I served in the US Marine Corps for 12 years. We always looked forward to training with the British Royal Marines. Professional, skilled, and enjoyable to hang with. Semper Fi, brother!

And they out drink yah too!!!!
One should _always_ offer a respectful hand to their international allies that they've served alongside. Much respect, Pete. Thank you for your service.
I know that our (the US) military is pretty much the scariest on the planet, but it's nice whenever we're willing to give our dues to our allies. An important understanding when it comes to military superiority is that allies are not to be needlessly disgraced. Given how buddy-buddy we are with the EU, it'd be in our best interests to remember that at least a _little_ more often than we've been doing.
I, myself, served on a 'boomer' (ballistic missile submarine), and I can testify to their readiness and their stealthiness. We exited Guam, and submerged. At about 250 to 300 feet below the surface, there is a temperature inversion that reflects surface sonar. That means the enemy 'fishing trawler' surface ships can no longer find us. This means that we can go ANYWHERE, and the enemy can no longer know where we are. When I served ( 40+ years ago) I was aboard the USS Nathan Hale (now retired and scrapped) which carried Polaris missiles. We had 16 missiles, and each had a {classified} number of individually targetable warheads. Current subs carry more missiles, and each have more warheads ... and we have more of them, than when I served. These are ACTIVE warships, not static "Minuteman" occasionally inspected installations. So, no matter who starts a nuclear war, WE WILL END IT! The most horrible part ... is that NO ONE wins a nuclear war!!!!!!
You cant end it... will end itself... who do you think you are in front of a nuclear missile ? God ? You think about ending it... but what about hundreds of millions of ppl in the way of it ? Nice thinking...
These so called superpowers of the world upgraded their arsenal that if anything will start there is no way of ending it before it ends us all...
You my friend are a patriot thank you for keeping my dumb ass safe
I went to Nathan Hale elementary in Tulsa 30+ years ago
Remember the quote from Denzel in the Crimson Tide “nuclear holocaust”
Now if a kid calls me a boomer, Im taking it as a compliment 🤣
As always, love your content, Ryan. We (the US) love you Brits. I view you as our brothers and sisters, despite our differences and the couple of little spats we had in 1776 and 1812. You know how families can be. We may be the wild, rebellious younger siblings, but we always have your back.
big facts!
The US has silos all over the states. It’s considered to be almost impossible to find these unless you stumble on them. A lot of people hike trails and find abandoned buildings that house ICBM silos.
I traveled all over the united states going to every state. A lot of those silos you can see from the road off in the distance. I'm not sure how many you can see today but I'm assuming you can still see a lot of them if you look.
In my early teens in Nebraska it was pretty easy to find these missile silos as we were pheasant hunting. I had family in the military and later on I joined myself at 17. It’s the classified scope and the classified building projects that really connect some dots
Russia probably knows where they all are. They are housed on Military Bases and have significant number of personnel providing security for it.
A lot of farms too!
I'm a US Army vet and I disagree with getting rid of them because of deterrence. I point to recent events in Ukraine when they gave away their nuclear bombs and then Russia happened 🧐
I too am a US army vet. And I agree with this message.
US Citizen and i as well support this message
Civilian here. I would also like to point out Russia has used the threat of nuclear retaliation as a deterrent to more direct NATO intervention to varying degrees of success. In a perfect world they would never be necessary, but neither would war then.
its MAD. that's the resone no one wants to you them
Exactly 💯
I am a formerly active United States Marine and consider The British Royal Marines comrades worthy of respect, fear and admiration anyone who thinks otherwise does so at their own peril.
Squid, here - Screwing good-naturedly with the jarheads wandering slack-jawed around my ship was one of the singular joys of the US Naval service.
You gormly idiots were a source of entertainment, and a true inspiration to watch PT while I took smokebreaks topside. Semper Fi, you crayon-eating, bastards!
Cause they're still Marines, y'all don't fuck around
They follow the same training protocols as the United States Marines and minimum standard requirements . What is concerning is since the Iraq war the military has shrunk in size considerably due to depleted government funds for a variety of reasons relying more on reservists . In the Iraq war 2003 the UK deployed around 60000 active troops and mechanized units , the largest deployments since WW II. This level of deployment is not possible now which is unfortunate
Everybody likes the borrowers 😁
Brits are a fighting race. They are an island nation, fighting is in their blood, they been doing it for thousands of years, you go to any British town or city on the weekend and you'll witness 100s of fights
I was on a boomer (Ballistic Missile Submarine) from 05-10. We drilled daily on “Battlestations Missile” as we called it. It was second nature to employ these weapons systems within minutes of the launch message being received. Probably as efficient and effective as any system on earth. Sure hope our countries leaders can keep us from using them, it would not end well for any of us.
MT? Was on the Penn.
The number of weapons we don't know about is staggering. We'd have to dream to see the reality. Daring to dream is what got us this far.
