We very much prefer to be friends so I like to focus on that side! Being a vet myself I'd love for you to do a reaction vid on the amount of humanitarian airlift and help the US military performs. Yes, have to be prepared to fight, but the majority of my missions when I served were in relief efforts all over the world
I'm an American. For the most part, Americans are some of the friendliest and kindest people in the world. Our military is sort of a euphemism for our attitude as a people. We walk politely, but we carry a big stick.
You're a bit naïve if you think America is simply "walking politely" with its military actions. America is absolutely the villain to a lot of people, and justifiably so.
If you want to know why America has its global empire, it comes down to the Brretton Woods Accords at the end of WW2, and is what established global trade the last 80 years. Our navy is precisely why global trade is even possible.
I appreciated the thoughtful conversation at the end of the video. You (Sam and Nadine) are _really_ teaching your kids how to think-plus, it always seems like you’re all having a _great_ time! 👍😊
Seriously! The critical thinking those kids are learning by being part of these types of conversations is gonna benefit them so much in the long term. As a new dad, I'm taking notes lol
Yes and we could be using that for better. Helping our people here instead of everywhere else. We can chill with wars and help our own. We’re not in danger. Our own government and elite are a bigger threat to us than any 5 nations combined.
That's God's gift to mankind! To lived once and not to have a family of your own, you will never know what you're missing. It's the most precious thing in life, sitting there with your family and having a conversation about going family camping next week or taking the girl out to gymnastic or the boy to soccer practice. I would die to go back and tweak some things it would be to have a family!
The irony is that the vast majority of us who live in the US don't really like getting involved in world affairs. There's a few hot spots we take note of, and a few countries we have contractual obligations to help defend (South Korea and Taiwan being the two major ones) but in general, as citizens, just take a "Live and let live" sort of response to what's going on in the world. That said we don't really like people messing with us either, which is why I'm totally on board with having a very well funded, hi-tech military. Plus if anyone tried to make landfall in the US with an army pretty much everyone is armed! Plus we love you guys, so we'll get the military to airdrop pallets of pumpkin pies and turkeys over your house! :D
US citizens alone, if we had to defend our homeland, wed be considered a major military force because so many have weapons and a few even have high powered weapons like the Barret 50 Cal sniper, some have tanks that, lets face it, could easily be made into actual firing vehicles to use and many more
"There will be more bullets firing at from underneath every rock, hill, and bush" was the warning the Japanese came to when considering invading America before WW2.
The reason the U.S. is so far ahead in technology is because we spend more in research and development than countries spend on their entire militaries. This coming year alone, the U.S. budget for R&D is $130 billion.
The reason for the technological gaps for long range capability came from WW2. We had to greatly advance our capabilities in order to effectively aid the allies to victory. Since then our military budget has stayed very high to maintain that capability and technological advantage.
Close, but really. It was the Cold War. To explain, Russia would *say* they built this super deadly thing, and Americans would build a super deadly thing to match it. Russia thought they could run out the U.S. budget. 😂 They discovered how large our budget is.
what tech Gap ... Canada ... has the same junk the americans have ... and we are perfectly placed to reduce your Command and control to nothing within the first week . and OWN the top 1/3rd of your country taking your food and military construction away as well as your nuke ability and major seaports ... and that is by themselves in the first week .... now yur high tech advantage is BOGUS .... like the video you and they forgot about 38Million people as wel equpied and better stationed to dessimate Ameirca ...
we are so advanced in military tech, for a couple of reasons. 1. We have been at constant war since the 1700's, so we have to have the best military. 2. We devote more money into our military than all other countries combined, or really close to it. So, our military R&D budget is just crazy over the top.
They wondered why China is still 10 years behind us, it's because we don't let them steal our _new_ stuff. Which is where their tech advances come from, theft. One thing the commies of whatever nation have relied on - theft.
The amount of money the government wastes while expecting more money from citizens is ridiculous. Especially when they spend it on things that go against the Constitution, laws, America, etc.
@@georgemarcouxjr6192 Biden sure did leave but who was the one that made the deal with the taliban that excluded the Afghan government and freed 5k taliban prisoners while he was at it??? Or did fox news not tell you that part.
Hadn't seen this video before, but glad to see your reaction! The video appears to be VERY realistic, which I appreciate. Some people I've discussed similar scenarios with didn't like my belief that no other country would set foot on our soil, but this lays it out pretty clearly, I think. Further, however, our non-nuclear strike capabilities would likely be absolutely capable of destroying any opposing shipyards, rendering those nations unable to repair or build ships to cross the ocean.
Hello from Tennessee! I was amazed at the concentration on all of y'alls faces during this video. Y'all are fun to watch! I've been subscribed to y'all for over a year and I wish I could send you something about Tennessee but I'm on a fixed income so I can't. I'm really looking forward to seeing Tennessee put up on your map as it's still blank. Love your channel and I never miss an episode. Tell us more about NZ and your experiences there.
I also live in Tennessee. West Tennessee. I’m sure you’ve heard of Jackson. It would be cool if they visited somewhere like Chattanooga on their U.S. vacation
America's military is so advanced because we have been playing the role of protector for all of our allies. People like to talk about how great the social safety net of countries like Sweden and Norway are but they only have the money for those things because they barely invest anything into their own defenses. All of our allies know that America will protect them in case of a war. We build up our military so they don't have to. This leaves them weak if America ever cuts ties.
We've been playing the role of bully to guarantee resources and a lack of competition. It protected nobody when we overthrew the Iranian democracy to guarantee cheap oil. It's still not protecting anyone after we messed with every government in Central and South America, including Venezuela. Why did their socialist economy fail? We broke it. We did that. We ensured millions of people would flood toward our borders by eliminating every stable government in the region. We created our own border crisis. We are not the world's savior, but we are proving to be our own downfall.
yep, ive said this all the time and it pisses people off to no fucking end. if america one day went, and this applies to pretty everyone "you know what guys, since you love biting the hand that feeds you...... fuck you. we are no longer funding your military budget, we arent giving you aid, screw off." and we bugged out, all those "amazing free stuff"(which isnt actually free), would dissappear. they can barely afford all the "free" crap even as is. but if america have them the middle finger and they suddenly had to do their own military, all that "free" stuff would go out the window. btw, reason why i go "free" is, lets use sweden. their tax rate is insane, like when i saw it im like "i.......what the actual fuck?" their taxes are bloody insane. and its the same with literally every country that has "free" stuff, their taxes are insane. weird, its almost like it isnt actually free and stuff like healthcare actually needs money............
You and your family probably know more about the United States than most of the students in the United States from watching all these informational/ historical videos. Lovely family.
All they watch is supposed "good" stuff. I have linked them to other vids showing how poor that country is, and they seemingly ignore it to keep the idyllic notion that america is the good guys or some such garbage.
@@RoamingThePNW Yes let's stick our heads in the sand folks, and not look at the other side. After all not educating yourself, and staying ignorant is the way to go!!! YAY!!! Sounds more like your mind doesn't want to work at all.
The tech in the USA is typically more advanced because we spend SOOOOO much more money on it. Not only for our own national defense, but because we have focused on helping other countries for so long. As we supply other countries with our tech, we have to keep advancing our own.
Yeah, which also means we'd really have a lot of allies in a real-world scenario. I thought it was weird that Australia's military wasn't mentioned at all.
@@Potato-pl5cr Agree. But, the the whole premise was based on the entire world vs. the US, and they showed the military capabilities of most large countries, but never once discussed Australia or New Zealand's military abilities or how they would play into any strategies. I thought that was really weird.
I find it interesting that there was no mention of the insane amount of combat drones that could knock out instillations before the planes ever got there to hit them a second time. it would be difficult for any other countries militaries to spot something that small which also has virtually no heat signature until it hits them.
Other countries don't have drones same like mobile phones you Americans are really behind world live in your bubble where all they listen how you are the best the strongest and nobody know what happen in rest of world!!
@@youngrenzel7462 no I mean if a.ercan and the world went to war the casualties would be so great and the economic disaster would be so that Noone would actually win, the world would pretty much be destroyed. It would be a loss civilisation in a matter of months,
@@youngrenzel7462 and yea your right alot of countries depend on America, without America most European countries would always be at war with each other, or Russia or China. You think if America was gone Russia wouldn't invade all other eastern European countries? Or north Korea attack South? Or China attack and invade every other Asian country on the planet?
I noticed Mom and daughter looked so much alike while watching this, with head tilt and expressions. Also two other vloggers I watch were recently in New Zealand and having fun.
It's said that the technology here in America on average is approximately 10 years behind the technology that our military hasn't revealed to anyone that it has and some experts say that the gap could be as large as 100 years.
