British Couple Reacts to US enemies are not gonna like this video... 

"This is America. We don't make sense, we make dollars." - The Fat Electrician RU-vid channel.

During World War 2, Japan’s Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto said: "You cannot invade mainland United States. There would be a rifle behind each blade of grass."

We in America aren't in fear of foreign invasion in a conventional sense. We have more heavily armed civilians and seasoned veterans than anywhere else in the world. Our Navy is intended for two purposes, to be able to project force around the globe in short order and to protect commerce on the seas.

American Mid-Westerners: "It's only four hours drive, so why fly?" We even laugh at ourselves how willing we are to avoid flying.

Back in the 50's or 60's, there was a high ranking Soviet officer that defected to the U.S. As he was being debriefed, he was asked what the Soviet plan was to invade the U.S. mainland. He laughed and said that it would be foolish and suicidal to do that seeing that "Your citizens are armed! That would be like fighting the world's largest standing military." "Smart" people.....those Russians.

An hour drive is our daily commute to work here in the US. Sometimes farther. 2 hours spent in our cars everyday just to get to and from our jobs. Lol

I love how she asked, “if you lived in America would you own any guns”? You without any hesitation, “ya 100%”!!!!!!

The world relies on the US to keep shipping open and safe around the world. Thats why our navy is so large.

China's navy is mostly made up of coastal ships, not deep bluewater ships. They have more ships, but we have larger tonnage (bigger)in our ships.

People tend to forget part of the reason we spend so much money on the military as our GDP is so much higher than everybody else's. It's really only about 3.5 % what we spend on military.🇺🇸

Famous RU-vid BRIT Laurence Brown said "The Difference between Americans and Brits is Americans think 100 Years is a long time, and Brits think 100 Miles is a Long Way!"

Hearing you say an hour drive is long distance is so funny to me as an American 😂 i drive an hour to work and back every day 😂 when i lived in North Carolina id visit my wifes family in Upstate NY and we would drive nonstop for 13 hours 😂

The US is self-sufficient in oil and gas. We do not have to import any. Since we pioneered fracking we are the largest producer of oil in the world.

16:00 Yes we import antimony from outside, that doesn't mean that we DON'T have any antimony resources left. Those mines were closed NOT because we ran out. They were closed because it's cheaper to import them than to extract and refine them ourselves. 😉 Oh another point: this happened only in January this year (2024) long after this video was made. Lithium has been discovered in the USA and initial reports suggest that they're HUGE deposits. This means we're no longer dependent on importing lithium.

An interesting fact not included: The first ever shoot down of a satellite was performed by the US way back in the 1980's.

One of the reasons we have the strongest Navy is that because we have to cross two Oceans in order to project power or fight overseas

Thr cannonball record from New York to Los Angeles is around 25 hours. That's with a modified car with extra fuel tanks.

The reason that the US has such a powerful navy and airforce is that it has to go across those oceans itself to get to a war, it has to do something no other nation or group of nations can do.

You should check out How Geography Made The US OP

As admiral Yamamoto said, "There would be a gun behind every blade of grass".

I drove with someone from L.A. to Miami. It took FOREVER to get across Texas, but the food was great!

No one would ever be stupid enough to try to invade the U.S.

You guys are fun to watch, liked and subscribed!

Fun fact: china may have shot down one of their satellites with a missile but the US shot down one of our own satellites with a fighter jet

US is approximately 2800mi coast to coast. So about 2 days travel if you drive non-stop. 18:00 -The USAF shot down one of our own satellites in the 1980s to show the USSR we could do it to theirs and the US Navy did it again in 2008 using a missle cruiser

"Everyone has a gun" XD Yes it's a requirement as soon as you get off the plane here's your gun and a hamburger XD

The answer to "who made nukes????" literally won Best Picture of the Year at the Academy Awards and BAFTA.....among others.....I generally like you two, but sometimes you just gotta get a fuckin clue 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

We closed our mines for that mineral to make sure we do not run out. If war comes, we will re-open them.

