“They won’t acknowledge if there is a modern version of war plan red” Of course there is. The military leadership needs to prepare for every possibility no matter how likely/ unlikely.
War with the UK would be simple from a conventional weapons perspective . US carrier groups would quickly overwhelm UKs home defenses and then UK would be left deciding to go nuclear or not. A US invasion would prompt a nuclear strike I suspect. Which is why it will never happen. UK and USA will never go to war whilst both are nuclear powers.

Neil the US was the one suppling equipment to Britain, so it was American troops rocking American equipment and British troops rocking American equipment.
And that's why we brush our teeth. Because we went in the fourth quarter rather than the earlier quarters and didn't get entire counties of men killed. Since a lot of our men were still alive, they brought home trench mouth. And then Colgate worshipped their new god, which was US government propaganda to brush our teeth. Why was I writing this again? Oh yeah, I feel the need to floss right now.
But the US plan did succeed. 1. Supply both Germany and Britain with weapons until both broke. 2. Offer to help in return for a massive loan. 3. Demand Britain goes away from the gold standard in return for an even bigger loan. 4. Help Britain get rid of its empire. 5. UK finally pay's off loans on the 31st December 2006. 6. Claim to hate empires yet still be the only place in the world to still use Imperial measurements.
"The US has been in war for 92% of the time that it has existed, giving us so much free time." 😂😂🤣 That's too much free time. We gotta figure out how to get into mini wars to fill that remaining 8% of the time.
By the 1920s, tensions were rising noticeably between Great Britain and America. The British, having heard of the ambitious American naval building programme, were keen on maintaining their centuries-long naval supremacy. Despite emerging from WWI with one foot in bankruptcy, the Cabinet and Parliament were prepared to push British shipbuilding and financial reserves to new heights to match it. Even King George V gave his early support and it was even suggested that iHis Majesty use his Royal Prerogative to seize full control of the Empire's financial capacity to help pay for the new arms race.
I mean the UK actually planned on abandoning Canada until they could work up the forces to invade the US then after they win I dunno divided up the US into zones like they did Germany after WW2. I wonder how many troops that would take?
@Jason Buford that just means America wasnt in a desperate situation. Or as a antiamerican could say it: "you always took the easy targets" or "Bulling the weak"
@Jason Buford well USA also invests more into its Army than places 2-10 combined. While Schools are underfunded. But i guess Soldiers dont need to be educated much.
If it ever did happen (at this point in time) Canada would quickly side with the USA for a few reasons. Proximity, we dont have many soldiers or a very well equipped military, we trade with the USA more than any other country, and because we aren't all that fond of those tea drinking bastards anymore
The United States, The UK, and Canada are extremely close allies. When war breaks out, these 3 countries will be fighting along side each other. No need to fear a war breaking out between the United Kingdom and the United States, for they are the closest allies out of any other country.
Not really surprising, the British most likely have a plan in place too. As unlikely as the event is, all powerful nations try to prepare for any scenario. Better safe than sorry.
We have plans to fight anything and everything. Zombies? There's a plan for it. Alien invasion? There's a plan for it. The legions of Hell? There's a plan for it. Suddenly sentient stuffed animals? There's a plan for it.
There's also a plan in place should France randomly decide to fire all of its nuclear warheads. Things be like that in a country that can barely keep a stable government for more than 60 years.
@@AuxenceF currently France. We generally have a lower percentage of angry population than in the US and less social differences. The yellow vests were blown way out of proportion by anti-Macron media here and thus foreign media who only watches a select few newsreels apparently. Those dumbasses barely made up 5% of the population in favour of their reforms but actually were barely 1-2% of the population who actively protested. Wasn't helped by all the TH-camrs saying, "What's really happening in France..." and they were spewing garbage. We have protests with every single one of our presidents because we live in a direct democracy, and its been like that for the past 70 years. I'd say the government has been pretty stable considering nothing special is happening other than the Corona virus outbreak.
@@RabbiHerschel you clearly know nothing of the country in which I live. It is my pleasure to point out that white and non-white immigrants combined, only make up less than 10% of the French population, therefore less than 1 in 10 people. For the most part, these immigrants do their jobs, feed their families, and nothing changes. And no, religion is not a valid point because you can't legally preach religion in a public area, and there are more atheists than muslims in France, regardless. Personally I don't know many immigrants past the third generation who stay religious be they christians or muslims, or many immigrants at all for that matter considering how low the percentage of immigration actually is. Anyone who says immigrants are taking over the country is speaking out of their arse and simply trying to pin blame on a specific group to instill fear, which is a means of controlling a population. Oh, and did I forget to mention that there have been hundreds upon hundreds of waved of immigrants for the last 2000 years of History? Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

