As an American I can confirm that if our military somehow fell, we the civilians have quite the itchy trigger finger for a foreign invader if it ever comes to it!
Unfortunately our current government is allowing an invasion as we speak, with 26 thousand Chinese invaders a month along with thousands more from other hostile countries.
Don’t forget we American Veterans will always honor its oath we took that never ended when we left the military. Trust me we will rise up. Our oath includes defending giants foreign AND DOMESTIC threats
Then explain to me how would the government enforce tyranny without our military? Would anyone currently in the military tell us if you would fire upon your own citizens at the orders of a government they know has become tyrannical and to the glee of those that support them? Inquiring minds want to know.@jenniferanastasia7855
This is currently our largest issue and the fact our president is legitimately fine with us being flooded through our southern border is pretty scary. Biden is the American civilian’s biggest enemy right now.
“We can never invade America,” Japanese Admiral Yamamoto has been quoted as saying. Yamamoto, who attended college in America, explained his logic this way: “There would be a rifle behind every blade of grass.”

@@danielcordeiro5667 nada Que ver Daniel. 1.) We’re talking about an invasion of an army. Not smuggling drugs in a few trucks across the border. 2.) the cartels won’t be able to come together for anything. They’ll kill each other for us. Trust me bro I’m Mexican American and I got nothing but love for my people. Respectfully, It wouldn’t even be close.
With ? I know canada is spyco but with what ? America has a second amendment my house hold alone with 2 people we have 214 guns and we'll over 40,000 rounds of ammo in different types
@@Texas.T Ya know Canadians do own a lot of firearms. Maybe not like Americans, but you'd be surprised. And we also have the people and economy to mobilize quite a large military force if we needed. Every time in history that we were required to fight we stepped up big time. We can do it again.
The US isn't as divided as the media would have you believe. We have freedom of speech, so the little guy gets a loud voice. The silent majority is exactly that...silent. That is, until we really feel the need to speak. When our silent majority speaks, those, who would do us or our allies harm, won't like our answers.
I would never fight for this government. Never. It is illegal and corrupt. My country I would fight for. Unless the borders are invaded count me out. Especially watching democrats and this government in action the last few years. The republicans are little better. It’s all corrupt
@@ChicagoGurl I'm not sure it'd be that quick, however they may still need to send the National Guard. Lol. It would absolutely be a mistake on the enemies part
"Me against my brother; me and my brother against our father; my family against my cousins and the clan; the clan against the tribe; and the tribe against the world. And all of us against the infidel."
I doubt anyone in the US would make reports against out Geneva “suggestion” siblings from the north. And I doubt a foreign invader would easily buzz through northern Mexico without cartel intervening.
If there was a gun behind every blade of grass in the 1940s today there are 100 guns behind every blade of grass. The rednecks would start before the military had a chance to mobilize.
Different time an different Americans , America has become soft an woke, now just a broke paper tiger who allows millions of fighting age males to invade our southern border sadly
The largest military on Earth is the very briefly mentioned "armed and hostile" US citizens. Latest statistics (2023) put the figure at almost 83 million. Many of those are veterans. An invading force would have a very difficult time even if our military were out of the picture.
Well enough of us that it wouldn't be a good decision to try to invade. There are a lot of these punks these days that think we deaserve to fall and hate America even though they are American.
@@damnu8089 the word is "will". And the Army has been here since 1776 in one form or another. Veiled threats are a waste of time. Try them on someone who can be intimidated. I'm not the one.
@@cranberrycobbler Yeah...I have no idea what this dude is talking about. But it's amusing how so many people think it's Republicans/Criminals who have guns.

Somehow despite not being a gun enthusiast, I've got ~20+ and a whole safe of ammo.
Here's another "Fun Fact", there's a combined number of 133 million firearms owned by foreign militaries. There are over 500 Million firearms owned by Civilians in the U.S. with a vast number of those owned by Veterans who've served overseas. Also, we have "Florida Man" & Appalachian Folk.
More than half of those in Amercia could care less about thr Country, and more are being imported every day. It's just a matter of time. Thanks Democrats.
@@andyh8239Lmao i’m literally a Democratic trans woman. I absolutely hate what this country is becoming, but even so I have to recognize that when it comes to warfare, the US does not fuck around. There are so many civilians with powerful firearms that even if someone DID manage to invade, the people who DO give a shit or just don’t want to give up their homes would repel them.
Proud Appalachian here, the sheer amount of firearms in my region alone is mind boggling. Every house on my street has at bare minimum 10 firearms per household and I know every single one of them. We all know the local terrain better than anyone, wilderness and all which would be a massive advantage against an invading force. Not to mention we source and produce most our own food.. no matter where you are self reliance is a priceless skill to possess. Even when there are no disasters, invasions, epidemics, etc it will still greatly benefit you and your family. Stay fit, train, and get involved in your community.
Have you ever read any of the “One Second After” books? Takes place in Black Mountain amongst other places. I’m from Marshall, so its description of total collapse in that area is truly disturbing. But as you say, stay prepared. The Appalachian communities fared better than others.
Asheville here. It's gone to Hell in a hand basket, and spreading it's tentacles into Black Mountain, Hendersonville, and Marshall, with eyes on Haywood & McDowell. As a "sanctuary city" I think Asheville is helping pave the way for sleeper cells to form. Maybe I'm paranoid, but from what I've seen these past few years, maybe not. I moved to Mills River only to discover what's called the Asheville Regional Housing Agreement. It gives Asheville powers to dictate new housing developments in Madison, Henderson, and Transylvania counties. They formed a board with Asheville holding 6 of 12 seats. These more conservative counties have been sold out in order to catch Asheville/Buncombe Co.'s overflow. People flock to Asheville because it is a sanctuary city & county with a sanctuary sheriff, and rolls out the red carpet for homeless junkies - the majority of which are from nowhere near NC. Asheville can't fart without hiring a consultant from San Francisco telling them how. Because San Fran Cisco has done such a fabulous job themselves (sarc). That regional housing agreement is renewable every 3 years, yet regardless of who is voted in, it keeps getting renewed. Asheville wants gov. housing projects dotted all over every rural and suburban area possible to house the 3rd world invaders flooding over our border. I have sympathy for the poor, just not illegal ones and ZERO sympathy for anyone imported that hates America. Enemies foreign and domestic! By the way, I hope you like Sheriff Harwood. He is my cousin. Be well, neighbor.@@inglebear84