I'm a retired submarine sailor, and what I can safely say is the submarines don't know where other US subs are. Almost impossible to find, but harder to kill.
not to mention we tail russian subs 24/7
@@yesac101 😆
I have a family member that was really smart book wise, not common sense, and he was made a officer almost when he joined. He was on the nuclear sub for months at a time. He talked about hearing the ice when they were under parts of the ice caps. I don't know what he did but he one of those people with a alphabet behind his name and he was pretty high in the Navy. He is a 2nd cousin so I'm not real close to him. He has a hard time talking with us common people. I do enjoy hearing what he could tell us about the subs. We went to the ship memorial in North Carolina and toured the retired ships. I can't imagine how big the new ones are. Thank you for your service and much respect for serving in a tin can.
I was a SSBN FCO. I can say without a doubt even if we wanted to ourselves the US military could not locate and stop its own subs out to fleet within a 6-month period.
Then you might agree..... submarines are probably the only people that will be left unscathed if a nuclear war happens. Those people in each sub, may be the only people on earth that has a place to live that escapes the fall out world wide. And it's possible, submarines are probably the only way to avoid global destruction, natural or man-made.
Truth be told, those are probably the best people, we want to re-populate the earth, the majority of sub operators are in shape, healthy an of high intelligence, more the likely the whole boat has intelligence well above average. Makes perfect sense that these are the people who would be last on earth if any thing happens
Let's hope it never, ever happens. Could care less about my life, but my son and all the other children that are our future, they are what's important.
I worry for my children and grandchildren. Not only for this, but for the way this country is going. One political party in power trying to persecute another? Germany 1938, anyone?
I worry too , I spend a lot of time in the woods with my kids having fun making fire , finding food and building camp.
It's all fun but I also know the skills might be handy one day but I don't tell them my worries as I just want them to enjoy the moment 🙂
Every time I start getting a little scared about the state of the world, I watch videos like this. It always works.
I served with the Royal Marines in Kajaki in 2010 during our RIP. They were good men and we had a ton of fun with them while they familiarized my unit with the local terrain and people
No one wins any war, it is a matter of losing less.
"War is young people dying because old men cannot get along " Been Franklin
The way you speak of us gives me pride. That being said I can’t help but say the Royal Marines stand just as tall as our fighting best. No war would be won if we stood alone, and for that I thank you. Semper Fi
Yes, they do!! in world war, one after the French and the British had been gassed & millions and millions of young men and boys had just been slaughtered in this nasty war, by around 1917, and about three years into the Germans knew the Americans were coming, but it was gonna take them a while, and they believed that the British morale was wearing down. Nope!!! Just because the British were outnumbered at the time didn’t mean they lost their morale to fight on it all.. the French were a little messed up and a lot of it could’ve been due to their leader ship or just simple shell shock because they all suffered from it, and it was beyond shellshocked, but just horrifying fighting all the time. The French mutinied, & then they got their crap together again, and came back. By the time the Americans got over into Europe around late 1918 or early 1919, despite the fact that Americans have been going over to Europe since 1917, but the Americans just didn’t have a big built up force that President Wilson, and the department of war wanted to have at the time. If the USA would’ve had everything we needed in 1917 we would’ve just hopped on over and gone straight in but it didn’t work out like that way.
The Germans in 1917 hearing that the Americans were coming and were honestly dreading millions of Americans coming in with their tanks. I guess tanks weren’t too popular in World War I, but America was getting ready to send them over in the multi thousands. Well, millions of Americans and thousands of their artillery in tanks, came on over in a much larger number around the beginning of 1919 and that darn war was over in about 4 to 6 months… I don’t know all the specifics, but I was watching a world war, one video the other night and just watching it made me sick. It was an imperial war and how the European empires and their monarchies nobles and aristocratic were fueling the flames of war, and yet it was the poor and working-class man who had to go fight the monarchical wars.. sick!! no it wasn’t really any different during the Vietnam war with America should’ve never been in the beginning to begin with and JFK didn’t really wanna have anything to do wit it, as President Kennedy was an anti-colonialist & believed like I do now that it was ridiculous for these empires to have countries halfway around the world, and they couldn’t manage them. Hi Chi Men went to Versailles in order to try and get the allies to allow them to control their borders and Indo China but it wasn’t allowed. Sadly, 10 years later, a large group of the French military just got slaughtered over there and it’s because the people they are one of their own independence and the United States should’ve just left it where it was.. but once Johnson became president after Kennedy’s assassination, rather than the USA, having a small presence with some navy ships over in South Vietnam-Indochina, President Johnson sent in the whole Darned military industrial complex, and it was just ridiculous. Johnson was all up in that and mostly used to promote the military industrial complex. they could say they were fighting communism. All they wanted blah blah blah, but a lot of it was really more about the people who had