Planning for the Normandy landing took 18 months. They also needed five times as many troops to invade and dominate. With forces for both sea and air that exceed your enemy. Also, they were only 20-50 miles from their own fortress. They expected 20k casualties and were surprised at only 5k deaths.
Not to mention the insane amount of propaganda and ghost army diversions the allies executed. Check out operation mincemeat and WW2 ghost army. Incredible mental warfare that were one of the main reason the allies were successful.
True the Normandy landings weren’t as bad as they expected them to be but 5k is still a lot of dead yet when you compare Normandy too the beach landings on d-day 6th June 1944 then it was not much different in numbers lol still a fair few thousand dead
No lol. You watch too many movies. Look at bust photos and the firearms and ammo they seize. Rarely ever do they have full mags. Most have only a few mismatched pieces of ammunition.
Because the Mafia made sure that Ports through the unions were safe during WW2 and put down any attempts to infiltrated by Communist or Fascist. There is a funny scene in "The Rocketeer " Where Luciano's guys are fighting German Spies next to FBI agents. "Luciano says "I may be a Criminal but I am an American Criminal"
When mexico was offered by germany it seriously thought about joining Germany in ww2 to gain back lost land. But only decided not to because it didn't think Germany was capable of supporting it throughout a conflict. Mexico is not an ally it's just a neighbor that has no options to take land from the U.S.
Mexico also supported US with raw materials and military personnel. Mexico was going to remain neutral but Germany sunk Mexico cargo ships so they joined the allies.
If they did actually make it to our main land which I don’t think would ever happen. Then they would have to fight our military and a BUNCH of citizens that have a 2nd amendment right and will use it if forced to
Exactly. In Taiwan, the only arms the citizens have are the ones they put in the air to signal surrender. That's right, to this day its illegal for citizens to own guns.
I feel like a professional army vs militias in the states would be a lot like fighting child soldiers. Not that it would get that far. If the US military on its own cant handle it, I doubt militias would find success.
Alot of people in Militias are Ex Military, they know what the military does to thier soldiers and could care less. Look at covid shots or let's see what nuclear explosions do to troops in tests and let's not forget the shots that were forced during first gulf war.Monday night arm chair quarter back aren't you.
@@Myskatevidsyou're failing to realize that a lot of that citizen militia is full of ex military of all professions. As well civilians that practice scouting and marksmanship regularly.
Landing troops on US soil is relatively easy. Turning that into a lasting beachhead with access to any meaningful American territory is nearly impossible.
I'd argue you couldn't even do that. When I was a kid, we had tons of folks who tried to boat from Cuba and other Carribean locations. They never could get past the Coast Guard.
@@thecactusman17 That is the situation for most nations. Sure, anybody can cross a border. Getting anything done is near impossible. In the United States of America, you are likely to get shot. 1 in 5 Americans are armed. They have a secondary army of armed citizens. There are mord armed citizens there than their entire military. I am not sured I would want to cause trouble in the United States of America as a hostile invader. After the terrorist attacks they had in 2001, a lot of the citizens are itching to put a terrorist on a slab. Citizens have little effect on an air attack. But, they cluek really help repell a ground invasion. There is a joke going around though. I have heard the American government is not guarding their southern border. Only the Americans know the truth. Their government allowed a soft invasion through their South border.
@@Nikoli420 I have heard the American government wants to completely restructure itself by inviting i1legal a1iens in and allowing them to vote. It started with President B. O'bama. Then their patriotic president, President Donald J. Trump tried to stop the decay. But, a heavily altered election removed him from power and a figurehead president, President J. Biden was assigned to appear to run the nation and the southern border invasion continued again. I do know that their patriotic president did return to leadership. It is likely he will return the United States of America to a protected nation again. Many around the planet are watching, wishing that our leaders were the same as the American President about to take leadership again. Every nation needs a leader like President Donald J. Trump.
You didn't work in your climate change conspiracy or praise China for something. I'm proud of you this was an absolutely great video you deserve a like
The biggest obstacle to landing troops on American shores is simply getting them there. No country currently has enough troop carriers to put an effective number of troops on our shores. Even if they were unopposed. And the distances to the US are long enough that one would have to land enough troops to establish and maintain a beachhead for an the time it takes for the transports to go and pick up more troops and return, repeating until sufficient forces and equipment and supplies were landed for the force to proceed inland, against fierce opposition. The reality is that the chance of transports making it to shore against Naval and Air opposition is pretty much zero.
Ice always liked the way you ask people to like your videos . For a few years now your the only channel who's videos I hit like on in the first couple seconds. And I like your thumbnails because they always look interesting but they never really give away the topic of the video. Thxs for all the awesome knowledge you've gave
They could, but it would be pointless. Between police forces and any place anyone could deploy personnel, would have difficulty establishing a base. Plus the U.S. can deploy military forces fairly quickly on any shore.
Attacking the mainland US would be like shooting a block of jello. Every community in the US has either a military base or Nat Guard base and usually both. Manifest Destiny was executed as stupidly as possible, but now we're here, our year-round coast-to-coast control of a whole continent is an insane home court advantage.
With how many gun owners there are good luck getting past the beach in the gulf or east coast. The west coast would be our worry area , Cali would let them in and give sanctuary but Oregon would help by handing out needles and herion
Sure Alaska could be attacked, low population and all. Could you get anywhere before winter sets in? Russia has a reminder for people about harsh winters and military actions.
1 in 5 citizens is armed. There is a domestic armed force that nobody speaks about in the United States of America. The Citizen's armed force is bafflingly enormous. Invaders have little chance with a ground attack in the United States of America. This is why Americans keep it legal to own firearms, make them easy to afford, and even have training areas for the citizens to learn how to shoot and maintain their firearms.