I also have a ranch where I have to go armed because of roaming wild boars. I am the one that taught my grandchildren to target shoot. Believe me I am more than ready and able to pick up arms in defense of my country.
No lie the possibility of America’s most violent gangs having an armistice with each other and collectively working to defend their turfs was one of the first things I thought of too lol
@@knee.co.8338 I had the same thought! I said to my mother just the other day, "D'you think the gangs are gonna like their territory being infringed on by foreigners?" We talk about the law-abiding gun owners response to being invaded, but it rarely comes up in conversation that those who own guns illegally might take issue with invasion, as well.
One thing I can assure any country thinking about escalating tensions to a full scale attack. All political division would would immediately heal and one unified hornet nest will be launched. One other thought. Every military action the US has been involved with since WWII has been fault under restrained rules of engagement. The gloves would come off in any direct attack.
@@Gankthewabit1 100%. my siblings and I battled like cats and dogs, especially my younger brother and I. But as soon as anything happened to one it was like it happened to all and everyone rallied together.
I mean, I'm advocating like millions of other Americans that we ban guns. And it's suspecting with Kamala Harris, we shall have our goal achieved by 2030. This is not disarming the United States. This is a progressive agenda to show the world we are willing to disarm ourselves for world peace and racial equity. Wars foment racism. And Americans are slavers too. America has been full of oppressors of the blacks for so long I feel like guns themselves only help perpetuate the stereotypes. Look at Europe, they are completely fine and they do not permit their citizens to arm themselves, that only asks for rampant gun crime! The USA is the most largest gun crime in the entire world! Yes I am a Californian. But I live in New York now. But united? I don't know if you know but plenty of our government are collaborators or friends of Chinese communists, mafia, or shady business deals with foreign countries. But this corruption will be fixed, Kamala told us it will be resolved. Vote blue no matter what. No matter the cost. We will be better people. Transphobia, sexism, and racism will be resolved by 2028. Kamala promised, as did the Democratic Party. We will have peace, and that requires the defeat of the Republicans and Conservatives. Because the United States is invincible, we just need to clean the house of the domestic enemy first. This requires sacrifices on the border policy. We need votes, and we must win. We cannot let the United States become fascist! Already the Nazis infiltrate the schools and the hospitals! Taking no consideration of a person's mental state! The minority, deserve to be heard. We will be united, and by 2028, we will truly be free.
I remember this being told to me by a vet turn cop: “In most countries people retreat or surrender. The shit I’ve seen in here would kill most armies combined. Americans don’t retreat or surrender, I’ve never seen it.” Yeah I don’t care if I have the capabilities to fight them head on, I’m going in very strategically with laser-like precision.
"Americans don’t retreat or surrender, I’ve never seen it." Imagine being a vet and a cop and not knowing what the war in Vietnam is. Wars the US has lost, short list: Vietnam, Drugs, Terrorism, Bay of Pigs, Korea, Russian civil war, Second Samoan war, Powder River, 1812. The list goes on.
@@gandalfthegrape908 Vietnam was an occupation and occupations never work. We lost for the same reason the British lost all their territory. Unless you are prepared to commit an act of genocide not seen since the 1490's, then you will not win an occupation. The war on drugs was not an actual war as much as it was a way to disenfranchise black communities. So, the objectives for that "war" were definitely met. The unforeseen consequences, now, being that we can't stop the money train behind the drugs, and now they're invading all poor rural and inner city communities, with all ethnicities and races involved. Korea wasn't a total loss, merely a stalemate that is technically still at war but, for the most part, active hostilities have stopped. And South Korea has a strong democratic government. The war on terror was an idiotic idea to start with. Terrorism is an idea that is carried out through hostile and violent acts. To wage war on an idea with no clear enemies will forever and always be the biggest blunder the US ever made after 9/11. A blunder that lasted 20+ years. But on the same token, they couldn't wage war against a country when the act was committed by a terror organization. So, it was forever and always going to be an unwinnable war. Waging war on terrorism is like waging war on freedom. It just doesn't work. The objectives shifted once they got there and the entire region was set ablaze, creating avenues for even more violence and terrorism to take hold. America's problem is it's hubris. It thinks it can win anything with enough guns and force. Most of the time it fails. However, none of these wars were fought on American soil. If an invasion occurred here, the enemy would find themselves quickly swarmed, outgunned, out-manned, in hostile terrain sandwiched between mountain ranges that run north/south with no way out. American citizens are hungry for war and our military leaders would waste no time making sure it's populous was well trained, guarded, and equipped with the tools it needs to not just survive, but thrive.
As an American, we tend to wear our problems on our sleeves. It’s a free country in thoughts and feelings, unlike China or Russia. We might have our political differences but that would vanish in instant if we were attacked.
Exactly. Most of the people making these idiotic comments weren’t even alive or were still shitting their pants during 9/11. Most millennials and back seen the shift in real time. I remember the day after, every single house I looked at had an American flag outside, people were making career changes or subbing further education to get the bastards responsible. Imagine if this was actually another sovereign state attacking the American homeland… 9/11 would be dwarfed in response.

The amount of military veterans with the knowledge and ability to join a fight is immense in the USA. They could triple the amount of fighting personnel immediately.
Whats nuts. Look to how many of our military is Native Americans. “…American Indians have proudly worn our nation’s uniform in every one of our conflicts…American Indians per capita - have had the highest percentage of their people in military service, exceeding every American ethnic group.” Ben Nighthorse Campbell Former U.S. Senator, Col
That came in super handy when it came to keeping messages scrambled. Comanche being the language used, nobody else had native Americans. Due to how we now know the intelligence war was going on then this was extremely valuable and often overlooked.
This is so true. Though I consider myself white, my great great grandmother was full Cherokee, spoke no English and lived with my great grandparents until her death. No other ethnic group in the US are as loyal to this country as are native Americans. Had it not been for the Navaho code talkers in WW2, things might not have gone so well. The treatment of native Americans in the beginning of this country was a dark blotch on our history. However, as pioneers moved west intermarriage of native American females with German and English settlers became common. That is where my g.g. granny entered my family. Out of 6 brothers in the family back then, 4 married Cherokee women.
"That we know of" is such an important line for any military analysis video. All this analysis might as well be talking about the US in the 1900s because of how much is classified.
We'd be a pretty tough nut to crack. "Rules of war? What rules of war?" "Geneva Convention? What's that?" "You soldiers were a li'l late to the party! We got this!" Yep, an invasion would be about impossible.
I read a statement from a former Russian cold war analyst a little while back that confirmed that all of their theoretical invasion plans could never get around America's fully-armed citizenry. Even if they could invade and subjugate a small portion of the U.S. with their military, they could never advance and hold previously-held territory for long.
Consider this. A nation of about 320 million people, of which about 100 million are adults owning about 1.2 firearms each. Fighting on our own turf against and enemy that is not familiar with our geography would be suicide. There is also our neighbor to the North, Canada. If an enemy attacks America, they would also have to invade Canada also because while we are two separate countries, Canada and America are like brothers. If you attack one of us, both will strike back.
@@dginia wouldn’t be too difficult for most gun owners to arm their entire neighborhood. We also have a ton of firearms manufacturing in the united states. 🇺🇸 👍🏻
As a American and Army Combat veteran, I can tell u that if it came down to it not only the vets, but also civilians would get involved. Because we may be divided right now, but we are a family and can fight amongst ourselves, but we won't stand anyone else messing with family. That is facts. No-one can match Americans will to fight and win at any cost.
That’s probably why they want to drown out the American heart by flooding it with illegals. Ones that didn’t have to study for their citizenship. Ones that don’t have to pledge allegiance to our country. They just came for the free stuff, or sent by the government of another country.

The number of hunters in the midwest alone is greater than the combined forces of all of the US military. If America's armed civilians were to be mustered for battle in case of emergency, no enemy would have a prayer.
Not to mention that Missouri has the second highest archer rate (I love using the classic bow and arrow)! If anyone unwelcome walked into my school at the wrong time (namely archery practice), let’s just say that the placement of the targets would change in a not so good way for them.😊

Our military is treated better than other military. Because of this we perform better and we don't back down as easily. Our equipment is up to date. Other countries that have cheaper equipment and are treated worse have less incentive to fight. We fight because we believe what we're fighting for is freedom. Other people can't say the same.
At 17:33 you were worried about Chinese and Russian ability to take out US satellites, do keep in mind that SpaceX has launched 100 rockets each with up to 60 satellites each just in 2023, that is not counting the USAF/USSF, NASA and a dozen other private rocket launch companies. The USA could replace lost Sats very quickly.
and as I said above. 98% of data is still transmitted through cable stretched across the ocean. To isolate our internet we could sever those cables if needed. It would prevent cyber attacks from outside our country.
After China took out it's satellite to show off the US took out five of their obsolete satellites, five different ways using different systems. The US has aircraft launched missiles that can take out satellites.
Back in 1928, someone in the US gov't asked, "How long would it take to transport a battallion from New York to California?" so the Secretary of War ordered a battalion to mobilize and go across the country, just to see. It took months because they kept getting stuck in the mud on the mostly dirt roads in rural areas. They had to get local farmers with their mules and horses to help the Army's mules and horses to pull trucks out. Sometimes it took a whole day to go half a mile. So they decided the US needed a highway system. Now the highway system helps move commercial traffic and recreational traffic as well as day to day traffic, which helped boost the US economy across the board. Where I live, half the kids are on a skeet shooting team. If anyone was to be stupid enough to go Red Dawn with paratroopers, the shotgun coaches would be like, "Pull!" :) The average US citizen is a better shot than the average trained soldier or cop because they shoot for fun instead of shooting because their job requires it and they're paying for their own ammo so they make the shots count.
I believe that mission was actually given to then Lt. Col. Dwight Eisenhower. After seeing the autobahns in Germany when the war ended, he pressed for the USA to have such a system. It was during the Eisenhower administration that the US Interstate Act was signed and started.
"The average US citizen is a better shot than the average trained soldier or cop because they shoot for fun instead of shooting because their job requires it and they're paying for their own ammo so they make the shots count." You are grossly over estimating their abilities. I was in the Marines for 8 years, I assure you the average Marine will out shoot the average American every day of the week. Shooting clay targets with shotguns is a great starting point. But hitting targets at 300 and 500 yards with iron sites is a completely different level of skill. Then you are forgetting the millions of Americans who live in cities and never hunt or shoot at all. That really drags down the average skill level.
That may've been true in 1928, but not even a blip today. There is a battalion of military age troops crossing the US-Mexico border daily, all with the blessing of our "leaders" in gov't. Also, they are being fed, housed, educated at the expense of the American citizen. Too, they are being offered a chance for free military training and honorary citizenship if they join the military-- without any declaration of loyalty to the Constitution, the Flag, our laws or moral codes. How long would it take today? They're already here, waiting the signal to "go".

