Brit Reacts to How strong is the United States military? 

The Chinese military also doesn’t have any real combat experience, besides it’s navy harassing Philippine fishing boats, and getting in first fights with India in Kashmir. America on the other hand has been involved in much more major conflicts in the past few decades than any other country

China also has low tonnage boats. They count their fishing ships as part of the military and still under half the us by tomnage

Exactly! We are the ones that if you want to come into our homes you better get rite with your god because you will meet him.

Just saw a thing on Dimple YT channel and was surprised to find out North Korean soldiers don’t have bulletproof vests 😅🤦🏽

I don't see the U.S.A. ever being invaded by a military. The first reason why is we are too far away from anyone. No other country has the ships to reach the United States main land. The second reason is that our population has too many guns. We most likely wouldn't even need our military to help.

The UK are no different you just need to look into the bombing raids across Britain and what sacrifices were made during the 2nd world war .

I.E September 11th 2001

The biggest threat isn't outside but within.

Indeed.

​@bluemind423 We have been infiltrated. 💯

Bullshit

​@user-nm9pk7lj4h ok, go cry to Xi or Putin because you don't read history

to quote former president trump: “we do not seek conflict or confrontation, but we will never run from it”

Yeh ibelieve it when I see it , it's all bravado

@@user-nm9pk7lj4hWho are you to talk?If your not an America don’t assume and if your an American tell me this just because you won’t why won’t others?

That's the reason why those external foes use social media to divide us over stupid stuff.

Agreed. The motivation to defend is often stronger than the impulse to attack it seems. For instance, public opposition would likely be significant if we were to initiate a large-scale conflict. However, if we were attacked, I believe the majority would support a defensive response, except perhaps some extremists. That said, I've heard from friends and family about individuals in the military who seem to seek out confrontation as well.

You’re a little off on that one. Most military members join with the hope of going to war someday. Yeah not all of them. But the majority want to put their training to use

I would defend my country if it feels under attack. But I will not will not send my sons or my self to go fight in a war for Europeans or Asians.

As an American Citizen and USMC Veteran, I agree with your sentiment 100%! The worse mistake every foreign enemy has ever made/faced, was a pissed-off American People!

@AniwayasSong It's just the America's time in history to be the dominant power eventually it will be someone else

Yes, because our forces completely volunteer, not forced.

American per solder on equipment on the soldier is about $14000. If not more for the Russians n Chinese soldiers that averages $1200 in equipment On their forced conscripts.

🤡🧛🏼🧙🏼‍♀ LOL

This reminds me of The movie 300 King Leonidas meets with soldiers from another Greek city-state. He asks several of them what their professions are back home, and they provide answers like potter, sculptor, and blacksmith. After hearing their responses, Leonidas turns to his own men, all Spartan warriors, and says: "Spartans, what is your profession?" To which his soldiers respond in unison with a war cry: "Aroo! Aroo! Aroo!" Leonidas then turns back to the representatives of the other city-states and states confidently, "You see, old friend, I brought more soldiers than you did."

I mean… we did have a civil war, and we’re on the verge of a second.

And I don't think any hot Civil War is gonna happen anytime soon in America. But there is a cold one brewing. And knowing my life and how things have gone in the past couple years. Anything can happen Like another world war Or we could be in a simulation, or we could restart. To year zero, many things can happen, many variables will happen. But it doesn't mean we have to support the world. Because we feel morally obligated, maybe we should take care of Americans first with billions. The world was OK before we existed As the United States. The world is like a spoil brat.

@@ronclark9724 why did I read that as Anus pact. 😂

Definitely not "most." It's pretty uncommon, and like with guns the numbers are somewhat deceptive because if people have any, they often have more than one.

@@Zelmel Depends on the region. More people in the south tend to be geared up.

@@alligoetz1584 It definitely depends on region a lot, but the vast majority of people don't live in highly armed (relatively speaking) areas. Rural areas tend to be more armed, and regardless we have way more guns than people and the average number of guns owned by a gun owner is significantly more than one. (As of a 2017 survey, two thirds of gun owners have more than one gun, and apparently there were over 7 million people who own between eight and 140 guns in 2016 based on surveys, the finding being that 3% of people owned around half the guns in the country)

We divided well after 9-11. Americans now wouldn't know a real enemy under their nose unless the media tells them so.

I have no doubt in my mind that if push came to shove, a large portion of leftists would side with an invading army given how often they say they hate America.

I just fear we may be going back to the 1860s ways

Yes, but even then, or even further in our past, we all loved America and wanted her to prosper we just disagreed on how best to get there. We could reason with each other, debate, and comprise. Our division now is something else, and it's forcing us to rot from the inside. However, I do believe the vast majority of Americans are still made up of conservatives, moderates, and sensible liberals. We just aren't as vocal as the Leftists in this country. Hopefully, that'll change.

​@jcass1970 The far right and the far left are both equally dangerous for this country. You fail to mention the "conservatives" who are beholden to Putin.

Finland has been on it's own with a highly aggressive neighbor, they ain't playin.

That's what I'm thinking. If your house is under attack. Even if you don't like the house. You're still gonna defend it. He'll look at Russia in WW2. Literally no one liked Stalin and the country as a whole. But their home was under attack. So they kicked some serious Nazi ass

Love all of them and just as proud of our retired as active members.❤🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲

Excellent point. A lot of ppl would be here to help. American pride. Got to love it!

And the vast majority of them now part of the generation that's spent the past 20 years learning all about insurgency tactics, IEDs, urban warefare tactics, etc.

