China and India have far greater populations. If it were to come to it, India in my mind would no doubt ally with the USA and take not only their disputed border areas areas but much farther into the ccp territory. The CCP wants to rule as fascists race supremacists it will only get you so far. If any other nation or even an alliance of multinations were to attack the USA, they would stand next to no chance.

I on one of many that have trained their families how to fight. I have 4 children and I’m currently training my 3rd. The 2 older ones have a side arm, semiautomatic rifle and a shotgun.. they are properly trained and my wife has been training as a combat medic for her adult life. Americans pride ourselves on our freedom. Don’t tread on me.
Both Papa and Momma were of exactly the same mold! Papa was a Marine, Momma an Army Nurse (They met during the 'Nam conflict). Of four children, I the only (And youngest) daughter, ALL of us were learning wrestling/grappling/take-down/pain compliance/etc. techniques from the time we could learn (With the ass-whuppin' COMMANDMENT we never, ever start a fight with anyone, else WE would suffer for it (Via Papa/Momma's wrath!)), and all of us are 'Expert' with small arms. Two of my three older brothers became a Marine, the third choose to join the Army (And we still give him grief over that one!), and I too became a Marine, though this is not what Papa wanted to see me do. Part of any Parent's duty is to educate and teach their children what the real world is, and how to navigate and survive it. Sounds like you took that to heart, and an awesome 'Well done!' from me! :-D
The freedom that's been getting chipped away for decades to the point it no longer resembles the freedom we began with? I'd be more concerned with the enemies within our own borders.... seeing as that's how every great nation has collapsed...than our enemies without.
The video didn't mention how many kids know how to hunt and shoot. Also, we know how to track, and know if we are being tracked by a predator such as a bear or mountain lion. And we know how to hide to get our kill. We also used cellular game cams so we will know if something was coming.
@@rafehr1378 Those people are psychopaths, cowards, thieves, and poor kids just trying to survive. They would sell out to an invader in a minute, if they could make a buck off it. You think Gangster Disciples are going to give their lives for patriotism?
The Pancho Villa Campaign also saw another young officer that would become legend in WWII.....Gen. George Patton. Apparently it was his first combat albeit small but it would lead to his legend.
YOu were talking about guns and American people and so many being children .. you needed to keep in mind many of our kids start handling Guns as early as 6 years old or so. My dad started target practice with my brother and me i think i was around 7. I have a great nephew that has been hunting since he was 5 or 6. Took down his first deer (buck) at 6 or 7. And has taken may down since in the past 2 or 3 years. My brother started teaching my niece how to handle a gun by age 5. Honestly it’s our kids that would be our best gunmen apart from out military because they would be unexpected. No one expects to be taken down by a 7 year old. That’s not including our weather, and bodies of water, mountains and valleys and such.
We Americans can sometimes be divided on certain things, but we are ONE when it comes to protecting our Country! That will never change... I pray for no more wars....
Any time they say invading the west coast especially into the Seattle and Tacoma area in Washington to take over a deep water port have no idea why there is such a large military presence here and what they're protecting. You have to go decently far into the Puget Sound to get to Seattle and even further to Tacoma. All awhile you have to pass by multiple islands and hilltops along the shore that can easily be set up with a missile system for defense against oncoming enemy ships. There are old forts found in these exact spots to protect against this very scenario. You have one of the largest Naval bases in the country protecting this area. The submarine force here carry about 1/3 of the U.S.'s entire actively deployed nukes (about 720 nukes). The USS Nimitz aircraft carrier with it's carrier strike group are based in this region. You have multiple Naval Air Stations in this area protecting the region. To top it off you have one of the largest Army bases where the 1st Special Forces are stationed combined with an Air Force base on the southern part of the Puget Sound area. The geography in this area gives a huge advantage to the U.S.. You have a very forested and mountainous terrain and fighting against the U.S. who know this area intimately. So tell me again how invading and taking over the Seattle/Tacoma deep water ports will work? You have to fight a large military, veterans, pissed off locals having trouble getting their coffee because of an invader, terrain and likely all while in the rain. If they try, just remember, we're just a push of a button away to launch 720 nukes each capable of destroying a city and millions of people. Again, this is just from the military already there without reinforcements. Hope it never happens

If you look between Alaska and Russia you will see 2 small islands. One belongs to Russia and one belongs to Alaska (the US). These islands are (if memory serves) about 3 miles apart.