I'm from Idaho, and during WWII, one massive pit mine in the Idaho wilderness, produced 96% of all the antimony for the USA during the war. It is assumed that we wouldn't have won the pacific front without that mine and probably would have been useless in Europe. So, needless to say, if we did NEED antimony for war again, there are hidden deposits of antimony in the wilderness that the US government is well aware of even if the rest of the world isn't. Great video
Y’all have no idea what you’re talking about. If there was antimony to be mined, we would have been mining it perpetually for decades. We don’t mine it for a reason, and it ain’t because it’s cheaper to buy it.
Upon graduating from West Point in 1915, one of Eisenhower's assignments following WWI was serving as part of the Transcontinental Motor Convoy across America.

After becoming President, The National System of Interstate and Defense Highways was begun.

That pipeline was not shut down by cyber attacks for 5 days. The cyber attack did shut down the pipeline but they recovered from the attack within a few hours. The pipeline was left shut down on purpose as they fixed the vulnerability to make sure that it couldn't be shut down the same way. Reserve fuel was used to make up for the loss of the pipeline and there was no disruption in supply. The reason why stores were running out of fuel is because of panic buying.

Yeah, people forget about what happened to the Donner party. Just because I'm from California doesn't mean I don't have a shit load of guns, and I've been up-and-down Sierra Nevada's My entire life, from the farthest South to the farthest North. People always sleep on California, but they forget, "we are legion."
On top of that, we literally have such a diversity of area in Washington state. We have the coasts, rainforests, deserts, etc. tons of deep nasty places and terrain that would be a logistical nightmare and thats just 1 state! We have multiple military installations across the state! While our government has gone very liberal/anti gun, a lot of us are still very well armed and we practice for hunting and compete in shooting comps.
In 2005 I went camping in New Mexico in the desert. I woke up one morning and was getting ready to go into town to get supplies when i suddenly heard a helicopter. The sky was blue and cloudless but the copter came and hovered directly over my truck (my dog went crazy). But you could not see any helicopter at all! I panicked for a few seconds until I remembered reading about the military experimenting with cloaking technology. Slowly, this “invisible” helicopter flew off in another direction-but you could still only see clear blue skies. That weekend I returned to Houston & on the front page of the Houston Chronicle was an article that Sunday about the use of military cloaking devices (front page article). This brief encounter made me more proud than ever before to be a part of this great country! ❤
The biggest lithium deposit in the world was recently found in Nevada. It's called the Thacker Pass mine. Operations haven't started yet, but should start within 1-2 years. There's another deposit at McDermitt Caldera. The lithium dynamic will change very soon.
What you may not have thought about is the amount of veterans, like myself, that has trained in the different areas of america and remember that like the back of my hand. We know our land very well.
There are roughly 15 million fighting age veterans who spent the last 20+ years fighting and learning non conventional warfare, even without our active military any invader would pay 10 fold in blood.
Fun Fact: the United States highway system is based off of the German autobahn (while heavily improved) it was built for both civilian and military in mind (which is why airliners are able to land on them if absolutely necessary)
It being designed with airplane landings in mind is one of the biggest old-wives tales on the planet. Even the US Department of Transportation denies it. It was a well designed system meant to stimulate the economy, but there has never been any evidence it was designed as a massive emergency landing system (though it has been done.)
to add to your comment, when Eisenhower became President, he had been so impressed with the autobahn that is why he placed the laws in order for the U.S. to start building the interstates
Dont forget about rail traffic. I'm glad they mentioned this. That system actually is monitored and would be difficult to "take over." The U.S. government has contingencies, believe it. The great lakes and numerous river systems are also great physical barriers that can be utilized for defensive purposes
The armed civilian population would thwart any invading party. I’ve seen videos of wild boar hunters riding around fields with machine guns and nvgs, just imagine the joy they, as well as every other gun owner in the US, would have if told they had to defend their nation no questions asked
And, in the south, where about every other adult male is a hunter and owns a scoped deer rifle, or just likes to shoot, an invading army would get sniped to death.
You really think hunters with nvg who shoot unsuspecting, unintelligent and unarmed animals are going to go Seal team 6 aye? You sure about that? When someone feels they can fight or are strong they usually stop training. People are weak and getting weaker on home soil it's the truth
One problem with the original video: Russia & China each shot down decommissioned satellites only in the past 2 years; they both did it rather sloppily, too. The U.S. did it cleanly from a ship way back in 2007 (and with an F-15 in the 1980’s).
We also did it with a navy missile cruiser too.USS Lake Erie, in 2008 with an SM-3 missile. Our missile cruiser can shoot down nuclear missiles. Which is why we keep some in Japan to protect them from North Korea.
Yeah! Shot down lots of drones too in the Red Sea. Drones $1600 each - shot down by missiles cost 2 million each! And you have thousands of homeless people in the US!
Appalachians are always ready for a wild time. There's a huge number of veterans there, most of everyone learns how to shoot as a kid. Most grew up fighting and some boys in those hills are walking genetic nightmares. The civilians have a lot of heart and no give up. Some of those boys are flat out crazy. Texas are very well known to have a lot of the same characteristics. People in the South are also ready for a good fight too. You would just hear Lynard Skynard before being unmade. There's more registered weapons in Alabama alone than in most countries. Registered weapons... Places like Northern California are a bunch of country like boys too. All I can say is good luck placing boots on the ground. Americans are always ready. That's outside of our very well trained military. We ALL are one if stuff was to happen and ready to go. The military, the people, we all would work as one. I can promise you that. The Canadians, our brothers would be with us too.
I consider myself an average American, when it comes to firearms and shooting. I am a part time range safety officer for one shooting club. Despite it being in a liberal era (Southern California) the turnout on the weekends to practice shooting is incredible. And we are all paying for our own ammo, and dealing with all sorts of obstacles to procuring ammo. I don’t think I’m over the top on firearms, either. I have one shotgun, and 6 rifles, and 10 handguns. Again, I think I’m fairly average in that count. I also reload my ammo, and even cast my own bullets. Working at a range, I have unlimited access to used brass. I’m also a a veteran of being an officer in the US Army and the US Air Force. So, lots of free training there. It’s the hearts and minds that need to be watched over, because the ‘invasion’ would have to come from within. Bring plenty of body bags.
I have my doubts about that. Hope you’re right though. There’s a lot of so called Americans that would love for this country to be conquered. Obama being one of them.
no we won't. People would devolve into tribes. The difference between us and Israel is at least Israel is somewhat united under a popular religion. Here we got communists, socialists, anarchists, and everything under the sun. Christianity supposedly is the dominant religion here but it is not. The USA still desperately holds onto that smoke dream. Get your head out of your ass next time.
The mineral/metal situation is a a really weird thing. While you can truthfully say we don't have the mines it's mostly due to them being closed down for economic and environmental reasons. But they could exist again if some kind of long term emergency popped up. Other rare earths we are constantly finding potential deposits for but except for a hypothetical emergency will never be exploited until the economics of the mining process becomes practical.
To add about his comment on lithium, I remember seeing a post about the state of Arkansas just approved the opening of lithium mines. I think it’s being planned by ExxonMobil. So we have most of the resources we need, it’s just gaining access to it that has been an issue.
Oh yeah, why do you think some military bases in the southwest may look really small, building-wise, but its square acreage is MASSIVE? We're sitting on minerals that we don't need yet. @@TheZenyaNova
D o you realize how many people that are armed in the United States almost every household has firearms I myself have military grade firearm plus ammo and kit to fight .... it wouldn't happen, and if it did the invading army wouldn't last long....😢
And I suspect that Canada probably has what we need, and in wartime could do the same. Because if anyone went for the US, Canada knows they're next if they're not attacked at the same time.
We've also been invaded at our southern border this past week or two. Most of this 'invasion' was noted to be men of fighting age. The army is already here. The war looks different.
@@Starday723y I'm temp disabled, so I'm not out and about to see any influx..