"So the US would Invade Canada" US Military: *arrives* Canadians (Like me): *we about to destroy these guys using hockey gear and asking them to please s t o p*
@@Hannahruda The British Empire burned the White House. Canada didn't exist yet. Also, the US was a poor backwater that had only won independence less than 40 years prior. In addition, the Americans burned the city of Toronto. A couple buildings for a city isn't that great of a revenge attack. But congratulations. Despite being the strongest country on Earth, you actually had a draw with a a poor, agricultural country.
@@aryanbhuta3382 also, York (what would become toronto) only had under 1,500 people and while the Americans had a clear victory the town wasn't really important in military terms and they didn't cripple the provincial marines in lake ontario. Washington DC had over 10 times the population of York at over 15,000. while york was a reason for retaliation it was mainly for the raid on port dover not because of any crippling factors but because John Campbell destroyed private property which both sides considering wrong so the British mainly wanted to destory american private property in return (maybe something like the presidents house) Effective or not it was the Capital of the Country and Burning their buildings to avenge for the Americans burning their buildings would have been a morale improvement for the brits and a morale depleter for the Americans, a thing that would forever be see as a main event in the war and basically the 19th century equivalent of 9/11 for the Americans. Some arson and looting in an unincorporated municipality in British Canada was _Nothing_ compared to the burning of major governing buildings and national symbols of a nation, it was so huge the British didn't even to kill civilians, they barely looted and they didn't destroy every special building despite having the perfect opportunity too (the only exception being captians levying protection money civilians in return for protecting buildings). Heck, it was so huge that burn marks can still be seen on the white house and capitol building, the reason the white house is called the "white house" and not the presidential house anymore is because during the rebuilding they painted it white to mask the burn marks Which is more then can be said about the Americans who virtually destroyed york and led to the evacuation/death of over half of the population despite only really needing to kick out the British and maybe take some artillery pieces as it was basically a village back then and destroying it didn't really matter. Also, unlike york it was less strategic and more "ha ha White house burning go brrrrrrr" for the British as it was in revenge and it was more of a victory party to the larger British win of the battle Bladensburg which was called "the greatest disgrace ever dealt to American arms" and despite the Americans winning york outnumbered ~3-1 the British won Bladensburg outnumbered ~5-1 In Summary while it's easy to look at the war of 1812 as a great power drawing with a country of farmers In a humiliating way and say the Americans also burnt toronto it's a lil more complicated. Keep in mind Britain was fighting Napoleon and his allies which essentially ment Britian was fighting most of Europe so the fact that they were able to claim a draw still showed power. York is only remembered because it was the predecessor of Toronto but it wasn't strategically important, the arson didn't really have a point as it was supposed to be strategic and it wanst even the main reason for the burning of Washington. Even then both reasons aren't really remembered in Canada today. Washington DC was the Capital of a nation and had a FAR larger population, the British didn't just destroy a few buildings because that was they only thing they could Do, it was because: A) it was pretty much for the Americans destroying British private property so while you could say they only destroyed a few buildings at the same time the Americans did except when Britian did it, it was _Vastly- more important B) it was so huge that they really didn't need to do anything more, the burning of the white house alone was enough to spit in America's face so why bother destroying the whole place if you have already done what you wanted (the Americans didn't ask themselves that question when committing arson and looting on some town on a lake). C)it was mainly just for retaliation for the private property destruction, the British had already won the larger battle of Bladensburg, Washington was just to pour salt into American wounds If Napoleon Never came to power, britian likely would have won the war as they wouldn't be distracted and this time France couldn't bankrupt itself again to save America, heck without Napoleon Spain would have been able to send more forces to help the British as they also fought in the war of 1812 but were busy being occupied by Napoleon so yeah without him 2 empires would have been able to fully crash down on a farmer country. TL, DR: you are sorta right but also sorta wrong (no offence)

I know right? It's like one of the few countries in history that were taken over peacefully, sorry I meant few states of America that were taken over peacefully.