I've heard that when the WWII destroyers were decommissioned and scrapped decades after the war they were still about a half century more advanced than other country's ships. Don't know if that is true, wouldn't surprise me if it was.
@@rtyria It's pretty close to true. America has access to technology that is basically cheating but we're not allowed to use it free per the conditions of those who provided the tech to us. Who that is I will not say but it's not hard to to see what has literally been said openly to the world, just in a way that most people think it's a joke or a movie or they think somebody's crazy. There are those who are off their rockers but 90% of the time it's the truth and mass majority is too afraid of change to accept it.
@R Tyria Mostly Gearing class post war. In their WWII configuration would have been outclassed by any 1960's class destroyer in anything but a direct surface gunfire action, but in their FRAM I and FRAM II refits they gained near parity in anti-submarine capabilities as a Spruance class destroyer, just not as efficiently. The main upside of U.S. WWII built ships wasn't exactly their tech but the fact they had UNHOLY amounts of 20mm and 40mm AA guns that post war in the jet age were all but useless. So removing those freed up massive amounts of topside weight and real-estate to bolt on fancy modern stuff. Take for example the removal of 4 5"-38 turrets on the Iowa class battle ships in their 1980's configuration to mount Tomahawk box launchers. Simple answer... everyone else built svelte Lamborghinis and we built 75 Cadillac Eldorados with shag carpet interiors and V8's derived from tank engines.
It's probably somewhere in the middle I'd assume, around 40-50 years ahead, but it's crazy to think about that there are people who know what tech we'll be using in 50 years
When my brother was in the navy back in early 2k, he said they had some tech they were using in there that still to this day hasn't been released to the public.
They overlooked an incredibly important part of this, access to rubber, with half the areas in the world where it's possible to grow on mass cut off from eu/asia and the other half being in easy reach of naval forces not only could the oil production be cut off to prevent vehicles from running, but the rubber sources can also be cut off for no more tires, which means the transport of goods across the continents would be limited to trains that don't use combustion and be unable to be moved from the trains destination to where it needs to go, limiting where forces can gather and making the amount of targets needing to be hit to win even fewer still.
@@elessartelcontar9415 Doesn't change the fact that they need the rubber to make them to begin with and once vulcanized they can no longer be used for tires.
Before I joined the marines, I didn’t really have the knowledge of how big our military is and our navy alone lol you ever only hear about famous aircraft carriers and ships that were involved in war but to this day my head still can wrap around how many ships and subs we have and thanks for the video I learned something new!
It's so crazy how you guys made mini twins of yourselves, lol. The women look exactly alike and even have the same facial reactions. While the men look exactly alike and have the same facial reactions also. That's hilarious and awesome.
Sadly this is only half true. We as citizens dont, but many people running our country do want war, because they profit off of it. Its why they are so utterly determined to stop Trump, he was stopping the wars. And thats both sides against him, not a left vs right thing like they try to convince us.
Alaska gets left of the US map most of the time, or if not removed completely then it is simply detached and made very small and placed next to Hawaii in the middle of the Pacific ocean. Look at a bunch of US maps and you will begin to see Alaska is either not there or is tiny and located next to Hawaii instead of huge as it is and occupying the entire left coast of Canada
I first saw a F-15 in a hanger at Nellis AFB in 1973. These are still one of the best aircraft in the world. Who knows what the Skunk Works is up to now, 50 years later?
To answer the question about why the US is so far ahead of everyone else, one of the biggest reasons is because we were relatively unaffected by the devastation of World War 2. We rapidly built up our industrial might during the war, and then afterward we had virtually no rebuilding to have to worry about, so we were free to focus on not only exerting our influence on the world, but continuing our role as the ultimate destination for every bright mind in the world. When you're the place everyone wants to be, you're going to get a massive advantage in virtually every category. After more than 70 years with that kind of a head start, there's little to no chance of anyone else catching up.
Thank you to you and your son for your service!!! I too am the mom of a son who served in the military. Drew served with the Marine Corps in Afghanistan, but passed away 4 years ago. I personally think that a large part of the reason the US is such a superpower is due to all of the members of the military who, out of love for their country and its citizens, unselfishly put their lives on the line to defend us and our freedom! Thank you to all who have served and continue to serve!💝🇺🇸
REY, thank you. Unfortunately he could not get beyond the PTSD he returned from Afghanistan with and became, what was known at the time as one of the twenty two, which at the time meant an average of twenty two veterans a day, across the nation, were taking their own lives! This unfortunately speaks volumes about the lack of care that our government is giving our military members on their return from war zones! 😪
@@patriciastefforia unfortunately it’s a story much too common. And it’s a weird one because so many people know about it, yet nothing is being done about it. It’s part of supporting our troops which everyone can get behind
I think one of the reasons that the US can advance in technology so quickly is that one of the ways we innovate is almost like a sport. For instance, the government casts out wide nets in the form of competitions that academic, corporate, and even citizens themselves can compete in and the best of the best get swooped up into private labs or manufacturing contracts. Another aspect is the immense freedom to innovate. I have friends who immigrated to the US whose parents were scientists. Their parents flourished immediately upon arrival because they weren't forced to work on one specific idea or command as to the development of a specific technology. Not even speaking of military tech (although I imagine there is a lot of that going on right now with respect to whom I am about to mention) Elon Musk could have never accomplished what he has in South Africa or even Canada. Obviously size and budget are factors but I do think that how our political/economic/academic/citizen dynamics work out plays a very complicated yet--in this manner--successful dynamic for innovation. I'll even give an example from my own life. Without going into detail, my dad invented something related to physical security and a certain body of the US government took notice, paid for a lot of his products, and asked for him to describe the theory and praxis behind his development (and paid him substantially for it.) So all of what I wrote is that the US has a vast environment of different people doing different things but the people involved in advancing these technologies are playing out something similar to fantasy league sports betting and then just actually picking those top "players" to be the ones working on the next breakthrough.
Here in the US you're constantly encouraged to innovate, explore, educate. If you have an idea, and it turns out to be a good idea you're rewarded no matter how big or small. The only obstacle is making sure you're the first and/or best one.
Always a joy to see you all. Such a beautiful and connected bunch. Enjoy this special time Sam. Soon they will grow up and become more independent. Mine sure did. ♠
Much of it has to do with WW2 and the Cold War. Remember that even before the US got involved with WW2 directly we were supplying the allies, Britain in particular, with LUDICROUS amounts of war material. This laid the groundwork for the military industrial complex aided by the fact that aside from Pearl Harbor, which we rapidly rebuilt, we were basically unscathed unlike the rest of Europe and Asia. That industry then went on steroids during the Cold War arms race with Russia and by the time they'd collapsed the US had the most enhanced and far flung military in the world. At that point dialing back would mean the loss of millions of jobs domestically and potential chaos globally if we started shutting down foreign bases in hot territories so the only way to go was up. Warmongering billionaires being in or connected to positions of high power in our government helped fuel that industry even further in the post-cold war era and then... 9/11. That one event took an already dominant military power and skyrocketed it to nigh on Godly levels. All this brushes over a LOT of details but yeah, thats kinda the gist of how we became the unbeatable military juggernaut we are now.
We also supplies the Soviet Union and Chinese with a lot as well during WW2. The British Empire did receive the most aid, But the USSR was 2nd in aid received followed by France and China. The fact is while the world burned, we became the factory for everyone and gave them debt. That is the main reason behind being so far ahead, not to mention we may have taken all the best scientist from the AXIS nations.
I live in Wisconsin. Just for 9 days of gun hunting for whitetail deer we have 600,000 people that come to hunt from all 50 states with guns. It's equivelent to the 6th biggest military in the world. Generates over a billion dollars.
@@llib90630i’m sure he’s saying that no one would even be able to step onto US grounds even if they wanted to. Even the civilians are armed. The whole country is basically an entire army.
The crazy part is that us Americans are just a bunch of people from all of the other nations who were tired of the BS. Americans are no particular race or ethinicity, they are simply the worlds fearless willing to go their own way. Pretty sure that's our greatest strength as well as the cause of our internal struggles. I'm optimistic that we'll figure it out.
Seriously? Instead of saying that all Third Reich like, why not just say you appreciate our military or something. I don’t know, “and highly favored “ made me feel a bit ick.
I Live In The USA And Our Military Completely Blows My Mind. So Much Love And Respect To All Of The Brave Men And Women Who Serve. Thank You For All That You Do So That I Can Be Free. :)
Depending on who's looking at the map, it might be a good thing if NZ is missing. Sometimes, staying under the radar is best apptoach 👍😂. Wish you guys the best!
I like your videos on the American wars; they are very interesting. Although you are missing a lot of needed information on what's led up to our super power. You should check out the information on all our wars,conflicts or disagreements as well. What and who decided that those actions and the outcome was the correct answer. We have alot of internal problems that are well hidden. Try a state by state war history check like the war of 1812, the Civil War and so on. Its been a great view so far ty & gl in your travels.

