The US spends money on training, RDT&E and Equipment, procurement and military bases resources and payroll. You need a good number for active service! Very big numbers, let's say we had 10,000,000 or whatever number in the military for salary, benefits and food and shelter will take money from other areas' veterans and nuclear power including weapons is separate so you do that only in an emergency like a draft/conscription.
You should see what you can find on the manta ray it is an underwater submersible drone. That no one really knew about until recently. A couple of pictures of them in a harbor have appeared on the internet . This is our Star Wars technology. You won't find a number of them listed or how long they've actually been in service, just tidbits of information, but very cool. I'm very interested in anything you can find on it. Love your videos.
The US'S MILITARY numbers are down because of our current administration Biden and his administration. They are pushing a lot of DEI and transgender LGBT crap down Americans throats and so many are sick of it. So trying to appeal to everyone isn't working for the greater majority. When we see things like are army commercials playing cartoon videos of my two lesbien moms and then a girl saying how much she loves her two gay parents it turns people off. Or the transgender commercials for our Navy. It's not that the majority is against these people, or that they can't join. It is about our military is supposed to be tough like all militaries. The military should stay out of politics, but our current administration is trying to push their crazy shit on everyone.
um no roughly 83 million americans own firearms and 3%of them own over half of the 400 million firearms owned by americans which is absolutely insane!! Hell some tiny johnson loser named Mel Bernstein owns over 4k all by his chicken shit self!!! It must be terrible being terrified of your own shadow and the very very scary mail lady all the time lolololol!!!!
Don't forget the US employs over 600,000 military contractors too. They don't have to be declared or tracked the same way active military does. Think the Wagner group rules of deployment but still under tighter control of the actual government.
I'm happy you said that about the Air Force, as I was in the Air Force for 20 yrs! (Retired). I did my thing, 3x, in Iraq, was in Kuwait, in Saudi, in Okinawa, in the Philippines, and on and on. Great times and rough times. Proud member!

20:20 yes the F-22 is a better air to air fighter than the F-15, but we only have a limited number of F-22s vs the large number of F-15s plus they are multi role fighters that can do other jobs the F-22 was not designed to do.

@@douglascampbell9809 Yes, I have been playing Black Sea Battleship and have been following Covert Cabal and HighMarsed and Jonny and other satellite counting sites.
I don't think that the numbers for Russia are very accurate at this point. Ukraine has been instrumental in reducing Russia's armed forces significantly.
"I'm not Russian" sounds like something somebody trying hide the fact that they're Russian would say 🤔 (Just kidding. A Portuguese accent does similar things to English pronunciation as some of the Slavic languages. It's actually very interesting.)
I could be misremembering but I believe that the Visigoths migrated into Rome way back then and I believe they came from Slavic lands. They eventually settled the Iberian peninsula currently Spain and Portugal. That might explain the interesting point of yours?
I have to add that I think the Navy has the most mobile fleet. We control the sea, air and ground (via the marines we schlep around with us) . I served in the Navy and worked on SH-60 Seahawk helicopter used for sonar, sub hunting and search and rescue. I then went to an F14 Tomcat squadron. I liked the helos better than fixed wrong.

There is also something in the US referred to as the"black budget" that, in part, goes toward covert ops in the CIA and military research. This is highly classified so no one knows the exact number or where it actually toward, but mark my words, lots of it is military minded and goes toward stuff like developing classified military aircraft and weapons, etc among many other things.
25:10 it's worth noting that the video states that the US does not have the largest naval fleet in the world, which "officially" is true because that only counts commissioned warships. However the US has a pretty strict size and capability requirement on what is a commissioned warship. Other nations may count many vessels as ships that the US would only count as boats. The only metric that matters in terms of naval size is tonnage. And the US Navy's 3.4m tons absolutely dwarf's the competitors of Russia's 845k, China's 700k and Japan and the UK's ~400k.
And the fact that aren't there like 6 dedicated carrier strike groups with a broad mix of surface and subsurface vessels easily deployed around the world at any given time and only leaving like 3 carrier strike groups in port at any given time?
One thing about the USA, we fight with each other like siblings but once you attack us, everyone comes together, its game on and there is no backing down till we win. That's what I've noticed.
The active duty numbers are down in the US because we are no longer involved in combat operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. After ~20 years of war, it's not surprising that the military needs would be lower now than previously.
