Habitual Linecrosser, a friend of the Fat Electrician, just posted a similar video yesterday of US vs UK. Check it out if you want. Btw, there is a 99% chance this won't ever happen. We're too close now as "family" and allied. 🇺🇲🇬🇧
This is kinda like the kid who runs away from home and makes it big!!
He's not going to rob his parents. He's more likely to help Mom and Dad than to beat them up.
As an island the British are vulnerable to a blockade. The Germans tried that in WWII, but were thwarted by the Americans whose liberty ships supplied the nation to keep up the fight against Nazis. You can't fight without food and fuel, so a blockade would bring down the UK.
I could never imagine a scenario where that would happen. We like each other too much!
Invade? I wanna visit and hang out!
Nice to see Mom again! Great video!
The UK is well worth every committment to the UK as an ally over the adversarial role. It would be a catastrophe to lose Brits as allies.
I would love to hear more about Jersey from your perspective!
Yes, you should do a tour of Jersey video.
I looked online. We have 450 military bases in the US. 750 in other countries.
Those are the ones that they allow us to know of
Yup. Those are usually by invitation or treaty with foreign allied nations and most are actually pretty small. They help a lot with shared training, logistics and force projection (plus, quite a few are shared bases with the local countries military.)
One thing to remember while watching these kinds of videos is, the US never uses all of it's capabilities when in war. For example, we "could" have wiped Afghanistan off the map entirely, but they try to limit the civilian casualties to a minimum after WW2.
And that's one of the tragedies of wars like the one in Afghanistan. It's harder to win a limited war but civilians still die. It's difficult to not feel that everything was wasted -- lives, money, and energy.
At 7:50 your mom is 100% right. we(america) keeps its planes in huge yards in desert areas because humidity aka water is terrible for metal because of rust. But these yards are called "boneyards" because its mostly retired aircraft. They re-service the parts from the old aircraft to use in the still functioning and in service aircraft. Most jets in service are kept in hangars near the airstrip to protect from the elements :)
With what we now have, it will not even be a short skirmish.
Not that we would ever start such a thing with the UK.
Mom’s eyes are so beautiful!
Mom looks great!
Interesting breakdown.
Being an American who greatly values our alliance and the British people, I hope and pray this never happens.
I would love a video on the German bunkers and such left from WW2 and a look-see of Jersey. Great Idea!
Don't forget that a large portion of the British military equipment comes from the US. In a war, the US would just just cut off replacement parts and gradually the equipment would be useless.
Not only can we (the U.S.) deploy troops and fight 2 theaters of war at a time, possibly even more terrifying, we have the ability to deploy a fully operational Burger King anywhere in the world in under 24 hrs.😂😂😂
I love the Mum/Mom videos. I hope they keep coming.
I think Europe should have simulated wars with the U.S. where the U.S. cuts off logistics and intelligence with them and see how well they could defend themselves from an adversary. How they would stage attacks and repel them.
The Royal Navy was the largest and most powerful navy in the world from some time in the 1700s until 1943. The U.S. Navy inherited the job of "global policeman" from them. The Royal Navy maintained a large fleet for some years after World War 2, but the UK couldn't afford it at the time and doesn't need to spend that much now, since we in the U.S. have given a blank check (cheque) to our military.
Not 1943 actually was during George Washington days. Check that history out. I do believe Fat Electrician did a video on exactly that
You mentioned where do we store all the air crafts for a carrier group. They are normally sent to U.S. naval air station's around the world. Carriers never come into port with any aircraft actually on them. They need to be underway to launch fighter jets. Same with the British navy. We learned a hard lesson December 7th 1941. Pearl harbor the U.S. navy has been spread out ever since. I live in a navy town. Sometimes British ships as well as Carriers and other vessels from other friendly nations come to America for training. They always send their fighter squadrons to land at the Naval Air station usually a couple days before the carrier arrives.
the jet car park is for old planes just in case we needem its in the desert the planes we use are all over the country there are multiple bases in every state.
It's a "fun" video, but that would never happen. Those forces would be used as a shield in front of the UK, never as a knife in the back.
Never underestimate what Could happen. It definitely could happen. Look at what US government did to its own people with the first amendment or the second amendment. No one thought that could ever happen but they silence or cancel American citizens everyday for information they dont like. So saying this couldn't happen is not correct. Anything could happen. Not saying I ever want it to happen but it most certainly could
Just address us as Sir and behave, we will not have a problem !!!
The U.S. does have large stockpiles of planes, tanks, and infantry fighting vehicles parked in the desert of Arizona.
As a retired US Army Paratrooper, the LAST army I’d want to fight is the British Army… Yes, the British Army is small, but it punches way above its weight class. I do not fear the Russians, Chinese or the Iranians, since they can’t even match or think of matching the British Army and their fighting abilities AND spirit. Seriously, the United States and the United Kingdom will never come to blows since we share a common history, culture and a significant percentage of bloodlines since most Americans have some amount of British blood…. In reality, an attack on the UK is an attack on the US and the world knows this.
So happy that you're our Allies. After watching you're videos the thought of going to war with you is heartbreaking. Love you're channel and baby Archie ❤❤ also you're Momma is an amazing Lady.
The good thing is that we’d never even have a reason to do anything like this. We are literal cousins, and we appreciate the transatlantic relationship.