Our own government is spearheading the effort to destroy us. They have put us in tremendous debt, which has caused inflation to skyrocket. High inflation causes high intrest rates.This exact senario negativly and disproportionately effects the lower and middle class citizens. Wages have NOT increased proportionately with inflation for the last 50 years, meaning that if you are lucky enough to get some kind of cost of living "raise" every year you are likely just taking less of a pay cut than someone who doesn't. America is, and has been since WW2 all about the political and upper class using deceptive financial schemes, and fraudlent taxation laws to trick and enslave the constantly shrinking middle class. The middle class has to provide for everyone else in this country, and all the money America spends abroad. Now it has reached the point where the well is almost empty and there isn't much left to take. The Government's plan? I guess its to keep spending money we don't have putting even more stress on the poor and middle class while using the corrupted main stream media to blame Donald Trump for everything. Our own government has allready invaded, robbed, raided, ruined, and conquered this country. All with financial schemes, greed, oppressive regulations, and corruption.

I served in the US Navy, but these days, I'm not patriotic at all, and I've lost a lot of pride in this country... but when you brought up the will to fight, chills, mate. We sure as shit don't get alongmuch anymore, but nobody will fuck with my people.
It's not the country it's the slimy politicians who are sowing conflicts in the citizenry in order to keep us distracted with fighting each other so they can divide and conquer. It amazes me how such seemingly strong people are so ready to be labeled victims and can fall for such obvious bullshit. The US is not systemically racist, but I see people getting awfully sick and tired of being told they are and also of the blatant racism being perpetuated against them. GOD BLESS AMERICA 🇺🇸
This is another thing the people who aren’t “patriotic” but when something from another country try’s something or says something the less patriotic person is about to fight that person who said it
We the People love our veterans. I see citzens picking up the tabs out in public for our fighting men (and women). We donate to causes that benefit vets and advocate for better policies, too. The majority of the country still honors and respects you all so don't forget it. Thank you for your service. ❤ 🇺🇲
As an American I’d like to also add a bit on the gun culture here. Not only is it common to have guns. It is common to have multiple guns sometimes on you all the time like a rifle in the truck and a pistol on your hip. The amount of people that are heavily armed at all times is exponential.
What he's not going to mention is the roughly 74 million man armed militia which includes veterans who just spent the last 20 years learning first hand how an insurgency works who have no rules of engagement when a foreign military steps foot on their land. And to whom the Geneva Convention is a piece of paper and war crimes listed on said piece of paper only counts if they lose and they don't intend to lose. On top of that we have our northern brothers the Canadians who are also armed and have no rules of engagement . Hint for anyone thinking of Invading a significant portion of the first Geneva Convention is a list of shit the Canadians did during WW1. Canadians have two mode . 1. Very nice and polite . The other is successful War Criminals. And to the South we have Mexico. Good luck convincing the Mexicans to letting any military walk through their country to invade their most important trading partner. Even the Cartels will screw up anyone thinking of invading America because that is cutting in on their business. And it's well established that the Cartels don't really care if what they do to an enemy force is a war crime or not. So Invasion of the USA is a great example of a bad ideal.
Former active US Marine here. Spot on. We have military, former military, hunters, gangs, and regular folks armed just for defense. The amount of troops it would take to go into even small cities would be staggering. Each citizen armed, backing first police in a area would take out a large number, then reserves would be activated asap. Active deployed quickly with reserves right behind. On a 10 to 1 each armed dropping multiples then capturing larger arms. Aggressors would drop quickly. In any fight the losses have to be sustainable. Ukraine is showing how determined people can repel a larger forces.
I don't think we couldn't be defeated or taken over but, what that would take would be a massive force. No one is invincible. It would take a grouping of many of our largest adversaries and our allies to sit idle.
@@eas-eautocom4871 not really. imagine your military magically disappears today. all of it. including personnel, installations, weapons, equipment, vehicles. everything. and nobody intervenes. it's just your civilian-grade toys against russia. it would take russia some years to take the entire land. but only because it's such a vast territory, and tanks have a finite movement speed.
Millions of veterans armed, trained already on top of all the other mentioned backing up military, police, etc. There's no Harry Potter wand going to make a military disappear but, all mentioned when attacked will appear.

This is exactly what the democrats want. This is the only way to cause harm on us. We have no idea who’s coming across the border. More democrats for sure.
Have you noticed that much of our southern border is infested with millions of well-armed Texans. No organized force would safely get through that mess.
@@freddygray8058 the Mexican drug cartels are very organized. Seem to be getting people through just fine by the 100 thousands. The Texas government is more corrupt than the cartels.
As far as us not bonding and hating government and all that, the fact is regardless of if that's the case or not, we have still always showed our resolve to put differences aside and come together in times of chaos and tragedy.
Exactly we are known to race to fight during war time. Even with all the stuff going on we have the biggest population of citizens that are ready to defend and fight in a scenario like this.
The biggest thing to remember about the political troubles in the U.S is the people are stronger than the government. So regardless we are going to work it out one way or another. The government might fall but the people wont
As an American, we are being invaded right now, but the difference between other countries is that civilians have the opportunity to be are armed 24/7, and a lot of us have military experience or train with our firearms often. The division that politicians push on the public would disappear in a instant.
With a wide open southern border, weak incompetent people currently "running" the country, the deliberate weakening of our military, and the crime and corruption at ALL top levels, I believe that our enemies have been "prepping the objective" and are almost prepared for their attack. There are potentially tens of thousands of sleeper cells around the country already thanks to the open southern border. The patriots that are prepared to fight throughout the communities of the country will have a hard time (not impossible time) with fighting a front from every direction. Any politician (from POTUS down), and any appointee that has not secured the border should be pay for these crimes if there is a single sleeper cell that gets activated!
100% on point analysis Redwing. What makes it more chilling is many don't see or recognize what is happening through the flood of invasive propaganda. A hard time is our best case scenario.
The supposed world's largest lithium deposit was discovered in northwestern Nevada earlier this year in the McDermitt Caldera. There's a bit of controversy around mining it because like oil you mentioned it sits in tribal lands.
There is a place called Eagle Mountain, that had gold mines in the 1800s. Once the supply depleted, the mines closed, however, rare earth minerals have recently been discovered there. It is 75 miles southwest of Las Vegas, NV.
We are currently being invaded via the southern border. No shots fired. A overwhelming number of these individuals are of military age from a variety of nations. Possibly sleepers, I’m a Texan and a veteran. Residing near the upper Texas coast, always prepared for tropical storms.
Also, the U.S. is the only nation, currently, with the heavy sealift, and, airlift capability required to launch, and, maintain a full-scale invasion of any nation. All our near-peer enemies are not capable of the kind of power projection needed. China has spent the better part of the last 50 years concentrating on Taiwan. You can pretty much cross the Taiwan Strait in RHIBs. The Russians have always been more concerned with the percieved enemies on their borders. In fact, the actual role of the Cold War era Russian Navy was largely sacrificial. They were intended for all those years to die slowing down the stream of personnel, and, supplies that would be sent to Europe in the event of a Warsaw Pact invasion. They knew they would never be able to stop it, just hopefully slow it down long enough that their land forces could consolidate any gains, and, dig in.
The wolfpack tactics used by Nazi Germany. Successful at first but when the U-boats started to lose their advantage, the merchant shipping became unstoppable.
Russians dissolved the Warsaw Pact after WW2 in an agreement with the USA to dissolve NATO. Surprise - USA lied! Ukraine is at war because they asked NATO in - original agreement was to not surround Russia with NATO -but is ignored by the USA,again!
Another interesting aspect of the American interstate highway system is that straight stretches are built every few miles to act as runways for air support.
Also important to note that unlike China, US troops are battle tested in general. We (unfortunately) keep getting into conflicts across the globe on a fairly regular basis. The vast majority of China's military is untested in actual fighting. They do plenty of drills though, and the fish around Taiwan are terrified of their missile strikes.
@@randallanthony1794Yes they absolutely do. US troops have been battle tested since the inception of the country. Every single generation of Americans has went to war. Communist China has only been involved in one military conflict since the CCP took over and they got absolutely stomped in the conflict. A new report just came out this week that found that most of Chinas nuclear ICBM’s fuel tanks are full of water instead of fuel because the fuel was stolen and sold by Chinese officers a decade ago. The Chinese military is a paper dragon.
When did they last have an all out outright military conflict that went on for years or even months? America's military hasn't gone longer than 10-20 years without major conflict situations since WWII. America's military has been regularly warring for longer than communism has had a hold on China. I'm not saying China is a slouch, but many people don't grasp how much of a detriment communism and conscription are to having an effective military. So far for the last century, America has had the most effective military in the world. Part of that, is that it is all volunteers. People who WANT to be doing what they're doing. @@dillerandzach
We are the reason for everybody's global trade. We stop policing the water. How long till pirates (other Navy's stealing) become a thing. Not to long ago a country's military or private security guards had to tag along with cargo ships.
Yeah I am American even tho we may have a huge military and an armed hostile citizenry. I still will never be comfortable or complacent. One of the main factors of the U.S. military and government is the belief that The second you think you are untouchable that’s when you are most likely to be defeated or struck. So always keep going and never stop to rest of allow yourself to feel like you are untouchable because no one is ever untouchable. GOD Bless
As an American I can confirm that if our military somehow fell, we the civilians have quite the itchy trigger finger for a foreign invader if it ever comes to it!
Unfortunately our current government is allowing an invasion as we speak, with 26 thousand Chinese invaders a month along with thousands more from other hostile countries.

