Dude,you should disable the comment section in your uk vs france videos,trolls are spammig like shit there
Yeah I think disabling the comment section is a good Idea. There is a lot of racial tension down there
@Adversary American The same as a war with the UK and the US... M.A.D. The US would get nuked. End of story.
@Ben26436 These countries will never fight each other so piss off. Where where ever Binkov is will be a country the west would fight.
@Ben26436 Piss off you tit.
I think a US invasion would be a very bewildering experience for the American soldiers. For example if they landed on the beaches of Blackpool their first encounter with the local population may make them think there has been a zombie apocalypse. However if they landed in Dorset they would be greeted by irate pensioners demanding to know if their house prices will be affected.
snakekneecap this is more realistic lol
But if they landed near newcastle they would be fucked lol
But the people of Blackpool are Zombies ....
We'd just go to the Winchester, grab a cold pint and wait for it to blow over.

US and UK will not turn on each other we are like brothers now; actually more like father and son than siblings. As an American I would come to Britain’s aid if they needed it, and I know that they would do the same for us. This video is just in a theoretical good fun format no need to get angry or upset. You do not want to fight Britain trust history on this matter. They ruled for a LONG time with impressive superiority; especially with their naval forces and weaponry. Should the call for help from our brothers across the pond ever come again I would lay down my life to secure theirs. Respect to our brothers and sisters in GB, may you live long and never falter.
thanks brother, as a UK citizen i know one thing is right though and that is a lot has changed since we ruled in-fact I personally think we would be a piece of cake for most countries to attack.
@@optc-aaronjackson2496 anybody wants to lay hands on you they have to go through us to do it. Just like if someone wants to delete us they have to go through you guys first. May our brotherhood never diminish and we stand tall together my friend.
Thanks for your comments my friend. I was formerly in the Royal marines and I had the pleasure of being embedded with the US marines. I can honestly say that I'm proud of the special relationship that exists between our two countries, and I too would not hesitate to re-enlist and put my life on the line should a conflict ever threaten the United States. You are a proud and patriotic nation and I'm proud to have served within and also alongside your great military. Respect my friend.

@@mohammedusmanmufti5311 no there not bother the UK is the US dad
Too many people take binkov's videos as an analysis would what would happen IRL. He puts major limits on the scenario because the point is to illustrate aspects of how warfare works. I mean, America not using any overseas bases at all makes this scenario completely removed from reality, nevermind no nukes and no allies. The point is 'how badly does distance hamper a superior force?'
THIS.
This comment should be more liked, most people just use these to go patriotic over their own country and act like they know anything about military power.
To be honest, in a situation like this where the US is attempting to occupy a nation, it is very likely they will not use nuclear weapons even in a real life situation. Nukes would only be used as a last resort, e.g. if the UK use theirs or for some reason managed to destroy the american blockade.
@@Liquiddnbftw How am i reinforcing a make believe scenario?
And without the navy, that is a dumb scenario but the usa still has better nukes.
@@KyleLi The scenario he is talking about isn't about nation occupying... all his videos are pure military analysis in some scenario....why do people not get this?
We else comes here every now and again just to read the arguments?
Me Lmfao
Yes.
Ultimately, no matter how powerful a nation is, it's never a good idea to attack a sovereign nation armed with nukes.. It would likely not end very well for anyone.
The British can't hit the American mainland with their nukes. They are useless in this situation
You didn't even account for the fact that we can refloat HMS Victory at a moment's notice.
Absolutely shocking.
Dont forget we have couple of Spitfires lying around...