@@Skythe. it doesn't even have to resort to that. The global economies would crumble, and set the whole world back to early industrialized nations. Or even pre industrialized until a new source of energy could be obtained. Oil set the ball rolling. Without it civilization as we know it in modern times stops. No need for mass destruction.
The tech advantage we in the US have is based on money and money alone. Truly. We spend Trillions on research n development that aren't included in the military spending budget the world or even US citizens are aware of. You all Rock, thank for letting us come into your lives and sharing it with us. We're reminded how good we actually have it here in the States....thru your eyes.
Another reason is because of the 'yeehaw/maverick/hero' energy. Allow me to explain... I'm a pilot. I had to research a bunch of crashes and the root cause analysis behind them. A surprising number of overseas incidents were due to a breakdown of communication (non-western pilots). #hierarchy... if a Captain makes a bad judgement call, here in the west, most co-pilots (junior) will roger up and engage in a dialogue to discuss any and all concerns - mission 1st. In many other countries, hierarchy is paramount. i.e. 'respect your elders' or 'the nail that sticks out gets hammered' etc I view our technological superiority from a sociological lense. I see people like Steve Jobs (Apple) as modern day cowboys. 🤠
I think that the reason the US military is so far ahead is briefly touched on in the infographics video. It said something to the effect of the US military has had to focus on the rest of the world since it is kinda an island to itself geographically.
It isn’t even that far ahead though. Israel has a lot of much better tech. For example any expert will tell you that Israel’s Iron Dome air defence system is far superior to America’s Patriot system. A lot of British and German Weapons Platforms and Communication systems are easily on par with American systems too. America’s advantage is mostly in size. European troops are often better trained too. British troops regularly beat American troops in exercises, whether they are staged in America or Europe. And when I say beat they humiliate them. In the last war games they had the British troops beat the Americans so quickly they had time for a rematch, which the British then went and won even faster. This video pretty much assumes that the rest of the world would just sit by and watch as America did everything without putting up the slightest resistance. It’s just silly. America’s Military is supposed to be able to fight a full scale war in 2 theatres. Russia, China, the Middle East, Europe, South America, and the South Pacific makes 6 if we are being generous. They would be so hopelessly outmanned, and in many cases, as in when fighting European armies or the Israelis, they would be fighting forces of equal or better quality with tech every bit as good as theirs. There is no way America would win this war.
@@InceyWincey You are making the massive mistake of assuming we'd be fighting a politically correct war instead of a real war at this point. America has been stunted militarily for years now because we havent been allowing our military to wage outright war. We have been trying to maintain properties and other essential needs for cities and such. If we were taking on the entire world, that would be out the door and we'd just be straight up blowing everything up. And the Iron Dome would be dropped in minutes if our Air Force or Navy attacked it. Out manned doesnt remotely matter, it wont be a ground war. Which is what you are utterly failing to grasp. Plus... America would "lose"? We wouldnt even be attacked on our own soil. Not a single nation on the planet has the capability to attack the US mainland. America is the only country on the planet with a deep ocean transport ability. You cant attack something you cant reach.
Minot or Barkesdale? I lived in Minot. I miss seeing them in the air!! I'm in Illinois, about an hour north of downtown St Louis and have Scott AFB here in this area.
I live in small town America. Population of our little town sits around 600. We easily have at least 3000 guns all together. Our neighboring towns would have the same. If you get past our military, you have to deal with us. Love your vids. Beautiful family.
"And we love our family and friends." Ehhhhh... we like to shoot up places and have healthcare tied to jerbs. We don't love much of anything but our punitive corporate slave masters and the dollar.
Part of the reason we have so much is because we are so isolated. We have needed a strong navy all the way back to the beginning of the us. It's also why it would be so hard to attack us. This video is best viewed as a 2 parter with the us fighting off a home invasion one. I always thought of them playing out simultaneously
Our greatest strength, as Americans, is our democracy and partnership with other nations who share our values. Having such a powerful military is only possible if we preserve these values.
Im going to have to watch that one. Im a deer hunter in wisconsin. Our schools all let out for opener because they know most kids wont be showing up. Im assuming that day there are enough armed people out hunting that it would constitute one of the largest armed forces in the world. Hahaha. Crazy to think about.
trust me no body have advanced technology than US, I don't know how to thank you for loving my country so much, you know about AMERICA MORE THAN THE AMERICANS' THANK YOU AND I LOVE YOU. GOD BLESS YOU AND GOD BLESS THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
Please react to David Phelps singing The Star Spangled Banner from the Legacy of Love Tour. My grandmother would love to see your reaction to it. She loves it❤❤❤
Great job; loved the video! The U.S. is the sole global superpower and is able to project power across the globe, which would be the deciding factor in this hypothetical conflict. The reason for this is based on geography; the U.S. is huge and is self-sufficient in crucial things like food and energy while at the same time being protected by huge barriers (oceans). Therefore, the U.S. would be able to pick and choose the battles in order to cripple enemies while never having to worry about its own defense due to its isolation.
The US military is so big, in part, because of the role we play in kind of protecting the world but also when you are the worlds lone true superpower you have to have that deterrent. You can’t ever let anyone think there’s a weakness in the Armor. One thing I think most Americans really take for granted is the fact that, despite being hated by a number of countries, we’re almost completely safe within our borders. I think that’s part of the reason 9/11 was so shocking and devastating. Someone actually hit us at home and it shattered that bubble for a minute.
We protect The World ? USA is responsible of 90% of intervention in other countries. The truth is USA Make weapons to spend Money. At first it was defence but now Military Industrial Complex is So Big its a Monster Which has become main industry . Its food is Money & pump more & more to keep it alive. The whole industry will die if we don't make new weapons . Its way past " Our safety " . Now it more about only profit of large corporations .
Thank you for the respect you have for us Americans. I feel like even though we are seen as responsible for the peace around most of the world, we are usually the end of many jokes and criticisms.
In life it's mother nature and human competition to be on top, just honest speaking that's the reason why China and Russia can never see eye to eye with America... Simply they want to toppled the us and be the top dog!
The military advantage the U.S. has over the rest of the world has less to do with the amount of money we spend and more about how we spend it. Because our military budget is now about $850 BILLION, we spend a large chunk of that on tech and development.Our most recent 5th generation fighter is the F-35,. But we also make several versions of it. For example, the U.S. Marine Corps uses the F-35 B Lightning Ii, a version built like the British Harrier that allows for short take offs and direct level landing like a helicopter. Developed at a HUGE overrun in money, it has really only been in active use the 10-15 years. But they were designing it since right after tge Gulf War. And we are currently working on new aircraft that most likely come out for another 35 years. Meanwhile, a bulk of countries simply buy U.S. or Russian arms/planes already in existence. Basically what I am trying to say is that by the time a new generation of jet. comes out, it is basically obsolete. And that is intentional. We would not sell our "new" planes if we didn't already have the ability to defeat them. I realize that other countries also make highly advanced aircraft. But NOBODY does it on the scale the U.S. does. So it would be quite possible to defeat those too based upon sheer numbers alone. We are constantly preparing for the war that is coming that hasn't even been thought of yet and the rest of the world has a very difficult time just trying to keep up.
In other words, best to stay in New Zealand, because the rest of the world is crazy 🤪 😂! And always find out who's providing true information, versus who is selling propaganda, before you buy into any one philosophy. Love your family..keep up the good work..😘