Asheville here. It's gone to Hell in a hand basket, and spreading it's tentacles into Black Mountain, Hendersonville, and Marshall, with eyes on Haywood & McDowell. As a "sanctuary city" I think Asheville is helping pave the way for sleeper cells to form. Maybe I'm paranoid, but from what I've seen these past few years, maybe not. I moved to Mills River only to discover what's called the Asheville Regional Housing Agreement. It gives Asheville powers to dictate new housing developments in Madison, Henderson, and Transylvania counties. They formed a board with Asheville holding 6 of 12 seats. These more conservative counties have been sold out in order to catch Asheville/Buncombe Co.'s overflow. People flock to Asheville because it is a sanctuary city & county with a sanctuary sheriff, and rolls out the red carpet for homeless junkies - the majority of which are from nowhere near NC. Asheville can't fart without hiring a consultant from San Francisco telling them how. Because San Fran Cisco has done such a fabulous job themselves (sarc). That regional housing agreement is renewable every 3 years, yet regardless of who is voted in, it keeps getting renewed. Asheville wants gov. housing projects dotted all over every rural and suburban area possible to house the 3rd world invaders flooding over our border. I have sympathy for the poor, just not illegal ones and ZERO sympathy for anyone imported that hates America. Enemies foreign and domestic! By the way, I hope you like Sheriff Harwood.

78 y/o Texas woman here. I am not a veteran but my Dad, my husband, my nephew, my cousins and others in my family are veterans. I also have a ranch where I have to go armed because of roaming wild boars. I am the one that taught my grandchildren to target shoot. Believe me I am more than ready and able to pick up arms in defense of my country.
Yes Ma'am!
You go granny!
I can only imagine Crips and Bloods calling a truce and turning picking off enemy troops into a game
That’s what I bet will happen here in Chicago. The big street gangs are gonna tie flags to get these illegals gone.
No lie the possibility of America’s most violent gangs having an armistice with each other and collectively working to defend their turfs was one of the first things I thought of too lol
@@knee.co.8338 I had the same thought! I said to my mother just the other day, "D'you think the gangs are gonna like their territory being infringed on by foreigners?" We talk about the law-abiding gun owners response to being invaded, but it rarely comes up in conversation that those who own guns illegally might take issue with invasion, as well.
@@bandgeekforlife406 and they are gonna be the ones that are far more likely to go after them too because they dont give a fuck
They are not coming after gang banging black people. They are coming for the white people. The elite rulers are all white . So y would we care ?
One thing I can assure any country thinking about escalating tensions to a full scale attack. All political division would would immediately heal and one unified hornet nest will be launched.
One other thought. Every military action the US has been involved with since WWII has been fault under restrained rules of engagement. The gloves would come off in any direct attack.
Plus there would be no concerns about the opinions of “Allies”.
fun fact the leaders of the biggest gangs in the us had already came out and said they would squash all beef and help defend. bloods and crips!
Absolutely like any family, there is often infighting, but any outside threat would be faced by a unified force.

Facts brother. Americans are fighters and obstinacy is our national heritage. It would unite us like nothing ever before.
Well, I'd probably be willing to give up California...
I mean, I'm advocating like millions of other Americans that we ban guns. And it's suspecting with Kamala Harris, we shall have our goal achieved by 2030. This is not disarming the United States.
This is a progressive agenda to show the world we are willing to disarm ourselves for world peace and racial equity. Wars foment racism. And Americans are slavers too. America has been full of oppressors of the blacks for so long I feel like guns themselves only help perpetuate the stereotypes. Look at Europe, they are completely fine and they do not permit their citizens to arm themselves, that only asks for rampant gun crime! The USA is the most largest gun crime in the entire world!
Yes I am a Californian. But I live in New York now. But united? I don't know if you know but plenty of our government are collaborators or friends of Chinese communists, mafia, or shady business deals with foreign countries. But this corruption will be fixed, Kamala told us it will be resolved.
Vote blue no matter what. No matter the cost. We will be better people. Transphobia, sexism, and racism will be resolved by 2028. Kamala promised, as did the Democratic Party. We will have peace, and that requires the defeat of the Republicans and Conservatives. Because the United States is invincible, we just need to clean the house of the domestic enemy first. This requires sacrifices on the border policy. We need votes, and we must win. We cannot let the United States become fascist! Already the Nazis infiltrate the schools and the hospitals! Taking no consideration of a person's mental state! The minority, deserve to be heard.
We will be united, and by 2028, we will truly be free.
I remember this being told to me by a vet turn cop: “In most countries people retreat or surrender. The shit I’ve seen in here would kill most armies combined. Americans don’t retreat or surrender, I’ve never seen it.” Yeah I don’t care if I have the capabilities to fight them head on, I’m going in very strategically with laser-like precision.
"Americans don’t retreat or surrender, I’ve never seen it." Imagine being a vet and a cop and not knowing what the war in Vietnam is. Wars the US has lost, short list: Vietnam, Drugs, Terrorism, Bay of Pigs, Korea, Russian civil war, Second Samoan war, Powder River, 1812. The list goes on.
@@gandalfthegrape908 For context he was referring to the American citizenry when he was pursuing criminals in a gunfight.
@@gandalfthegrape908
Vietnam was an occupation and occupations never work. We lost for the same reason the British lost all their territory. Unless you are prepared to commit an act of genocide not seen since the 1490's, then you will not win an occupation.
The war on drugs was not an actual war as much as it was a way to disenfranchise black communities. So, the objectives for that "war" were definitely met. The unforeseen consequences, now, being that we can't stop the money train behind the drugs, and now they're invading all poor rural and inner city communities, with all ethnicities and races involved.
Korea wasn't a total loss, merely a stalemate that is technically still at war but, for the most part, active hostilities have stopped. And South Korea has a strong democratic government.
The war on terror was an idiotic idea to start with. Terrorism is an idea that is carried out through hostile and violent acts. To wage war on an idea with no clear enemies will forever and always be the biggest blunder the US ever made after 9/11. A blunder that lasted 20+ years. But on the same token, they couldn't wage war against a country when the act was committed by a terror organization. So, it was forever and always going to be an unwinnable war. Waging war on terrorism is like waging war on freedom. It just doesn't work. The objectives shifted once they got there and the entire region was set ablaze, creating avenues for even more violence and terrorism to take hold.
America's problem is it's hubris. It thinks it can win anything with enough guns and force. Most of the time it fails.
However, none of these wars were fought on American soil. If an invasion occurred here, the enemy would find themselves quickly swarmed, outgunned, out-manned, in hostile terrain sandwiched between mountain ranges that run north/south with no way out. American citizens are hungry for war and our military leaders would waste no time making sure it's populous was well trained, guarded, and equipped with the tools it needs to not just survive, but thrive.
As an American, we tend to wear our problems on our sleeves. It’s a free country in thoughts and feelings, unlike China or Russia. We might have our political differences but that would vanish in instant if we were attacked.
Exactly. Most of the people making these idiotic comments weren’t even alive or were still shitting their pants during 9/11. Most millennials and back seen the shift in real time. I remember the day after, every single house I looked at had an American flag outside, people were making career changes or subbing further education to get the bastards responsible. Imagine if this was actually another sovereign state attacking the American homeland… 9/11 would be dwarfed in response.

Due to how we now know the intelligence war was going on then this was extremely valuable and often overlooked.
@@guyincognito1406a good reason to make sure these languages survive.
This is so true. Though I consider myself white, my great great grandmother was full Cherokee, spoke no English and lived with my great grandparents until her death. No other ethnic group in the US are as loyal to this country as are native Americans. Had it not been for the Navaho code talkers in WW2, things might not have gone so well. The treatment of native Americans in the beginning of this country was a dark blotch on our history. However, as pioneers moved west intermarriage of native American females with German and English settlers became common. That is where my g.g. granny entered my family. Out of 6 brothers in the family back then, 4 married Cherokee women.