Underrated comment
Did you ever hear the tragedy of Great Britain The Empire? I thought not. It's not a story the Americans would tell you. It's a European legend. Great Britain was a Great Empire of Europe, so powerful and so wise it could use the Navy to influence the natives to become colonies… It had such a knowledge of the imperial side that it could even keep the ones it cared about from losing colonies. The dark side of imperialism is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural. It became so powerful… The only thing it was afraid of was losing its power, which eventually, of course, it did. Unfortunately, it taught its colony everything it knew, then its colony killed it in its sleep. Ironic. It could save others from decolonialism, but not itself.
Thanks a lot America, you dicks
haha epic.
And that killed more people then in ww2
China: Is it possible to learn to become a superpower
NEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRD
US: dad, im going to live on my own now.
UK: oh thats jolly great news son!
US: great! Your bags already outside.
UK: bloody fu-
2 days later you know a whole warfare in the atlantic
Binkov: here's a completely hypothetical scenario
The comments: and I took that personally
"Dad, I'm moving back in."
Holy crap your right
Lmfao
Lmaooo 😂
I'm straight, but Wouldn’t the UK be the US’s dad though??
SaladMan that sometimes doesn’t mean anything people wise but country wise every country that was a colony was not happy with the mother country at that specific point in time
Britain: Son, what are you doing?
US: Oh nothing Dad. Just found out there's oil in here..
Britain: Bloody He....
Son? 🙄
@@Souliban It's a history joke
@@zylo1330 in 1776 US didn't exist...And after ...It was a mix of Irish, English and Scottish Catholics that had to run away to America cause in UK you protestants were killing them...Plus alot of Spanish that were 300 years living there already and French...Just some Spanish things that are from US today.. Cowboys (Spanish Vaqueros), Rodeos, Mustangs( spanish horses), The Dollar( from the Spanish Dollar, even in the middle you can see the 2 Hercules Pillars of the coat of arms of Spain, Kings Cake, KKK looks( see Semana Santa un Spain), and a long etc...
England never had strong infrastructure in their colonies. They killed most of the natives almost every where. They didn't make the local Economy Rich. Spain made New Spain the richest country in the world.
So calling US, the England's son is not very accurate...
I think Canada is more like yalls son. We are more a rebellious type
We have more oil than the middle East lol.
A: Yes, but at great loss because of the competence of the British armed forces.
Q: Why would the United States want to conquer its most significant military ally and cultural kindred spirit? The United States ain't Russia.
Your Q part applies to Southern England at best . Elsewhere in the UK that's not the case
Everyone is the comment section is talking about using nukes when the video specifically said that it is assuming a scenario without the use of nukes.
still usa win
That would imply the morons who start shit fights on politically isolated hypothetical conventional total war videos actually had the brain cells required to read the rules
The UK nukes itself therefore the US no longer wants to conquer it .
As an American, I can say Queen Elizabeth II could single handedly defeat our military because she never dies.