We’re family, so we’ll get mad at you, and you’ll get annoyed with us, but we’ll kiss and make up instead of invading!
Moms is doing great.
England is roughly the size of Alabama, and at one point, the British Empire controlled 1/4 of the land on Earth. That was only roughly a hundred years ago (1922).
Times have certainly changed.
At one time, the Sun never set on the British Empire.
Here in Florida we have 6 Air Force bases.
I like it you guys have your mothers on here. It's fun to watch. And your right we are friends and would never invade the mother country.
james you guys should get a magnet fishing kit and magnet fish the coast never know what you might pull up who knows may pull up ww2 relics of the germans
I hate even thinking of such a terrible scenario, but…there’s no discussion of potential civilian deaths and the total destruction of infrastructure. Meanwhile, I assume the U.S. would remain unscathed. More interesting would be how the U.S., the UK and our mutual allies would stand against threats from the likes of Russia, China and North Korea.
James check out USS Gerald R Ford it was in Portsmouth UK in 2019
When excavating any areas have they ever found any world war two bombs.
If we were going to conquer the Uk we would take jersey as command post lol look on bright you get some good food
There is an Airplane Graveyard in America. Somewhere in the western desert.
Tucson Arizona
I wish we'd gotten more screen time from your mom and your sister too from your US visit...especially the food tastings and eating. Would love to know their thoughts as well.
This is a great example of why things would be very different if Russia and NATO went to war.
All the same things that would happen to the UK here is what would happen to Russia (only with all of NATO's equipment, not just the US's).
Only then would NATO ground troops get involved, with the protection of full air superiority.
EDIT: I'd like to add my vote for you guys showing some of the WWII stuff still on your island. It's unlikely I'll ever get out there in person.
If the USA and the UK ever got into a war against each other it would be in a world I wouldn't want to live in.
When so many countries farm out their defense to the US, we stand to benefit from the excess implements.
Archie is going to be a pilot.
It would take a lot for a conflict like this to begin. Even if there is a war which leads to an invasion, I truly feel that most, if not all of the Western European nations will join forces with the U.K. You would then have to consider all of the U.K.'s loyal territories around the world.
I'm American I lived in BIOT, Brits are smart wouldn't fight back allow the conquering surrender declare themselves having dual citizenship start buying houses in America 🤣
Mom is a verry clever girl.
Thankfully we are both friends, and this will almost certainly never happen. You're right about the investment in your own military though. That's really been the reason (and sometimes the excuse) for why we've built up so much. We've always wanted to be overwhelmingly powerful in defense of ourself and our friends, so that no one would try anything. We learned in the early days after we joined the fight during WW2 what being unprepared for a war starting would cost us.
It would be great to see y'all build up your plane industry again. The RAF has such a marvelous history, and has flown such legendary aircraft. Y'all should continue that, IMO.
Let's stay friends.
I recommend watching “THE NFL FOOTBALL ICEBERG EXPLAINED” by Owen Kung, very informative and features loads of football trivia and scandals
Why would it ever want to as GB is its closest ally . Don't know why they come up with these ridiculous questions.
It's hypothetical. We beat them before and defended them since. It's just a modern example of potential. War games are fought every year
As has been said, it's hypothetical but don't act like friends don't become enemies regularly and we sure didn't start off on the right foot with each other. Anything is possible. 😂
Very pretty as always. Im glad that we are allies.
It would help if the British had right to bear arms. Then their citizens could put up a stronger resistance.
I really find this troubling, I hope people in the UK don't believe Americans think about this.
Why, you must not know the history of the UK......All they did was steal and conquer other countries. Hhahahaha
Check out the video on the USS Gerald Ford ?! Our newest
it would happen with a quickness.
US is like… 40x the area of the UK / 4.5x the population?
That’s a rough match up even if you start both sides with ZERO military and US spent half as much GDP as the UK… USA would be ready at least 5x as fast
With the military industrial complex in the U.S., the U.K. wouldn't stand a chance...except...the U.K. does have nukes.
But still....we are great friends, and the U.S. would never invade the U.K.
Conquer UK ? !. Heck I just want to Marry Mum in Vagas !
I understand that you are a sovereign "state" (Each state in The USA is sovereign) but I wish that you were a member of the United States. I absolutely love it in the UK. Most Americans love the United Kingdom and wish that we could travel back and forth freely. My wife and I would retire there if we could afford it. I understand that our countries (states) have a "special relationship" but I wish that it were closer. Do you think that Brits would want that. It's just imagination, but what is your thought?
Believe it or not, one night in Sicily, I had a Brit sailor ask me, how I would react if we went to war. He didn't like my answer.
He must didn't like it when you told him we'd turn his entire country into a parking lot. LMAO

Isn't there enough conflict and bloodshed around the world? Do we really need military videos from a family channel? We live in very dangerous times.
Hi
We would not do that
Silly. Texas could do it by itself.
Maybe you could show this to Iran 😊
You ought to react to Area 51.
Mom is kind of a hottie!
Would never happen
Mom is cool. To me she's a young chick. 😊
Thumbs up because I love you guys good luck with the new baby :-) but psychologically thumbs down because I’m American and we don’t wanna fight Britain :-) there’s enough negativity in the world without thinking about fighting our friends. We have our own battle trying to get rid of Trump. It’s enough to deal with.