big-time investments in the military industrial complex, and got super rich off of war and people dying in wars.. I still think that’s what Iraq was all about because otherwise it was based on a big fat lie from President George Bush, and Tony Blair!! Even though the Republicans were pretty stuffy I was a registered Republican, when I was younger, even though I wasn’t old enough to vote, because I was a Navy brat, and I believed government needed to regulate industries, etc. etc. but they didn’t need them over regulate in micromanage like the Democrats did and the Democrats were more pseudo socialist at the time and big government taxing and spending. Plus I grew up in the south, and the Democrats were what I grew up learning in school for the proslavery pro segregationist, and I was completely against that. Kennedy wanted. The civil rights act passed for the good reasons and genuine reasons, but Johnson wanted the civil rights act on the expansion of welfare act pass for trickery reasons because he wanted the Democrats to own the black boot for 200 years and he used the N-word in the video I saw. It makes me sick every time I think about that video and it bothers me even now because the Democrats still believe that the black Americans are just beholden to them. If a black person desires to switch parties, then they get called all kinds of barbaric names and they don’t care because the Democrats are just a bunch of boys and for years they’ve always call people names whether it’s the N-word or they call people, Coons etc. etc… because the party hasn’t changed. They are the bully party & The only difference is that when slavery existed, and even after the Civil War, the Democrats or four more state, power and less federal government power but when the Democrats gained more power of the federal level, they turned around and they were the exact opposite, and they wanted all the power.!!! They wanted all federal power, and they want All states power to the max.
The only reason they did so well in the midterm in 2022 is because Joe Biden, and all of these socialist in Marxist, scared people to death by lying to them, and telling them that the Republicans were going to do away with their Social Security Medicare, and welfare , which was absolutely nonsense . Republicans are absolutely no welfare for immigrants because they’re not citizens and the sanctuary cities and states just seem to think American taxpayer should pay for everything but they’re just really buying votes at the expense of American citizens.

Saw a stealth bomber in the clouds with my dad during one of my baseball games, only 2 people out of dozens that saw it just barely peak through the clouds. Was during a thunderstorm and one of the coolest things I have seen to this day.
Once you have seen it, you can’t unsee it but if you have never seen it you won’t unless you know what to look for or listen for. Vibrations are the key especially in ‘stealth mode’.
@@chandrabrame4344 it was pretty low honestly around dc metro area so allot of bases. Wasn’t a speck I’d say it was probably the height of an airplane coming into land at an airport. Was probably 20 years ago but still pretty vivid for something that happened when I was like 10 especially since my dad saw it also
@@chandrabrame4344 it was pretty silent though and have no memory of vibrations. Just a case of looking up at the right time.
I lived in Dover around 2012. Lot of training around there from the airforce base (usually cargo planes, don't know exact kind). Left for work one night and a big triangle came over the tree tops. Basicly silent, no lights on and I could make the silhouette out. Couldn't believe how low they were flying.
As an American I appreciate all the love you have for our military. My family served in the army since world 1 and have served in almost every single war America has been i.
Also I want to thank you for your service if your ever in Ohio USA I will buy you a beer
My grandfather grew up in a house with no electricity or runnung water and was entirely self educated....he was a member of the MIT development team for the trident missile after a 20 year Navy career
That is so cool. My father worked on Paved Paws, early detection system and the Aegis systems. He also graduated from MIT.
I love how us Americans and Brits go back and forth like brothers and sisters until time comes for us to stand together. Man, I love you guys.

@@KickbuttBuzzcutDickhead no and you?? Are??
Ryan, as a Marine I am sure that you are familiar with demolition blocks and other explosive types. A kiloton yield a nuclear weapon is equal to the explosive force of 1,000 tons of TNT so a 370 kiloton warhead is roughly the same as 370,000 tons of TNT . there are yields into the megaton capacity built which is almost unfathomable in destructive power. Love your channel. Much love and respect to our UK brothers in arms from a US disabled vet!!
Can't forget our weekend warriors that are just as dedicated to protection of our freedom.. other countries may speak down on our arrogance, although I've seen plenty of foreigners praise the reasoning behind it. If you don't like Americans, it's because your not one.🇺🇲🦅I'm a native American, Cheyenne River Sioux,. And born on the fourth of July in 1985. It don't get much more patriotic ❤️😘
I consider Americans my brothers. What you wrote is the arrogance you speak of. I’m Métis. Chief Pontiac is my blood. Literally.
As a Canadian?I would die for an American any day, anywhere, any time. QUIT making you look like assholes.
Hell Yeah my Native American Brother. I’m an American with Irish and Cajun Bloodlines, and always had respect for the First Americans! If it wasn’t for the Houma Indians my Cajun ancestors wouldn’t have survived their first couple of years in South Louisiana. They were strong people, but the swamps of south Louisiana was something they had never experienced before. Stay strong brother

More Americans need to Salute You and the REAL Americans! I’ve known a Nez Piece and a Blackfoot, all very respectable guys. America isn’t perfect, we have a lot to improve on but changing it to a Socialist/Communist country is NOT the way to do it!