@@Glitch-lk6sh You've no doubt heard of "MAD". Mutually Assured Destruction. The US has nuclear weapons. Russia has nuclear weapons. China has them too. So does India, and if I'm right, Iran is right on the cusp of having them. One weapon goes into the air, the rest of the world freaks out, launches theirs, and when they all explode... That's all folks. Except for the people on the International Space Station "MIR", it would be the end of life on the planet. To put a finer point on it, if every country launched every nuclear weapon they had, there would be enough energy spent in the resulting explosion to crack the planet in half ~150 times.
@@Estranged180 also all of the nukes combined and all that we can make will only be like a meteor planet would be fine but it’s surface would suffer radiation
@@Glitch-lk6sh USA doesn't need nukes to make a REALLY bad famine. Our farmlands provide about 40% of China's food(primarily pork and grains), not to mention we provide quite a bit of food for african countries. A billion people would starve to death in the first 2 months. Even if the countries could GROW the shit, the bulk of them don't have the logistics to get it where it needs to go before it rots. Then with the big oil embargo, it would be even worse. Then the U.S. forces would do the sorties with Europe and most of the middle east. The only one that could REALLY challenge the U.S. would be a Chinese, Indian, and Australian alliance. This is where they would take the bulk of casualties.
We're so far ahead of everybody else in terms of technology because we've been extremely paranoid since world war I. Ever since then our primary goal has been to secure ourselves our allies in the vital trade routes in the world. Meanwhile other countries leaderships were more focused on controlling a specific region sometimes just their own country or government was worried about the world.
@@cp368productions2 maybe not during world war I but definitely after and during world war II because we started looking at big picture situations. And realized all of our allies were right next to us every other war we were going to fight was going to be far away.
As an American my self when I’m trying to look for a world map I have to look very hard because most maps don’t have places like New Zealand and Antarctica
It sounds so overwhelming, and very depressing. In the end, no one wins, we all suffer from the losses and fall of global economy. We would miss our New Zealand friends so much, we would have to go rescue your entire country to keep you safe!
I think we, the USA, should be careful not to be so sure of ourselves. There are a lot of unknown variables that could play out with any war, and especially if the whole world wanted us taken out. Hope none of us ever see such a day!! Meanwhile, in the words of President Teddy Roosevelt, we’d do well to “walk softly and carry a big stick.” God Bless you guys.
For real, the dude that made this video didn't even make it so the rest of the world would fight back, he was speaking as if they wouldn't do anything apart from stay in their own country 😂
I really enjoyed that video. I didn't realize United States could be that strong. I also didn't realize that the whole world relies on American currency. It's the number one. It blows my mind sometimes that in United States people from all over the world living here. I'm so glad that the United States And other countries Or stepping up to help Ukraine. Those poor people really need as much help as they can. It breaks my heart to see what's going on over there. Anyhow love you guys enjoyed it.
It makes me cry that Russia is sending in those young, conscript soldiers.... Poorly skilled and under-supplied. I still hope for Ukraine, mind you, I just feel badly for those young soldiers fighting and dying over there. 😢
European militaries are nowhere near as helpless as infographic shows would have us believe. (With the exception of Germany, perhaps) This channel is too America-centric and never tires of making other countries looking bad. Please inform yourself at the official sources of the respective countries.
Something else that the video they watched didn't touch on. Most of the western world relies on US GPS satellites. Some nations, Russia and as shown in the video, China, have their own, but the quality isn't nearly the same, and it would take some codemasters to get Western fighters working off the Russian GPS network anyway. Many of those codemasters? Probably in the US... Just by blocking access to our GPS sats, the US could cripple a lot of other nation's militaries pretty heavily compared to our own.
Just think about all the inventions and innovations created in the USA over the last century.. it's mind boggling how dependent the world is on the USA. Declaring war on the USA would be like declaring war on yourself.
Please let your children know that in the United States, we were taught street games ( a neighborhood group of kids) that allowed us to use nurf guns or paint ball guns to learn how to be operators in adult years, starting at age 17. Please do not fear us, we will protect you without fear or being in the military.
Who fears you 😂 actually. On ground things are different rest of the world is not Ukraine 😂. And if it would be see Russia hasn't got Ukraine yet 😂😂. So just saying things and proving both are different.
@@chacha-r5y5n EVERYONE. FEARS. US. You are just bullshitting yourself if you think otherwise. If you made landfall in Texas...the military wouldn't even have to get involved. We got it covered. In Texas we own tanks. We own Tigers. (more tigers in Texas than in the rest of the world combined) And we own guns. Lots and lots of guns. You have no idea. I have gotten but a mere glimpse. And I live here. Further...gun type games...almost EVERYONE played as a kid. In rural areas, everyone can shoot. And even in urban areas, about 45% of the population can shoot. And that is besides the fact that the US military spends more than the next 8 countries combined. The 2nd largest airforce, is the US navy. The first being the US airforce. Then Russia. Then the US army, then the US Marines. Then India or whomever. 4 of the top 5 largest air forces are American. We have 11 supercarriers. China is the next closest with 3. Anyone who actually UNDERSTANDS, is afraid. That is why no one is scared of Putin, except for him being crazy enough to push the button. And even if he does...1 patriot system has already taken out 6 (or perhaps more at this point) hypersonic missiles. Almost every large ship is equipped with Thad. And those are just two of our 8 layers of protection. If the entire world turned against us...and no nukes were involved. We win, easily. Because we prepared to win. It is like Georgia football playing a middle school team. You could have 50 players on the field against us. It doesn't actually matter. And if someone DID attack us? This culture war bullshit would fall away quickly as we ALL united against you. Even when we aren't in a war...when we are bored, we war with each other. So when you ask who fears us, it only tells me how little you actually understand. Have a nice day. 🤣
@@chacha-r5y5n The taliban aren't a peer military. Derp. When we invaded afghanistan they got completely wrecked in DAYS, then fled to the mountains and spent years doing guerilla warfare. If that's your example, you failed terribly. That's why I said peer military.
Great vídeo guys. As an American it’s good to know we would never attempt this. Just wouldn’t fly with the American people and almost every American is armed.
Part of the challenge countries like China face is their education system. While the US focuses a lot of learning through trial and error, which translates into strong R&D innovations. China focuses on memorization which is great for test taking but not so good for innovation.
commenting before I watch... This video is incomplete if it doesn't mention the absolute impossibility of seizing and controlling any territory on the US Mainland as a result of civilian ownership of over 400,000,000 firearms. Roughly 1/2 of all guns owned by both military and civilians in the entire world. As an example... I have 3 of my guns within 3 feet of me, right now in my home-office. A pistol, an PDW, and an AR15... Pistol leaves the room with me. Its not possible to win a war if you can't actually occupy enemy territory.
We are so far ahead of the world in military technology is quite simply, because we have to protect the world. No other nation in history has taken on the responsibility of protecting a majority of the population of earth. So basically, it came about because of necessity. If we didn't take that role and just worried about the US, we most likely wouldn't be as far ahead. We know that an attack on our actual homeland is pretty much a death sentence for any military to try it. We would still be ahead, but I don't think it would be as far as we are. Just personal opinion.
It was interesting how your family instantly capitulated, " we give up". I do not know a single American that thinks this way... ours is never give up, die standing and never kneel to anyone.
I could be totally wrong here but I think that we (Americans), since we are a country built with immigrants migrating here to get away from persecutions of many countries, we, as individuals know many of the problems other countries face in terms of laws, religion, equality, and other problems, strive to try to help fix injustices around the world and know how much power, patriotism and hard times our country endured to gain our freedoms. We like to think that we are helping friends in need while we are not always looked at that way. Sometimes we are told to mind our own business and stay out of conflicts but that mostly comes from the people causing the problems. The everyday people in those countries seem to be thankful to us for helping them. There are always those times we get an idiot president like we have now that gets Americans and our friends killed by leaving people and over a billion dollars in helicopters, tanks, guns and ammo to the Taliban and fails the American people who now mostly hate him and wish he had been given to the Taliban instead. We love our country and hate when our government goes against what is right.
You guys should do an episode about America and it’s gun ranges, privately owned firearms, the Dragon Man UA-cam channel or The Collector UA-cam channel, gun crime in America, etc… that would get a lot of views!
You did touch on something important as far as capability, which is, “that we know of”… the USA had stealth technology almost half a century ago, with the f-117a’s first official flight in 1981. It’s been theorized that our official technology is 30 years ahead of what the public is told… it’s actually scary to think about what might actually be going on.
I hear what you're saying about a war of strategy... and not to stroke bravado here but who would stop them from closing trade routes? that is off of might... also, like you guys mentioned technological advances due to military spending will be a very decisive factor

