You definitely have to do quite a bit of preparing and planning to do so.

    Actually, the U.S. was never prepared to go to war in most of the 20th century. After every war, WW1, WW2, Korea, we stood down our armed forces. It took us some time to ramp up our military in trained men and materiel for the next one. We vowed to never being in that position again. Vietnam was the first time we had the military ready to go.

    New yorker here, I regularly make trips to columbus ohio, and it takes about 22 hours to leave my house and come back, and thats WITHOUT breaks, besides fuel and maybe a 10 to 15 minute stop at a diner or a mcdubs sometimes. My dad drove a full sized car made of legos from upstate NY to LA for the Cars 2 movie premiere event in about 40 hours if I remember right. Maybe 50. Texas alone can take like 15 hours to cross from its furthest points. You mentioned 40 miles is long distance - that was half of my daily commute to work when I was in my early 20s going from Glens Falls to Latham. To me, a long distance trip is over 400 miles, one way 😂
    Edit: we also probably have enough oil reserves to supply the rest of the world for at least a century, with serious rationing in mind. We probably have enough untapped oil to supply the world for the next millennia.

    @14:52 To respond to the question regarding oil sourcing, we import a lot of oil from places like Niger and Ecuador and a dozen other places but that's a matter of policy, not need. We have money, so we burn other peoples' oil and keep our own. It's estimated there is more oil under the Dakotas (two of our states in the middle bit) than Saudi Arabia had before they started pumping.

    There are highways and freeways in the United States. Freeways otherwise known as Interstate are roads that go from state to state. There are multiple interstates, ones that go east to west and north to south. If you were to drive from one coast to the other (San Francisco to NYC) it would take about 48 hours straight through. The speed limit on the highways vary but rarely go under 65mph or 104kph to 75mph or 120kph. That distance is roughly 2600 miles or close to 4200km.

    Much oil is from the USA comes from within. We keep our overage in what is called the reserves. It allows us to carry on for awhile without any importation.

    25 miles? That's an afternoon shopping day here. The U.S. is currently the largest producer of oil, and has been for probably over a decade. And we haven't even come close to tapping all our sources for it. East and West Coast is pretty much untouched for sea drilling. We've got untapped supplies in Alaska, and other areas. And that doesn't even go into technology to reopen expired sites to get every last drop available that couldn't be conventionally. The tech is there and in use already. Hydraulic fracturing. And the U.S. is one of if not the largest natural gas producer as well. Although Russia probably has more potential supplies there.
    China's navy is by sheer numbers, outnumbering the U.S., but most of it is much, much smaller coastal patrol ships.

    It is a double edge sword. Yes we spend the most and have the largest most well equipped military in the world. But we also have a major issue with how that money is spent. For example, you can go to a hardware store and buy a bag of screws for lets say a $100 (even that's a high cost) the military will buy that EXACT SAME bag of screws for $90,000. OR $30,000 for a toilet seat. It is both due to them hiding money they spend for top secret projects (which i get) as well as being over charged by manufactures simply labeling these parts "for military use" or "military grade" but it is THE SAME PART made from the same metal manufactured on the same machine.

    “Another thing though is that with all that money they could stop poverty in their country”…..you are 1000% CORRECT SIR!!! Not only could america stop all forms of poverty in our own country but we could help completely end global poverty in it’s ENTIRETY!! Obviously that takes more than just our military budget but that’s not really the main point I’m making. I wouldn’t mind our bloated military budget if we actually did things to help our own citizens and the world at large. But no administration has been interested in that line of thinking since FDR pretty much. I am proud to be an American , I don’t hide my passport when I travel like some others because the way I see it I should be a good ambassador for my nation when I travel abroad.
    I should listen to others , learn their culture, and make friends with them.
    But I will say I am ASHAMED of how our nation does not live up to what it could be!!
    America has SOOOOO much potential and we absolutely REFUSE to live up to that potential!!
    Instead our entire country is set up to make rich people more money and keep poor people in perpetual poverty.
    We are the “richest” most powerful nation that has ever existed on this planet. We are multi ethnic, multicultural , hard working, honest and GENEROUS nation by and large.
    I would lay down my life for my fellow countrymen if it came down to it. But I will NOT do that in the name of greed and oppressing some other nations men, women and children in the name of said greed.
    I would literally rather die than be apart of that system.