18. As the narrator was going over the numbers for Russia, it made me curious what updated numbers would look like after their invasion of Ukraine. According to much of the news from there, Russia’s military equipment is old WW2 equipment and in disrepair. Their soldiers are also deserting at a fairly high rate in addition to to those already dead. One of my state’s representatives in DC is a major in the National Guard. Even with his government position, he still has to attend his scheduled monthly drills. Because he served in Afghanistan and because of his current rank, he was asked to join the House Committee on Armed Services in first year of his term. Although he will not be running for reelection because his district was redrawn to insure a Republican would win, he is running for North Carolina’s Attorney General. I sincerely hope he wins.
The funny thing about the Ford class carriers is that they're named after the only president in US history that nobody voted for. The story is a little complicated but it might make a good video.
My father in law helped design the seat in the B-2 bomber. Unfortunately he as unable to make the transition to computer aided design and has worked minimum wage jobs since the '90s. However, he does have a piece of memorabilia from his work on the B-2 that was signed by the test pilots.
coming from an American.... America F**k yeah 😎🥃... if you come to america sometime bro just let me know, i'm in chicago, the US #3 city, i'll show you a ton of great stuff
I feel its people like this guy that should be able to come to America. Someone who knows and respects America's accomplishments rather than the negatives it took to get thos far
@@beesnort3163 on the contrary i would say winter is the best time to come to Chicago, we have the xmas market in daily plaza, the main macys establishment really going over time, and of course catching a bears game in sub -20 degree weather while enjoying the tail gate and drinks is unmatched (summer would be #2 for the cubs games, beaches, and attractions)
18 and i ALWAYS watch to the end. You work hard to help me learn new things and entertain me. The least that i can do is watch until the end, leave a like, and a comment. There is an interesting video out there about how these naval ships provide outstanding and fresh food to the sailors. They intentionally prepare appetizing and delicious food to counter the other difficult circumstances of living and working in such a small space and being away at sea for long periods of time.
South Korea has mandatory military service for all men. Then they are automatically part of the reserves for a period of time after their service. Every Korean I talked to there said every American soldier was worth 10 Korean soldiers. They are more professional, better equiped, better fed and heavily armed. Koreans by and large are better at hand to hand combat. Martial arts in Korea is like Football in the South. Even so over the past 20 year Korea has built up their military considerably. They produce their own rifles, warships, and many other things. They have come a long way. The biggest difference is the ROK has built their military to have millions of people serve for a short term and get moderate training. The US Military is setup to train 140,000 to 200,000 soldiers per year at a very high level of training.
A large number of these calculations for these comparisons never take into consideration of the millions of veterans who have already served, who could be recalled to active duty to fight.
F35 has a different roll then the F22. Or a wider roll. F22 is really good at air superiority. F35 has a multirole. air to ground, and air to air. But doesnt have thrust vectoring like the F22.
I just realized how similar the Portuguese accent is to the Russian accent while speaking English. It's almost uncanny. I can usually differentiate European accents pretty easily, but this is wild.
Thx for doing an Infographics show. They have amazing videos and I would love to see those. 😊 Edit: I too thought you were Russian as well. But I was corrected. I think most of us just don't recognize a Portuguese accent.
The biggest thing about American military is the experience they have. I think out of all of US History, there have only been 18 years where we haven’t been to war with someone.
You think that's funny. At a science conference I had a drunk professor ask me if I was from Maryland, because I sounded like I had the accident (I'm a lifetime Rockies resident). I told her "No, closest I've been is a layover in DC." She responded, "Are you sure?".
China is working to match the US, but they have a ways to go in terms of modernizing their armed forces. They've gone on record as saying they don't think their military would be able to compare or be ready for any kind of conflict until 2029, and that doesn't consider the US military's continuous innovations. And Russia has really fallen from how they used to be. They are still a powerful nation, but if the Ukraine War, or Russo-Ukrainian war is anything to go by, I don't believe they command the concern that the Soviet Steamroller used to have.