We very much prefer to be friends so I like to focus on that side! Being a vet myself I'd love for you to do a reaction vid on the amount of humanitarian airlift and help the US military performs. Yes, have to be prepared to fight, but the majority of my missions when I served were in relief efforts all over the world
No doubt, it's not talked about enough
I'm an American. For the most part, Americans are some of the friendliest and kindest people in the world. Our military is sort of a euphemism for our attitude as a people. We walk politely, but we carry a big stick.
You're a bit naïve if you think America is simply "walking politely" with its military actions. America is absolutely the villain to a lot of people, and justifiably so.
If you want to know why America has its global empire, it comes down to the Brretton Woods Accords at the end of WW2, and is what established global trade the last 80 years. Our navy is precisely why global trade is even possible.

Yes and we could be using that for better. Helping our people here instead of everywhere else. We can chill with wars and help our own. We’re not in danger. Our own government and elite are a bigger threat to us than any 5 nations combined.
That's God's gift to mankind! To lived once and not to have a family of your own, you will never know what you're missing.

Subscriber from Texas here, always love your videos, keep them coming. Denzy and Atlanta are growing up fast LOL. Lots of love you guys!
The irony is that the vast majority of us who live in the US don't really like getting involved in world affairs. There's a few hot spots we take note of, and a few countries we have contractual obligations to help defend (South Korea and Taiwan being the two major ones) but in general, as citizens, just take a "Live and let live" sort of response to what's going on in the world. That said we don't really like people messing with us either, which is why I'm totally on board with having a very well funded, hi-tech military. Plus if anyone tried to make landfall in the US with an army pretty much everyone is armed! Plus we love you guys, so we'll get the military to airdrop pallets of pumpkin pies and turkeys over your house! :D
I wish I could send something besides kind words because, these people who claim to be ordinary are EXTRAORDINARY!!👍
Taiwan is not a country
They would have to make it across the sea first and I just don't see that happening.
Bro, they got you good. The US is the great Satan of the world. The only reason we have 'allies' is because we bully them into it, or bribe them.
US citizens alone, if we had to defend our homeland, wed be considered a major military force because so many have weapons and a few even have high powered weapons like the Barret 50 Cal sniper, some have tanks that, lets face it, could easily be made into actual firing vehicles to use and many more
Many people forget that even if you get past our military, you have another one to get through. The American people.
I have more guns than people living in my house
For real…my culdesaq is 100% firearm owners, and we are all competent.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 *the rainbow people*
yes we do have gun rights but if we went against the world nuclear fall out would happen. all lose
"There will be more bullets firing at from underneath every rock, hill, and bush" was the warning the Japanese came to when considering invading America before WW2.
The reason the U.S. is so far ahead in technology is because we spend more in research and development than countries spend on their entire militaries. This coming year alone, the U.S. budget for R&D is $130 billion.
more money to military and all companys and fuck the ppl in the ass its the amarican dream!!!! lol
Total military expenditures yearly are at approximately 10% of the total budget .
"You're welcome". - Silicon Valley.
and the last time i looked at the defense budget i was $700 billion
Imagine if we took a year or two to invest that money in things that actually improve day to day life. One can only dream
Amazing I learn more about my United States watching your family from New Zealand. Thank you for posting.
The reason for the technological gaps for long range capability came from WW2. We had to greatly advance our capabilities in order to effectively aid the allies to victory. Since then our military budget has stayed very high to maintain that capability and technological advantage.
Close, but really. It was the Cold War.
To explain, Russia would *say* they built this super deadly thing, and Americans would build a super deadly thing to match it. Russia thought they could run out the U.S. budget. 😂
They discovered how large our budget is.
what tech Gap ... Canada ... has the same junk the americans have ... and we are perfectly placed to reduce your Command and control to nothing within the first week . and OWN the top 1/3rd of your country taking your food and military construction away as well as your nuke ability and major seaports ... and that is by themselves in the first week .... now yur high tech advantage is BOGUS .... like the video you and they forgot about 38Million people as wel equpied and better stationed to dessimate Ameirca ...
we are so advanced in military tech, for a couple of reasons. 1. We have been at constant war since the 1700's, so we have to have the best military. 2. We devote more money into our military than all other countries combined, or really close to it. So, our military R&D budget is just crazy over the top.
They wondered why China is still 10 years behind us, it's because we don't let them steal our _new_ stuff. Which is where their tech advances come from, theft. One thing the commies of whatever nation have relied on - theft.
The amount of money the government wastes while expecting more money from citizens is ridiculous. Especially when they spend it on things that go against the Constitution, laws, America, etc.