Your a good man and I hope you can forgive the white man's ignorance for mistreatment of our native brothers n sisters if it weren't for the natives the white man would not be here they saved our bacon many times ,I fished in Alaska in the 70s n 80s with the klingit Indians and they taught me many good things I love those people now I have a great respect for the natives peace bro yah ta hey
I'm an American, but I do thank you for your service as well. . All of our allies. I know we would protect each other at all cost. It's nice to know someone has our back. 🇦🇺🇨🇦🇬🇧🇳🇿🇺🇸 Forever!

@@Philosophic2311 The Brits would be there regardless. The rest of Europe... I'm not as sure about that.
@Megan Baker I'll preface this comment by saying I stopped watching at 3:44 to make this comment.
Making videos about how events could play out for a possible WWIII is a pointless endeavor. The people who make them hold one of three positions, they are the either anti-West, pro-West, or "neutral." The last group are only fooling themselves into thinking they can make a video like this from a neutral point of view. Neutrality or "all things being equal" is an impossible stance for humans, and by default the machines we make (computers) to take.
People need to go back and watch the 1980s movie called War Games. As corny as that movie is by today's standards the final conclusion of the movie was and is absolutely correct. The computer in that movie came to a conclusion, after running all of the possible scenarios WWIII, that NOBODY will win WWIII. That conclusion still holds true in 2022.
So it really doesn't matter who would or would not support us.
The British and America are Family. We will Always Stand together.
You seem like a great person to have a beer with! I’m sure you have some awesome stories. I’m American, but I’d still like to thank you for your service btw. I stumbled across your channel, but I’ve really enjoyed your content. Good work!
I'm American. We simply can't lose the Brits or the Aussies. Because we love you guys. So your military capabilities have to be taken into account with ours.
Can't lose the Canadians either, our northern brothers and sisters are great at operations that later become war crime additions to the Geneva convention.
My father was a light bird stationed at NORAD in the 70s. As a child listening to him and his friends (even then), their ability to track anything flying worldwide was amazing. There were times when they went into "Lockdown", and didn't hear from him or see him for a day or two. He would come home and at times lock himself in his office with a bottle of Johnny Walker. Always wanted to ask him "How close were we to dying?". Never asked, and he never had to say. And that was 30+ years ago.
Years later, he opened up that the times he was most concerned was when they were tracking objects that could not be explained that just "appeared" flying faster than anything manmade. He (they) would be on the phone with the Russians asking "That's not ours, yours?" "No".
As he said, "Bluebook, hell. They have an entire library of shit they can't explain".
Yeah. Will raise the hair on your neck
Wow.. What a story, that’s crazy. Truly fascinating but like you said will raise the hair on your neck.. Lowkey funny they would call the Russians tho haha
Typically the way the military works is that if anyone died then a full black out would happen between family and troops no matter how many died. So they don’t get told by the grape vine and not incorrectly. That or it’s just a mission. In any-case contact info is cut.
Fallen angel technology.
Dad was fucking his assistant buddy.
Always listen to your elders stories. You never know when they may open our eyes just something beyond you had no clue of.
You also have to remember our 2nd amendment. America has several MILLION trained and experienced long range riflemen. We call them "hunters". We also have 20 million veterans trained in weapons and tactics no enemy can survive a conventional war on this continent without beginning with a nuclear war. BUT, all that is for naught if our business and political leaders are happy to surrender our culture and economy to CHina. for the sake of profit
The largest threat has been and continues to be domestic.

Nuclear war does not determine who won, just who is left. Found thre channel this morning and you now have a new sub. Great stuff
Our troops do indeed do a fantastic job, and I for one appreciate them all, as I do you as well for your service, as essentially an extension of one another’s military, of all the nations throughout the history of the world, no two nations have ever had a greater chance at eternal peace than UK and USA, and I don’t see any scenario in my lifetime happening to change that, ride or die nations til the end!
From what I've learned, having served as an officer in the German military, there's a TON of stuff the public doesn't get to know. It seems foolish, even stupid, to tell the public everything in case you might be attacked by an enemy. I absolutely agree on your assessment that there's stuff people don't get to know, and that many capabilities aren't public knowledge. That serves to ensure surprises and thus initiative gaining measures when dealing with an enemy attack.
It seems unlikely any government could keep secrets like that secret for very long.
Yeah for sure I live on the east coast and I know for a fact we have nuke silos i've been inside one.
Will Germany finally defeat Russia this time???!?!
Ok buddy
but what if we civilians don't WANT Military protection and would rather strike out against injustice on our own?