I just hope Sarah fucking Palin doesn't get her hands on all the goodies.

You are living a fantasy if you think you are safe from anybody and everbody at any time, especially in this age of the rise of hypersonic weapons. You think you cant be touched because you waste money better spent on your own people, you think you are safe because you attack some desert dwellers who are armed with AK 47s.

It wouldn't be much of a watch, if strategic nukes were allowed the world would be on fire, if tactical nukes were allowed all sides would lose their navies and then start contemplating how to attack one another across oceans. If all nukes were ruled out it'd be a stalemate because half the countries have no means to cross oceans and those that do would not last long inside another country's territory as a developed nation carries about 100x as many modern jets as any aircraft carrier ever could.
Step two - survivers of the sunken aircraft carriers swim to the remnants of your fleet and go home. I think that deadly sub fleet however small, and all the fighters and missiles available would have one mission, bollocks to everything else, send all you have at once and sink those carriers. Most may fail but many would get through. You cant surround an island 22 miles off a continent without being near enough for ground based aircraft and missiles, and you think nobody else would get involved if say you destroyed the channel tunnel(another blockade problem), France owns more than half of that.
In a sense, but we conquer canada so the UK cant land troops freely. They would have to beat the US navy which is something that would take a lot of effort and was by no means garanteed

By the 1920s, tensions were rising noticeably between Great Britain and America. The British, having heard of the ambitious American naval building programme, were keen on maintaining their centuries-long naval supremacy. Despite emerging from WWI with one foot in bankruptcy, the Cabinet and Parliament were prepared to push British shipbuilding and financial reserves to new heights to match it. Even King George V gave his early support and it was even suggested that iHis Majesty use his Royal Prerogative to seize full control of the Empire's financial capacity to help pay for the new arms race.

@@RabbiHerschel you clearly know nothing of the country in which I live.
It is my pleasure to point out that white and non-white immigrants combined, only make up less than 10% of the French population, therefore less than 1 in 10 people.
For the most part, these immigrants do their jobs, feed their families, and nothing changes.
And no, religion is not a valid point because you can't legally preach religion in a public area, and there are more atheists than muslims in France, regardless.
Personally I don't know many immigrants past the third generation who stay religious be they christians or muslims, or many immigrants at all for that matter considering how low the percentage of immigration actually is.
Anyone who says immigrants are taking over the country is speaking out of their arse and simply trying to pin blame on a specific group to instill fear, which is a means of controlling a population.