Hadn't seen this video before, but glad to see your reaction! The video appears to be VERY realistic, which I appreciate. Some people I've discussed similar scenarios with didn't like my belief that no other country would set foot on our soil, but this lays it out pretty clearly, I think. Further, however, our non-nuclear strike capabilities would likely be absolutely capable of destroying any opposing shipyards, rendering those nations unable to repair or build ships to cross the ocean.

America's military is so advanced because we have been playing the role of protector for all of our allies. People like to talk about how great the social safety net of countries like Sweden and Norway are but they only have the money for those things because they barely invest anything into their own defenses. All of our allies know that America will protect them in case of a war. We build up our military so they don't have to. This leaves them weak if America ever cuts ties.
We've been playing the role of bully to guarantee resources and a lack of competition. It protected nobody when we overthrew the Iranian democracy to guarantee cheap oil. It's still not protecting anyone after we messed with every government in Central and South America, including Venezuela. Why did their socialist economy fail? We broke it. We did that. We ensured millions of people would flood toward our borders by eliminating every stable government in the region. We created our own border crisis. We are not the world's savior, but we are proving to be our own downfall.
yep, ive said this all the time and it pisses people off to no fucking end.
if america one day went, and this applies to pretty everyone "you know what guys, since you love biting the hand that feeds you...... fuck you. we are no longer funding your military budget, we arent giving you aid, screw off." and we bugged out, all those "amazing free stuff"(which isnt actually free), would dissappear. they can barely afford all the "free" crap even as is. but if america have them the middle finger and they suddenly had to do their own military, all that "free" stuff would go out the window.
btw, reason why i go "free" is, lets use sweden. their tax rate is insane, like when i saw it im like "i.......what the actual fuck?" their taxes are bloody insane. and its the same with literally every country that has "free" stuff, their taxes are insane. weird, its almost like it isnt actually free and stuff like healthcare actually needs money............

The tech in the USA is typically more advanced because we spend SOOOOO much more money on it. Not only for our own national defense, but because we have focused on helping other countries for so long. As we supply other countries with our tech, we have to keep advancing our own.
Yeah, which also means we'd really have a lot of allies in a real-world scenario. I thought it was weird that Australia's military wasn't mentioned at all.

It's said that the technology here in America on average is approximately 10 years behind the technology that our military hasn't revealed to anyone that it has and some experts say that the gap could be as large as 100 years.
I've heard that when the WWII destroyers were decommissioned and scrapped decades after the war they were still about a half century more advanced than other country's ships. Don't know if that is true, wouldn't surprise me if it was.
@@rtyria It's pretty close to true. America has access to technology that is basically cheating but we're not allowed to use it free per the conditions of those who provided the tech to us. Who that is I will not say but it's not hard to to see what has literally been said openly to the world, just in a way that most people think it's a joke or a movie or they think somebody's crazy. There are those who are off their rockers but 90% of the time it's the truth and mass majority is too afraid of change to accept it.
@R Tyria Mostly Gearing class post war. In their WWII configuration would have been outclassed by any 1960's class destroyer in anything but a direct surface gunfire action, but in their FRAM I and FRAM II refits they gained near parity in anti-submarine capabilities as a Spruance class destroyer, just not as efficiently. The main upside of U.S. WWII built ships wasn't exactly their tech but the fact they had UNHOLY amounts of 20mm and 40mm AA guns that post war in the jet age were all but useless. So removing those freed up massive amounts of topside weight and real-estate to bolt on fancy modern stuff. Take for example the removal of 4 5"-38 turrets on the Iowa class battle ships in their 1980's configuration to mount Tomahawk box launchers.
Simple answer... everyone else built svelte Lamborghinis and we built 75 Cadillac Eldorados with shag carpet interiors and V8's derived from tank engines.
It's probably somewhere in the middle I'd assume, around 40-50 years ahead, but it's crazy to think about that there are people who know what tech we'll be using in 50 years
When my brother was in the navy back in early 2k, he said they had some tech they were using in there that still to this day hasn't been released to the public.
They overlooked an incredibly important part of this, access to rubber, with half the areas in the world where it's possible to grow on mass cut off from eu/asia and the other half being in easy reach of naval forces not only could the oil production be cut off to prevent vehicles from running, but the rubber sources can also be cut off for no more tires, which means the transport of goods across the continents would be limited to trains that don't use combustion and be unable to be moved from the trains destination to where it needs to go, limiting where forces can gather and making the amount of targets needing to be hit to win even fewer still.
In the US old tires can be vulcanized into new rubber products. Same with scrap metal for vehicles.
@@elessartelcontar9415 Doesn't change the fact that they need the rubber to make them to begin with and once vulcanized they can no longer be used for tires.
Before I joined the marines, I didn’t really have the knowledge of how big our military is and our navy alone lol you ever only hear about famous aircraft carriers and ships that were involved in war but to this day my head still can wrap around how many ships and subs we have and thanks for the video I learned something new!

Nice “WAR GAMES” movie reference and couldn’t be truer.
To answer the question about why the US is so far ahead of everyone else, one of the biggest reasons is because we were relatively unaffected by the devastation of World War 2. We rapidly built up our industrial might during the war, and then afterward we had virtually no rebuilding to have to worry about, so we were free to focus on not only exerting our influence on the world, but continuing our role as the ultimate destination for every bright mind in the world. When you're the place everyone wants to be, you're going to get a massive advantage in virtually every category. After more than 70 years with that kind of a head start, there's little to no chance of anyone else catching up.
Battles are won by soldiers, wars are won by logistics.

Thank you to you and your son for your service!!! I too am the mom of a son who served in the military. Drew served with the Marine Corps in Afghanistan, but passed away 4 years ago. I personally think that a large part of the reason the US is such a superpower is due to all of the members of the military who, out of love for their country and its citizens, unselfishly put their lives on the line to defend us and our freedom!