The reason nukes got so massive was because they were inaccurate. A bigger nuke doesn’t need to be accurate. As the US got more precise, nukes got smaller. Russia hasn’t done the same thing or to the level in any way shape or form.
I doubt any of russias nukes works. have you seen how inept they are.
They got smashed by -Ukraine with our weapons- imagine us with our weapons.. 1 week and russia Has a disney in the center of Moscow
@@legolasgaming3277 You don't need nukes to bring Disney to Moscow. Muscovites would love a Disney park the problem is the weather would have the park closed most of the year making it a money losing endeavor. There was a McDonalds right in red square until they decided to leave. American corporations colonized Russia like 3 decades ago. In fact the chain TGI Fridays is still operating in Russia "I think they have like 5 locations in Moscow alone" and donating franchise fees it collects in Russia To Ukrainian relief funds.
Not completely true. They stole guidance systems from us during the cold war. The Chinese stole the D5 guidance systems. They may have very accurate guidance systems now. You can thank cold war traitors.
It would destroy the planet = 0 survivers = no winners
15:24 - that noise. In the mid 90s, I lived in a small town in northern NY called Madrid. It had a volunteer fire department and they had a tower with a siren like that on it that would go off for like 10 min whenever there was a call for the fire department. It would go off probably twice a week. Sometimes it would malfunction and go off for hours. Sometimes it would go off at like 3am. Was creepy af. Damn thing was like 200 yards from my house.
I love your reactions, by the way I would love to see you box. I bet you kick ass. Your country must be proud of you. Hell I’m an American and I’m proud of you. Come y’all let’s get his channel up. Thank you for all your words of wisdom. ❤
Thank you bro, I appreciate it. The boxing thing may have to wait actually, I might have to start TRT pending testing. I guess my hormones got messed up from the mil
09:30 During the Cold War between the U.S. and former Soviet Union, the government installed ICBM silos specifically in sparsely populated areas in northern Colorado, Wyoming, Nebraska, Montana,, and North Dakota.. These were designed to be the first targets in the event of an attack, a "nuclear sponge" that would draw fire away from more urban areas.
as well as Washington state there are decommissioned silo's for sale out there

@@odasmith1215 Yeah during my time all around RC South in 09 and 10 they and Canadians were, for the most part, quite squared away. However they suffered so badly on man power at that time that almost everything was a red zone because they just couldn't push presence out into areas very well until the surge.
I love that in the center/ heart of America is 3 seperate MISSLE WINGS Capable of Glassing over basically anywhere.
Happy to help you build your channel, I will pass on to my peeps. I have become a bit of an Anglophile over time. You guys have won me over with your skill, talent and awesome humor. I hope we can all top a pint to you when you hit a million subs. Great video, obviously. Stay low and keep at it.
I always remember watching the British marines in desert storm, these guys were leaning into it, very aggressive, I was impressed.
Something to know too…. The US ICBM missile silos use floppy disks (the “save icon” for the younger folk) as their “passkeys” because 1 they can’t be hacked (there’s no internet connection to manually insert a disc into the launch sequence) and 2 you need to manually insert the disks (so the enemy needs to literally insert the disks to either cancel the launch or start it) which means infiltrate a nuclear silo, find the officers with the disks, neutralize and insert the disks (next to impossible in Colorado, North Dakota and Montana) so the land based ICBMs are fairly fool proof and the US uses special aircraft’s that work as “doomsday” aerial command centers so even if the white house is knocked out (along with the designated survivor) can order a nuclear strike/response ( one was seen recently off the coast of California with a different call sign/civilian designation) so the land based ICBMs even if “vulnerable” can still be operational in the few minutes that an enemy nuke is on the way…..
(dear 3 letter agencies reviewing my comment what I just wrote is in compliance with the freedom of information act “FIA” and I am in no way disclosing or jeprodisring the national security of the United States of America by voicing/acknowledging publicly available information)
I am retired from the US Navy and I have seen nukes up close while serving on aircraft carriers during the cold war. I don't understand what you mean that the ICBM's can't be launched unless you have the floppy disks or similar media. I don't agree with what you are stating, if the missile silos are knocked out, the analog doomsday aerial command can order the missiles be launched remotely. Probably by satellite communication, I don't think the internet would even be working in the event of a doomsday event. Just curious, no disrespect intended.
@@tramey1959 They tend to need to be launched by two officers on site,I believe.
Also, the president's nuclear Football can remote launch every land based ICBM sub based Nukes are absolutely impossible to stop, they go out for several months at a time. Often going severl weeks with no radio contact. They can literally be anywhere in the world. Each sub can carry dozens of missles that each missle has multiple independent war heads. That means each missle has 4 nuclear warheads per missle
Wow you people are so clueless.
Love the nod to the alphabet agencies, I tend to preface my statements regarding military service with SWIM just because, someone who isn't me tries to make sure I don't upset the people that love making people disappear lol
Just joined from the USA. Thank you for your service.