34:02 - You are quite correct to be concerned about nuclear warfare. Even if the UK were to not jump in to assist anyone, the UK is part of NATO (which is viewed as a “Western power.” That by definition places a target on the UK. Not to mention Article 5 of the NATO alliance which would very likely be invoked.
You are not stupid Millie! I hate that word, but also you are one of the most charming, intelligent young women I know. Any body that tells you different is wrong. I bet not one person comes for you as you said. Everyone does these things. Call it a “brain fart”. That’s what my nephew says anyway.

Just for folks reference: The US not only has multiple satellite layers for intelligence collection purposes, there are also multiple aircraft platforms that fly nearly continuously collecting intelligence as well… and also high altitude unmanned aerial aircraft platforms. The U.S. and Canada also both operate NORAD which detect any airborne air assets that don’t belong to the U.S., Canada or Mexico. Mexico, the U.S. and Canada also have mutual aid agreements for the protection of the entire North American continent… for which financial protections and benefits are provided for. From a logistics standpoint alone, any invading force would be ground to a halt in short order. Invading forces would soon run short of food & fuel, mostly fuel, and would then run into a major quagmire with State National Guard units as well as the 150 Million or so armed American citizens. In short, anyone thinking they can just “walk into” the U.S., would find a rather rude wake up call before they got within 15 miles of our borders.
Add to that the bullshit of EMP defeating America, i can say for a fact since about 65 there's defense, protocol and counter ready. The first hint of EMP strike, retaliation is at 15,000 mph out of very protected silos
The US military wouldn't even need to activate the national guard. The amount of citizens with weapons in the US would cause so much havoc any invader would be lucky to get 50 miles inland.
Your thoughts on the amount of guns in the U.S. yes, they count babies in that statistic, I may have multiple systems that cover a multitude of situations. And, like myself, there are a considerable number of well trained veterans. I was a combat engineer, which is land mine warfare and demolitions... There is a ton of military experience in our civilian population.
The document the US intercepted was called the "Zimmerman Document", named after the German Ambasador. Sounds like a cool name for a spy novel. That document was why the US entered WW1.
One thing they didn't mention about radar systems that the US have. It didn't take into account the commercial industry. They have enough backup systems in the commercial industry to have more than what an attacking enemy has even if the attacking industry destroyed the military systems. To help you understand, the Starlink system that the Ukrainians are currently using is a commercial system not military.
The US & Canada have a combined organization, NORAD (NORTH American Aerospace Defense Command), specifically designed to detect potential invasions and incoming missiles early. There is also the Inter-American Treaty of Reciprocal Defense, which is essentially a version of NATO for North, South & Central America.
Each state has it's own military as well. Any invasion would have to deal with each state's national guard. Along with the coast guard and of course the AF, Marines, Army, etc. If all that fails, the civilians own 46% of the world's civilian guns. There's more guns than people in America lol. Where I live we have 4 year olds that can shoot better than most adults.
Our government has already thought about EMP attacks and have already taken measures to counteract that. Our crucial Communications are all now protected against emps, So emps would not knock out our communication Network. 😂
"They could be on Hollywood Blvd!" Yeah, it's not like they have to get through the Pearl Harbor fleet, San Diego fleet, 29 Palms and their Marines, the Navy Seals, Fort Bragg, etc 😅
On the east coast you can't drive more than a couple hours without passing a military base then you have to go through the Appalachian mountains some of the twisted and curvy mountains in the us crossing various large rivers/swamps. West cost is more cliff than flat Beach then have to go up multiple massive mountain ranges and across a desert to begin getting to the rest of the country. Most of the west coast is supersets by various bridges over steep canyons and water if any route was blocked or damaged it would probably add on weeks or months for the advancement
You are both right and both wrong on Alaska and Russia. You cannot walk to the mainland anymore that was in the Bering strait, theorized to have a frozen bridge and how Native Americans got to North America well over 10,000 years ago. That strait does not freeze anymore but there is a couple of islands that occasionally get enough frozen water that one could technically walk from the US to Russia, though both islands are uninhabited. And she is right in that Russia to Alaska is closer than UK to France if you go from islands is only 2.4 miles, that's the place is sometimes possible to walk too. So much closer than UK is to France, mainland to mainland is 55 miles from Alaska to Russia so that is further than the channel which is 20 miles, Jersey is only 42 miles away, IDk if that would count though.
