Nah, it doesn’t really do much for us. ICBM interception is mostly a smoke and mirrors PR campaign only useful against states with less than 20 icbms. The hit rates they state are always biased, usually tested with warning beforehand, etc. Interceptors are also extremely expensive and a better move would be to just build more decoy silos and bunkers to at least redirect enemy priority targets.
I'm not counting the USS Wisconsin because we'd already been fighting for 2 years at that point, but including the 4 Mr. Terry mentioned, we've gotten into 19 wars over someone touching our boats.
I LOVE it when you give more context! It's why I love to stick around this channel and love to watch it! Please, keep doing more while adding as much as you can! You are one of the best "reaction" channels I think on this entire platform.
The big bomber is a B-52 Stratofortress, a plane type that first flew in 1952 and has been in the arsenal for almost 70 years at this point. During it's service time it got the nickname B.U.F.F. Big Ugly Fat Fellow. That's the sanitized version. Replace Fellow with a swear word and you have the more accurate name.
The US did not design Iron Dome. It was designed by the IDF and Rafael Advanced Defence Systems and Israel Aerospace Industries using an Elta radar with oversight from the Israeli equivalent of DARPA. (So basically 50% of Israel's defense industrial complex is involved. Defense industrial complex is involved) . The iron Dome is partially also produced by Boeing and Raytheon. The US Marines are purchasing the Iron Dome we're short and medium range, air defense and missile intercept

The military arms weren't discussed for decades, if I am remembering right. However, the Germans were confident that stuff was being smuggled on passenger ships. Naughty!
yoooooou should watch all the HLC lore you need to get caught up on the Kid and Franklin! also MandatoryFunDay (Austin Von Lettkerman) should be with yall on the show!
Mr Terry, I have been trying to reach out to Fat electrician about contacts at Dugway Proving grounds(thats where the bat bombs are from), to get access to their declassified archives. Let him know I got some contacts. I used to work there for 3 years.
Operation praying mantis. Enough said... Half a navy for a damaged boat. USS Wisconsin reshaping topography of Korea for splintering a deck... Yeah don't touch the boat.
At this point I think a NATO without US would be jsut fine against russia. Poland alone looks capable enough to handle them now. Other members have nuclear deterrence as well.
I just hope that Pres. Trump sees the affects that his trade wars will have (and already are having) on US firm stock prices and backs off. It looks like he may already be starting.
Can you please do a video on the bombing of Germany by Churchill and how if that never happened ww2 and the holocaust also most likely wouldn't have happened
Europe can't do that Europe needs America. America doesn't need a Europe America does not need the UK America doesn't even need NATO NATO needs America. NATO countries can't even defend themselves because they don't spend no money on their military.

Does the US need an iron dome?
I don't see why not?
If we can afford it, i dont see why not. Of course, we'd all prefer to see more funding towards infrastructure, energy grid, etc

You forgot about the USS Wisconsin changing the topography of North Korea when they shot it and splintered some wood on the deck.

Explain why 30 different presidential candidates were murdered in Mexico? Or why the eventual winner is tied to them
Buff is the b52. One of the longest serving aircraft in the US airforce. Hence "grandpa" buff
Ah ok that's what I figured.
Panama Canal was turned over to Panama in 1999. However the treaty was as signed in 1979 I believe.
Doesn't know who Grandpa Buff is, then mention that he had a conversation about the b-52, also known as "Buff"

They don't have all their new aircraft, tanks, and missiles yet. They are a decade away from installing another puppet Czar in Moscow.
You think Poland could take Russia 1v1? I'm not so sure...
@@MrTerry Look at ukraine. Russia no longer has the equipment. Poland keeps buying more and more from the US.
Have you been to el chihuahua Mr Terry? It’s pretty decent
Please don’t give them more ideas on how to send people out… you know who is about dumb enough to think cannons are a Good idea…
Holy shit

Why would he care, he's not gonna feel any of the effects. It's the people who voted for him who will suffer.

The holiocoust started in the 30s.
What exactly are you talking about? The Nazis started killing Jews in September 1939.
