    If you want to watch another nearly hour-long video diving deep into how the 9/11 attacks happened, and how US intelligence tracked down and eliminated Osama bin-Laden after a decade-long manhunt, then you should watch this episode's companion video on Nebula here: nebula.tv/videos/reallifelore-modern-conflicts-the-war-on-terror-and-bin-laden-manhunt
    Sidenote: Prices for Nebula are actually rising by $1 per month next month in September, so if you've been on the fence about getting Nebula, it might be a good idea to sign up now before September so you can take advantage of the old pricing.

    My dad served aboard the USS Nimitz. He told me stories of how massive the ship was, that it was like a city on the water. He told me that there were over 5,000 people on board at any given time. As well as how the ship traveled to Europe, Egypt, Israel, Japan, and Alaska while he served on it. Spending months at sea before returning to port. The ship didn't receive refueling until 2001, alongside a refit and major systems overhaul. Over 26 years after the ship was originally commissioned. And we have 11 ships just like it. Damn.

    You mention the well armed population several times, but you neglected to mention that as a result of having such a massive military the US also has a massive veteran population. With 6% of the civilian population being Military veterans. So while there are 2.8 million people currently serving in the military, there are almost 10 times that who have served and the majority of whom would instantly stand up and put that training back to practice.

      Even more importantly than them being soldiers themselves is that they could very easily teach the basics of combat to the many armed civilians.

    I was talking with someone about this after Russia declared the Alaska trade void. Essentially, even if by the Grace of God you make it past 5 armies and make landfall, you'll have the misfortune of dealing with the American populace. Do you know how many people lay in bed and hope tomorrow is the opening scene to Red Dawn? More than there should be and enemy combatants will be swarmed, not because they're enemies but because they're carrying guns and tools that are difficult to get here in the US. That's right, parachute troops might as well be loot crates for the Americans who already have 110 *registered* firearms per 100 people.

Now look at what happened to Russia in Ukraine. US citizens are MUCH better equipped and trained too. It should be 3-5 soldiers for every 1 armed US citizen with fully modified AR-15's, armor, drones, night vision, etc. Oh and also trucks... lots and lots of technical trucks

      Well this video is concerned only with the military part of "conquering" the US. Another crucial factor that determines the US top position (and military power) in the world is economy. The moment the US currency loses its value as the world's currency, the moment the US loses its partners worldwide, then all those 700+ bases will become unsustainable and your military might will slowly fade.

Methinks that would provide A LOT of staging grounds to launch counterattacks against the ENTIRE EFFING WORLD. If the world tries to invade the US, THE US WILL TAKE OVER THE WORLD IN RESPONSE. Send millions of troops across the border? Enjoy every country in the world suffering from immediate counter-invasions that disrupt their ability to support their invasion force like almost immediately.
      And the United Nations would be rendered moot, because the United Nations building exists within US territory last I saw, so any diplomatic justifications would result in UN leadership immediately getting besieged and captured by US armed forces. And since US troops are a big chunk of UN peacekeeping forces, the UN would be toothless to counter the USA because any outright aggression would immediately cause a civil war within their ranks.
      So yeah, even if the US has no support from the entire effing world, IT STILL WINS.

      This video is simply pure American propaganda. How could the crews of aircraft carriers, submarines and other ships stay several years on the oceans without being replaced and resupplied with food, especially those of nuclear submarines? Staying 3 months underwater is psychologically difficult. They resurface and they learn of the death of loved ones. OK the United States has a powerful army from the point of view of military equipment. But the rest is not following the American soldiers are known for not being in the reality of the lightning of wars. They are great warriors in the propaganda of Hollywood war films in reality whether in Vietnam 85% were drug addicts, in Somalia super armed soldiers were routed by barefoot men. In Kuwait and Iraq the only areas they occupied were their military bases. The rest they very rarely left. As for Afghanistan, for an elite army it was rather a military and humanitarian disaster as in all the countries where American imperialism intervened. Should we remember that the United States is the only country to have used two nuclear bombs on civilian populations in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, causing 450,000 deaths; in France, the American air force killed 260,000 civilians, women, children, and the elderly. Yes, the American population is the most armed in the world, but what is it worth compared to highly trained soldiers? During the Vietnam War, which lasted from 1955 to 1975, the American army lost around 40,000 soldiers. However, each year 30,000 to 35,000 Americans die from firearms. between a country where there are the most drug addicts in the world and the most dead, the USA will self-destruct and none of the 8 billion human beings currently on earth want to die for the 380 million Americans