While moving in Jan 2021, I drove from San Francisco to Corpus Christi, Tx via LA and Vegas, and it took me 2-1/2 days, including overnight stays. Exactly 2000 miles door to door. Yes, a few speed limits may have been "bent" along the way. 😊

Lake Superior "never gives up her dead"

We here in America are a oil exporter. California, Texas, Alaska are where most of our oil wells are.

The US is on the verge of not being the world's police. Believe me, the world will miss us when we are gone!

The greatest logistical flex ever, Fat Electrician's video about the UK and US busting the Berlin blockade, is exceptional

Behind every blade of grass. Also, You should react to the cannonball run. It’s when people drive from one coast to another as fast as possible. I think the fastest was done in a day or something

The interstate highway system was built in 1950s under president Eisenhower who was Commander of Allied Forces in Europe during WW II. It crosses the entire country north to south in the East coast and in the West coast. Then there a other highway system that crosses the country from East to West in the northern part of the country and again in the southern part of the country. It was designed for military mobilization of troops and requires ability to land aircraft every few miles throughout the system.

The neighboring city of where i attended college made it law that every head of household must own a gun. Crime rate dropped 89% and they went 25 years with no murders in a city that's just north of Atlanta.

I think as an American, I forget how massive the United States is. I only realize it when I see others who don't live in the USA. it takes 3 full days to get from one west coast to the east coast (across the country) BUT that would be a trip with no stops at all. lots of people are travel enthusiasts and definitely do go on these very long roadtrips. driving across the country like this usually takes more than three days because no one drives in one sitting, there are always going to be stops whether you want to or not. but its not normal for someone to just say "I'll see you soon, I'm going to drive from Los Angeles to New York." You definitely have to do quite a bit of preparing and planning to do so. It takes more than 10 hours just to drive from the top to bottom of California alone so you can only imagine the great length of driving across the United States

Omg shes seen it!!! Aint nobody got time for that lol oh lord Jesus it was a fire 😂

You can travel 4.5 days from Virginia to Los Angeles, if you plan your route properly, but it's usually 5 to 7 days with both drivers stopping to sleep at the same time. Usually, you want 2 primary drivers + a 3rd (3rd usually can't be trusted without GPS maps)😂

this is an older video and its probably been answered but From San Fracisco CA to Houlton Maine is about 50 hours by car. 3.443 miles. Also depends on your route, may be shorter, may be longer. (that 50 hours is non stop driving by the way)

4 million veterns live in Texas, most have been in combat. Best home field advantage ever

Love your content! Much love and respect! I live in North Carolina and my parents Live in Pennsylvania and it takes me between 5 and a half hours to 6 and a half hours to travel that distance! Now to go from the east coast to the west coast driving would be about 36 hours!

The U.S.A produces enough oil to sustain us at a "fighting stance". The oil we do import is only done for reasons of economics (it's cheaper) and reserves our own resources for when the outside sources become "problematic".

There is an invisible army of military veterans with prior battle experience extending back 60 years & most all of them armed & willing

As an American one of my favorite jokes: "Whats the biggest difference between Europe and the US? Europe thinks 100 miles is a long distance, US thinks 100 years is a long time."

One thing us Americans love is our "road trips"! Just make sure your vehicle is reliable, comfortable and the stereo system is up to par! 😂

While working as an OTR truck, I've driven coast to coast many times. Within the time regulations, it takes about 5 days. When I've done it in one trip, it takes about 2 days.

Many years ago I drove from Miami Florida to Los Angeles California. It took me 5 days to do it.

Boston, MA to Vernon, CA was 2 days 10 hours with a CO 🚛 Driver. We stopped only to fuel, shower, restroom and replenish supplies.

I drove from northern Florida to the western Rockies in roughly 34 hours. I was young but did it in 2 days. It was something like 2400 miles total I think.