@@johnroberts9922 You overestimate the average military grunt. They're on average about even. What makes a military powerful is the logistics, organization and intel. I think the past few years have showed the difference when ppl just assume a military is better just because of prestige.
@@johnroberts9922 They have an armed population. It will matter if a military force enters as compared to most other nations that have completely unarmed citizens. They are completely helpless. A bullet may still find its way from a high rise building from the gun of a citizen to the head of an enemy solder, occasionally. But, most other nations, that can not happen. Trudeau just took a lot of our guns. He wants us helpless, like most other nations.
Japan did land troops on the Aleutian Islands in WW2 but that was only a diversion for Midway. Once Midway failed, Japan left them there completely unprepared for an Alaskan winter and then the Eskimo Scouts harassed them non stop.
But here's the thing, any tactician worth his salt know it's more than a little fool hardy to try a full scale amphibious landing on either U.S. coast. But if you were someone with some foresight you'd recognize that if you took the Panama canal, a relatively simple thing to do, you'd not only have a clear and poorly defended path to the southern U.S. border, but you'd also control the most important shipping lane in the western hemisphere. So theres that. Just sayin.
The cost of taking a coast or even a part of it is massive. Even if it was achievable, the logistics required is greatly jeopardized to support the offensive invading forces.
Fun Fact: There are 3X more Guns in America than People. Even if some country did land troops, they wouldn't last. If Ukraine had the same X more Guns than people, Russia would have never invaded.
This has been an ongoing consideration there are full blown plans and programs dedicated for all contingencies, it doesn’t matter if you can land on our shore as you are not going to keep anything for more than a few seconds.
Good morning, Steve! Happy New Year! I hope the new year is better than the last for you! Keep up the good work and tell everyone involved thank you for their hard work!
@@shanechambers1146 That is an ongoing international joke about the American government. I hear it here, in Canada, all the time. The rumor says American government wants to destroy itself by getting i1legal a1iens to come in and vote. This is to restructure the government to keep the poor as poor as possible and cater to the wealthy-elite, completely removing the working class. Thus will make all the poor fully dependent on government and allow the wealthy to reign unhindered. This is the rumor anyway.
Hint: It really helps to have only 2 larger countries as neighbors in the north and the south with decent releationships. And not even together they would impose a a great threat to the territory of the US. In this case the US just plays on easy mode.
We do, it's called ballistic missiles, usually of the nuclear variety. We keep them just in case aliens suddenly decide to try and invade Boston or some crap.... We also have plasma railguns that hit at 4% the speed of light, it sounds like I'm joking but no I'm being very serious we had those things since like the early 90's, it's the reason why even though the US Navy standard class railgun Hit with similar force to a main battery Canon from the Yamato it was still cancelled for being unacceptably underpowered. Seriously Google project Marauder, for some reason people keep forgetting the us is usually working on military tech that is 60 or more years more advanced than anyone else.
This video reminded me of the Naval battery that Ian at Forgotten Weapons did a video on a while back, I thought it would be cool to visit one of these sites.
Even the US Military is not equipped to invade the US. Amphibious invasion of a "peer" military is nearly impossible because you cannot assemble and move that many ships, unnoticed and even having enough transport ships to establish a meaningful beakhead is a challenge since you would need something on the scale of overlord just to get a toehold to capture some ports and airfields. Any Navy assemblage that large would be seen and destroyed before they could ever get in range to do anything other than some very long range missile bombardment.
@@majormattmason8408 Yep in a similar assessment of Operation Sealion (German invasion of Britain). In retrospect it's safe to say that even if Germany controlled the air and sea of the English Channel (which they did not) they lacked the transport and logistics to ever pull it off and invading 1940's England would be a cakewalk compared to invading 2025 USA.
If it's tough to land on our shores, just use a flanking maneuver. Land on Mexico or Canada. Organize there. Build up supplies. Use the interstate system and rails to move everything into the U.S.
You never mentioned natural obstacles to creating a beach head and move inland over 50 miles. Also SOSA nets on both coastal areas with Air National Guard regularly patrol coastal areas.
Forget US even Taiwan is not possible. Why do you think China shouts a lot but never does anything about it? US is huge and armed to the teeth. The question is stupid yet US spends trillions on this idea. Go figure 😂😂😂
@majormattmason8408 I speak from purely hypothetical perspective. Islands are hard to attack. The main point being that it's next to impossible to attack US and win yet US spends trillions on wars across the globe in the name of 'defending' USA.
@@ssa6227 I agree completely. I have a different post saying a foreign power could likely land troops on US soil but they'd never be able to supply them so the invasion would fail. My statement about China is really about a related but sperate issue. I question whether or not China would attack Taiwan which would cause immense damage to an infrastructure thay want intact? They won't attack Taiwan if they believe they will achieve their objectives without a fight even if it takes 100 years. Different culture completely than that of the Western nation.
No ships needed. Just send the troops to the border dressed as migrants and they’ll be escorted to their new houses and given food :) Why waste energy knocking down the gates when the US Department Of Homeland Security is begging you to make yourself right at home.

@irenafarm When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the American Flag, and carrying a cross. Sinclair Lewis It's only a matter of time till Trump's face is on that flag, or whatever flag the guy he sells the Post Office to wants.
The american missile defense have one flaw, and that is the cost. If enemys fill the sky with cheap drones a few days in a row the cost would be astronomical to defend it all. Needs some cheap stuff to not get overmanned by numbers
You'd need millions of drones to claim even a few miles of US coastline (except up where the US and Russia are separated by only a few miles but that would be almost a useless conquest).