I think one of the reasons that the US can advance in technology so quickly is that one of the ways we innovate is almost like a sport. For instance, the government casts out wide nets in the form of competitions that academic, corporate, and even citizens themselves can compete in and the best of the best get swooped up into private labs or manufacturing contracts. Another aspect is the immense freedom to innovate. I have friends who immigrated to the US whose parents were scientists. Their parents flourished immediately upon arrival because they weren't forced to work on one specific idea or command as to the development of a specific technology. Not even speaking of military tech (although I imagine there is a lot of that going on right now with respect to whom I am about to mention) Elon Musk could have never accomplished what he has in South Africa or even Canada.
Obviously size and budget are factors but I do think that how our political/economic/academic/citizen dynamics work out plays a very complicated yet--in this manner--successful dynamic for innovation. I'll even give an example from my own life. Without going into detail, my dad invented something related to physical security and a certain body of the US government took notice, paid for a lot of his products, and asked for him to describe the theory and praxis behind his development (and paid him substantially for it.)
So all of what I wrote is that the US has a vast environment of different people doing different things but the people involved in advancing these technologies are playing out something similar to fantasy league sports betting and then just actually picking those top "players" to be the ones working on the next breakthrough.
Here in the US you're constantly encouraged to innovate, explore, educate. If you have an idea, and it turns out to be a good idea you're rewarded no matter how big or small. The only obstacle is making sure you're the first and/or best one.
Always a joy to see you all. Such a beautiful and connected bunch. Enjoy this special time Sam. Soon they will grow up and become more independent. Mine sure did. ♠
Much of it has to do with WW2 and the Cold War. Remember that even before the US got involved with WW2 directly we were supplying the allies, Britain in particular, with LUDICROUS amounts of war material. This laid the groundwork for the military industrial complex aided by the fact that aside from Pearl Harbor, which we rapidly rebuilt, we were basically unscathed unlike the rest of Europe and Asia. That industry then went on steroids during the Cold War arms race with Russia and by the time they'd collapsed the US had the most enhanced and far flung military in the world. At that point dialing back would mean the loss of millions of jobs domestically and potential chaos globally if we started shutting down foreign bases in hot territories so the only way to go was up. Warmongering billionaires being in or connected to positions of high power in our government helped fuel that industry even further in the post-cold war era and then... 9/11. That one event took an already dominant military power and skyrocketed it to nigh on Godly levels. All this brushes over a LOT of details but yeah, thats kinda the gist of how we became the unbeatable military juggernaut we are now.
I can't find the lie.
We also supplies the Soviet Union and Chinese with a lot as well during WW2. The British Empire did receive the most aid, But the USSR was 2nd in aid received followed by France and China. The fact is while the world burned, we became the factory for everyone and gave them debt. That is the main reason behind being so far ahead, not to mention we may have taken all the best scientist from the AXIS nations.
Love the Vancouver Grizzlies jersey and love your videos.
I live in Wisconsin. Just for 9 days of gun hunting for whitetail deer we have 600,000 people that come to hunt from all 50 states with guns. It's equivelent to the 6th biggest military in the world. Generates over a billion dollars.
in your scenario do the deer have have nuclear attack subs?
@@llib90630i’m sure he’s saying that no one would even be able to step onto US grounds even if they wanted to. Even the civilians are armed. The whole country is basically an entire army.

The crazy part is that us Americans are just a bunch of people from all of the other nations who were tired of the BS. Americans are no particular race or ethinicity, they are simply the worlds fearless willing to go their own way. Pretty sure that's our greatest strength as well as the cause of our internal struggles.

I like your videos on the American wars; they are very interesting. Although you are missing a lot of needed information on what's led up to our super power. You should check out the information on all our wars,conflicts or disagreements as well. What and who decided that those actions and the outcome was the correct answer. We have alot of internal problems that are well hidden. Try a state by state war history check like the war of 1812, the Civil War and so on. Its been a great view so far ty & gl in your travels.

One can only hope this never happens but if it did, regardless of outcome, we all lose.
Nuclear war?

@@Skythe. it doesn't even have to resort to that. The global economies would crumble, and set the whole world back to early industrialized nations. Or even pre industrialized until a new source of energy could be obtained. Oil set the ball rolling. Without it civilization as we know it in modern times stops.
No need for mass destruction.

The tech advantage we in the US have is based on money and money alone. Truly.

Another reason is because of the 'yeehaw/maverick/hero' energy. Allow me to explain...
I'm a pilot. I had to research a bunch of crashes and the root cause analysis behind them. A surprising number of overseas incidents were due to a breakdown of communication (non-western pilots). #hierarchy...
if a Captain makes a bad judgement call, here in the west, most co-pilots (junior) will roger up and engage in a dialogue to discuss any and all concerns - mission 1st.
In many other countries, hierarchy is paramount. i.e. 'respect your elders' or 'the nail that sticks out gets hammered' etc
I view our technological superiority from a sociological lense. I see people like Steve Jobs (Apple) as modern day cowboys. 🤠

I think that the reason the US military is so far ahead is briefly touched on in the infographics video. It said something to the effect of the US military has had to focus on the rest of the world since it is kinda an island to itself geographically.
Its ahead because 70 trillion USD evaluation of its combined economy.
It isn’t even that far ahead though. Israel has a lot of much better tech. For example any expert will tell you that Israel’s Iron Dome air defence system is far superior to America’s Patriot system. A lot of British and German Weapons Platforms and Communication systems are easily on par with American systems too. America’s advantage is mostly in size. European troops are often better trained too. British troops regularly beat American troops in exercises, whether they are staged in America or Europe. And when I say beat they humiliate them. In the last war games they had the British troops beat the Americans so quickly they had time for a rematch, which the British then went and won even faster.
This video pretty much assumes that the rest of the world would just sit by and watch as America did everything without putting up the slightest resistance. It’s just silly. America’s Military is supposed to be able to fight a full scale war in 2 theatres. Russia, China, the Middle East, Europe, South America, and the South Pacific makes 6 if we are being generous. They would be so hopelessly outmanned, and in many cases, as in when fighting European armies or the Israelis, they would be fighting forces of equal or better quality with tech every bit as good as theirs.
There is no way America would win this war.
@@InceyWincey You are making the massive mistake of assuming we'd be fighting a politically correct war instead of a real war at this point. America has been stunted militarily for years now because we havent been allowing our military to wage outright war. We have been trying to maintain properties and other essential needs for cities and such. If we were taking on the entire world, that would be out the door and we'd just be straight up blowing everything up. And the Iron Dome would be dropped in minutes if our Air Force or Navy attacked it. Out manned doesnt remotely matter, it wont be a ground war. Which is what you are utterly failing to grasp. Plus... America would "lose"? We wouldnt even be attacked on our own soil. Not a single nation on the planet has the capability to attack the US mainland. America is the only country on the planet with a deep ocean transport ability. You cant attack something you cant reach.
I recommend reacting to the B-52, since I live near the base that is the home of them. 😇. It really is amazing. Great video 👍

Part of the reason we have so much is because we are so isolated. We have needed a strong navy all the way back to the beginning of the us. It's also why it would be so hard to attack us.
This video is best viewed as a 2 parter with the us fighting off a home invasion one. I always thought of them playing out simultaneously

Our greatest strength, as Americans, is our democracy and partnership with other nations who share our values. Having such a powerful military is only possible if we preserve these values.
A good video to do a "reaction" to is The World's Largest Army - American Hunters, I think you would enjoy the statistics in this video.