As a truck driver, I drive from California over to Pennsylvania usually takes 4 1/2 days

from san fran to ny 42 hours straight thourgh..no construction and best speed limits..which means about 3-4 day.. We drove from ohio to texas to see my aunt it took two days with stopping to sleep and eat

New yorker here, I regularly make trips to columbus ohio, and it takes about 22 hours to leave my house and come back, and thats WITHOUT breaks, besides fuel and maybe a 10 to 15 minute stop at a diner or a mcdubs sometimes. My dad drove a full sized car made of legos from upstate NY to LA for the Cars 2 movie premiere event in about 40 hours if I remember right. Maybe 50. Texas alone can take like 15 hours to cross from its furthest points. You mentioned 40 miles is long distance - that was half of my daily commute to work when I was in my early 20s going from Glens Falls to Latham. To me, a long distance trip is over 400 miles, one way 😂 Edit: we also probably have enough oil reserves to supply the rest of the world for at least a century, with serious rationing in mind. We probably have enough untapped oil to supply the world for the next millennia.

I drove from Mas a two ships to California at 60 MPH . It took a week. 3,200 miles.

I moved from Buffalo NY to San Francisco I drove 11 hr shifts and made it there in about 2.5 to 3 days. the interstate 80 got me all the way. around 3,000 miles. I think my actual milage was 1,700 a bit closer to 1,800

I drive 40 miles one way to work then back after work. I've driven from San Francisco, California to Fort Collins, Colorado in 26 hrs straight.

i drove truck back in the 80's you can do it in 48-55hrs. driving striaght i-80 or interstate 80 it goes from ny to san fran California but laws now make it 4-5 days trip

i live and work San Francisco bay area people drive like 2hrs each way every day. i moved from Buffalo NY to sf bay area in 2.5-3 days basically nonstop driving i drove the i80 the whole way

When I would go on vacation part of my trip was driving so I could just see our beautiful country!

FYI I drove with a friend from Monterey CA to FT dix NJ in 72 hours

I have driven from Los Angeles to Maine in 4 days. That’s stopping at night, about 14 hours per day and rest stops. But that’s pushing it hard. About 4 to 5 days is a comfortable drive time.

Actually, the U.S. wasn't prepared to go to war in most of the 20th century. After every war, WW1, WW2, Korea, we stood down our armed forces. It took us some time to ramp up our military in trained men and materiel. We vowed to never being in that position again. Vietnam was the first time we had the military ready to go.

I'm in USA. I live in fremont Nebraska. Possibly the safest place in the entire world. When there is a big event they fly the president about 40 minutes from here.

When I was a kid, my parents traded driving duties while the other slept to go from Seattle WA. (West coast) to NY (east coast) and it took 3 and a half days with the car never shutting off except for gas stops.

Takes days to drive across the country. Just going across Texas east to west would take 2-3 days of driving non-stop day and night. Speed limits between 65 to 85+ miles per hour.

During WWII, the US provided the UK with food, including 'Special American Processed Meat's, otherwise known as SPAM

I drove from Shreveport, Louisiana to San Francisco, California and it took me a bit over 30 hours.

at the shortest route going from San Francisco California to Houlton Maine it would take 50 hours no stopping at all using Interstate I-80 East & I 90 East traveling a total distance of 3,443.7 miles

Texas and Alaska most oils comes from,there’s oil jackpot deposits peppered through out the country,both coast give oil as well!!!!

"We don't have time for that" so cute

It's about a five to six day drive across the country depending on traffic, etc.

@14:52 To respond to the question regarding oil sourcing, we import a lot of oil from places like Niger and Ecuador and a dozen other places but that's a matter of policy, not need. We have money, so we burn other peoples' oil and keep our own. It's estimated there is more oil under the Dakotas (two of our states in the middle bit) than Saudi Arabia had before they started pumping.

Dude I bought my daughter a shotgun for her 18th birthday. Lol

Made the drive several times. 2-3 days. 8-10 hrs a day. AWESOME DRIVE!

General Eisenhower traveled East coast to West coast as a lieutenant. It took weeks by truck . When he became president he created the Eisenhower interstate system. In Colorado we have the Eisenhower tunnel on his route to LA.

It takes about three days four days if you make multiple stops to get across from say Virginia to California.

Cross-country (8 hrs driving per day) took me 5 days (4 motel overnight stays).