Lol yeah no. If that many drones are made, they won't have the necessary firepower or energy lol you can't just spawn millions of lethal drones capable of any real threat
Where are you going to launch these drones? No significant fleet could assemble off shore, much less launch a bunch of drones. As Lincoln said, America won’t be attacked from the outside. If we fall it will be from rot on the inside.
warships do not need to land soldiers on US shores, because our borders have been open, and the soldiers have been coming across in ones and twos for at least 4 years, and the potential enemies have built strongholds and staging areas throughout the nation.
For how long tho? Seems one side will stop at nothing to take away that force.. Eventually the stars will line up and they’ll kill the second.. They’ll find a way, even if it takes a few lifetimes.
Until they started infiltrating across the southern border. Not a military force but a lot of cartels are establishing areas of operation with armed guard forces.
EMPs aren't magical. You need a BUNCH to cover the entire continent. And our core defense systems are well shielded. Coms would be weird for a while but the military is well able to construct temporary coms within hours. They did it up here in Western NC when the internet went down.
I don't know if I should laugh.. or cry at the assertion the USA cannot be invaded.. First off I am former active duty US Navy. Medically Retired 2014 due to 5 major service connected disabling injuries. Part of my career involved battle planning and management. I don't know who the "experts" are that were used for this video, but if they were actually real "experts", they would have mentioned the most likely way we will be attacked and potentially invaded in the future... which would leave us open to invasion if successful. How you ask? Well, I won't give away everything due to I am still bound by my oath of service but I can tell you the basics (and everything I state CAN be looked up in public sources to verify what I write about) and my bet is a few lightbulbs turn on when I do. PART #1 A kinetic and landing invasion attack is not going to happen on its own. Wars today are NOT done using WWII tactics and means. Even the US Marines and their tactics have changed when it comes to beach infiltration situations. So how would an enemy do it? I am going to use a conflict between china and the USA as my 'example'. And here is the first BIG mistake so many "experts" make when it comes to china. People claim china has a small fleet of obsolete ships. Well, all you "experts" are so wrong it is not even close to reality. A whole lot of "experts" need to go back and do some major research. china has over 400 combat warships, ALL modernized. They are right now CONTINUING to build up their forces at paces not seen since hitler and nazi germany in the 1930's. More so, the chinese have clearly either stolen or been given the plans to most of our top end tech like the AEGIS battle management system our navy uses, like submarine tech that has moved them from 20 years behind us to nearly on par in submarine tech, to both the F-22 and F-35 stealth fighters and so so much more. china no longer needs the USA in reality. They have formed BRICS with over 160 OTHER nations. china no longer holds US debt anywhere near what they held even 10 years ago either, something a lot of people are completely clueless about. They USA has around 175,000 active duty US Marines. Those are NOT all COMBAT oriented but total. Perhaps 1/2 are combat oriented. The rest are support or other positions. (this is true for the rest of what I write about). The US Army has about 470,000 Active Duty troops, again the same thing about support vs combat oriented applies. US Air Force ~325,000. The US Space Force ~15,000 and the US Navy ~1.5 million members. Basically we have about a total of 2.7 MILLION Active Duty US Military, support oriented and combat oriented combined. We have ~1.29 million reserves and about ~450,000 National Guard that can be federalized in time of war. Now let's talk china... Active duty, they have ~2.1 million combat troops and another ~1.2 million support military so a total of ~ 3.5 million or more. And because china has mandatory service, including mandatory reactivation in times of war, they have ready reserves estimated to be between 14 million and 25 million members. In essence for combat related troops, they have twice as many as the USA does and for reserves, well we have but a spit in the bucket to their number. So with some of that out of the way, let's get to the actual meat of the issue... if china intended to attack, the country would first build up a massive 400 or more naval combat force of warships (which china has already done and is still adding to as I write this. Everything from FFG's to CG's and on to the big boys, assault carriers and Ford sized Aircraft Carriers of which only two countries in the world have built and have on active duty right now.. the USA.. and china. china has 3 ski jump carriers active duty right now. They have already floated 3 of their new full on aircraft carriers, nearly the same size of the newest USA carrier, the USS Ford. AND theirs also has EMALS installed. As of this writing, 1 is in full service, the 2nd is near ready and the 3rd is afloat and being fitted out with 4, 5 and 6 under fast construction. Current data has 6 of this class under current build out plans for their Navy but that is best estimate by REAL experts. And while it takes the USA between 8-12 years to build ONE carrier, china is building them out in 2-3 years max. So they have built their main battle force of ships. What's next? Now, they build their amphibious fleet. That will include ships like the assault carriers that can carry entire battalions of Marines (We USA have 11 of these in service) of the type china has been build for the last 3-4 years and plans on a couple dozen when finished. The invading country ALSO would build ROLO and RORO ships by the dozens. Basically standard merchant and container carrying ships specifically build to support military operations.. i.e. not just troops but trucks, armor, ammo and much more. So we have covered the actual naval invasion fleet basic makeup you would need to invade the USA. And let's figure china would create 3 distinct combat action groups around each of their new aircraft carriers. AND they create 3 full action combat groups around TWO carriers per fleet, combined with a say 4 Assault carriers and 20 RORO/ROLO ships packed with even more equipment, armor and troops. Additionally each of the main fleets would also have upward of say 100 of those merchant class containers ships that china has now built a couple thousand of for real.