Actually nothing makes us(me) more proud than our foreign buddies and allies being proud of us and our military, to be honest most of the time us regular folks in the states dont think about it too much until wars start going on and then we worry if we have enough lol, also we usually get more hate from either other countries or our own neighbors about our military, but ppl like you and other reactors in allied countries like the uk and japan etc, keep.our spirits up that with our taxes we are helping out and also that literally any reaction from any countrymen i see is that they are glad that the USA is #1 and not china or russia, because every country has its problems but if you were to pick just one out of those 3 to handle things,...you should definitely be glad its America, just imagining a world where china or russia is preeminent is a nightmare
I love videos about our military warriors bc they don't get the type of respect that they deserve. I'd love to see those that disagree with the videos or our Warriors do what our they do every day. It's easy to complain about it bc the military has your back assuring that you have the right to complain with freedom of speech protection. But if you stop to think what horrors they face so you don't have to, maybe they'd be more appreciated & respectful. The change that's based on the WOKE era has resulted in < recruitment. We're still very patriotic but don't agree with some of the changes that the upper military leaders have implemented to reflect the WOKE community. We don't disagree that everyone has the right to their beliefs but our military shouldn't be used as a political talking point. They volunteer to provide security for the Nation. Why add things that don't have anything to do with protecting the American Citizens. I don't think the military cares about what gender you think you are, your politics or religious beliefs. They care whether or not you will have their back if in a dangerous situation. My opinion might not be wanted but I still have the right to voice them. Keep your hateful comments to yourself bc I won't change my opinion. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🗽🗽
And about like what we spend on our military 886 Billion. It's only 3% of what we have to spend. Just think about that for a minute. If we went to war, we could increase our spending on military by over ninety percent And just think then what our military would be capable of.
Part of the issue with the US military numbers being down is since 2001 when the world trade center was bomb the Reserves and the National Guard have been used as a Active duty troops ..many have left due to this ..second is the military numbers were so down they change the rules for deployment fist is was you would be deployed 12 months then once you were in country what ever country they sent you to Iraq Afghanistan Somalia Yemen just to name a few then they changed the rules from 12 months to 14 then 18 and some 24 I got out of Active Duty and went reserve to finish my time and retire but then they call us back to Active Duty and sent me to these countries to name just a few .. they also did this to National Guard soldiers which is supposed to be used to defend the US but again they changed the rules .. Now the US Is keep the A10( warthog)thunderbolt but a new And improved A10 .. this Video also left out the Osprey tilt .. Personally I think it's junk ..but it looks cool .. but it is junk ..flying coffin.. if you ever make it here to the US would love to take you to a Military Airshow we have every year climb in and on lots of Military planes ..
F-22 and F-35 serve very different roles. F-22 is 20 years old and the stealth technology is the best and very expensive to maintain, but the avionics are 20 years old. the F-35 stealth coating isnt as advanced, but the avionics are next level. The pilot has a custom fit helmet that lets him see through the plane and can target based on what hes looking at.
Part of the downturn in people signing up for US military (or reserves) is a combination of anti war culture, along with overall population fitness having gone a downturn in recent decades (obesity rates☝️, time in sports/outside not on a screen 👎) Surprisingly doesn’t come close to stalling the gun culture here, more than enough guns in circulation among civilians as is to arm them if need be (dunno about ammo though).
Yeah first time I seen the B2 I was a younger kid fishing by myself I thought the same, ufo lol & I grew up next to the base so I seen a lot of crazy fighters but that one tripped me out! 🤣
5:19 the U.S. spends more on military than the next TEN countries combined.... TEN!!!! and it's still only 3.3% of our GDP... we spend more on social programs...
Each person who served and left the military can be pulled back into the military. Stop loss can easily be established, stopping all military from leaving the service. Both options happened after September 11. My husband was stop lossed, and we couldn't leave the USMC. A friend of ours who served with us, and left a year earlier was pulled back to the USMC. These numbers do not reflect those current options.
American military power is definitely highly invested in its air power. The biggest and best Air Force in the world is the US Air Force, and the second largest and best Air Force in the world is the US Navy.
Russia just admitted that their Black Sea fleet has lost so many ships that is it now ineffective and they pulled it into port in a safe harbor. If anything Russia's military power has gone down since Ukraine.
you might like to watch on your personal time Habitual Line Crossers videos titled 'USA Vs' he goes through each countries military equipment compared to the USA and he discusses otber things, but they are great informative videos. plus you might enjoy his silly map face videos as well. much love from Maryland xoxo
Hello , I found it funny that you would lose half of your members if America is attacked. However you would have 100 Million American Civilians fighting to protect thier homeland. Along with securing you and your childrens' freedom from tyrany. So maybe not worry about the subscribers so much lol. Love your work please keep it up.