Great job; loved the video! The U.S. is the sole global superpower and is able to project power across the globe, which would be the deciding factor in this hypothetical conflict. The reason for this is based on geography; the U.S. is huge and is self-sufficient in crucial things like food and energy while at the same time being protected by huge barriers (oceans). Therefore, the U.S. would be able to pick and choose the battles in order to cripple enemies while never having to worry about its own defense due to its isolation.
Le testate arriverebbero su Washington e sul resto del paese prima di quello che pensi e tante anche
Probably only to be shot down from satellite's, that supposedly don't exist.
The US military is so big, in part, because of the role we play in kind of protecting the world but also when you are the worlds lone true superpower you have to have that deterrent. You can’t ever let anyone think there’s a weakness in the Armor. One thing I think most Americans really take for granted is the fact that, despite being hated by a number of countries, we’re almost completely safe within our borders. I think that’s part of the reason 9/11 was so shocking and devastating. Someone actually hit us at home and it shattered that bubble for a minute.
We protect The World ? USA is responsible of 90% of intervention in other countries. The truth is USA Make weapons to spend Money. At first it was defence but now Military Industrial Complex is So Big its a Monster Which has become main industry . Its food is Money & pump more & more to keep it alive.
The whole industry will die if we don't make new weapons . Its way past " Our safety " . Now it more about only profit of large corporations .
You should absolutely start a petition!How is New Zealand not on the map??? We love you guys!
Thank you for the respect you have for us Americans. I feel like even though we are seen as responsible for the peace around most of the world, we are usually the end of many jokes and criticisms.
In life it's mother nature and human competition to be on top, just honest speaking that's the reason why China and Russia can never see eye to eye with America... Simply they want to toppled the us and be the top dog!
The military advantage the U.S. has over the rest of the world has less to do with the amount of money we spend and more about how we spend it. Because our military budget is now about $850 BILLION, we spend a large chunk of that on tech and development.Our most recent 5th generation fighter is the F-35,. But we also make several versions of it. For example, the U.S. Marine Corps uses the F-35 B Lightning Ii, a version built like the British Harrier that allows for short take offs and direct level landing like a helicopter. Developed at a HUGE overrun in money, it has really only been in active use the 10-15 years. But they were designing it since right after tge Gulf War. And we are currently working on new aircraft that most likely come out for another 35 years. Meanwhile, a bulk of countries simply buy U.S. or Russian arms/planes already in existence. Basically what I am trying to say is that by the time a new generation of jet. comes out, it is basically obsolete. And that is intentional. We would not sell our "new" planes if we didn't already have the ability to defeat them. I realize that other countries also make highly advanced aircraft. But NOBODY does it on the scale the U.S. does. So it would be quite possible to defeat those too based upon sheer numbers alone. We are constantly preparing for the war that is coming that hasn't even been thought of yet and the rest of the world has a very difficult time just trying to keep up.
I love how America is attacking the world instead of the world attacking America, which is exactly how this would play out.
In other words, best to stay in New Zealand, because the rest of the world is crazy 🤪 😂! And always find out who's providing true information, versus who is selling propaganda, before you buy into any one philosophy. Love your family..keep up the good work..😘

US: "we may not win in the end, but we're bringing you all down with us"
Wdym no nukes allowed?
@@Glitch-lk6sh You've no doubt heard of "MAD". Mutually Assured Destruction. The US has nuclear weapons. Russia has nuclear weapons. China has them too. So does India, and if I'm right, Iran is right on the cusp of having them. One weapon goes into the air, the rest of the world freaks out, launches theirs, and when they all explode... That's all folks. Except for the people on the International Space Station "MIR", it would be the end of life on the planet. To put a finer point on it, if every country launched every nuclear weapon they had, there would be enough energy spent in the resulting explosion to crack the planet in half ~150 times.
@@Estranged180 in this scenario there were no nukes used
@@Estranged180 also all of the nukes combined and all that we can make will only be like a meteor planet would be fine but it’s surface would suffer radiation
@@Glitch-lk6sh USA doesn't need nukes to make a REALLY bad famine. Our farmlands provide about 40% of China's food(primarily pork and grains), not to mention we provide quite a bit of food for african countries. A billion people would starve to death in the first 2 months. Even if the countries could GROW the shit, the bulk of them don't have the logistics to get it where it needs to go before it rots. Then with the big oil embargo, it would be even worse. Then the U.S. forces would do the sorties with Europe and most of the middle east. The only one that could REALLY challenge the U.S. would be a Chinese, Indian, and Australian alliance. This is where they would take the bulk of casualties.
We're so far ahead of everybody else in terms of technology because we've been extremely paranoid since world war I. Ever since then our primary goal has been to secure ourselves our allies in the vital trade routes in the world. Meanwhile other countries leaderships were more focused on controlling a specific region sometimes just their own country or government was worried about the world.

I agree because we rely on other resources from other countries having oil overseas terrible idea
I think we, the USA, should be careful not to be so sure of ourselves. There are a lot of unknown variables that could play out with any war, and especially if the whole world wanted us taken out. Hope none of us ever see such a day!!

European militaries are nowhere near as helpless as infographic shows would have us believe.
(With the exception of Germany, perhaps) This channel is too America-centric and never tires of making other countries looking bad.
Please inform yourself at the official sources of the respective countries.
Something else that the video they watched didn't touch on. Most of the western world relies on US GPS satellites. Some nations, Russia and as shown in the video, China, have their own, but the quality isn't nearly the same, and it would take some codemasters to get Western fighters working off the Russian GPS network anyway. Many of those codemasters? Probably in the US... Just by blocking access to our GPS sats, the US could cripple a lot of other nation's militaries pretty heavily compared to our own.
Just think about all the inventions and innovations created in the USA over the last century.. it's mind boggling how dependent the world is on the USA. Declaring war on the USA would be like declaring war on yourself.

Further...gun type games...almost EVERYONE played as a kid. In rural areas, everyone can shoot. And even in urban areas, about 45% of the population can shoot.
And that is besides the fact that the US military spends more than the next 8 countries combined.
The 2nd largest airforce, is the US navy. The first being the US airforce. Then Russia. Then the US army, then the US Marines. Then India or whomever.
4 of the top 5 largest air forces are American.
We have 11 supercarriers. China is the next closest with 3.
Anyone who actually UNDERSTANDS, is afraid.
That is why no one is scared of Putin, except for him being crazy enough to push the button.
And even if he does...1 patriot system has already taken out 6 (or perhaps more at this point) hypersonic missiles.
Almost every large ship is equipped with Thad. And those are just two of our 8 layers of protection.

It is like Georgia football playing a middle school team. You could have 50 players on the field against us. It doesn't actually matter.

Part of the challenge countries like China face is their education system. While the US focuses a lot of learning through trial and error, which translates into strong R&D innovations. China focuses on memorization which is great for test taking but not so good for innovation.

We are so far ahead of the world in military technology is quite simply, because we have to protect the world. No other nation in history has taken on the responsibility of protecting a majority of the population of earth. So basically, it came about because of necessity. If we didn't take that role and just worried about the US, we most likely wouldn't be as far ahead. We know that an attack on our actual homeland is pretty much a death sentence for any military to try it. We would still be ahead, but I don't think it would be as far as we are. Just personal opinion.

I do not know a single American that thinks this way... ours is never give up, die standing and never kneel to anyone.
We love your accents. You would never have to fear us. Free market economy & a military culture is why america v the world would go just like that
I could be totally wrong here but I think that we (Americans), since we are a country built with immigrants migrating here to get away from persecutions of many countries, we, as individuals know many of the problems other countries face in terms of laws, religion, equality, and other problems, strive to try to help fix injustices around the world and know how much power, patriotism and hard times our country endured to gain our freedoms. We like to think that we are helping friends in need while we are not always looked at that way. Sometimes we are told to mind our own business and stay out of conflicts but that mostly comes from the people causing the problems. The everyday people in those countries seem to be thankful to us for helping them. There are always those times we get an idiot president like we have now that gets Americans and our friends killed by leaving people and over a billion dollars in helicopters, tanks, guns and ammo to the Taliban and fails the American people who now mostly hate him and wish he had been given to the Taliban instead. We love our country and hate when our government goes against what is right.

You did touch on something important as far as capability, which is, “that we know of”… the USA had stealth technology almost half a century ago, with the f-117a’s first official flight in 1981. It’s been theorized that our official technology is 30 years ahead of what the public is told… it’s actually scary to think about what might actually be going on.
I hear what you're saying about a war of strategy... and not to stroke bravado here but who would stop them from closing trade routes? that is off of might... also, like you guys mentioned technological advances due to military spending will be a very decisive factor