Yep, an invasion would be about impossible.
Gov. already been highjacked without an invasion! Open your eyes!
I read a statement from a former Russian cold war analyst a little while back that confirmed that all of their theoretical invasion plans could never get around America's fully-armed citizenry. Even if they could invade and subjugate a small portion of the U.S. with their military, they could never advance and hold previously-held territory for long.
I don't discount geography and the lack of achievable supply lines, but yeah -- our people would make a sport of any invader.
Consider this. A nation of about 320 million people, of which about 100 million are adults owning about 1.2 firearms each. Fighting on our own turf against and enemy that is not familiar with our geography would be suicide. There is also our neighbor to the North, Canada. If an enemy attacks America, they would also have to invade Canada also because while we are two separate countries, Canada and America are like brothers. If you attack one of us, both will strike back.
100 adults??? i just looked it up its 258 million. Lets say 175-200 fight capable

No-one can match Americans will to fight and win at any cost.
That’s probably why they want to drown out the American heart by flooding it with illegals. Ones that didn’t have to study for their citizenship. Ones that don’t have to pledge allegiance to our country. They just came for the free stuff, or sent by the government of another country.
"Fall from within"? Nothing would unite Americans so fast as a common, foreign, invading enemy.

Don’t forget we conceal carry because of the gangs
The number of hunters in the midwest alone is greater than the combined forces of all of the US military. If America's armed civilians were to be mustered for battle in case of emergency, no enemy would have a prayer.
Not to mention that Missouri has the second highest archer rate (I love using the classic bow and arrow)! If anyone unwelcome walked into my school at the wrong time (namely archery practice), let’s just say that the placement of the targets would change in a not so good way for them.😊

The USA could replace lost Sats very quickly.
Very true
And we can shoot down satellites if we want. We did it once to prove a point, we'll definitely do it again, but it won't be our satellite this time

After China took out it's satellite to show off the US took out five of their obsolete satellites, five different ways using different systems. The US has aircraft launched missiles that can take out satellites.
Back in 1928, someone in the US gov't asked, "How long would it take to transport a battallion from New York to California?" so the Secretary of War ordered a battalion to mobilize and go across the country, just to see. It took months because they kept getting stuck in the mud on the mostly dirt roads in rural areas. They had to get local farmers with their mules and horses to help the Army's mules and horses to pull trucks out. Sometimes it took a whole day to go half a mile. So they decided the US needed a highway system. Now the highway system helps move commercial traffic and recreational traffic as well as day to day traffic, which helped boost the US economy across the board.
Where I live, half the kids are on a skeet shooting team. If anyone was to be stupid enough to go Red Dawn with paratroopers, the shotgun coaches would be like, "Pull!" :) The average US citizen is a better shot than the average trained soldier or cop because they shoot for fun instead of shooting because their job requires it and they're paying for their own ammo so they make the shots count.
I believe that mission was actually given to then Lt. Col. Dwight Eisenhower. After seeing the autobahns in Germany when the war ended, he pressed for the USA to have such a system. It was during the Eisenhower administration that the US Interstate Act was signed and started.
"The average US citizen is a better shot than the average trained soldier or cop because they shoot for fun instead of shooting because their job requires it and they're paying for their own ammo so they make the shots count." You are grossly over estimating their abilities. I was in the Marines for 8 years, I assure you the average Marine will out shoot the average American every day of the week. Shooting clay targets with shotguns is a great starting point. But hitting targets at 300 and 500 yards with iron sites is a completely different level of skill. Then you are forgetting the millions of Americans who live in cities and never hunt or shoot at all. That really drags down the average skill level.
I'd like to know the numbers as well. People in cities rarely shoot past 100m at most@@gillo79

Too, they are being offered a chance for free military training and honorary citizenship if they join the military-- without any declaration of loyalty to the Constitution, the Flag, our laws or moral codes.

As an American, as young as 6 years old I remember having “where would I post with my rifle if my neighborhood was invaded” thoughts
riding in the back seat, figuring best line-of-sight to ... whatever ...
My 13 year old kids dig fox holes in our mountain for fun.
That's insane! As a kid I just wanted to run around and have fun? Who tf raised you
@@pudermcgavin4462interesting… Where did you grow up? Asking for a [potential invader] friend 😂
We have 22 million combat veterans and 39 million hunters. Plus, gun lovers. Oh, even the gangs would turn on an invader
The highway was also designed with the requirement to use a % of the roads as fully functional runways.
and he never mentioned our military underground highways and buildings.
Ike wasn't dumb, was he?
@@davismicfog1590YOU just did.
We are learning from Ukraine and Russia. And even Pear Harbor. You need to spread out your foces to make them less vulnerable to a concentrated coordinated strike! Our energy grid is very vulnerable and we have done nothing to maintain it met alone harden it.
The US civilian population is actually being undervalued in this video. A significant percentage of them are former soldiers that have seen actual combat in war. But now they are civilians with no rules of engagement...
Yeah, this cannot be overstated enough. Guerilla warfare has stopped the US military in every war since WWII. Flip the script, and with the sheer access to firearms that we have...
Amen.
No rules of engagement its not a war crime the first time lol 😅
@@ChrisHorse-c8e Exactly! :D