I could be wrong about this but I think it's because the younger generation don't care about it but I bet they'll care if they are in chains or in prisons or if they're de. ad because another military came into the US and took it over
After Biden’s shameful retreat from Afghanistan, I suspect our supply of helicopters and other equipment are somewhat diminished. A fleet of operational helicopters and other sophisticated equipment were left behind. Our government tried to tell us the helicopters had been disabled. We were getting that ridiculous message while watching Afghans flying the helicopters. 😡😡😡 Even more disturbing was the people who were left behind. The image of people holding onto the plane as it left the base is burned in my mind. 🥵🥵🥵
we spend a ridiculous amount on our military with little to no tens of billions is unaccounted for every year its insane!! what's worse is almost all soldiers families are on food stamps or other public aid because they pay them like shit. which might be why we are at less than 70% strength and have been since the 90s!! we could give every man woman and child a million dollars and still spend 880 million on our military, we spend more than the next 26 countries combined its something like 25% of all the military spending by all the nations on earth!!! The way we treat these hero's is absolutely disgusting!!!
The sad reality is that the USA government doesn't care about its veterans, specifically on their healthcare . Plus, some veterans return home and face partner infidelity. Since our court system is rigged to favor a particular sex( play the guessing game here). It leaves the returning veterans without a home and a destroyed lifestyle. These downsides will not encourage people to join. Another point could be. That the USA military used to target masculine men to join. I used to watch TV ads that promote these men to join. Now, when i watched a military ad, it was filled with pure women and LGBTQ(+ ....etc) enrollment. This could be the principle of why masculine men don't want to join. (Not sure if factor, however, i have seen people masculine men cheer for the downfall of the woke military)
You wait until President Trump gets back in power there will be a lot of huge changes that's going to happen. I don't have any worries! I gave you a thumbs up and watched all the way through.
The US spends money on training, RDT&E and Equipment, procurement and military bases resources and payroll. You need a good number for active service! Very big numbers, let's say we had 10,000,000 or whatever number in the military for salary, benefits and food and shelter will take money from other areas' veterans and nuclear power including weapons is separate so you do that only in an emergency like a draft/conscription. 18
honestly part of it has to do with the divide between people due to politics & lack of pride for our country especially among the younger generations unfortunately....it also has to do with the fact that more money has been put into fighting with unmanned technology nowadays compared to sending out actual military personnel....btw Ronald Reagan referred to 'Star Wars' in a speech for a defense system....please be aware after yesterday's horrible events here in the states any videos & commentary that have to do with guns & the government & political parties will probably have some very strongly opinionated comments
The design of the B2/B21 go back to WW2. Northrop developed the XB35 with a prototype flying in the 1940s. Another one, the YB40, had jet engines. Only USAF conservatism and the end of WW2 prevented its adoption. When Boeing rolled out the first B2, Bill Northrop was invited to the ceremony.
I don't think he should, he knows Trumps very contradictive and honestly Trump is very disliked on a worldly scale, probably doesn't want to get tied into that kind of drama.
I thought you were Russian because your accent sounds just like my bf, and he is Russian. So i was confused... because you're bio and ig said Portuguese
For your future, my friend! The issues in Europe will continue to worsen. Your money and US money have issues; inflation will remain high. So, you need to understand Bitcoin. In today's financial landscape, the choice between Bitcoin and Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) goes beyond mere currency preference-it's about fundamental freedoms. Bitcoin, a decentralized digital currency, offers individuals financial sovereignty. It operates on a secure network that no single entity controls, safeguarding transactions from censorship and manipulation. With a limited supply of 21 million coins, Bitcoin stands in stark contrast to CBDCs, which central banks can inflate at will, risking economic instability and devaluation of savings. Central banks, controlling CBDCs, epitomize centralized power and surveillance. They can monitor every transaction, potentially restricting how individuals spend their money. In contrast, Bitcoin transactions, though transparent, offer pseudonymity, protecting privacy without sacrificing security. Moreover, while Bitcoin fosters financial resilience with its global, decentralized network, CBDCs are vulnerable to systemic failures and government overreach. Choosing Bitcoin isn't just about investing in a digital asset; it's a stance for financial independence and personal liberty. By moving assets into Bitcoin and tangible assets like land, individuals secure their wealth against inflation and government interference. This shift represents a critical step towards a future where individuals, not centralized institutions, control their financial destinies, safeguarding against the encroaching powers of central banks and their dystopian vision of financial control.