Part #2 So, how do they actually proceed with all that ready to go? They take 3 of those dual CV task forces, have them escorted by one of the combat action task forces headed by their main carriers and you send them to see and let them get "lost". And yes, it is very much possible for even the USA to lose tracking on ships and fleets. Make NO mistake on that. After those fleets put see and get lost on the planet somewhere, you sent 100 of those merchant container ships to EACH COAST of the USA. 100 on the east coast, 100 in the Gulf and 100 on the west coast. You have them straggle in over a couple weeks, likely even keeping them outside the 12 mile limit which is international waters. Any given day, we have 150 to 350 of merchant ships of various types off EACH of our 3 blue water coasts. So unless they were in formation as one fleet sitting off our coast, no one is going to worry about or question incoming merchant ships as they come in closer to the USA coasts. In fact if they really wanted to, they could remain a couple hundreds miles off our coast and likely 98% of them would never even be detected. Now why would they do this? Well, because just like the USA, countries like china also have what we call 4 pack containers. i.e. cruise missile launchers on launchers that hold 4 missiles each.. and note they can be reloaded rather quickly even. A container opens, the launcher elevates, fires the 4 missiles, closed back up and once again looks like a normal shipping container and also possibly reloaded quickly for another round. (Note also these containers can also be internally fitting out for Anti Air defense, for housing troops for the journey, for supplies for combat etc etc etc.) Now let's just use the west coast for this next part. You have 100 ships scattered in no apparent pattern all up and down the west coast out at sea anywhere from 12 miles to 200 or more miles. All innocent looking container ships, which as I said, we have hundreds of them every single day off the coast already. At the same time those naval task forces I was talking about have now slowly moved into specific locations, with a good chance of still not having been detected. (the oceans are MASSIVE and unless you have served in the Navy as I have, you cannot really understand just how small a ship is in the middle of the ocean - think grain of sand you would have to find.. one specific grain, along the entire west coast for example. So, all these ships are now in position. How do they invade? Well first, those 100 container ships open up the top layers of those containers (the average ship will have 200 to 300 for each layer but we only need the top layer for the moment) and EACH ship fires lets say 100 containers. That 400 cruise missiles for each ship. 400 x 100 = 40,000 cruise missiles. just from the 100 west coast container ships. Now add those also fired from the gulf coast and the east coast and you get upward of 120,000 cruise missies. Mark my words I AM being conservative also. Those cruise missiles are going to be a mix of HE (high explosive), AP or Bunker (armor piercing bunker buster) or EMP (electromagnetic pulse). And those 120,000 cruise missiles will be targeting our infrastructure like telecommunications, fuel, transport (bridges, cargo centers etc), military bases of course, communication HUBS, and worse they will hit every power plant and substation we have in the USA. There are an estimated ~12,500 power plants in the USA, and maybe double that for major hub substations. Each of these targets is hit with 10-20 cruise missiles and the EMP's most likely being added in to those striking telecom, radio, TV and of course electrical substations and power plants. That means instantly loss of ALL grid power in the USA. Loss of all communications of any kind in the USA. Bridges out, transportation of all kinds out and so forth.. which means no more food, clean water, MEDICINE, medical care. Which also means no way to get fire trucks, police, ambulances where needed even. And before someone thinks we could maybe shoot a lot of those cruise missiles down.. not a snowballs chance would be be able to do that. Why? Because we literally have NO, NONE, NADDA, ZILCH, defenses at all on our borders that could automatically engage Nap of the Earth terrain following cruise missiles. But worse, by the time we even realize there are incoming cruise missiles, it would be too late because they would already be striking the aforementioned communications etc needed to alert the military. How do you call military to duty when there are no cell phones or landlines that work? No bridges so they can drive to the bases? and so on?
Part #3 And this is NOT the worst part. In fact the scenario I just painted is BEST case scenario.. for US. Take those 100 containers ships off each coast. What if in fact those 'containers' are NOT containers at all but fake? Why are they fake? Because the ships themselves have full VLS launch packs. We are talking upward of 500 or more VLS cells PER ship. Those fake containers open up and the VLS system launches all the cells in minutes before we even know an attack has started. But we are here to talk about the invasion part ... So how do they now invade? Well, they just knocked down to our knees. Infrastructure is toast. Communications is toast. Most military will attempt to reach their bases. But that is going to take TIME. Organization will be non existent for at least a day or more as bases finally start bringing combat systems online. (note also there won't be SATS anymore - did you forget about all those task forces fill with combat ships? The SATS will be shot down at the same time the cruise missile strikes take place) So those task forces. One will likely put anywhere from 200,000 to 500,000 troops and armor into Alaska to take the oil fields.. and we won't be able to use direct attack right away for fear of igniting those oil fields. Another task force will likely go into Mexico in the gulf AND on the pacific side to surge up into the US center to split the country. Finally, the remaining task forces will put troops in on the east and west coasts enmasse. They will move to take airfields for the following movement of the other 2 million ACTIVE duty chinese army troops being flown in or shipped on on a couple thousand merchant class warships. NOTE this is not happening days after the cruise missile strikes, it is happening within HOURS of it happening. Now remember I also said there would be a bunch of these ships assigned to each taskforce? Why? Because they will be used for follow on attacks against US Military units that start to move and/or deploy, including airbases not hit or where protected aircraft were based. china would concentrate on first taking control of major seaports and airports and the moment they have those RORO and ROLO ships waiting at sea would come in and unload tanks, armor and troops. Follow on containers ships would arrive with containers full of additional supplies. But what about the US Navy? Well, china now has 4x the number of active combat ships of the US Navy.. and this current regime we have is STILL MOTHBALLING Naval ships. Not to mention, this regime already removed ALL TANKS from the entire US Marine corp and has done a whole lot more damage through out our military forces. (look it up, this is not a joke) The US Navy would have no choice but to attempt to break through the enemy naval taskgroups to stop additional attacks.. and even if the US Navy somehow was able to get back to all three coasts, THAT is where they would have to remain to insure no more supplies or troops than what are already landed, could come in by sea. However again, we no longer have the naval forces to do this anymore. In fact some of you may have noted I did not even mention chinas brand new modern attack submarine fleet.. Well, mark my words they won't be doing nothing. While those task forces are moving around the globe hiding at sea, those subs will be stationing themselves in locations to interdict US ships once the go code is given. They will prioritize carriers (CVN and LHA) and any other combat surface vessels they can take out on a first strike. Sadly some have been trying to warn the people of this potential situation. china is well into its 100 year plan and if you have studied chinese history and warfare, you know exactly what that means. We are right now in that bullseye. If what I wrote scares you, it should. it terrifies me and I have worn the uniform honorably for the US Navy... and should the worst come to pass and I am needed again, I will do so again.. even as a medically retired disabled Veteran. BTW, don't just take my word for what I wrote. Everything can be checked and verified. And while most numbers are estimates based on public information, that is not the point of this discussion. The point is china now massively outweighs the USA militarily in size across the board. And while some will argue that our "technology" will win the day, many of us in the know and trained in this stuff, know better. Technology will help, have no doubt on that. But there is an old saying that you should consider. I don't remember who made this quote but here it is, "In battle Quantity has a Quality all of its own..."