If it came to it, even non-ex-military would take up their arms, and organize into militias led by ex-military commanders. There are over 400 million guns out here with about half of the population armed. With motivation to protect our own families and property... it's a lot. The only way we would fall would be either from within or a full nuclear exchange, end-of-the-world, apocalyptic scenario. This is why we must never allow Iran to attain the capability to launch a nuclear strike. It wouldn't be in the form of a missile that we could easily detect, and intercept, but a cargo ship with 1 very dangerous container on board. They can detonate it at an American harbor before inspection. Unlike Ukraine for example, there isn't a land bridge for our enemies to roll tanks and march massive armies to. There could be some paratroopers. but their numbers would be tiny. They could try and push some hidden units through the security gaps along the southern border, but even if they ran a huge campaign, they still would not be able to sneak APC'S or tanks through.

I'm one of them myself.

that's why I say the numbers in China don't really count because a majority of them are forced into service. every 1 American soldier is worth 100 Chinese soldiers easily.

And that number peaked at 12 million.

All I’m saying is don’t touch our boats

⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠@@jaydenpaxton457 😂🤣 Other countries need to remember don’t play “mess around and find out!!!” With Americans!! Both of my husband ‘s and my grandfathers signed up to serve in World II before we went in to help. I’m very ashamed that there was such a big group of Americans based on politics that tried to keep us from going in to help contribute to end a world controlled by evil, cruel, horrific NAZIs. We are proud both sides of our families signed up early to get prepared and be ready to go the second they were deployed.

More Americans need to understand that if we have a strong military it will decrease our chances of becoming the victim of outside threats if we have a strong military.

Great points. I also don't think our people are as divided as they say. It's the media and the government that want us to believe in the division. That way it gives them more control.

​@briancallaway1690 Yeah, anyone paying attention knows that the narrative shown on corporate news outlets doesn't reflect their real-life experiences. The corporate media will eventually have to be held accountable for the lies they have been pushing all these years. It's all for control. A united population is infinitely more difficult to control than a population that perceives itself as at odds with each other. Thankfully, it appears that people are coming to realize that they are being misled.

Exactly!

Yeah idk how much numbers have changed but I looked it up and in 2021 we has a naval fleet about twice as heavy as China’s. I assume they just count every canoe and dingy to pump up their numbers for the public image lol

We will still fight for our country

Unfortunately the future probably holds such events in wait for us. I'll never turn my back on my country or her people, I'll even protect those that hate me because of their ideologies, we're all her citizens no matter how toxic our sibling rivalries get

Every generation goes through this. I'm old enough to remember Vietnam and the 60s. I remember my Dad talking about how the country was going downhill and would never regain it's former glory and all that. It's the ever growing debt that worries me.

I think the word DIVISION is a exaggeration, Americans aren't divided Congress may be, but they are suppose to be just that.

The people at the extremes are the ones who might not help those on the other side of the political line. Even that said, I think too many people are in the middle that will influence fence sitters on either side to join. There is something that could motivate younger Generations. Because, 2024 has become a year to remember that FREEDOM NEVER SLEEPS!

With America's goal being to have air supremacy before things even start

Yep. Air superiority and logistics.

Also, we have almost a million armed police officers.

Don’t forgot the National Guard and Reaerve forces.

plus we have "The United States Space Force"

@@kiekie84 Thank God they broke off from the Airforce. When they were a department of the Airforce their funding was always being diverted. So glad they are a separate entity now.

They are still fighting Ukraine and threatening to March into Europe. Russia has always had more quantity the quality but they can overrun most of Europe and cause huge destruction and death before they are stopped.

It wouldn't really matter if the propaganda was strong enough. Russia fighting ukraine made this perfectly clear. I can't think of any country more closely tied familial wise to another yet russians had little enough issue bombing cities and villages they knew family were in. These were family they kept in contact with, visited often, and when the war was ongoing, family in russia refused to believe that russia was doing what it was doing.

Not every few weeks, every day. Nuclear submarines can remain underwater until they run out of food and/or break something important.

​@@UpperDarbyDetailing no. You are underestimating modern diesel electric submarines although I overestimated them by a bit. The record publicly is 2 weeks underwater although in war time I'm sure that could be extended.

longest i stayed underwater was 89 days. we could have stayed longer, but was not needed. And diesel-electric boats do not need to fully surface as they can snorkle. They are quieter than nuclear, but, still very hard to detect any submarine that doesnt want to be found. At least US subs are that way.

@@Skwald222 diesel-electric are able to be smaller which helps a ton with detection not to mention they can shut down more systems while you always need stuff running to keep the reactor cool on a nuclear powered sub.

That "debt" is practically meaningless. It doesn't mean what many people think it means. They think it's like a citizen borrowing money from a bank and having to pay it back. It doesn't work that way.

@@fluffylittlebearthe 900 billion in interest a year seems to disagree

@@shag139 That's about 3% of our yearly GDP. We spent more than 900 billion just on our military in 2023.

Interest on the national debt is basically equal to inflation. You can own some of that national debt by buying US bonds, and it's the "safe" investing that is recommended to retirees, because it generally provides less benefit than investing in the stock market, but is more stable- the US will pay you a guaranteed 2-3%, while the stock market will pay ~6-8%, but you have the risk of bear periods like 2008 or 2020, where cashing out stocks will net you a loss (or a bigger loss if you bet on individual stocks that do terribly). Meanwhile, the dollar loses 2-3% of it's value annually (slightly more during/post COVID, but it's back to 3-4% now and has mostly stabilized). Holding US debt keeps you essentially even or only barely ahead in money, and the US borrows money in today's money and pays out in future USD, so the money it pays out is worth less than the money it borrows, and the "interest" is essentially free.

After watching this video. Who exactly is going to come to collect?