150 million citizens have guns in a America we are like three armies
"If we invaded America, there would be a rifle behind every blade of grass." - Japanese Admiral Yamamoto, supposedly.

There are more guns than citizens. I think we have around 360+ million people and about 393 million guns.

25:10 it's worth noting that the video states that the US does not have the largest naval fleet in the world, which "officially" is true because that only counts commissioned warships. However the US has a pretty strict size and capability requirement on what is a commissioned warship. Other nations may count many vessels as ships that the US would only count as boats.
The only metric that matters in terms of naval size is tonnage. And the US Navy's 3.4m tons absolutely dwarf's the competitors of Russia's 845k, China's 700k and Japan and the UK's ~400k.
And the fact that aren't there like 6 dedicated carrier strike groups with a broad mix of surface and subsurface vessels easily deployed around the world at any given time and only leaving like 3 carrier strike groups in port at any given time?
One thing about the USA, we fight with each other like siblings but once you attack us, everyone comes together, its game on and there is no backing down till we win. That's what I've noticed.
The active duty numbers are down in the US because we are no longer involved in combat operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. After ~20 years of war, it's not surprising that the military needs would be lower now than previously.
18. As the narrator was going over the numbers for Russia, it made me curious what updated numbers would look like after their invasion of Ukraine. According to much of the news from there, Russia’s military equipment is old WW2 equipment and in disrepair. Their soldiers are also deserting at a fairly high rate in addition to to those already dead. One of my state’s representatives in DC is a major in the National Guard. Even with his government position, he still has to attend his scheduled monthly drills. Because he served in Afghanistan and because of his current rank, he was asked to join the House Committee on Armed Services in first year of his term. Although he will not be running for reelection because his district was redrawn to insure a Republican would win, he is running for North Carolina’s Attorney General. I sincerely hope he wins.
The funny thing about the Ford class carriers is that they're named after the only president in US history that nobody voted for. The story is a little complicated but it might make a good video.
My father in law helped design the seat in the B-2 bomber. Unfortunately he as unable to make the transition to computer aided design and has worked minimum wage jobs since the '90s. However, he does have a piece of memorabilia from his work on the B-2 that was signed by the test pilots.
coming from an American.... America F**k yeah 😎🥃... if you come to america sometime bro just let me know, i'm in chicago, the US #3 city, i'll show you a ton of great stuff
I feel its people like this guy that should be able to come to America. Someone who knows and respects America's accomplishments rather than the negatives it took to get thos far
Chicago is an AMAZING place! My favorite city in the US! I would say he shouldn’t go in the winter, although it is the best in any weather!
@@beesnort3163 on the contrary i would say winter is the best time to come to Chicago, we have the xmas market in daily plaza, the main macys establishment really going over time, and of course catching a bears game in sub -20 degree weather while enjoying the tail gate and drinks is unmatched (summer would be #2 for the cubs games, beaches, and attractions)
19:25 starwars vehicles are actually based on a myriad of ww1 and ww2 vehicles. I believe the creator was drafted
I love all his reaction videos, he interupts more than anyone who does reaction videos, he leads the way.
18 and i ALWAYS watch to the end. You work hard to help me learn new things and entertain me. The least that i can do is watch until the end, leave a like, and a comment. There is an interesting video out there about how these naval ships provide outstanding and fresh food to the sailors. They intentionally prepare appetizing and delicious food to counter the other difficult circumstances of living and working in such a small space and being away at sea for long periods of time.
South Korea has mandatory military service for all men. Then they are automatically part of the reserves for a period of time after their service. Every Korean I talked to there said every American soldier was worth 10 Korean soldiers. They are more professional, better equiped, better fed and heavily armed. Koreans by and large are better at hand to hand combat. Martial arts in Korea is like Football in the South. Even so over the past 20 year Korea has built up their military considerably. They produce their own rifles, warships, and many other things. They have come a long way. The biggest difference is the ROK has built their military to have millions of people serve for a short term and get moderate training. The US Military is setup to train 140,000 to 200,000 soldiers per year at a very high level of training.
A large number of these calculations for these comparisons never take into consideration of the millions of veterans who have already served, who could be recalled to active duty to fight.
The reason we spend so much and have less troops it's the technology and the training quality over quantity
F35 has a different roll then the F22. Or a wider roll. F22 is really good at air superiority. F35 has a multirole. air to ground, and air to air. But doesnt have thrust vectoring like the F22.
