    Nuclear powered sub does not necessarily mean nuclear weapons. The nuclear power is literally just a nuclear power plant that generates the electricity that powers the sub. Most of the nuclear subs in the US Navy do not have nuclear weapons onboard. But they do have many non-nuclear ballistic missiles.

      Yes, the key here is that because they are nuclear powered, they don't need to refuel. They can be deployed silently in the ocean for however long the food rations last onboard, which, if prepared for special missions, can last over 3-4 months +. Typically special assignment mean that they are given orders based on a bunch of scenarios. Then they go radio silent and stand delpoyed where they are ordered until that time frame is up and they can dock to stock up on supplies and get new sets of orders.

      Yeah he clearly is misunderstanding most of the video to be honest. I knew that the moment he said France would be a problem. Then he proceeded to not realize no nuclear weapons can be used.

    @Seacub42 Рік тому +7

    On your point at 11:00, there are something you and others need to realize about this. We have some defensive missile capability that would mitigate a large number of nuke capabilities. However, the US missile capability, though slightly smaller than Russia's, there's a reason the rest of the world has so few comparatively. They are difficult to maintain. A lesser known fact for most is there is limited confidence that even 50% of nukes fired from other nations with long range capability (few countries have this, the ability to reach the US) would fire, work as intended. They have been poorly maintained. The US missile components are by far the best maintained in the world with capabilities updated constantly. The US defensive capability would negate a large number of the other incoming missiles. Some missiles would get through and would cause damage, but there are concerns they could target effectively. You are looking at at 1-5 ratio here. For each 1 missile that comes through successfully, you get 5 fired back that hit their targets. Nukes is not an option for the global coalition here as the retaliation would be far worse than the offensive capability. No one knows the true might of our defensive capability as we keep that secret but we've successfully tested targeting and destroying incoming missiles.

      I'm from SEA, and I'd like to say you're right, and wrong at the same time.
      With regards to Vietnam, US's objective is to seize control of the communist party of Vietnam. Not exactly demolish Vietnam.
      In this scenario, where US's job is to win, they could've launched 10 missiles in all of Vietnam's jungles and the communists would easily lose. Like, in outmost, 1 day.
      US at the time is met with many global laws that they have to oblige to going in to the war. Hence why their offense is very limited.

    • @remveel2443
      @remveel2443 Рік тому +2

      However, you are right in a sense that it's not about weapons only. The video failed to estimate if US can maintain ALL of their weaponry's maintenance as one of those vessels would consume so much oil.
      And another factor that is not mentioned, is that America would most likely destroy itself more than the world. Just in the Vietnam war alone, Americans grouped up to retreat from Vietnam. America would probably collapse on it's own figuring out how to make every single citizen cooperate in this warfare.
      Lastly, the war is definitely oil-dependent, but not all the time. US can block many routes to avoid oil and communication, but this doesn't stop countries from making new oil pumps and ways to communicate. History has shown how versatile humans can be in times of need.

      However, although it was HEAVILY covered up and that alone caused the "pandemic levels" to get so high, I don't believe the virus was let out intentionally.
      China though...
      They've been caught/recorded seriously talking about high medtech type bioweaponry, and they don't seem to care what ANYONE'S rules are, nor do they care what any country thinks of them.
      The CCP only says and pretends as if they're playing nice, "just a developing nation building products for the world"....
      But that's a paper mask.
      I guarantee that China's rapid NAVAL GROWTH in recent years has a *VERY SPECIFIC* purpose, and only this ONE purpose:
      Microchip control.
      If China TAKES TAIWAN...

      No. Major infrastructure strikes, followed by impenetrable blockades are all that is needed. That isn't the entirety of US forces.
      The vast majority of US forces would go the middle east. That would be the largest theater of war, all nations would fight there, so of they were going to put up a potentially winning fight, they'd need to assemble a coilition of nations there. That would only be possible for some countries, most would be taken out of the fight relatively early on. They'd have resources to stave off an invasion of their own countries for some time, but over time that stuff depletes, ages out, economy tanks, supplies diminish... It seige tactic for a whole region. If you can't control the blockade, you're screwed.