Good video. Completely agree, watching the strike on EUROPE with the sirens gave me the chills.
Great takes. As an American I hope with my whole heart the World never sees these things unleashed.
I live somewhat near Whiteman Airforce Base and occasionally we'll see the B-2s fly overhead, crazy just how big those things are
New information came out, we now can launch cruise missiles from cargo planes, lots of them at once too with a different location to hit. Our strategic capability on nuclear just went up 10x
Love your program. Much success👍🏽👍🏽
I was always told by my father who is retired United States NAVY “To get respect you have to give it.” Much respect for someone from a totally different country to speak about my great country.
Thank you for the admiration and appreciation of the United States.
Too bad France that has been bailed out for 2 world wars and have so much disrespect for the U.K. and the U.S.A.
Yup. I agree, I’m from England, & guess what, Macron, Frances PM is constantly talking with Putin, trying to arrange peace talks even when especially Ukraine 🇺🇦 don’t want the unless it means all of Russian troops leaving which is fair enough. He keeps on putting his foot in it whenever it NOT wanted.
Keep in mind that France bailed the 13 US colonies out at the very beginning during the American Revolution or we would not HAVE a United States to live in. That was no small thing, so give respect to them for THAT. We repayed that debt to them in WWI & II. The Statue of Liberty stands for that Centennial of friendship.
Their attitude is in no small part because of their pride in the AGE of their nation and it's history. In comparison, the United States and even Great Britain are youngsters. So respect is due to them for that too. .
@@marcs990 That is just Macron not the whole country. I do not think every Frenchman is a Putin lover.
The French are just TRULY bitter. They lost their country is WW2 and WE (UK & US) TOOK IT BACK FROM THE NAZIS and KINDLY returned it to DeGaulle, SAVING THEIR ASSES! They’re just bitter because everything they have and everything they ARE, Is thanks to US!!
@@corinnem.239 Except, their record since 1866 isn't all that good.
I was on a fast attack submarine and they are very difficult to detect, you’ll have a few guys that say they tracked US submarines but the guys that know will tell you in war games we sunk the opposing force every time. In training we were tasked with sneaking into a group of surface ships, launching a exercise torpedo, simulate sinking a particular ship and escaping undetected and the kicker was they knew we were there but couldn’t find us.
I do believe, here recently, that an op with an allied navy was done and the allied navy seceded in penetrating the US screen forces and killed the carrier. I think it was a diesel boat that made the kill.
Thank you for your service on that attack sub. I have enjoyed sleeping peacefully.
@@christopherbarringer751 Hopefully it taught them something.
Sounds like "Overboard " the movie.
@@christopherbarringer751 I believe that was a Swedish diesel sub, that snuck through the carrier's escort group, and popped up right next to the carrier itself.
@@byronoser6827 pretty sure you’re correct sir
That opening bit about wwiii is something my cheif talked about alot in NJROTC classes back in high school really helped put life into perspective when you really think about all of it
I’m 100% confident that your experience as a Royal Marine makes you 1000% tougher than most.
Other fighters may want to think twice.
American citizen however raised in a big military family. The India and Pakistan countries mostly go on the list due to them having nuclear capabilities. That alone poses a threat but we also don’t have as much of great relationship with them compared to the Brit’s where we have a strong alliance. I could go further in detail but honestly think that’s all I need to say. God bless all who read this 😁
Unfortunately nobody would win a nuclear war, the results would effect the entire population of the world for many many years... Direct deaths, radiation deaths and starvation from inability to produce food grains and livestock. Not to mention deaths related to climate issues resulting from the strikes. I'm former USMC and believe that a strong military is very important, however completely getting rid of Nuclear weapons would be fantastic but with more and more countries developing, purchasing and building up nuclear stockpiles, we have no choice but to maintain ours simply as a deterrent.
Those that survive would find out if the nuclear winter theory is accurate.
Naw we would win 🏆 😅
It's called the great reset.Whatever rises from the ashes and carnage will be better than the New World Order agenda we
today.
@@daviddoesit2341 -- YES. | The triumphant U.S. would stand atop an ash heap.
@@marianotorrespico2975 we would "win"......but what does that really mean? The earth for the most part would be totally unproductive. Not able to grow food by a radiation sick population. No food in the stores and markets, no gasoline or fuel oil for winter. It would be a hollow "win".
RIP David Brockie of GWAR, you said it well with, among other things, "missles know no side".
The munitions on the subs. They have more than 4-5 warheads I've heard they have around 16 warheads and each one can be independently assigned a target
That is the "treaty limit" of 4-5. If the Russians are hiding mobile launchers in their forests...
You heard right.