I served in the Army….Less than half of the equipment is serviceable and less than a quarter is fit for combat operations.
I just realized how similar the Portuguese accent is to the Russian accent while speaking English. It's almost uncanny. I can usually differentiate European accents pretty easily, but this is wild.
The 🇺🇸 is the most powerful nation on earth because we protect the most important thing of all, FREEDOM. No other nation does that.
Thx for doing an Infographics show. They have amazing videos and I would love to see those. 😊
Edit: I too thought you were Russian as well. But I was corrected. I think most of us just don't recognize a Portuguese accent.
The biggest thing about American military is the experience they have. I think out of all of US History, there have only been 18 years where we haven’t been to war with someone.
You think that's funny. At a science conference I had a drunk professor ask me if I was from Maryland, because I sounded like I had the accident (I'm a lifetime Rockies resident). I told her "No, closest I've been is a layover in DC." She responded, "Are you sure?".
I'm betting you meant accent rather than accident.
I like your typo: I had the accident. :)
@@VNOltec Yeah, damn phone autocorrect.
China is working to match the US, but they have a ways to go in terms of modernizing their armed forces. They've gone on record as saying they don't think their military would be able to compare or be ready for any kind of conflict until 2029, and that doesn't consider the US military's continuous innovations. And Russia has really fallen from how they used to be. They are still a powerful nation, but if the Ukraine War, or Russo-Ukrainian war is anything to go by, I don't believe they command the concern that the Soviet Steamroller used to have.
For the U.S. history, we have been in conflict/war for all but somewhere around 20 years.
Actually nothing makes us(me) more proud than our foreign buddies and allies being proud of us and our military, to be honest most of the time us regular folks in the states dont think about it too much until wars start going on and then we worry if we have enough lol, also we usually get more hate from either other countries or our own neighbors about our military, but ppl like you and other reactors in allied countries like the uk and japan etc, keep.our spirits up that with our taxes we are helping out and also that literally any reaction from any countrymen i see is that they are glad that the USA is #1 and not china or russia, because every country has its problems but if you were to pick just one out of those 3 to handle things,...you should definitely be glad its America, just imagining a world where china or russia is preeminent is a nightmare
what's going on with the decreasing numbers are wars we the people didn't want to be in but were forced to go into
I love videos about our military warriors bc they don't get the type of respect that they deserve. I'd love to see those that disagree with the videos or our Warriors do what our they do every day. It's easy to complain about it bc the military has your back assuring that you have the right to complain with freedom of speech protection.
But if you stop to think what horrors they face so you don't have to, maybe they'd be more appreciated & respectful.
The change that's based on the WOKE era has resulted in < recruitment.
We're still very patriotic but don't agree with some of the changes that the upper military leaders have implemented to reflect the WOKE community. We don't disagree that everyone has the right to their beliefs but our military shouldn't be used as a political talking point. They volunteer to provide security for the Nation. Why add things that don't have anything to do with protecting the American Citizens. I don't think the military cares about what gender you think you are, your politics or religious beliefs. They care whether or not you will have their back if in a dangerous situation.
My opinion might not be wanted but I still have the right to voice them.
Keep your hateful comments to yourself bc I won't change my opinion. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🗽🗽
And about like what we spend on our military 886 Billion. It's only 3% of what we have to spend. Just think about that for a minute. If we went to war, we could increase our spending on military by over ninety percent And just think then what our military would be capable of.
Plzzzzz look at the us new project like the plan that has the lazer in the front and the robot dog sooooo freaking cool
I just realized we spend over 3 whole Portugals on our military.
The difference is combined arms acting in support of each other
Part of the issue with the US military numbers being down is since 2001 when the world trade center was bomb the Reserves and the National Guard have been used as a Active duty troops ..many have left due to this ..second is the military numbers were so down they change the rules for deployment fist is was you would be deployed 12 months then once you were in country what ever country they sent you to Iraq Afghanistan Somalia Yemen just to name a few then they changed the rules from 12 months to 14 then 18 and some 24 I got out of Active Duty and went reserve to finish my time and retire but then they call us back to Active Duty and sent me to these countries to name just a few .. they also did this to National Guard soldiers which is supposed to be used to defend the US but again they changed the rules ..
Now the US Is keep the A10( warthog)thunderbolt but a new And improved A10 .. this Video also left out the Osprey tilt ..