I can't remember where I heard it but someone said that anyone who thought trying to invade through Texas was a good idea was insane. They said not only would you have to contend with U.S. military but the civilians and Texans were crazy...and armed to the teeth. 😂
We also have jets that will go coast to coast in something crazy, like twelve minutes don't quote me on this but I think it's shorter time than that like 3-6
I don't think that is accurate at all. The F15-E can fly at about Mach 2.4 from what I've read. Which would take about 1 hour 45 minutes assuming 3350ish miles from coast to coast. To do it in 12 minutes they would have to be flying at like Mach 18. IF we have that tech I want to see it as I'm sure it would look awesome.
They left out the whole Mexican American war, thing, the major details that led to it, Texas wanted help in this, as they were a territory, the US government didn’t help them, so Texas seceded, then we declared war on Texas, but Mexico kept invading Texas, which we seen as ours, even though they declared their independence as we didn’t help them, the Alamo happened, the. The us government intervened and guess who smashed Mexico down under our boot heels. The mighty USMC, and took their capitol, hence in The Marine Corps hymn “from the halls of montezuma” also during that campaign where the “blood stripe” on our dress blue uniforms comes from the battle of Chapultepec, they were earned in blood. They also left out at the battle of Baton Rouge in the war of 1812, US Marines were instrumental and the only actual military force in any numbers there, yes lots of local, including former slaves, and ones who got their freedom from that fight, they all fought hard and did amazing. And yeah, we smashed the Brit’s flat in that fight. Leadership, tactics helped, but just the crazy level of fight is what won the day, everything else just made it better.
My grandpa was part of the force that retook atu, I’m half Alaskan native, he and my moms and uncles on their side all born in Sitka, Alaska and 100% Alaskan native, my grandpa went on to serve the rest of WWII, then in Korea, and one tour in Vietnam, early on, before being retired due to medical and age reasons as an E-9. He was loved by his men, and sadly ended up being hated for a time, by my grandma and mom, aunts and uncles, he was sadly a horrible alcoholic, being 100% native doesn’t help, anyone who knows, knows, but he also had horrendous PTSD, and could be very violent and brutual, after seeing and serving in 3 wars, in infantry. He used to be a good man, still was, but was not a nice man, at times, and our intolerance for alcohol doesn’t help at all. Probably doesn’t help, before WWII in the early stages of the Great Depression, in the territory of Alaska, him and his dad and grandparents used to hunt down Russians and Russian sympathizers and kill them, brutually, mainly by capturing them. Then hurting them up to their necks at low tide on the beach, and watching the tide come in on them. He seen that as a kid, multiple times. You think regular Americans hate Russia/soviets and communists, go find an old native, 80’s to 90’s in Alaska, and ask them about. You will learn a whole new level of hatred. For what they did to us, hint. It’s the same thing they do to Ukraine or anyone else they invade. My grandma was 5 years younger than him, and she lived a lot longer…her absolute hatred of Russians was a new level, my ancestors out hitler to shame with his hatred of the Russians, we just never had the power he had, if we had his economy and power…you’d all be reading about how Alaska’s genocideded russia. we are genetically descended frok the same people who genghis kahn came from. we just went east and south very early on. we share genes with mongolia, siberia and parts of china that border that area, but left and became our own thing. we were also the asshole viking types of natives in north America back in the day, that all tribes feared and hated on the west coast.
Promise, no one is getting to Tacoma or Seattle or Everett. I also don't think this video acknowledges civilians who are just ready to go because hell yeah.