Only the Americans know the truth. Their government allowed a soft invasion through their South border.
@@Nikoli420 I have heard the American government wants to completely restructure itself by inviting i1legal a1iens in and allowing them to vote. It started with President B. O'bama. Then their patriotic president, President Donald J. Trump tried to stop the decay. But, a heavily altered election removed him from power and a figurehead president, President J. Biden was assigned to appear to run the nation and the southern border invasion continued again. I do know that their patriotic president did return to leadership. It is likely he will return the United States of America to a protected nation again. Many around the planet are watching, wishing that our leaders were the same as the American President about to take leadership again. Every nation needs a leader like President Donald J. Trump.

The biggest obstacle to landing troops on American shores is simply getting them there.
No country currently has enough troop carriers to put an effective number of troops on our shores.
Even if they were unopposed.
And the distances to the US are long enough that one would have to land enough troops to establish and maintain a beachhead for an the time it takes for the transports to go and pick up more troops and return, repeating until sufficient forces and equipment and supplies were landed for the force to proceed inland, against fierce opposition.
The reality is that the chance of transports making it to shore against Naval and Air opposition is pretty much zero.
Taking land would be relatively easy, keeping it is going to be radically harder. Ref: Floridaman.

HAFA ADAI!! You don't hear much of my home island. Yiihaw!! 😅 keep up the awesome content watop!!
Why are you hiding? We got your back.
They could, but it would be pointless. Between police forces and any place anyone could deploy personnel, would have difficulty establishing a base. Plus the U.S. can deploy military forces fairly quickly on any shore.
Attacking the mainland US would be like shooting a block of jello. Every community in the US has either a military base or Nat Guard base and usually both.
Manifest Destiny was executed as stupidly as possible, but now we're here, our year-round coast-to-coast control of a whole continent is an insane home court advantage.
With how many gun owners there are good luck getting past the beach in the gulf or east coast. The west coast would be our worry area , Cali would let them in and give sanctuary but Oregon would help by handing out needles and herion
No mention of Alaska?
Yeah were all armed, but jeez.
Sure Alaska could be attacked, low population and all. Could you get anywhere before winter sets in? Russia has a reminder for people about harsh winters and military actions.
1 in 5 citizens is armed. There is a domestic armed force that nobody speaks about in the United States of America. The Citizen's armed force is bafflingly enormous. Invaders have little chance with a ground attack in the United States of America. This is why Americans keep it legal to own firearms, make them easy to afford, and even have training areas for the citizens to learn how to shoot and maintain their firearms.
They do not matter in the slightest. Once a year practice at the firing range versus military troops every day practice in the arts of warfare.
@@johnroberts9922 except its not once a year training at the firing range for many...more like weekly..
@@johnroberts9922just because you don't, doesn't mean there isn't hundreds of thousands of people that do.
@@johnroberts9922 You overestimate the average military grunt. They're on average about even. What makes a military powerful is the logistics, organization and intel. I think the past few years have showed the difference when ppl just assume a military is better just because of prestige.
@@johnroberts9922 They have an armed population. It will matter if a military force enters as compared to most other nations that have completely unarmed citizens. They are completely helpless. A bullet may still find its way from a high rise building from the gun of a citizen to the head of an enemy solder, occasionally. But, most other nations, that can not happen. Trudeau just took a lot of our guns. He wants us helpless, like most other nations.
Japan did land troops on the Aleutian Islands in WW2 but that was only a diversion for Midway. Once Midway failed, Japan left them there completely unprepared for an Alaskan winter and then the Eskimo Scouts harassed them non stop.
Attempts should be made in the gulf. With camera crews on hand.
You forgot tactical nukes for coastal protection. If the motherland is in danger, she's packing a piece in her purse.
But here's the thing, any tactician worth his salt know it's more than a little fool hardy to try a full scale amphibious landing on either U.S. coast. But if you were someone with some foresight you'd recognize that if you took the Panama canal, a relatively simple thing to do, you'd not only have a clear and poorly defended path to the southern U.S. border, but you'd also control the most important shipping lane in the western hemisphere. So theres that. Just sayin.
I like the way you think. Still be damn near impossible to hold the canal but it's certainly an idea.
The cost of taking a coast or even a part of it is massive. Even if it was achievable, the logistics required is greatly jeopardized to support the offensive invading forces.
Fun Fact: There are 3X more Guns in America than People. Even if some country did land troops, they wouldn't last. If Ukraine had the same X more Guns than people, Russia would have never invaded.
How many millions walk through,swim up,,ect. Wouldn't a behind the lines diversion be the norm as combined invasion?
Good stuff! Hooya go Navy. keep it coming bro!
your thumbnail is laughably bad
This has been an ongoing consideration there are full blown plans and programs dedicated for all contingencies, it doesn’t matter if you can land on our shore as you are not going to keep anything for more than a few seconds.