Personally I think it's junk ..but it looks cool .. but it is junk ..flying coffin.. if you ever make it here to the US would love to take you to a Military Airshow we have every year climb in and on lots of Military planes ..
F-22 and F-35 serve very different roles. F-22 is 20 years old and the stealth technology is the best and very expensive to maintain, but the avionics are 20 years old. the F-35 stealth coating isnt as advanced, but the avionics are next level. The pilot has a custom fit helmet that lets him see through the plane and can target based on what hes looking at.
Part of the downturn in people signing up for US military (or reserves) is a combination of anti war culture, along with overall population fitness having gone a downturn in recent decades (obesity rates☝️, time in sports/outside not on a screen 👎)
Surprisingly doesn’t come close to stalling the gun culture here, more than enough guns in circulation among civilians as is to arm them if need be (dunno about ammo though).
More money spent on technology means fewer personnel to manage the weapons systems.
Yeah first time I seen the B2 I was a younger kid fishing by myself I thought the same, ufo lol & I grew up next to the base so I seen a lot of crazy fighters but that one tripped me out! 🤣
5:19
the U.S. spends more on military than the next TEN countries combined.... TEN!!!! and it's still only 3.3% of our GDP... we spend more on social programs...
Each person who served and left the military can be pulled back into the military. Stop loss can easily be established, stopping all military from leaving the service. Both options happened after September 11. My husband was stop lossed, and we couldn't leave the USMC. A friend of ours who served with us, and left a year earlier was pulled back to the USMC. These numbers do not reflect those current options.
Not after they are 36 yrs old
@@garycamara9955 No, once you have signed up for the military, that is not the case. A colonel I knew was stop lossed after 25+ years of service.
@@bobsyouruncle3075
Military officers can be recalled much longer than enlisted.
American military power is definitely highly invested in its air power. The biggest and best Air Force in the world is the US Air Force, and the second largest and best Air Force in the world is the US Navy.
Please react to the SR72 Darkstar aircraft. The newest plane. It is the successor to the legendary SR71 Blackbird. Very cool

So I'll tell y'all something most don't know about, we have LASERS yes Star wars type lasers that's all im saying
Yup. Just saw a new contract roll out to mount them on airplanes
Russia just admitted that their Black Sea fleet has lost so many ships that is it now ineffective and they pulled it into port in a safe harbor. If anything Russia's military power has gone down since Ukraine.
Yeah but those countries don't also have civilians that have guns either and I know that they would step up as well if it took that to protect the USA
The US military consists entirely of trained professionals and most have real combat experience…
you might like to watch on your personal time Habitual Line Crossers videos titled 'USA Vs' he goes through each countries military equipment compared to the USA and he discusses otber things, but they are great informative videos. plus you might enjoy his silly map face videos as well.
much love from Maryland xoxo
Gostaria que um dia fizesse um vídeo em português e nos contasse sobre Portugal!
Recruiting is down because they are treated like garbage. They saw Afghanistan and Iraq. Wokeness.

America Rocks

When lead by a dementia patient it may not mean much , although that’s changing in 4 short months
Hello , I found it funny that you would lose half of your members if America is attacked. However you would have 100 Million American Civilians fighting to protect thier homeland. Along with securing you and your childrens' freedom from tyrany. So maybe not worry about the subscribers so much lol. Love your work please keep it up.
Dude you're a good Russian.. I subscribed
I could be wrong about this but I think it's because the younger generation don't care about it but I bet they'll care if they are in chains or in prisons or if they're de. ad because another military came into the US and took it over
After Biden’s shameful retreat from Afghanistan, I suspect our supply of helicopters and other equipment are somewhat diminished. A fleet of operational helicopters and other sophisticated equipment were left behind. Our government tried to tell us the helicopters had been disabled. We were getting that ridiculous message while watching Afghans flying the helicopters. 😡😡😡 Even more disturbing was the people who were left behind. The image of people holding onto the plane as it left the base is burned in my mind. 🥵🥵🥵
Batman design the B2 I'm sure of it
well Russia lost almost half of its tanks already in Ukraine , so the number is not accurate. they also lost around 500k soldiers .
love you Andre!!!
Ty so much. Love you too!
18. I always watch until the end. Enjoy all of your reactions 🙂
we spend a ridiculous amount on our military with little to no tens of billions is unaccounted for every year its insane!! what's worse is almost all soldiers families are on food stamps or other public aid because they pay them like shit. which might be why we are at less than 70% strength and have been since the 90s!! we could give every man woman and child a million dollars and still spend 880 million on our military, we spend more than the next 26 countries combined its something like 25% of all the military spending by all the nations on earth!!! The way we treat these hero's is absolutely disgusting!!!