I really enjoyed your Podcast. I'm a retired 30 year army vet and had a opportunity to train with the lads from Britain while I was in Afghanistan and they are truly warriors and good soldiers and have
proven to be a strong partner.
very good vid. thanks for hosting. cheers from the US
As a kid of the 80's I lived near a Strategic Air Command Bomber base in Maine. It served as the home of the 42nd Bombardment wing from 1954-1994 when budget constraints closed it. We were a blip on Russias radar. My dad served as a stratotanker launcher in the 1970's and met my mom at the tail end of his deployment here.
What I think, is that you are clearly a very well trained RMC, with a mind for military strategy. These capabilities would absolutely be the smoke in front of the mirrors of what might actually exist. As always. Glad you and yours are on our side. Hope you’re well.
We have silos in nearly every state, the older outdated silos from the cold war are sometimes even sold to citizens for private use and people turn them into houses or condos.
With you all the way through! Love your content. Keep it up brother!
Phenomenon segment sir. I enjoyed this greatly.
United States Marine here, love the content and effort you put into your videos. You seem pretty knowledgeable! And yes it is as you said, there's sooooo much more of pretty much everything that the public will never know about. Semper Fidelis!
Semper Fi devil dog. Also a us marine
Even with my other constructive criticism much respect bro! I’m an Air Force Veteran and have been lucky enough to see all these aircraft in person. They are amazing machines.
Thank you, sir, for your service. I just have to ask, though you are probably too young. Did you ever get to see a Blackbird up close?
I really enjoy this channel. As a Army Ranger, I love how much knowledge you have about some of our weapon systems.
You told us to let you know, didn’t know I was supposed to just playin you said if we made it to the end of your video to let you know I watch all of your videos little bit to the end. I’m a big fan of your channel. I’ll check all your new continent every time you post something I like the way you look at the world the way you see stuff the way you analyze shit you’re a realist and practical keep it up man!!
Thank you so much for all you do. As a 12 year U.S Army Veteran, I have been blessed to train with the Royal Marines during my tenure. Great guys. I was surprised the video did not mention strikes against the Pacific Fleet and Camp Pendleton. Being a resident of San Diego, I am pretty sure I would be one of the first to see the balloon go up. Best of luck in your boxing endeavors. I will be sharing your channel. I got your back, brother.
Thanks for your service Daniel
yep there are several military bases around San Diego.
I'm over in LeJuene for my last few months in the corps. I know that I'd be one the earliest to see the sun come up at 11pm 😂
The Marines also have an air station in San Diego, Miramar. Coronado is close by & 29 Palms is not that far away.
@@aauwhatitdo1582 oshit dont drink the water!! /s
It's actually scary that all of this is just the public's knowledge and there's so much we don't know about.
The fact that this guy and the guy narrating this video can't pronounce the word nuclear properly is scary
When the US military makes something public knowledge, it is obsolete and they actually have something far more advanced.
USAF 1977-1997. Knowing what we had then scared the hell out of me. I don't even like to think about what we are capable of today.
Love your videos, just ran accross em and can't stop, thanks!
8:01 to take out a MInuteman LF, an enemy would essentially have to score a *_direct hit_* on it. anything less would be ineffective at removing launch capability. with the physical and EMP shielding in place, they're virtually impervious until they see sky. and it is even MORE difficult to knock out an LCF.
I am a former US Army soldier and now I actually build nuclear submarines for the US Navy and you're right... Those subs are seriously no joke. Their capabilities are unmatched. The work I do is also interesting because we also help build submarine parts for the UK. Just last month we sent off a missile cylinder for a UK sub. The money they cost to build is also no joke but the Navy actually pays for it and has plenty of money, without costing the taxpayers more.
Who pays the navy?
@@TmkNerd Good point but I mean that the tax dollars don't get raised for specific things like that. It already has to be within the budget that they already have, unless a bill is signed, notifying the taxpayers that their taxes will be increased, due to new military equipment.
OpSec my dude!
I was gonna say "Loose lips sink ships" but then I realized the sort of ships you build are supposed to be under water 😂
@@CaliforniaMan13 so they're already sinking as intended. Very clever.
The ability to recall bombers without dropping their ordinance is the biggest value; at least twice in recent times, we've mistakenly detected what we thought was a launch. Having the ability to recall is the reason we're all still here.
EMPs are the future first hit.
"You're goin to hell, and everyone's comin with ya" i dont know why but that was funny asf to me
Growing up in Cold War Yorkshire, We only had a 4 Minute Warning and were Prime Targets, Not much has changed since so I'd sooner go out in a Flash than try to Survive the Aftermath!!
Thanks for the comment
it's a good radiohead song also.
SEMPER FI from 🇺🇸 and thank you UK for all of the help you did for Bosnian people during bloody war in 90ties. I was stuck in Sarajevo for 4 years, City was sieged more than any other in modern War era. I served in Bosnia and USA marines 8 years.
Great channel brother!
In these tense times, with possible world war lingering on the horizon, I just cannot get enough of your videos. Usually reassuring for me as I live in the Midwest United States.