1) A Draft Won’t Be Necessary.
2) We'd have it taken care of before the UK or any other Allie overseas got here.
You are correct, sir.
NATO is more of a protection for the European members than it is for the US since they can call on the vastly superior might of the US military. But it is nice knowing that it gives a little help to the US.
@@Gotenhanku most of NATOs funding is from the US kinda funny when u think about it.
That pipeline was not shut down by cyber attacks for 5 days. The cyber attack did shut down the pipeline but they recovered from the attack within a few hours. The pipeline was left shut down on purpose as they fixed the vulnerability to make sure that it couldn't be shut down the same way. Reserve fuel was used to make up for the loss of the pipeline and there was no disruption in supply. The reason why stores were running out of fuel is because of panic buying.
Bunch of ppl think we still buy oil and don't realize we are completely self sufficient and energy independent
I had to drive from Carolina beach to saintlouis the day after it shut down. It created a panic and let me tell you I got home on a prayer. I was coming back after my grandfathers funeral and knew nothing of what was happening. When I was getting gas i was pumping damn near bottom of the tanks and said fuck this I’ll get fuel later……. The maps came out brother. Where the best highways less effected as well as calling people in different states etc. 3/4 tank of gas and 1k miles in between. That was a fucking adventure man
The video failed to mention the Sierra Nevada and Cascade mtn ranges which are more formidable than the Rockies and east coast mtn ranges. Very few passes, creating natural choke points
No doubt! In Washington state you only have 3 options for getting over the Cascades. The only real hole in the range is the Columbia River Gorge.
Yeah ask the Donner Party.
Yeah, people forget about what happened to the Donner party. Just because I'm from California doesn't mean I don't have a shit load of guns, and I've been up-and-down Sierra Nevada's My entire life, from the farthest South to the farthest North. People always sleep on California, but they forget, "we are legion."
On top of that, we literally have such a diversity of area in Washington state. We have the coasts, rainforests, deserts, etc. tons of deep nasty places and terrain that would be a logistical nightmare and thats just 1 state! We have multiple military installations across the state! While our government has gone very liberal/anti gun, a lot of us are still very well armed and we practice for hunting and compete in shooting comps.
They may be rough mountains, but not the same or even close in the caliber of the fighters they spawn.
In 2005 I went camping in New Mexico in the desert. I woke up one morning and was getting ready to go into town to get supplies when i suddenly heard a helicopter. The sky was blue and cloudless but the copter came and hovered directly over my truck (my dog went crazy). But you could not see any helicopter at all! I panicked for a few seconds until I remembered reading about the military experimenting with cloaking technology. Slowly, this “invisible” helicopter flew off in another direction-but you could still only see clear blue skies. That weekend I returned to Houston & on the front page of the Houston Chronicle was an article that Sunday about the use of military cloaking devices (front page article). This brief encounter made me more proud than ever before to be a part of this great country! ❤
Awesome!!!
If that’s true and was in 2005 then 19 years later we will be alright
The biggest lithium deposit in the world was recently found in Nevada. It's called the Thacker Pass mine. Operations haven't started yet, but should start within 1-2 years. There's another deposit at McDermitt Caldera. The lithium dynamic will change very soon.
"LAC",grab it while it's cheap
What you may not have thought about is the amount of veterans, like myself, that has trained in the different areas of america and remember that like the back of my hand. We know our land very well.
I think we have about 18 million former military in the U. S. That's a force to be reckoned with.
There are roughly 15 million fighting age veterans who spent the last 20+ years fighting and learning non conventional warfare, even without our active military any invader would pay 10 fold in blood.
Fun Fact: the United States highway system is based off of the German autobahn (while heavily improved) it was built for both civilian and military in mind (which is why airliners are able to land on them if absolutely necessary)
It being designed with airplane landings in mind is one of the biggest old-wives tales on the planet. Even the US Department of Transportation denies it. It was a well designed system meant to stimulate the economy, but there has never been any evidence it was designed as a massive emergency landing system (though it has been done.)
With speed limits
You’re correct…. Many years ago an airplane ( small) landed on a highway in NY.
to add to your comment, when Eisenhower became President, he had been so impressed with the autobahn that is why he placed the laws in order for the U.S. to start building the interstates
And us railway is fuccked up,if they need them for war,it will bot going to help
Dont forget about rail traffic. I'm glad they mentioned this. That system actually is monitored and would be difficult to "take over." The U.S. government has contingencies, believe it. The great lakes and numerous river systems are also great physical barriers that can be utilized for defensive purposes
The armed civilian population would thwart any invading party. I’ve seen videos of wild boar hunters riding around fields with machine guns and nvgs, just imagine the joy they, as well as every other gun owner in the US, would have if told they had to defend their nation no questions asked
And, in the south, where about every other adult male is a hunter and owns a scoped deer rifle, or just likes to shoot, an invading army would get sniped to death.
Smoke some BBQ
I've seen those vids of them boar hunters in Europe. MSN you dudes got some BIG pigs yonder
All armies have snipers too!@@ralphholiman7401
You really think hunters with nvg who shoot unsuspecting, unintelligent and unarmed animals are going to go Seal team 6 aye? You sure about that? When someone feels they can fight or are strong they usually stop training. People are weak and getting weaker on home soil it's the truth
I worked with some of Canadians from their Special Operations. Damn fine warriors all. It would never turn its back on America.
One problem with the original video:
Russia & China each shot down decommissioned satellites only in the past 2 years; they both did it rather sloppily, too. The U.S. did it cleanly from a ship way back in 2007 (and with an F-15 in the 1980’s).
We also did it with a navy missile cruiser too.USS Lake Erie, in 2008 with an SM-3 missile. Our missile cruiser can shoot down nuclear missiles. Which is why we keep some in Japan to protect them from North Korea.
Yeah! Shot down lots of drones too in the Red Sea. Drones $1600 each - shot down by missiles cost 2 million each! And you have thousands of homeless people in the US!
Appalachians are always ready for a wild time. There's a huge number of veterans there, most of everyone learns how to shoot as a kid. Most grew up fighting and some boys in those hills are walking genetic nightmares. The civilians have a lot of heart and no give up. Some of those boys are flat out crazy. Texas are very well known to have a lot of the same characteristics. People in the South are also ready for a good fight too. You would just hear Lynard Skynard before being unmade. There's more registered weapons in Alabama alone than in most countries. Registered weapons... Places like Northern California are a bunch of country like boys too. All I can say is good luck placing boots on the ground. Americans are always ready. That's outside of our very well trained military. We ALL are one if stuff was to happen and ready to go. The military, the people, we all would work as one. I can promise you that. The Canadians, our brothers would be with us too.
I consider myself an average American, when it comes to firearms and shooting. I am a part time range safety officer for one shooting club. Despite it being in a liberal era (Southern California) the turnout on the weekends to practice shooting is incredible. And we are all paying for our own ammo, and dealing with all sorts of obstacles to procuring ammo. I don’t think I’m over the top on firearms, either. I have one shotgun, and 6 rifles, and 10 handguns. Again, I think I’m fairly average in that count. I also reload my ammo, and even cast my own bullets. Working at a range, I have unlimited access to used brass. I’m also a a veteran of being an officer in the US Army and the US Air Force. So, lots of free training there. It’s the hearts and minds that need to be watched over, because the ‘invasion’ would have to come from within. Bring plenty of body bags.
While we may fight and argue amongst ourselves if any outside force were to attack us we would be 100% together.
I have my doubts about that. Hope you’re right though. There’s a lot of so called Americans that would love for this country to be conquered. Obama being one of them.
Maybe more like 95%, there are those among us that hate this country and would probably help the enemy. Sad but true
That's why Russia has run a propaganda campaign to turn the most dimwitted Americans to their side.
no we won't. People would devolve into tribes. The difference between us and Israel is at least Israel is somewhat united under a popular religion. Here we got communists, socialists, anarchists, and everything under the sun. Christianity supposedly is the dominant religion here but it is not. The USA still desperately holds onto that smoke dream. Get your head out of your ass next time.
Exactly. It’s like family. We can fight and bicker with each other but if anyone else try’s we all band together and go after them.
Open border is definitely "some way to enter" for sleeper cells 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Every American “ItS a PoSsoBiliTY” MY ASS ITS A SURE FIRE -bald eagle screach-
The mineral/metal situation is a a really weird thing. While you can truthfully say we don't have the mines it's mostly due to them being closed down for economic and environmental reasons. But they could exist again if some kind of long term emergency popped up. Other rare earths we are constantly finding potential deposits for but except for a hypothetical emergency will never be exploited until the economics of the mining process becomes practical.
To add about his comment on lithium, I remember seeing a post about the state of Arkansas just approved the opening of lithium mines. I think it’s being planned by ExxonMobil. So we have most of the resources we need, it’s just gaining access to it that has been an issue.
Oh yeah, why do you think some military bases in the southwest may look really small, building-wise, but its square acreage is MASSIVE? We're sitting on minerals that we don't need yet. @@TheZenyaNova
@@TheZenyaNova And I think they were saying they could be some of the biggest known lithium deposits in the world.
D o you realize how many people that are armed in the United States almost every household has firearms I myself have military grade firearm plus ammo and kit to fight .... it wouldn't happen, and if it did the invading army wouldn't last long....😢
And I suspect that Canada probably has what we need, and in wartime could do the same. Because if anyone went for the US, Canada knows they're next if they're not attacked at the same time.
The "rifle behind every blade of grass" is not to be taken lightly.
Keep in mind about 6% of the US population are veterans and thus have some sort of combat training.
We've also been invaded at our southern border this past week or two. Most of this 'invasion' was noted to be men of fighting age. The army is already here. The war looks different.
Came here to say the same thing. Have you noticed the demo shift in your town yet?
People are to brainwashed that we are un touchable and our government would never sell us out to see what’s happening
@@Starday723y I'm temp disabled, so I'm not out and about to see any influx.. BUT, I'm in S Louisiana, and a handful migrated here after Katrina and after the surge several years ago, so I expect we have another new set of cheap labor to take our entry level and construction jobs, as before. I'm all for helping them, but this is forced on us and takes people's jobs. It's not their fault , BUT it is. I don't have any hate for them individually, .. I can understand... BUUUUT !! 😵💫😵💫😵💫 They drive wages down.
They're illegal, so you don't need to pay SSI taxes on them or high wages. It's understandable that people, especially small businesses, would use them. A friend of mine goes and
Asymetrical warfare
They don’t have a chance!! It’s not started yet but it will and the outcome will not be good for them. Understand there are people who wait for hours in a tree just to shoot something.
We are destroying ourselves from within, we don't need an outside enemy to take us down.
Our own government is spearheading the effort to destroy us. They have put us in tremendous debt, which has caused inflation to skyrocket. High inflation causes high intrest rates.This exact senario negativly and disproportionately effects the lower and middle class citizens. Wages have NOT increased proportionately with inflation for the last 50 years, meaning that if you are lucky enough to get some kind of cost of living "raise" every year you are likely just taking less of a pay cut than someone who doesn't. America is, and has been since WW2 all about the political and upper class using deceptive financial schemes, and fraudlent taxation laws to trick and enslave the constantly shrinking middle class. The middle class has to provide for everyone else in this country, and all the money America spends abroad. Now it has reached the point where the well is almost empty and there isn't much left to take. The Government's plan? I guess its to keep spending money we don't have putting even more stress on the poor and middle class while using the corrupted main stream media to blame Donald Trump for everything. Our own government has allready invaded, robbed, raided, ruined, and conquered this country. All with financial schemes, greed, oppressive regulations, and corruption.
Thanks to Trump