USA and logistics. No other country or people in history understand what it takes to move food, fuel, trucks, aircraft, tanks, weapons, ammunition and 1 plus million troops 4,000 miles east across the Atlantic Ocean from USA to Germany (while we were being shot at by their submarines and planes) and land them by boat! All the while simultaneously doing the same 4,000 miles west to Japan. Also not to mention we simultaneously were sending "mass" quantities of food and military equipment to our great friends the Brits. We sent a huge amount to russia as well - but that was just to give Hitler a jab in his eye. Love ya'll
uh, by the end of WWII canada had the third largest navy in the world and had been tasked with protecting the north atlantic corridor throughout the war as canada had been in it from the start, unlike the late coming glory hounds.
I read a fascinating book about the history of Barnum's and Bailey's Circus. When they toured through Europe during the 1930's, Hitler had spies taking notes about their ability to move huge amounts of people, equipment and materials. What they learned from the Americans helped them launch blitzkrieg.
Seattle and Tacoma Washington are heavily guarded by navy bases and Air force bases going all the way down from the straight of Jaun de Fuca. It would be suicide in that channel. Now open water ports might be slightly easier. 😅
@14 mins I agree, those troops have to deal with at least 90 Million Veterans who are armed to defend this country and another 100 Million gun owners who are law abiding citizens who will fight Foreign powers off.
Francis Scott Key while Fort McHenry in Baltimore Harbor was being bombed. Have you seen the film, World War Z? Great film about a deadly virus spreading worldwide. It's a good movie.
I started shooting at 5 and hunting at six it would be horrible but worst case scenario it’s not unreasonable to think that kids at a pretty young age could be fighting or assisting with he resistance at some level
I was a Medic in the North Carolina Army National guard from 1981 to 1987. Veterans would help defend the United States in addition to all the Armed Civilians,
You have to consider that every year there are more snipers in the forests of the United States than all the nations armies combined. They are called hunters.
Btw, dont see anyone talking about it but China is currently going through a major change, theyre losing their major industry to india, their male population is apparently shrinking with a lot being old men, younger generation is protesting an end to the CCP single party state, suspicion of Chinese GDP being staged and its much lower than it actually is. So yeah China is going through some problems. I basically just sumned the problems up so would recommend researching to get the full picture.
These videos rarely take into account the sheer amount of weaponry in the hands of USA citizens. Citizens have more guns than most militaries in the world. I think this includes our own military. The FBI estimates civilian owned guns to be around 600,000,000. We do like our guns. A lot.
Even before US forces could mobilize. Local Law Enforcement supported with civilian volunteers ( 10K+ in hours) would set battle lines until the military could reinforce these lines within 72 hrs.
Aw. It's true I laugh at the things young people don't know, but I have to admit I still don't know anything about WWI, and I'm 65. I tried to read a short history about it, but got completely confused. I only remember that influenza killed more young people than the war (including my great aunt), and JRR Tolkien lost all his college pals in that war. I DID just find out recently that before WWII Navajo Code Talkers, there were WWI Choctaw Code Talkers. Live and learn. Greetings from Los Angeles.
Just throwing this out there for you guys but if you ever wanted to know "What if" the Axis powers won WW2 read or watch Man in the High Castle. Of course the book is better than the show but it's well worth either one.
28:24 nearly all critical military equipment and most Federal (and even some State and lower) governmental equipment and buildings are 'hardened' against EMP attacks. even some civilians have measures in place to protect against EMP attacks as well...
Large megaton airbursts (used to flatten as much as possible) cause surprisingly little fallout. The bombs would have to be on the ground to disturb enough earth and eject the debris into the airstream. The Tzar Bomba (50 megatons) was the cleanest nuke ever detonated besides the test done in space, which had zero fallout.
We don't go to war to train our troops, it just happens. I served in the mid to late 80s, a kinda peaceful time. Half of my drill instructors in basic were Vietnam vets. Europe in the late eighties was a terrorism nightmare. Even off duty you had to pay attention. Some middle east but mostly lefties.
33:27 they both reach a great point. Almost like it would be M.A.D. (mutually assured destruction) to do so 😉. Also, to really put this into perspective, we now carry an arsenal of Hydrogen Bombs that are many thousands of times more powerful than the ones the U.S. used in WWII. The root of the argument is ALWAYS be a decent person.