The sad reality is that the USA government doesn't care about its veterans, specifically on their healthcare . Plus, some veterans return home and face partner infidelity. Since our court system is rigged to favor a particular sex( play the guessing game here). It leaves the returning veterans without a home and a destroyed lifestyle. These downsides will not encourage people to join.
Another point could be. That the USA military used to target masculine men to join. I used to watch TV ads that promote these men to join. Now, when i watched a military ad, it was filled with pure women and LGBTQ(+ ....etc) enrollment. This could be the principle of why masculine men don't want to join. (Not sure if factor, however, i have seen people masculine men cheer for the downfall of the woke military)
Think about the us citizens that have guns.
USA getting close to one trillion..😮

You wait until President Trump gets back in power there will be a lot of huge changes that's going to happen. I don't have any worries!
I gave you a thumbs up and watched all the way through.

The US spends money on training, RDT&E and Equipment, procurement and military bases resources and payroll. You need a good number for active service! Very big numbers, let's say we had 10,000,000 or whatever number in the military for salary, benefits and food and shelter will take money from other areas' veterans and nuclear power including weapons is separate so you do that only in an emergency like a draft/conscription. 18
I'm back I love when you react to military stuff especially with the U.S.
Great video but I'm going to take away your pause abilities
The US has superior equipment.
🇺🇸
Mongolia lololol do they have a army or samurai
honestly part of it has to do with the divide between people due to politics & lack of pride for our country especially among the younger generations unfortunately....it also has to do with the fact that more money has been put into fighting with unmanned technology nowadays compared to sending out actual military personnel....btw Ronald Reagan referred to 'Star Wars' in a speech for a defense system....please be aware after yesterday's horrible events here in the states any videos & commentary that have to do with guns & the government & political parties will probably have some very strongly opinionated comments
Their fleets suck
Those Russian tanks in the beginning of the video at around 2:28 mark is a disrespect to my friendly spiders
The design of the B2/B21 go back to WW2. Northrop developed the XB35 with a prototype flying in the 1940s. Another one, the YB40, had jet engines. Only USAF conservatism and the end of WW2 prevented its adoption. When Boeing rolled out the first B2, Bill Northrop was invited to the ceremony.
I thought you said “Russian” the first time a saw your video when in fact you were saying “consideration”. Maybe other heard wrong like I did.
Well someone tried to clip trump yesterday maybe do a reaction to that
I don't think he should, he knows Trumps very contradictive and honestly Trump is very disliked on a worldly scale, probably doesn't want to get tied into that kind of drama.

Hate this site. In the eighties if you wanted a runway fixed in an hour, it's done easy peesy. This is hard work. I knew every thing about it.
I thought you were Russian because your accent sounds just like my bf, and he is Russian. So i was confused... because you're bio and ig said Portuguese
18 but i want you to react to bitcoin!!
Why?
For your future, my friend! The issues in Europe will continue to worsen. Your money and US money have issues; inflation will remain high. So, you need to understand Bitcoin. In today's financial landscape, the choice between Bitcoin and Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) goes beyond mere currency preference-it's about fundamental freedoms. Bitcoin, a decentralized digital currency, offers individuals financial sovereignty. It operates on a secure network that no single entity controls, safeguarding transactions from censorship and manipulation. With a limited supply of 21 million coins, Bitcoin stands in stark contrast to CBDCs, which central banks can inflate at will, risking economic instability and devaluation of savings.
Central banks, controlling CBDCs, epitomize centralized power and surveillance. They can monitor every transaction, potentially restricting how individuals spend their money. In contrast, Bitcoin transactions, though transparent, offer pseudonymity, protecting privacy without sacrificing security. Moreover, while Bitcoin fosters financial resilience with its global, decentralized network, CBDCs are vulnerable to systemic failures and government overreach.
Choosing Bitcoin isn't just about investing in a digital asset; it's a stance for financial independence and personal liberty. By moving assets into Bitcoin and tangible assets like land, individuals secure their wealth against inflation and government interference. This shift represents a critical step towards a future where individuals, not centralized institutions, control their financial destinies, safeguarding against the encroaching powers of central banks and their dystopian vision of financial control.