Awesome respect you give to my country and I also respect our closest ally that you served with as well. Let's hope we never ever have to see the hell of a world war 3! Thanks for your service and your respectful words.
These silos are also located in the middle of America. 1500 miles to east, 1000 miles to west, Canada to the north 1000 south. Surrounded by other bases with classified missile defese systems of their own.
That's correct I was invited to evaluate certain areas that actually cover most of the states and quite a few islands not to mention the ones that are not known to exist.SOBGRS
Great video. I watched a couple this morning and enjoyed your content. I subscribed and will watch more.
Watched all the way to the end. Interesting stuff really!
I am a 16-year veteran myself and I have learned a lot from the British military as well I work with the sergeant major from England with his knowledge I took everything to heart on what he said on his experience and his professionalism we both learned from each other to make our might even greater if I remember that was a unit called The Devil's Brigade and I could be wrong I'm not really done my research but if there was I'd appreciate it to let me know and my last name is McKee oh by the way I love the bagpipes
So good to witness the reciprocal respect and admiration for each other’s Military Men!
I’m proud to be an American!
We shall overcome tyranny!
Love your videos mate!
Ahh! I remember being “volunteered” to chip ice off missile silos n North Dakota when the temp started increasing. We were responsible for ten silos.
I was stationed at a military base that had no ICBMs, but on a hike I saw a very suspicious, massive nose cone sticking out of a "decommissioned" section of the base. There is way more than we know. This location is not in any silo map that I've ever seen.
yes, we dont use old methods. We have laser weapons, and weapons that can evaporate a target.
US Army Vet here. I served in Basrah with my British counterparts in 2007 and the respect goes both ways. I watched to the end as well. Thought I'd add that because you asked me to
I was in Basrah also 2009, was there a few months as the Brits pulled out and US took over. Of course things went to shit after that! 😂
You show great videos and commentary on these as well 👍
I love this guy! All of his videos are worth a listen.
Really appreciate the appreciation you show towards America! A lot of the world hates us but the reality is that every free nation in the world owes their freedom to America. Not just because of the world wars but mainly because our world wide military presence keeps the wolves at bay!! I really love hearing you speak the truth.
But remember, conversly half the world views us as a murderous oppressor. Both sides have a point.
also remember we can deploy Anything Everywhere. most of the time (and budget) it is relief aid but we can strike any target Hard in just a few hours.
I agree with your assessment of the United States NOT releasing our Top Secret Nuclear Plans. I’m sure that we have things more advanced, maybe by 20-30 years ahead. It’s quite possible that the United States can intercept these Chinese and Russian Missiles. I’m sure we also know where these enemy Submarines are too. Our coastal Sonar Nets are extremely sensitive. Great analysis brother.
i guess the russians can bomb themselves and no matter the amazing technology there is likely to be a devastating nuclear winter.. and ask yourself how much is in the us strategic grain reserve? how many fancy mres in the stockpile
i heard the us has perfected forcefield bubble technology
To add there is an aspect to our submarine detection everyone always overlooks in videos and is not the Navy. Its the USCG. Cutters, especially the newest ones, have very state of the art sonar, often using the same systems as Navy vessels.
I love this channel. Good info
Great videos, thank you I’m subscribed
Thank you Brother for your Service. I’m sure your part of the 1 Percent that serves your Country so I Salute you Sir !! I’m a Fireman/Paramedic in America, I didn’t serve in the Military but all of my Family did starting in WW2 and in every war/conflict since. I love your Videos and watch all the way through all of them. Great Job !! And btw, we Love our British Brothers and Sisters and any of my family members who fought along side of the British Military all said you guys were Super Tough Bad Ass MoFo’s !!! Keep the Great Job up and Stay Safe 😎
Just want to thank all Vets for their service. I think us Americans take your service to lightly and we should demand better care as a whole from the suits. Also to our brothers and sisters across the pond as well. Thanks putting in civilian terms, most of us are really don't get how important this is. Thank you all for your services
Too
Awesome video.🤘🏼
Man I love listening to your videos
Stayed to the end, thank you for the great content & reactions!!! 1 million subs isn't too far away... LET'S GO!!!
" I don't know what types of weapons will be used in WWIII , but I do know what types will be used in WWIV - sticks and stones " Albert Einstein
I agree with pretty much all of your assessments. In fact, those silos might not even be in those locations anymore.
We made fake tank battalions in ww2. It's highly possible those silos are filled with duds to distract would be attackers.
6:00 the only difference between the warheads is the yield, which the video didn't mention for some reason, the one with the larger yield causes a much larger explosion.
This video was very informative. I liked the way he gives his opinions as well as his shortcomings of knowledge. Not preachy, just facts and information with a personal touch of experience and exposure to the military theater. A great and informative watch. I have liked and subscribed.