Uhmmm Sorry an EMP would not blind the U.S. military, U.S. Military hardware is harddnened to EMP attacks, and upon an EMP attack 4 Specialized Planes would Crisscross the U.S. guilding troop movements and reporting on Invading troop movements

We have no power. We are $34T in debt to unnamed Jewish Federal Reserve shareholders, and our military has a very poor modern military track record. We peaked in the 1950's. It's been "Rome's decline" ever since. Hard blackpill to swallow, I know, but it's time to demand that our politicians stop laundering money to countries like Israel and stop funding thousands of bases around the world.
America is the country embodiment of the phrase “fuck around and find out.”

Mexico, the U.S. and Canada also have mutual aid agreements for the protection of the entire North American continent… for which financial protections and benefits are provided for.
From a logistics standpoint alone, any invading force would be ground to a halt in short order. Invading forces would soon run short of food & fuel, mostly fuel, and would then run into a major quagmire with State National Guard units as well as the 150 Million or so armed American citizens.
In short, anyone thinking they can just “walk into” the U.S., would find a rather rude wake up call before they got within 15 miles of our borders.
Add to that the bullshit of EMP defeating America, i can say for a fact since about 65 there's defense, protocol and counter ready. The first hint of EMP strike, retaliation is at 15,000 mph out of very protected silos
The US military wouldn't even need to activate the national guard. The amount of citizens with weapons in the US would cause so much havoc any invader would be lucky to get 50 miles inland.
Your thoughts on the amount of guns in the U.S. yes, they count babies in that statistic, I may have multiple systems that cover a multitude of situations. And, like myself, there are a considerable number of well trained veterans. I was a combat engineer, which is land mine warfare and demolitions... There is a ton of military experience in our civilian population.
Everyone has brain farts🤣 it’s okay
Not what that was... she didn't know.
Next episode: Why British people think Germany was their friend in WWII.
The document the US intercepted was called the "Zimmerman Document", named after the German Ambasador. Sounds like a cool name for a spy novel. That document was why the US entered WW1.
James is legit concerned for Millie. Love you guys!!!
One thing they didn't mention about radar systems that the US have. It didn't take into account the commercial industry. They have enough backup systems in the commercial industry to have more than what an attacking enemy has even if the attacking industry destroyed the military systems. To help you understand, the Starlink system that the Ukrainians are currently using is a commercial system not military.
Check out the movie Red Dawn, then imagine instead of high school kids it was American combat Vets like myself. Bring it, sounds fun.
The US & Canada have a combined organization, NORAD (NORTH American Aerospace Defense Command), specifically designed to detect potential invasions and incoming missiles early. There is also the Inter-American Treaty of Reciprocal Defense, which is essentially a version of NATO for North, South & Central America.
Each state has it's own military as well. Any invasion would have to deal with each state's national guard. Along with the coast guard and of course the AF, Marines, Army, etc. If all that fails, the civilians own 46% of the world's civilian guns. There's more guns than people in America lol. Where I live we have 4 year olds that can shoot better than most adults.
Modern tanks are not actually that slow. I recommend checking out videos of what modern tanks can do.
When are you guys coming "home" again?!
Our government has already thought about EMP attacks and have already taken measures to counteract that. Our crucial Communications are all now protected against emps, So emps would not knock out our communication Network. 😂
"They could be on Hollywood Blvd!" Yeah, it's not like they have to get through the Pearl Harbor fleet, San Diego fleet, 29 Palms and their Marines, the Navy Seals, Fort Bragg, etc 😅
Fort Bragg, CA, is a civilian town. You're thinking of Fort Bragg, NC. Lol
On the east coast you can't drive more than a couple hours without passing a military base then you have to go through the Appalachian mountains some of the twisted and curvy mountains in the us crossing various large rivers/swamps. West cost is more cliff than flat Beach then have to go up multiple massive mountain ranges and across a desert to begin getting to the rest of the country. Most of the west coast is supersets by various bridges over steep canyons and water if any route was blocked or damaged it would probably add on weeks or months for the advancement
You are both right and both wrong on Alaska and Russia. You cannot walk to the mainland anymore that was in the Bering strait, theorized to have a frozen bridge and how Native Americans got to North America well over 10,000 years ago. That strait does not freeze anymore but there is a couple of islands that occasionally get enough frozen water that one could technically walk from the US to Russia, though both islands are uninhabited. And she is right in that Russia to Alaska is closer than UK to France if you go from islands is only 2.4 miles, that's the place is sometimes possible to walk too. So much closer than UK is to France, mainland to mainland is 55 miles from Alaska to Russia so that is further than the channel which is 20 miles, Jersey is only 42 miles away, IDk if that would count though.