Once they get lasers working long distance & fulltime,then missiles & drones will be worthless.
I feel like you owe me a cup of coffee in 2025, lol.
Wow ! From drones, missiles, mortars, air & sea defense, etc, ! The USA is well protected ! Thx God I'm an American boy !! 💟🙏
Good morning, Steve! Happy New Year! I hope the new year is better than the last for you! Keep up the good work and tell everyone involved thank you for their hard work!
If we didn't know they were coming, they could land. But they could never be supplied and would lose by attrition.
They just walk across the border now
I’m going to take a leap here and assume you have never actually crossed an international border. *eyeroll*
its funny because its true. lol
@@shanechambers1146 That is an ongoing international joke about the American government. I hear it here, in Canada, all the time. The rumor says American government wants to destroy itself by getting i1legal a1iens to come in and vote. This is to restructure the government to keep the poor as poor as possible and cater to the wealthy-elite, completely removing the working class. Thus will make all the poor fully dependent on government and allow the wealthy to reign unhindered. This is the rumor anyway.
US of A, news stations show people jumping the border daily... looks easy to none fat people.
Damn Canadians 😂😂
Hint: It really helps to have only 2 larger countries as neighbors in the north and the south with decent releationships.
And not even together they would impose a a great threat to the territory of the US.
In this case the US just plays on easy mode.
Minefields seem pointless in the face of automated sea drones
Invading armies must worry about rifles behind every blade of grass, except in New Jersey and California.
I think Washington state and Oregon belong on the list. Massachusetts as well. Illinois if Canada gets frisky.
Content like this is great! keep it going sir!
I kinda wish we had coastal defense batteries like those on Fiji Island even if they are obsolete, they are still intimidating.
We do, it's called ballistic missiles, usually of the nuclear variety.
We keep them just in case aliens suddenly decide to try and invade Boston or some crap.... We also have plasma railguns that hit at 4% the speed of light, it sounds like I'm joking but no I'm being very serious we had those things since like the early 90's, it's the reason why even though the US Navy standard class railgun Hit with similar force to a main battery Canon from the Yamato it was still cancelled for being unacceptably underpowered.
Seriously Google project Marauder, for some reason people keep forgetting the us is usually working on military tech that is 60 or more years more advanced than anyone else.
There are some great forts that are a lot of fun to explore.
This video reminded me of the Naval battery that Ian at Forgotten Weapons did a video on a while back, I thought it would be cool to visit one of these sites.
Even the US Military is not equipped to invade the US. Amphibious invasion of a "peer" military is nearly impossible because you cannot assemble and move that many ships, unnoticed and even having enough transport ships to establish a meaningful beakhead is a challenge since you would need something on the scale of overlord just to get a toehold to capture some ports and airfields. Any Navy assemblage that large would be seen and destroyed before they could ever get in range to do anything other than some very long range missile bombardment.
Agree. Add to your statement that a landing--if sccessful--would be impossible to supply. Logistics would decide the out-come.
@@majormattmason8408 Yep in a similar assessment of Operation Sealion (German invasion of Britain). In retrospect it's safe to say that even if Germany controlled the air and sea of the English Channel (which they did not) they lacked the transport and logistics to ever pull it off and invading 1940's England would be a cakewalk compared to invading 2025 USA.
If it's tough to land on our shores, just use a flanking maneuver. Land on Mexico or Canada. Organize there. Build up supplies. Use the interstate system and rails to move everything into the U.S.
Canada is part of NATO and any attack there will bring the U.S. in to assist Canada
Good luck with that

China is patient. If they wait long enough Taiwan will reintegrate with China on their own. Follow the money and manufacturing.
@majormattmason8408 I speak from purely hypothetical perspective.

@@ssa6227 I agree completely. I have a different post saying a foreign power could likely land troops on US soil but they'd never be able to supply them so the invasion would fail.

They won't attack Taiwan if they believe they will achieve their objectives without a fight even if it takes 100 years. Different culture completely than that of the Western nation.

No ships needed. Just send the troops to the border dressed as migrants and they’ll be escorted to their new houses and given food :)

Aren't immigrants just landing boats and running into cities? Most of our coast has gun control.
No they’re not.
The american missile defense have one flaw, and that is the cost. If enemys fill the sky with cheap drones a few days in a row the cost would be astronomical to defend it all. Needs some cheap stuff to not get overmanned by numbers
That's what's generally known as (relatively) small-calibre weaponry
You'd need millions of drones to claim even a few miles of US coastline (except up where the US and Russia are separated by only a few miles but that would be almost a useless conquest).
Lol yeah no. If that many drones are made, they won't have the necessary firepower or energy lol you can't just spawn millions of lethal drones capable of any real threat
Where are you going to launch these drones? No significant fleet could assemble off shore, much less launch a bunch of drones. As Lincoln said, America won’t be attacked from the outside. If we fall it will be from rot on the inside.
I’m not American but maybe things like this shouldn’t be discussed open Public
warships do not need to land soldiers on US shores, because our borders have been open, and the soldiers have been coming across in ones and twos for at least 4 years, and the potential enemies have built strongholds and staging areas throughout the nation.
Satellites can also monitor the shores and oceans.

Until they started infiltrating across the southern border. Not a military force but a lot of cartels are establishing areas of operation with armed guard forces.
An EMP fired over this country negates all of these defenses. …😢 sadly
EMPs aren't magical. You need a BUNCH to cover the entire continent. And our core defense systems are well shielded. Coms would be weird for a while but the military is well able to construct temporary coms within hours. They did it up here in Western NC when the internet went down.