I love the wildly over optimistic Americans - they’re good fun. They chant “USA” like they’re at a sports event and immediately assume a large military will guarantee victory but it has never worked for any of the huge military forces which have tried unsuccessfully to invade Britain before: Spanish Armada, Napoleon, Hitler - all out gunned the UK in numbers, sometimes technology and always with supreme confidence - and they all failed.
Like everyone else, I’ve taken nukes out of the equation and in order to answer this question I feel you have to answer another one first:
Can the US even reach the UK to invade it ?
At the first sign of hostilities the five US bases in the UK would be occupied, cut off electronically from the US and closed. The personnel within them interned and all the assets; bombers, cruise missiles, fighters, munitions, comms equipment - captured and requisitioned. Huge amounts of intelligence and materiel will be garnered from this operation.
It’s about 4000 miles across the Atlantic and whatever kind of fleet the US launched would have to immediately contend with the Royal Navy ships, planes and submarines stationed in and around the Caribbean before it even reached open ocean. Obviously UK subs / ships / planes / missiles / drones would ruthlessly and repeatedly target the US carriers and just damaging the carriers that far from target would probably be enough for US military planners to think again. UK would probably lose this encounter overall but the US is now in a shooting war much closer to the USA than to the UK and that is how the UK would try to keep it for as long as possible. Some US casualties already and they are not even out of home waters, support for this action at home is diminishing fast (dead sailors 100 miles from home doesn’t play well on the six o’clock news) and UK special forces are already entering the US from Canada (who is invading whom) ?
The UK home fleet by this point would be massed well into the Western approaches ready to defend the Islands, of which by the way, there are many. Believe it or not the UK is made up of 6000 islands - yes, six thousand. The US had better make sure that one (or many) of those house sized rocks way off the Irish coast wasn’t actually a very specialist anti-shipping weapon that they will never have seen or heard of before (remember how the Brits kind of specialise in secret weapons)? Now consider that weird thing the Brits have that blows sulphur up from the sea bed turning the surface into foam (no ship can sail on foam). How many do they have? How far out do they go? No one knows ! It’s a very small and very rich island nation which is bristling with anti ship and anti aircraft defences. RAF fighters are in action every single day patrolling for Russian bombers prodding at the boundaries and they know their stuff - this is not Iraq.
Now let’s think about the US supply line and position. By this point the US no longer has any friends in Europe so no safe harbours, no European supplies available and 4000 miles from home. No arial refuelling is feasible for US long range bombers over the Atlantic, the Mediterranean is closed to the US by now (who owns Gibraltar and the STRAITS of Gibraltar)? That’s a very long supply line back to America which is very vulnerable to UK and European subs. Russia is rubbing its hands with glee and Israel will stay completely out of it (Who has a permanent army and air base on Cyprus)? Morale in the US ships is low having never attempted a solo military attack on a developed Western nation before and having lost every air to air war game ever played with the Brits... The same pilots who lost those games are on the carriers. For real this time.
The US fleet is also now being harried, maybe not directly attacked yet , but certainly bothered and hampered by a very large combined and coordinated naval force from France, Norway, Sweden, Spain - essentially the whole EU plus all of Scandinavia. The USA has by now been expelled from NATO losing out on all that offers in terms of intelligence and assistance. Europe and Scandinavia worry that if the US invades and occupies Britain it will serve as a beach head for further invasions around the region. They won’t stand by and watch for long…
Assuming most or even some of the US fleet makes it across the Atlantic, as it approaches anywhere near the Irish, Cornish or Scottish coast (say 600 miles) it will be attacked relentlessly day and night by a combined and coordinated Euro and Scandinavian force of naval and air assets and although the US fleet may be huge and very strong, it simply can’t take that kind of battering. The Euro and Scandi forces are close to home, support, repair and everything that home advantage offers. A damaged French plane can land in Britain. A damaged British plane can land in Norway - and guess what - we’re all flying the same plane - the Eurofighter Typhoon so parts and pilots are available all over and behind the front line and battle space to the defending force.
In contrast, all US planes must return to carriers which are under constant and relentless attack. The US fleet will have lost some ships, many air assets and lots of support and repair capabilities given that the entire effort of the Euro and Scandi forces will be against US carriers and their support vessels. Imagine the morale of a Marine on one of those boats… Imagine the morale of a paratrooper in a big fat slow C130 flying into air space which is completely dominated by the enemy with state of the art fighters - this is not Iraq.
The dollar has crashed and is now worth next to nothing and 53 Commonwealth nations, all of Europe, Scandinavia plus China and Russia are crying in unison at the UN for sanctions against the US (Oil, Financial services, Diplomatic permissions). The whole world is appalled and sanctions kick in. China takes advantage and the dollar collapses. Financial free fall hits the US just as the SAS turn out the lights all over New England and New York State.
Britain now deploys the requisitioned US assets against the embattled and shrinking US Fleet causing “Blue on Blue” confusion.

The UK is not a sissy

English bloke here, I don't doubt that the US has an overwhelming advantage, and would almost certainly win.