      You also have to Remember.....those estimates for occupation ratios are for an unarmed population. The US is literally the opposite of that, so the 40:1 Is probably more representative of what you'd need for the US. Since every single private citizen has access to guns and explosives.

      ​​@@Patson20 no, later he says something like "the US population is 336 million so the invader would need to leave behind a force of 8.4 million soldiers." 8.4 million * 40 = 336 million so the correct ratio is 1 soldier to 40 civilians. If the ratio really was 40 soldiers to 1 civilian then the force left behind for 336 US million civilians would have to be 13.44 billion which is almost double the current world population. Plus logically thinking, 40 soldiers to one civilian is just stupid and would make no sense. Why would one person need 40 soldiers to keep them in check? A single person cannot simultaneously shoot 40 other people, especially trained soldiers. The US population isn't made up of 336 million Master Chiefs

    • @Patson20
      @Patson20 3 місяці тому +2

      @eduardoalcazar2600 40:1 is a number the military came up with on its own after its experiences in Vietnam and the Middle East occupation. You have to remember this isn't literally a soldier staring at 40 people, it's a force calculation. And this primarily is used for pacification of a hostile, but not actively attacking population. So that means if you've got a town of 4,000 people you'd need 100 soldiers garrisoned in that town to properly pacify it and police it. You have to remember that not everyone will be actively attacking the occupying/invading force or even passively resisting them. A better example would be law enforcement, people still listen to the cops orders, surrender, and go to jail despite the fact that they outnumber the police well beyond 40:1. My town for instance has 4,500 people, but we only ever have one or two cops on duty at a time, 10 total officers. That means the occupation ratio of my town is over 400:1 citizens to police. And yet we still enforce order despite being massively outnumbered because people fear reprisal, and they know we can call additional units from outside the area if we are overwhelmed, much like a occupation force could. And sure if the town all decided let's kill the cops there's almost nothing we could actually do to stop it but history shows that when people rebel its only ever a fraction of the whole.

The US does not consider them full aircraft carriers but they are reletively comperable to the smaller classes of what other countries consider aircraft carriers. They absolutely could function as supporting carriers in a full out war scenario, furthering the U.S. fighter capacity at sea by almost 150 fighters.

    From what I understand is that to get to us they'd need to cross at least one ocean (depending on how many fronts they want to fight), both of which we control very well.
    After that they'd need to establish supply lines (over said oceans, again, very difficult). Then they'd need to hold a significant portion of land before even attempting to push further inland (it'd pretty much be d-day all over again).
    Along side that a majority of all americans (not including armed forces and veterans) own and guns and can use them. Hell, some folks own entire armories, enough to equip a small town.
    Not to mention they'd have to cross mountain ranges either way they want to approach from.
    If they want to approach from land to better deal with supply line issues, they'd need to brave the candian wilderness or fight the mexican cartels.

    A couple of other things to consider about that insurgency: many of them are military veterans with combat experience who've just spent the last 20 years learning how to run an insurgency, how to make improvised explosives, and they have no rules of engagement when someone steps on their land.
    Additionally, many of them haven't just been fantasizing about this scenario, they've been actively preparing for it. There are bunkers stocked with food, weapons, ammo, and supplies all over the country, owned by people who don't trust the US government and don't expect their help or intend to play by their rules.
    They'd actually be scarier to fight because they didn't sign no Geneva Convention, and if the invaders didn't wanna get blown up by IEDs and have their wounded used as bait so that snipers can pick off the reinforcements and then have their bodies booby trapped, well then they shouldn't have come.