@@Hannahruda The British Empire burned the White House. Canada didn't exist yet. Also, the US was a poor backwater that had only won independence less than 40 years prior. In addition, the Americans burned the city of Toronto. A couple buildings for a city isn't that great of a revenge attack. But congratulations. Despite being the strongest country on Earth, you actually had a draw with a a poor, agricultural country.
@@aryanbhuta3382 Weren't the British also busy fighting Napoleon?, also a few centuries later the us would feel like Britian in vietnam
@@guacnpp6636 That is true. A distant, poor, small country of farmers that beat the global superpower. The parallels are striking.
@@aryanbhuta3382 also, York (what would become toronto) only had under 1,500 people and while the Americans had a clear victory the town wasn't really important in military terms and they didn't cripple the provincial marines in lake ontario.
Washington DC had over 10 times the population of York at over 15,000. while york was a reason for retaliation it was mainly for the raid on port dover not because of any crippling factors but because John Campbell destroyed private property which both sides considering wrong so the British mainly wanted to destory american private property in return (maybe something like the presidents house)
Effective or not it was the Capital of the Country and Burning their buildings to avenge for the Americans burning their buildings would have been a morale improvement for the brits and a morale depleter for the Americans, a thing that would forever be see as a main event in the war and basically the 19th century equivalent of 9/11 for the Americans.
Some arson and looting in an unincorporated municipality in British Canada was _Nothing_ compared to the burning of major governing buildings and national symbols of a nation, it was so huge the British didn't even to kill civilians, they barely looted and they didn't destroy every special building despite having the perfect opportunity too (the only exception being captians levying protection money civilians in return for protecting buildings). Heck, it was so huge that burn marks can still be seen on the white house and capitol building, the reason the white house is called the "white house" and not the presidential house anymore is because during the rebuilding they painted it white to mask the burn marks
Which is more then can be said about the Americans who virtually destroyed york and led to the evacuation/death of over half of the population despite only really needing to kick out the British and maybe take some artillery pieces as it was basically a village back then and destroying it didn't really matter.
Also, unlike york it was less strategic and more "ha ha White house burning go brrrrrrr" for the British as it was in revenge and it was more of a victory party to the larger British win of the battle Bladensburg which was called "the greatest disgrace ever dealt to American arms" and despite the Americans winning york outnumbered ~3-1 the British won Bladensburg outnumbered ~5-1
In Summary while it's easy to look at the war of 1812 as a great power drawing with a country of farmers In a humiliating way and say the Americans also burnt toronto it's a lil more complicated. Keep in mind Britain was fighting Napoleon and his allies which essentially ment Britian was fighting most of Europe so the fact that they were able to claim a draw still showed power.
York is only remembered because it was the predecessor of Toronto but it wasn't strategically important, the arson didn't really have a point as it was supposed to be strategic and it wanst even the main reason for the burning of Washington. Even then both reasons aren't really remembered in Canada today.
Washington DC was the Capital of a nation and had a FAR larger population, the British didn't just destroy a few buildings because that was they only thing they could Do, it was because:
A) it was pretty much for the Americans destroying British private property so while you could say they only destroyed a few buildings at the same time the Americans did except when Britian did it, it was _Vastly- more important B) it was so huge that they really didn't need to do anything more, the burning of the white house alone was enough to spit in America's face so why bother destroying the whole place if you have already done what you wanted (the Americans didn't ask themselves that question when committing arson and looting on some town on a lake). C)it was mainly just for retaliation for the private property destruction, the British had already won the larger battle of Bladensburg, Washington was just to pour salt into American wounds
If Napoleon Never came to power, britian likely would have won the war as they wouldn't be distracted and this time France couldn't bankrupt itself again to save America, heck without Napoleon Spain would have been able to send more forces to help the British as they also fought in the war of 1812 but were busy being occupied by Napoleon so yeah without him 2 empires would have been able to fully crash down on a farmer country.

Russia, China and Best Korea would take any opportunity to jump on an anti-US band wagon.
It wouldn't be much of a watch, if strategic nukes were allowed the world would be on fire, if tactical nukes were allowed all sides would lose their navies and then start contemplating how to attack one another across oceans. If all nukes were ruled out it'd be a stalemate because half the countries have no means to cross oceans and those that do would not last long inside another country's territory as a developed nation carries about 100x as many modern jets as any aircraft carrier ever could.
Rob Fraser Yeah with nukes being in play everyone would kill eachother + fuck up the planet - We’d genuinely wipe ourselves out

modern plan:
step 1: surround Britain with the aircraft carrier fleet
there is no step 2
Step two - survivers of the sunken aircraft carriers swim to the remnants of your fleet and go home. I think that deadly sub fleet however small, and all the fighters and missiles available would have one mission, bollocks to everything else, send all you have at once and sink those carriers. Most may fail but many would get through. You cant surround an island 22 miles off a continent without being near enough for ground based aircraft and missiles, and you think nobody else would get involved if say you destroyed the channel tunnel(another blockade problem), France owns more than half of that.