My gosh this comment section is absolutely insane.
I have read that, partially for a real possibility of political hostility about foreign policy, partially in order to take US Army planners exercised, US General staff did elaborate a war plane for conducting a war against the British Empire in 1920-1930 ( War Plan Red). That time UK army was very large and, of course, Royal Navy had got dozens of powerful battleships and her training was very high, so US strategist thought that it would be impossible, or extremely costly, to attack British in Great Britain. Curiously, this plans showed that the best way to fight in the sea against a fleet with many powerful battleships was to rely on air attacks from aicraft carriers, instead of a long gunnery duel and that, if an islander enemy is too strong, it could be weakened by a long submarine warfare against cargo ships. It was according to these plans that US Navy in the 30-ies invested heavily in aircraft carroers and in GATo-class submarines
Your comment is partly right, partly wrong. The U.S. military did have a contingency war plan to fight Britain, as it did for every major power (mostly Europeans, in that era). War Plan Red for Britain focused mostly on seizing Canada and countering the Royal Navy. To my knowledge, it did not have a component for an amphibious invasion of the UK proper, which would have almost been technologically unimaginable in the decade after World War I.
FYI, the huge American investment in submarines and aircraft carriers came mostly after 1940 when war in the Pacific and Europe were viewed as unavoidable eventualities by most American war planners. The Gato-class submarines were specifically designed to operate in the Pacific, not the Atlantic, with much larger fuel capacity, air conditioning, food refrigeration, and even laundry facilities, all made necessary by long-range operations in the tropics. Moreover, when World War II broke out, the Royal Navy actually had more operational aircraft carriers than the U.S. Navy, which did not start to mass produce large aircraft carriers until 1942.
Bottom line: War Plan Red was not a particularly serious or in-depth war plan, unlike for example, War Plan Orange, whose outline strategy was ultimately followed in the defeat of the Japanese empire.
There's no such thing as the royal army, Its just the British Army.

Binkov: could us conquer uk?
Me: only one way to find out
People who think the uk will win are utter id*ots. The uk has utterly nerfed its military after the fall of the USSR. All of its equipment (guns, armored vehicles, aircraft, and ships - not ti mention the personnel) have been reduced to much less than half at their peak numbers. The uk used to have 50+ combat surface ships, now they only have 22. The us currently has 200+active combat surface vessels. Uk had 1000+ challengers, now they only have 200+ challenger 2s. The us has 5000 abrams active and 3000 more in reserve. The uk had hundreds of planes during the gulf war. Now, they only have 102 typhoons and 30 F35s. Us has 900+ f16s alone and hundreds more of f15s, f18s, f35s, f22s as well as dozens of strategic bombers like the b52, b1 and b2. Uk army troops barely reach 100k while the us has close to 500k troops. Most importantly, the us has access to a lot more resources on its own turf, which will allow them to last longer in a battle of attrition. The uk doesnt have the same luxuries as it has far more limited space for resource and will need to borrow from its neighbors which, for the sake of this matchup, will not be allowed.
Uk is a island and doesn’t need a large army Royal Navy is getting bigger not only dose it currently operate the most powerful carriers out of America able to travel all over the world but the Type45 are some of the best warships the world’s best anti aircraft ship 18 new frigates under construction including the type28 witch will be the world’s best frigate even the us was going to buy them but they didn’t want to wait until testing was complete Royal Navy f35b fleet is expected to triple soon USA has never invaded a other country and won
@@Ukfairgrounds theres only 6 active type 45s, LOL. Combined with the 12 type 23 frigates, they are still heavily outnumbered and outgunned by the 70 active arleigh burke destroyers.
@@Ukfairgrounds and while you are correct that the us has never invaded a country and won, thats because the invaded country had support from other countries or some other 3rd party. If it was strictly between the us and invaded country, the us would moat definitely win.

