it makes me sick when I think about how many young Americans think communism would be better for us than capitalism. What many don't realize is that after the cold war China's economy grew very quickly. They provided American companies with cheap (slave) labor and they all got rich. The Chinese began investing in American businesses and over the past 25 years they have managed to gain the majority control of many companies, specifically targeting American media and entertainment companies. They have been flooding the airwaves with anti-American propaganda for over twenty years. It's so bad now that many young Americans believe that the United States is the worst country in the world. It's very nice to hear something good about America for a change. Thank you.
There are many large Charities that run out of the United States where they send Aid and doctors and nurses all over the world for free
And engineers. I have family that go across the world with engineers without borders to build water systems, to bring clean water to places that wouldn't have it otherwise. The most recent was in South America, but yeah. No vacations, just unpaid good works.
Also lookup the Berlin Airlift if you're not familiar. The USSR shut off all food to Berlin as revenge for what Hitler did. To keep the people from starving to death, the US flew in food, flying over USSR troops with every flight.
I always seen the uk as America’s dad. America became teenagers and told dad to get lost. And even if we had problems with our dad, nobody messes with family.
This sounds weird
Read "The Two George's" by Harry Turtledove. It's an alternative history novel that imagines the US if we had never won the Revolutionary war.
Silicon Valley is in Palo Alto California
All hail lord luka 📈
Someone would have come up with the inventions you mention. In some cases, important inventions were developed in different places at the same time.
I love how he said Daddy ....hhahahahaha
I mentioned a few of the US contributions that would never have come to fruition on the Part 1 comments section. But I would also like to mention that, ironically, these things would probably not have been created without the USSR and The Cold War. No space race. No need for a routing computer network for communications during a nuclear attack, ARPANET, that became The Internet. Necessity is the mother of invention, and we needed a lot of things to be invented to keep up with the Soviets.
Northeastern United States blizzard of 1978 react to that it was crazy The storm killed approximately 100 people in the Northeast and injured around 4,500. It also caused over $520 million in damage.
You'd have no peanut butter for your Reese's cups!
Important to note that without the US, Germany would have had nuclear weapons first. And those guys at the time didn't seem to have many problems with mass murder, so...
I wanna know what country would’ve made airplanes
Probably Germany.
I’m an American guessing here, I would also say Germany & China.
@@joshgonzalez3595 China is known for taking others inventions. Given Germany's history of engineering, I think they're definitely the obvious answer. It was German scientist that created the first jet engines for planes and of course the first jet propelled rockets like the V2.
@@johnwray393 Oh yes I forgot that part, Thank you for the reminder!!
@@joshgonzalez3595 No problem. :)
The videos nuclear independence means the UK and France have their own independent stategic nuclear strike force with bombers, missiles and ballistic missile submarines.

This dude has more ads on his videos than a 30 minute show in the early 2000s had commercials
You're welcome, Luka
Folk was in many different countries but blues is American thus influencing all those bands including the Beatles without the U.S. these bands would not have made millions. We basically adopted them and loved them, just look at their record sales in the U.S. they’re astronomical.
So, the US, UK, France, China, and Russia are the 5 countries which are signatories of the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty and allowed to posses nuclear weapons. Other signatories of that treaty, which includes allies of all of those nations are no banned from nuclear weapons development or testing. This is designed to ensure world safety and control the number of nuclear arms in the world. But the only reason allied nations agree to this is under the understanding that the United States will protect it's allies from a nuclear attack by via a nuclear response. This is called the Nuclear Umbrella, and it's a very convenient arraignment for the non-nuclear allied states. This is the reason why countries like South Korea, Japan, Germany, and Italy do not develop nuclear weapons. They don't have to waste their resources or contribute to nuclear proliferation with the US protecting them.
Anyone else curious what Luka would look like if he let his beard grow out?
No Britain is our parent and we’re the kid that grew up and now takes care of its parent🤷🏼♂️😂👍🏼
Can you do one about Alexander The Great and his conquest?
You should react to "Hail Storm Freaks of Nature & largest hail stone ever recorded recreation" by Pecos Hank, I just watched it its pretty cool
You should do a reaction to Accent expert gives a tour of US accents from Wired
Internet was developed by the military and later the world wide web was created in the 80s and used by the general public
If the UK didn't exist then part of that video would have to link to this video. :)
Soo many U.S videos?
There good 👍
Being the brother, no the daddy, then the brother. Is this a video on Alabama?
All the inventions we have would have been invented either way sooner or later. The jet engine was being developed independently by 3 different groups of engineers that aren't copycats but genuine unique designs. The same applies to the everything. The first door would have been invented either way. The difference would be nuanced, if the US didn't dominate in the progression of the internet and tech, google wouldn't exist as it is, RUclips and all the celebrities, icons wouldn't be either. It would be different even if the technology, companies etc was very similar.
You should react to U.S. Senator John McCain's famous vote regarding a bill to repeal a Healthcare program
The place in California you’re thinking about where all the tech giants are is Silicon Valley

Who's your daddy?! LoL
Why does the American cartoon person say "favour"?
React to super bowl and pro bowl pls
If your going music folk and blues are basically the roots of all music, just ask the English(Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Cream, Black Sabbath, you get it.
A lot of people around the world feel that the US needs to stop being the "daddy" so to speak or as we call it, big brother. There's a debate about how often we need to get involved with foreign affairs and when to just let others fight it out. Some think it's unethical we get involved ever, but there are some times we have been criticized for not being involved.