    This seems like a massive over simplification that is just a comparison of hardware while working under the assumption that all the US plans would just work with little to no resistance. Like he assumes that Europe wouldn't scramble to defend the middle East. Like they wouldn't be able to coordinate. Seem like this plan hinges on a lot of assumptions. But if the US was really trying to cut off everyone oil reserves, Europe, Russia, Asia, everyone would descend upon the middle east to protect their assets there. And lets not forget that the all mighty US army couldn't even kick the Taliban out of Afghanistan. So if they were to face the entire world I highly doubt things would work out like this. Because this sounds a lot like when they said Russia would take Ukraine in few weeks. And a lot of US assets are outside of the US, if the US went against the world, Five Eyes, a lot of their targeting capabilities, and probably other classified stuff would go out the window. And there is of course also what you mentioned, there is no way we'd just leave the US alone, we would find ways to strike at their home. The US is full of foreign nationals, not to mention that it's at the brink of war between it's own people already. So if the US actually tried this they would feel it at home, they wouldn't be safe. So it's highly unlikely they'd get much support in their own population for such a war, and that's going to lead to demoralized troops and lots of domestic opposition. So I don't think the US's chances of winning this is anywhere near as high as he estimates. Besides, like you said, if this were to actually happen, then people would definitely start launching nukes, so this would just be the end of the world, guaranteed. And he didn't even mention bio weapons or anything which would also most likely be deployed. So yeah, definitely end of the world scenario right here.

    Damn this is crazy. Got my mind going in all types of directions! It’s so crazy how the geographic position of the US is such a crazy advantage even before you start considering the tech and numbers and ability to move hardware and soldiers.
    Sure, the US military has struggled in certain conflicts like Vietnam or Afghanistan but that’s got a lot to do with bad PR and how they were kinda like fighting and finding a needle in a haystack. When it comes to defense strategy, naval battles, air superiority, defense systems, detection and just launching ICBM’s all over, the US is a CRAZY powerful beast. We have the entire planets waters filled w subs and carriers.
    Of all the military maybes videos, this is by far the most fun to think about.

    Sounds good but there are a some variables unaccounted for and it wouldn't be that easy. Things like secret technological developments and weaponry that we don't know should be weighed in. Also resistance of the native population should be accounted for. A war of that magnitude needs a big number of soldiers because of how spreader your forces will be and the number of casualties we will suffer. That means that conscription will have to be activated and people here in the U.S. will oppose and this will in turn will create internal struggles inside the country. Troops don't run with oil so you have also to account for food. Our defenses are good but not perfect and certainly not unbeatable. Someone in time will crack them down. Don't forget about spies. If we were up against the world the losses will be far greater that what can be gained. It will be a very very long war (in a no nukes scenario) and if we win we'll be left in a vulnerable position and a devastated economy. It's a loose - loose scenario and far more complex and complicated that what the video explains.

    Super Power means being able to project power overseas. Neither China nor Russia have the capability to project their armies to another country via sea or air, only thru land. A land invasion of the US by China, Russia, or any other country is basically impossible. Canada and Mexico's armies would get handled by the state's National Guard, Reserves and Coast Guard alone, no need to use the active duty military for that.

    They couldn't even win against the Taliban, so i dont think this scenario is in the US there favor. Guerilla warfare would become a big thing in certain countries, and for that the US would need to station troops in those countries, which cannot be used somewhere else. The rule about not using nuclear weapons would be off the table anyway, cause in such a scenario, for sure the USA would use tactical nukes, and so will other nations by then. The US fleet is massive and technological advanced, but it would not have any ports to dock at for long, cause they would become easy targets and could basically be shot at from almost anywhere in the world except there home ports. My conclusion with this video is that the guy who made this video (who is probably an American himself), underestimates the rest of the worlds combined power, and leaves out so many factors that would play a huge role, he is clearly an pro-American person.