James: Imagine if Germany won WWII
Milly: Well they didn’t
James then gaslights her.
Thats Francis Scott Key
About the EMPs, sadly our grid system is designed where to shut down the majority of our power, you only need to strike three places.
I can't remember where I heard it but someone said that anyone who thought trying to invade through Texas was a good idea was insane. They said not only would you have to contend with U.S. military but the civilians and Texans were crazy...and armed to the teeth. 😂
Space let us know of any issues. Just as we watch them all.
Wolverines!!
Loved that movie!
@@Cookie217 Me too! The original only!
The funniest episode in a while LMAO
We also have jets that will go coast to coast in something crazy, like twelve minutes don't quote me on this but I think it's shorter time than that like 3-6
I don't think that is accurate at all. The F15-E can fly at about Mach 2.4 from what I've read. Which would take about 1 hour 45 minutes assuming 3350ish miles from coast to coast. To do it in 12 minutes they would have to be flying at like Mach 18. IF we have that tech I want to see it as I'm sure it would look awesome.
They left out the whole Mexican American war, thing, the major details that led to it, Texas wanted help in this, as they were a territory, the US government didn’t help them, so Texas seceded, then we declared war on Texas, but Mexico kept invading Texas, which we seen as ours, even though they declared their independence as we didn’t help them, the Alamo happened, the. The us government intervened and guess who smashed Mexico down under our boot heels. The mighty USMC, and took their capitol, hence in The Marine Corps hymn “from the halls of montezuma” also during that campaign where the “blood stripe” on our dress blue uniforms comes from the battle of Chapultepec, they were earned in blood. They also left out at the battle of Baton Rouge in the war of 1812, US Marines were instrumental and the only actual military force in any numbers there, yes lots of local, including former slaves, and ones who got their freedom from that fight, they all fought hard and did amazing. And yeah, we smashed the Brit’s flat in that fight. Leadership, tactics helped, but just the crazy level of fight is what won the day, everything else just made it better.
Someone probably already stated this, but Francis Scott Key wrote the Star Spangled Banner while watching the attack of Fort McHenry
Big Diomede (Russia) and Little Diomede ( USA) are 2 islands separated by only 3.8 km apart.
My grandpa was part of the force that retook atu, I’m half Alaskan native, he and my moms and uncles on their side all born in Sitka, Alaska and 100% Alaskan native, my grandpa went on to serve the rest of WWII, then in Korea, and one tour in Vietnam, early on, before being retired due to medical and age reasons as an E-9. He was loved by his men, and sadly ended up being hated for a time, by my grandma and mom, aunts and uncles, he was sadly a horrible alcoholic, being 100% native doesn’t help, anyone who knows, knows, but he also had horrendous PTSD, and could be very violent and brutual, after seeing and serving in 3 wars, in infantry. He used to be a good man, still was, but was not a nice man, at times, and our intolerance for alcohol doesn’t help at all. Probably doesn’t help, before WWII in the early stages of the Great Depression, in the territory of Alaska, him and his dad and grandparents used to hunt down Russians and Russian sympathizers and kill them, brutually, mainly by capturing them. Then hurting them up to their necks at low tide on the beach, and watching the tide come in on them. He seen that as a kid, multiple times. You think regular Americans hate Russia/soviets and communists, go find an old native, 80’s to 90’s in Alaska, and ask them about. You will learn a whole new level of hatred. For what they did to us, hint. It’s the same thing they do to Ukraine or anyone else they invade. My grandma was 5 years younger than him, and she lived a lot longer…her absolute hatred of Russians was a new level, my ancestors out hitler to shame with his hatred of the Russians, we just never had the power he had, if we had his economy and power…you’d all be reading about how Alaska’s genocideded russia. we are genetically descended frok the same people who genghis kahn came from. we just went east and south very early on. we share genes with mongolia, siberia and parts of china that border that area, but left and became our own thing. we were also the asshole viking types of natives in north America back in the day, that all tribes feared and hated on the west coast.