The UK and it’s citizens would never surrender. The yanks would have to fight meticulously house by house hill by hill. Then, the long-running gurreila warfare that would happen after the conventional war is eventually won by America , would probably force them to leave the country eventually or come to some type of peace settlement , refer back to Vietnam and Iraq/Afghanistan.
@@AzaiReacts I understand your point and respect the American military through and through. I can accept a American victory conventionally though it would be a lot more costly than this video shows. However, I don’t feel a long term occupation of Britain would be feasible, these are tough people who have never actually capitulated to anyone in history, even after America gained its independence, it wasn’t stronger than Britain militarily until the after ww2, specifically when Britain lost its colonies. You also have to bear in mind, the guerilla warfare won’t be like anything anyone has seen before because Britain is a first world country with first world armaments, these weapons would be trickled down to the provisional-government military providing there is no peace settlement aswell as the civilian population partisans

After the cold war, Europe downsized a lot.
@@SF-hw7ng - Its mostly European militaries downsizing a lot (the US did too but to a lesser extent), but also the fact that each ship is bigger (so the same tonnage gets you fewer ships) and more complex (so the same inflation adjusted money gets you less tonnage).

Matches the video. Jesus wept. If these guys had been looking at say the UK in summer 1940 with the vast Nazi military machine 14 miles away across the channel and us with one tank, a few boats, a rag-bag army just fresh from a retreat, and a moderate air force they would have chalked it up for the Germans using the same erroneous logic as they have used in this video. History of-course, tells us that the Battle of Britain was won by the British.
You have to remember that the English don't really get down to business until we have our backs against the wall, and then we change the game plan bringing in black swans of our own making. And they leave out one vital factor - the character of tenacity eg when we ruled Indian (of 100's of millions of people) at its peak we had no more than 100k people on the ground and bits of the Royal Navy floating about the edges.
Robert Firth Yeah well if,if,if if the Germans rode dinosaurs they would have won the war. The English and the French sat on their hands for 8 months after Germany invaded Poland allowing Germany to reinforce their position and cast those slackers into the sea at Dunkirk it was called the "Phoney War" look it up. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoney_War. (Quote from link) "At the Nuremberg Trials, German military commander Alfred Jodl said that "if we did not collapse already in the year 1939 that was due only to the fact that during the Polish campaign, the approximately 110 French and British divisions in the West were held completely inactive against the 23 German divisions." General Siegfried Westphal stated that if the French had attacked in force in September 1939 the German army "could only have held out for one or two weeks". IF... England and France had shown some back bone in 1939 the war would have been over before it started.

@@clarke1878 Correct. The British Army was first set up by Cromwell, as the 'New Model Army'.

Which is weird considering their role.
One think I think you missed is how long it’s take to get those ships from the Pacific. That’s be quite a long wait for reinforcements from that fleet.
Yeah and the British navy would have enough time to make a plan to destroy the upcoming USA navy. They would ping them off while they are advancing.
@@jackjay4670 i think either way America will win but not without a lot of casualties
I think in a scenario with the US fighting against the UK, almost immediately the US would have full control of the air and the seas if they sent a few carrier strike groups. The Royal Air Force is small and the Royal Navy is strong but nowhere near the sheer US naval power. After a few months of aerial bombing, America could safely land a sizable force anywhere on the UK's shores. Ideally Plymouth might be the best landing point because of rugged coastal terrain elsewhere and the port being at the Western edge of the Channel and allowing easy supply, while being unlikely to be harassed by surviving RAF jets.
The fight to London that would follow might be a bit hard. The British Army is the strongest branch of its military and its soldiers are some of the best trained in the world. In a simulated wargame, 100 British soldiers destroyed 1500 US soldiers with minimum casualties. The British Army may be fucking MINISCULE, but they pack a good punch. They could also fall back and fight a guerrilla war in the Cotswolds and Pennines. However they probably don't have enough men to do that. So eventually London is captured and Britain collapses.
Once that happens, the push North will be easy until you hit Scotland. Scotland might resist harder due to more patriotic sentiment and mountainous terrain. All in all, the US could probably conquer the UK in 7-8 months max.
I do agree, and anyone that says the US couldn't conquer the UK is talking out their ass. The only country on the planet that could effectively resist the states is probably China. Realistically if the US invaded the UK would likely have allies within Europe that would support it. Wouldn't necessarily be enough but what would likely happen is a all out nuclear conflict tbh haha