We sure as shit don't get alongmuch anymore, but nobody will fuck with my people.
I will fight with my brother and sister but, I will not allow anyone else mess with them.
It's not the country it's the slimy politicians who are sowing conflicts in the citizenry in order to keep us distracted with fighting each other so they can divide and conquer. It amazes me how such seemingly strong people are so ready to be labeled victims and can fall for such obvious bullshit. The US is not systemically racist, but I see people getting awfully sick and tired of being told they are and also of the blatant racism being perpetuated against them.
GOD BLESS AMERICA 🇺🇸
This is another thing the people who aren’t “patriotic” but when something from another country try’s something or says something the less patriotic person is about to fight that person who said it
We the People love our veterans. I see citzens picking up the tabs out in public for our fighting men (and women). We donate to causes that benefit vets and advocate for better policies, too. The majority of the country still honors and respects you all so don't forget it. Thank you for your service. ❤ 🇺🇲
Air Force vet myself. I'm really honestly worried about what's currently being allowed to happen to our nation
As an American I’d like to also add a bit on the gun culture here. Not only is it common to have guns. It is common to have multiple guns sometimes on you all the time like a rifle in the truck and a pistol on your hip. The amount of people that are heavily armed at all times is exponential.
What he's not going to mention is the roughly 74 million man armed militia which includes veterans who just spent the last 20 years learning first hand how an insurgency works who have no rules of engagement when a foreign military steps foot on their land. And to whom the Geneva Convention is a piece of paper and war crimes listed on said piece of paper only counts if they lose and they don't intend to lose.
On top of that we have our northern brothers the Canadians who are also armed and have no rules of engagement . Hint for anyone thinking of Invading a significant portion of the first Geneva Convention is a list of shit the Canadians did during WW1.
Canadians have two mode . 1. Very nice and polite . The other is successful War Criminals. And to the South we have Mexico. Good luck convincing the Mexicans to letting any military walk through their country to invade their most important trading partner. Even the Cartels will screw up anyone thinking of invading America because that is cutting in on their business. And it's well established that the Cartels don't really care if what they do to an enemy force is a war crime or not.
So Invasion of the USA is a great example of a bad ideal.
Former active US Marine here. Spot on. We have military, former military, hunters, gangs, and regular folks armed just for defense. The amount of troops it would take to go into even small cities would be staggering. Each citizen armed, backing first police in a area would take out a large number, then reserves would be activated asap. Active deployed quickly with reserves right behind. On a 10 to 1 each armed dropping multiples then capturing larger arms. Aggressors would drop quickly. In any fight the losses have to be sustainable. Ukraine is showing how determined people can repel a larger forces.
I don't think we couldn't be defeated or taken over but, what that would take would be a massive force. No one is invincible. It would take a grouping of many of our largest adversaries and our allies to sit idle.

it's just your civilian-grade toys against russia.
it would take russia some years to take the entire land. but only because it's such a vast territory, and tanks have a finite movement speed.
Millions of veterans armed, trained already on top of all the other mentioned backing up military, police, etc. There's no Harry Potter wand going to make a military disappear but, all mentioned when attacked will appear.

Exactly we are known to race to fight during war time. Even with all the stuff going on we have the biggest population of citizens that are ready to defend and fight in a scenario like this.

I don’t see that happening anytime soon.
You also have to take into account that there are multi millions of civilians that are military veterans like me :)
Thanks!🙏
There is a lithium deposit that is pretty significant along the Oregon and Nevada border. Part of that is also on a reservation.
As an American, we are being invaded right now, but the difference between other countries is that civilians have the opportunity to be are armed 24/7, and a lot of us have military experience or train with our firearms often. The division that politicians push on the public would disappear in a instant.
Yeah the powers that shouldn't be, want us divided, and we got, the baphomat agenda, to contend with
The invasion is coming through the open borders we have from our idiot president
We're being invaded right now? JFC shut fox news off.
This is true. We are being invaded as we speak. Texas is trying to stop it. But apparently the feds don't like that .... ?
Well said
With a wide open southern border, weak incompetent people currently "running" the country, the deliberate weakening of our military, and the crime and corruption at ALL top levels, I believe that our enemies have been "prepping the objective" and are almost prepared for their attack. There are potentially tens of thousands of sleeper cells around the country already thanks to the open southern border. The patriots that are prepared to fight throughout the communities of the country will have a hard time (not impossible time) with fighting a front from every direction. Any politician (from POTUS down), and any appointee that has not secured the border should be pay for these crimes if there is a single sleeper cell that gets activated!
100% on point analysis Redwing.
What makes it more chilling is many don't see or recognize what is happening through the flood of invasive propaganda.
A hard time is our best case scenario.
Stuff it
The armed citizenry would definitely join the fight in the event of an invasion. Not all, but most would. We the People would defend our country.
The supposed world's largest lithium deposit was discovered in northwestern Nevada earlier this year in the McDermitt Caldera. There's a bit of controversy around mining it because like oil you mentioned it sits in tribal lands.
I feel conflicted on one hand I feel for the tribal people but they are still now US citizens this materials would protect them and us.
There is a place called Eagle Mountain, that had gold mines in the 1800s. Once the supply depleted, the mines closed, however, rare earth minerals have recently been discovered there. It is 75 miles southwest of Las Vegas, NV.
Fuck tribal lands.. lets get it
We are currently being invaded via the southern border. No shots fired. A overwhelming number of these individuals are of military age from a variety of nations. Possibly sleepers, I’m a Texan and a veteran. Residing near the upper Texas coast, always prepared for tropical storms.
I agree. Massive DAILY Influx of mostly men, from 18 on up... alot look like they are coming from South America and Africa as well..
Fellow Texan here. The present administration is facilitating this invasion, so who is the real enemy?
Exactly and already getting caught with firearms
Also, the U.S. is the only nation, currently, with the heavy sealift, and, airlift capability required to launch, and, maintain a full-scale invasion of any nation. All our near-peer enemies are not capable of the kind of power projection needed. China has spent the better part of the last 50 years concentrating on Taiwan. You can pretty much cross the Taiwan Strait in RHIBs. The Russians have always been more concerned with the percieved enemies on their borders. In fact, the actual role of the Cold War era Russian Navy was largely sacrificial. They were intended for all those years to die slowing down the stream of personnel, and, supplies that would be sent to Europe in the event of a Warsaw Pact invasion. They knew they would never be able to stop it, just hopefully slow it down long enough that their land forces could consolidate any gains, and, dig in.
The wolfpack tactics used by Nazi Germany. Successful at first but when the U-boats started to lose their advantage, the merchant shipping became unstoppable.
Russians dissolved the Warsaw Pact after WW2 in an agreement with the USA to dissolve NATO. Surprise - USA lied! Ukraine is at war because they asked NATO in - original agreement was to not surround Russia with NATO -but is ignored by the USA,again!
Another interesting aspect of the American interstate highway system is that straight stretches are built every few miles to act as runways for air support.
Also important to note that unlike China, US troops are battle tested in general. We (unfortunately) keep getting into conflicts across the globe on a fairly regular basis. The vast majority of China's military is untested in actual fighting.
They do plenty of drills though, and the fish around Taiwan are terrified of their missile strikes.
You don’t understand who you are talking about
No, you don't understand who you are talking about 50 Cent Army shill!
@@randallanthony1794Yes they absolutely do. US troops have been battle tested since the inception of the country. Every single generation of Americans has went to war. Communist China has only been involved in one military conflict since the CCP took over and they got absolutely stomped in the conflict. A new report just came out this week that found that most of Chinas nuclear ICBM’s fuel tanks are full of water instead of fuel because the fuel was stolen and sold by Chinese officers a decade ago.
The Chinese military is a paper dragon.
@@randallanthony1794I second this he clearly has zero idea about tension and conflicts in Taiwan and Hong Kong 🤣😂💀
When did they last have an all out outright military conflict that went on for years or even months? America's military hasn't gone longer than 10-20 years without major conflict situations since WWII. America's military has been regularly warring for longer than communism has had a hold on China. I'm not saying China is a slouch, but many people don't grasp how much of a detriment communism and conscription are to having an effective military. So far for the last century, America has had the most effective military in the world. Part of that, is that it is all volunteers. People who WANT to be doing what they're doing. @@dillerandzach