@@irenafarm thank you lol
I don't know if I should laugh.. or cry at the assertion the USA cannot be invaded.. First off I am former active duty US Navy. Medically Retired 2014 due to 5 major service connected disabling injuries. Part of my career involved battle planning and management. I don't know who the "experts" are that were used for this video, but if they were actually real "experts", they would have mentioned the most likely way we will be attacked and potentially invaded in the future... which would leave us open to invasion if successful. How you ask? Well, I won't give away everything due to I am still bound by my oath of service but I can tell you the basics (and everything I state CAN be looked up in public sources to verify what I write about) and my bet is a few lightbulbs turn on when I do.
PART #1
A kinetic and landing invasion attack is not going to happen on its own. Wars today are NOT done using WWII tactics and means. Even the US Marines and their tactics have changed when it comes to beach infiltration situations. So how would an enemy do it? I am going to use a conflict between china and the USA as my 'example'. And here is the first BIG mistake so many "experts" make when it comes to china. People claim china has a small fleet of obsolete ships. Well, all you "experts" are so wrong it is not even close to reality. A whole lot of "experts" need to go back and do some major research. china has over 400 combat warships, ALL modernized. They are right now CONTINUING to build up their forces at paces not seen since hitler and nazi germany in the 1930's. More so, the chinese have clearly either stolen or been given the plans to most of our top end tech like the AEGIS battle management system our navy uses, like submarine tech that has moved them from 20 years behind us to nearly on par in submarine tech, to both the F-22 and F-35 stealth fighters and so so much more.
china no longer needs the USA in reality. They have formed BRICS with over 160 OTHER nations. china no longer holds US debt anywhere near what they held even 10 years ago either, something a lot of people are completely clueless about.
They USA has around 175,000 active duty US Marines. Those are NOT all COMBAT oriented but total. Perhaps 1/2 are combat oriented. The rest are support or other positions. (this is true for the rest of what I write about). The US Army has about 470,000 Active Duty troops, again the same thing about support vs combat oriented applies. US Air Force ~325,000. The US Space Force ~15,000 and the US Navy ~1.5 million members. Basically we have about a total of 2.7 MILLION Active Duty US Military, support oriented and combat oriented combined. We have ~1.29 million reserves and about ~450,000 National Guard that can be federalized in time of war.
Now let's talk china... Active duty, they have ~2.1 million combat troops and another ~1.2 million support military so a total of ~ 3.5 million or more. And because china has mandatory service, including mandatory reactivation in times of war, they have ready reserves estimated to be between 14 million and 25 million members. In essence for combat related troops, they have twice as many as the USA does and for reserves, well we have but a spit in the bucket to their number.
So with some of that out of the way, let's get to the actual meat of the issue...
if china intended to attack, the country would first build up a massive 400 or more naval combat force of warships (which china has already done and is still adding to as I write this. Everything from FFG's to CG's and on to the big boys, assault carriers and Ford sized Aircraft Carriers of which only two countries in the world have built and have on active duty right now.. the USA.. and china. china has 3 ski jump carriers active duty right now. They have already floated 3 of their new full on aircraft carriers, nearly the same size of the newest USA carrier, the USS Ford. AND theirs also has EMALS installed. As of this writing, 1 is in full service, the 2nd is near ready and the 3rd is afloat and being fitted out with 4, 5 and 6 under fast construction. Current data has 6 of this class under current build out plans for their Navy but that is best estimate by REAL experts. And while it takes the USA between 8-12 years to build ONE carrier, china is building them out in 2-3 years max. So they have built their main battle force of ships. What's next?
Now, they build their amphibious fleet. That will include ships like the assault carriers that can carry entire battalions of Marines (We USA have 11 of these in service) of the type china has been build for the last 3-4 years and plans on a couple dozen when finished. The invading country ALSO would build ROLO and RORO ships by the dozens. Basically standard merchant and container carrying ships specifically build to support military operations.. i.e. not just troops but trucks, armor, ammo and much more.
So we have covered the actual naval invasion fleet basic makeup you would need to invade the USA. And let's figure china would create 3 distinct combat action groups around each of their new aircraft carriers. AND they create 3 full action combat groups around TWO carriers per fleet, combined with a say 4 Assault carriers and 20 RORO/ROLO ships packed with even more equipment, armor and troops. Additionally each of the main fleets would also have upward of say 100 of those merchant class containers ships that china has now built a couple thousand of for real.
Part #2
So, how do they actually proceed with all that ready to go?
They take 3 of those dual CV task forces, have them escorted by one of the combat action task forces headed by their main carriers and you send them to see and let them get "lost". And yes, it is very much possible for even the USA to lose tracking on ships and fleets. Make NO mistake on that. After those fleets put see and get lost on the planet somewhere, you sent 100 of those merchant container ships to EACH COAST of the USA. 100 on the east coast, 100 in the Gulf and 100 on the west coast. You have them straggle in over a couple weeks, likely even keeping them outside the 12 mile limit which is international waters. Any given day, we have 150 to 350 of merchant ships of various types off EACH of our 3 blue water coasts. So unless they were in formation as one fleet sitting off our coast, no one is going to worry about or question incoming merchant ships as they come in closer to the USA coasts. In fact if they really wanted to, they could remain a couple hundreds miles off our coast and likely 98% of them would never even be detected.
Now why would they do this?
Well, because just like the USA, countries like china also have what we call 4 pack containers. i.e. cruise missile launchers on launchers that hold 4 missiles each.. and note they can be reloaded rather quickly even. A container opens, the launcher elevates, fires the 4 missiles, closed back up and once again looks like a normal shipping container and also possibly reloaded quickly for another round. (Note also these containers can also be internally fitting out for Anti Air defense, for housing troops for the journey, for supplies for combat etc etc etc.)