Promise, no one is getting to Tacoma or Seattle or Everett. I also don't think this video acknowledges civilians who are just ready to go because hell yeah.
Ok, I spoke too soon but, there are a ridiculous amount of people who are trained and not military and would be so stoked to defend where we live.
USA and logistics. No other country or people in history understand what it takes to move food, fuel, trucks, aircraft, tanks, weapons, ammunition and 1 plus million troops 4,000 miles east across the Atlantic Ocean from USA to Germany (while we were being shot at by their submarines and planes) and land them by boat! All the while simultaneously doing the same 4,000 miles west to Japan.
Also not to mention we simultaneously were sending "mass" quantities of food and military equipment to our great friends the Brits. We sent a huge amount to russia as well - but that was just to give Hitler a jab in his eye.
Love ya'll
uh, by the end of WWII canada had the third largest navy in the world and had been tasked with protecting the north atlantic corridor throughout the war as canada had been in it from the start, unlike the late coming glory hounds.
I read a fascinating book about the history of Barnum's and Bailey's Circus. When they toured through Europe during the 1930's, Hitler had spies taking notes about their ability to move huge amounts of people, equipment and materials. What they learned from the Americans helped them launch blitzkrieg.
Fort McHenry in the port of Baltimore Maryland
Seattle and Tacoma Washington are heavily guarded by navy bases and Air force bases going all the way down from the straight of Jaun de Fuca. It would be suicide in that channel. Now open water ports might be slightly easier. 😅
@14 mins I agree, those troops have to deal with at least 90 Million Veterans who are armed to defend this country and another 100 Million gun owners who are law abiding citizens who will fight Foreign powers off.
Francis Scott Key while Fort McHenry in Baltimore Harbor was being bombed.
Have you seen the film, World War Z? Great film about a deadly virus spreading worldwide. It's a good movie.
The Channel Islands were under Nazi German occupation from 30 June 30, 1940, until May 9, 1945.😢
Come at the west coast and find out. We got civies that will fight, not just Military
Google! Loved the video James and Millie!
I started shooting at 5 and hunting at six it would be horrible but worst case scenario it’s not unreasonable to think that kids at a pretty young age could be fighting or assisting with he resistance at some level
fun fact on the island of kiska the us troops and canadian troops fought eachother thinking they were japanese
I was a Medic in the North Carolina Army National guard from 1981 to 1987. Veterans would help defend the United States in addition to all the Armed Civilians,
You have to consider that every year there are more snipers in the forests of the United States than all the nations armies combined. They are called hunters.
What's funny is their are plenty of foreigners trying to get into USA military bases.. saw it somewhere forget where though
It was For McHenry that they attempted to destroy, but failed.
Bro remember that most adults have more than one gun
Btw, dont see anyone talking about it but China is currently going through a major change, theyre losing their major industry to india, their male population is apparently shrinking with a lot being old men, younger generation is protesting an end to the CCP single party state, suspicion of Chinese GDP being staged and its much lower than it actually is. So yeah China is going through some problems. I basically just sumned the problems up so would recommend researching to get the full picture.
These videos rarely take into account the sheer amount of weaponry in the hands of USA citizens. Citizens have more guns than most militaries in the world. I think this includes our own military. The FBI estimates civilian owned guns to be around 600,000,000. We do like our guns. A lot.
It also needs to be kept in mind he majority of our Military is voluntary where many other countries are mandatory.
Even before US forces could mobilize. Local Law Enforcement supported with civilian volunteers ( 10K+ in hours) would set battle lines until the military could reinforce these lines within 72 hrs.
Aw. It's true I laugh at the things young people don't know, but I have to admit I still don't know anything about WWI, and I'm 65. I tried to read a short history about it, but got completely confused. I only remember that influenza killed more young people than the war (including my great aunt), and JRR Tolkien lost all his college pals in that war. I DID just find out recently that before WWII Navajo Code Talkers, there were WWI Choctaw Code Talkers. Live and learn. Greetings from Los Angeles.