25 miles? That's an afternoon shopping day here. The U.S. is currently the largest producer of oil, and has been for probably over a decade. And we haven't even come close to tapping all our sources for it. East and West Coast is pretty much untouched for sea drilling. We've got untapped supplies in Alaska, and other areas. And that doesn't even go into technology to reopen expired sites to get every last drop available that couldn't be conventionally. The tech is there and in use already. Hydraulic fracturing. And the U.S. is one of if not the largest natural gas producer as well. Although Russia probably has more potential supplies there. China's navy is by sheer numbers, outnumbering the U.S., but most of it is much, much smaller coastal patrol ships.

I’ve done Arizona to Florida in 16 hours.

From Maine to San Francisco it is 3282 miles or 5282 kilometers it would depend on how fast you drive so if you went 65 mph non stop would take 50. 5 hours!

5 days across Usa.. from NYC to San Francisco. You have to sleep. I've done it at least times.

A LOT more than a couple days lol

There are highways and freeways in the United States. Freeways otherwise known as Interstate are roads that go from state to state. There are multiple interstates, ones that go east to west and north to south. If you were to drive from one coast to the other (San Francisco to NYC) it would take about 48 hours straight through. The speed limit on the highways vary but rarely go under 65mph or 104kph to 75mph or 120kph. That distance is roughly 2600 miles or close to 4200km.

Owning a firearm is a 2nd amendment right. Its part of our constitution rights.

I know in Texas we don’t actually measure distance in miles but in hours…for example Dallas Tx is 3 1/2 hours from Houston Tx.

Driving from San Francisco to New York is around 43 hours

I live in DC and my in-laws are in Louisiana. 1,100 miles (16.5 hours). I can drive that in 1 day, 2 days if i have my kids with me as they need to get out and stretch overnight, since they are small. Alot of Americans can do 12-15 hours in day. Love a long road trip.

If you drove non stop from Houlton Maine the last town on I-95 in the Northeast to San Diego the most Southwestern part of the US mainland and the end I-5 it would take you roughly two days and 1 hour. So realistically with rest, food, and gas refills youd take a few more days to actually do that trip

I've driven across the US twice. When I did it non-stop, it took me 23 hours I think. However, there many rest stops on the high way with free bathrooms and plenty of parking. These rest stops were designed to prevent motorists from having accidents from being tired. These rest stops are marked on the highway bill boards showing the miles to the next one and what exit. One could even sleep in the car overnight.

It takes 3 and 1/2 days if you drive from 6am till 12:am

Well if ur sleeping, about 3 full days. I'm in Michigan and it would take 3 days because I like to sleep. Truck drivers can go from New York to Los Angeles and the can do it in 3 day and be back in New York in a week

Going from one coast to the other takes 3 days. 2 if you never stop and some how don't run out of gas.

40 miles won't even get you from the north side of Houston Tx to the south side!!!! 870 miles from Beaumont Tx - to El Paso Tx 801 miles from the top of panhandle to Brownsville on Mexican border!!! which is same distance from El Paso to Los Angeles California!!!!

From New York City to San Francisco the drive time is about 48 hours

Another major river also flows into the Mississippi, the Ohio River.

I have crossed coast to coast by car three times. Once Florida to California. Once California to Georgia and once Florida to Washington state. It took a week stopping to sleep in a motel each night. Texas alone took 3 days 😒.

24hrs straight driving from the center of the USA to either coast... I've done it and its not fun 😵‍💫

If you were to drive from Northern Maine (far NE of the country) to San Diego, CA (far SW of the country), it is approx 50hrs of driving. But obviously you will have to stop periodically for sleep. So 4-5 days to travel across the country if you just do it at a normal pace. It's approx 3400 miles (almost 5400km)

Truckers can cross the continent in 2.5 days under normal conditions. Without commerce regulations we go faster. Big rigs can vary troops tanks and aircraft quickly. Our logistics flex is mad crazy.

Just to give some perspective, for a brief period of time my wife and I were living apart while I was in military training, and I was regularly driving from Fayetteville NC to Richmond VA. That's only one state away and it's about a 3 hour drive one way, 220 miles.