Now let's just use the west coast for this next part. You have 100 ships scattered in no apparent pattern all up and down the west coast out at sea anywhere from 12 miles to 200 or more miles. All innocent looking container ships, which as I said, we have hundreds of them every single day off the coast already. At the same time those naval task forces I was talking about have now slowly moved into specific locations, with a good chance of still not having been detected. (the oceans are MASSIVE and unless you have served in the Navy as I have, you cannot really understand just how small a ship is in the middle of the ocean - think grain of sand you would have to find.. one specific grain, along the entire west coast for example.
So, all these ships are now in position. How do they invade? Well first, those 100 container ships open up the top layers of those containers (the average ship will have 200 to 300 for each layer but we only need the top layer for the moment) and EACH ship fires lets say 100 containers. That 400 cruise missiles for each ship. 400 x 100 = 40,000 cruise missiles. just from the 100 west coast container ships. Now add those also fired from the gulf coast and the east coast and you get upward of 120,000 cruise missies. Mark my words I AM being conservative also.
Those cruise missiles are going to be a mix of HE (high explosive), AP or Bunker (armor piercing bunker buster) or EMP (electromagnetic pulse). And those 120,000 cruise missiles will be targeting our infrastructure like telecommunications, fuel, transport (bridges, cargo centers etc), military bases of course, communication HUBS, and worse they will hit every power plant and substation we have in the USA. There are an estimated ~12,500 power plants in the USA, and maybe double that for major hub substations. Each of these targets is hit with 10-20 cruise missiles and the EMP's most likely being added in to those striking telecom, radio, TV and of course electrical substations and power plants.
That means instantly loss of ALL grid power in the USA. Loss of all communications of any kind in the USA. Bridges out, transportation of all kinds out and so forth.. which means no more food, clean water, MEDICINE, medical care. Which also means no way to get fire trucks, police, ambulances where needed even.
And before someone thinks we could maybe shoot a lot of those cruise missiles down.. not a snowballs chance would be be able to do that. Why? Because we literally have NO, NONE, NADDA, ZILCH, defenses at all on our borders that could automatically engage Nap of the Earth terrain following cruise missiles. But worse, by the time we even realize there are incoming cruise missiles, it would be too late because they would already be striking the aforementioned communications etc needed to alert the military. How do you call military to duty when there are no cell phones or landlines that work? No bridges so they can drive to the bases? and so on?
Part #3
And this is NOT the worst part. In fact the scenario I just painted is BEST case scenario.. for US. Take those 100 containers ships off each coast. What if in fact those 'containers' are NOT containers at all but fake? Why are they fake? Because the ships themselves have full VLS launch packs. We are talking upward of 500 or more VLS cells PER ship. Those fake containers open up and the VLS system launches all the cells in minutes before we even know an attack has started. But we are here to talk about the invasion part ...
So how do they now invade? Well, they just knocked down to our knees. Infrastructure is toast. Communications is toast. Most military will attempt to reach their bases. But that is going to take TIME. Organization will be non existent for at least a day or more as bases finally start bringing combat systems online. (note also there won't be SATS anymore - did you forget about all those task forces fill with combat ships? The SATS will be shot down at the same time the cruise missile strikes take place)
So those task forces. One will likely put anywhere from 200,000 to 500,000 troops and armor into Alaska to take the oil fields.. and we won't be able to use direct attack right away for fear of igniting those oil fields. Another task force will likely go into Mexico in the gulf AND on the pacific side to surge up into the US center to split the country. Finally, the remaining task forces will put troops in on the east and west coasts enmasse. They will move to take airfields for the following movement of the other 2 million ACTIVE duty chinese army troops being flown in or shipped on on a couple thousand merchant class warships. NOTE this is not happening days after the cruise missile strikes, it is happening within HOURS of it happening.
Now remember I also said there would be a bunch of these ships assigned to each taskforce? Why? Because they will be used for follow on attacks against US Military units that start to move and/or deploy, including airbases not hit or where protected aircraft were based.
china would concentrate on first taking control of major seaports and airports and the moment they have those RORO and ROLO ships waiting at sea would come in and unload tanks, armor and troops. Follow on containers ships would arrive with containers full of additional supplies.
But what about the US Navy? Well, china now has 4x the number of active combat ships of the US Navy.. and this current regime we have is STILL MOTHBALLING Naval ships. Not to mention, this regime already removed ALL TANKS from the entire US Marine corp and has done a whole lot more damage through out our military forces. (look it up, this is not a joke)
The US Navy would have no choice but to attempt to break through the enemy naval taskgroups to stop additional attacks.. and even if the US Navy somehow was able to get back to all three coasts, THAT is where they would have to remain to insure no more supplies or troops than what are already landed, could come in by sea. However again, we no longer have the naval forces to do this anymore.
In fact some of you may have noted I did not even mention chinas brand new modern attack submarine fleet.. Well, mark my words they won't be doing nothing. While those task forces are moving around the globe hiding at sea, those subs will be stationing themselves in locations to interdict US ships once the go code is given. They will prioritize carriers (CVN and LHA) and any other combat surface vessels they can take out on a first strike.
Sadly some have been trying to warn the people of this potential situation. china is well into its 100 year plan and if you have studied chinese history and warfare, you know exactly what that means. We are right now in that bullseye.
If what I wrote scares you, it should. it terrifies me and I have worn the uniform honorably for the US Navy... and should the worst come to pass and I am needed again, I will do so again.. even as a medically retired disabled Veteran.
BTW, don't just take my word for what I wrote. Everything can be checked and verified. And while most numbers are estimates based on public information, that is not the point of this discussion. The point is china now massively outweighs the USA militarily in size across the board. And while some will argue that our "technology" will win the day, many of us in the know and trained in this stuff, know better. Technology will help, have no doubt on that.