Anyone else. ot that the video showed Wake Island thousands of miles east of where it actually is located?
20:55. That discreet sip of wine 🍷 though. You deserve it Girl.😊
Just throwing this out there for you guys but if you ever wanted to know "What if" the Axis powers won WW2 read or watch Man in the High Castle. Of course the book is better than the show but it's well worth either one.
The UK won't stay out of it. Imsorry to say but they're bound by treaty to back us up in that kind of scenario
What you’re thinking of is Francis Scott key at Fort McHenry
Most military equipment are protected from EMP.
28:24
nearly all critical military equipment and most Federal (and even some State and lower) governmental equipment and buildings are 'hardened' against EMP attacks. even some civilians have measures in place to protect against EMP attacks as well...
In a full scale nuclear exchange everyone on earth would die after the atmosphere was blocked by fallout and the ensuing nuclear winter.
about everyone!
Large megaton airbursts (used to flatten as much as possible) cause surprisingly little fallout. The bombs would have to be on the ground to disturb enough earth and eject the debris into the airstream. The Tzar Bomba (50 megatons) was the cleanest nuke ever detonated besides the test done in space, which had zero fallout.
Humans are too far spread out and way too adaptable to their environment to get completely wiped out.
Not me, I sit in my basement so much that I’d be used to no sun.
We don't go to war to train our troops, it just happens. I served in the mid to late 80s, a kinda peaceful time. Half of my drill instructors in basic were Vietnam vets. Europe in the late eighties was a terrorism nightmare. Even off duty you had to pay attention. Some middle east but mostly lefties.
You two are so cute! I love watching your videos and your dedication to learning so much about our country. 🇺🇸💞
Having to use highways because of mountains would force them into a killbox . The A-10's would have a field day 😃
If there was an EMP, people wouldn't know what was going on.
33:27 they both reach a great point. Almost like it would be M.A.D. (mutually assured destruction) to do so 😉. Also, to really put this into perspective, we now carry an arsenal of Hydrogen Bombs that are many thousands of times more powerful than the ones the U.S. used in WWII. The root of the argument is ALWAYS be a decent person.
Wait a minute, Mille is a teacher right?😂😂
Uhmmm Sorry an EMP would not blind the U.S. military, U.S. Military hardware is harddnened to EMP attacks, and upon an EMP attack 4 Specialized Planes would Crisscross the U.S. guilding troop movements and reporting on Invading troop movements
They are also fictional weapons, at least on the scale that often gets thrown around on such videos.
@@jdanon203 true, but just because they are fictional now, doesn't mean they stay fictional, 45 years ago Lasers were fictional, America now has them on warships
@@jdanon203 so yes I agree with you, but as fast as technology is advancing, I certainly wouldn't count out the possibilities
@@SolTerran5050 lol, you're way behind other countries on missile tech., never mind fantasy weapons.
@@blackberrythorns hahahaha keep dreaming, So why are we the Sole Super Power If we are so far behind, and America has made Missile tech obsolete 😂😂😂
As an American I know British history
dont forget behind evey blade of grass there is a American with a rifle
When Eisenhower created the Highway system, it is also designed to have a Quarter Mile of Stright way every so many miles to be airfeilds!
I'm retired Army and you are so right. That means more landing strips need in case of airplanes coming in from over seas.
I'm a American and I watch ya videos and still learn stuff like this video so ty for uploading this 😁
As a U.S. citizen, I greatly appreciate the comments at 16:50 - 17:10. So beautiful. I love how once our friends/allies (tour/work/school) here, they just understand why we want no problems. "With great power comes great responsibility." - Uncle Ben
We have no power. We are $34T in debt to unnamed Jewish Federal Reserve shareholders, and our military has a very poor modern military track record.
We peaked in the 1950's. It's been "Rome's decline" ever since. Hard blackpill to swallow, I know, but it's time to demand that our politicians stop laundering money to countries like Israel and stop funding thousands of bases around the world.
Millie! OMG!
