@@kuhluhOGdue to Hawaii not being a state when the treaties founding NATO were ratified. Other member nations wrote in a provision specifically excluding attacks on Hawaii triggering article 5. Not that any of them would currently use that to stay out of the action. It's just in the treaty as a specific exclusion.
@@kuhluhOG Ya technically when Article 5 was finalized they were not a full state they are classed as "territory" along with guam and Midway which also would not be protected by article 5
Well, as soon as Russia's soldiers stop throwing anti-tank rocket launchers at squirrels and getting themselves unalived, then MAYBE it'll happen. But so far, it's Ukrainian Squirrels 1, Second Largest Army in Ukraine 0.

Japan's been gearing up it's military as well, the band is getting back together, which is... terrifying to think about. Then again, the US could probably 1v4 all of them with it's current military strength so that's not saying much I suppose.
@@ComotoseOnAnime And unless I've really missed something, the band, as you say, isn't aiming for Britain, France or the USA this time. *Russia* had better watch out though.

Russia: Loses all positions in the Pacific within the first week and starts running for it's life back to it's homeland.... USA: "Perhaps I was wrong."
This is tickling my brain because I swear that Yamamoto was the only individual with authority at the time that *didn't* want to attack pearl harbor. He literally wasn't the one who made that mistake.
In Yamamotos defense, he didn't exactly have an option. He was voluntold to plan the attack and carry it out. Even he was like "dude, do you know how many guns those people have? Japan being "the" Pacific power just is it my guys." He did as he was told anyways knowing it would be the death of him.
@@shawnm1902 His mistake was following orders. And if you want a real laugh so hard you cry story about Russia, look up the 2nd pacific squadron. It was a complete disasterpiece.
You’re correct, his not quite exact word give or take a few boiled down to “If I do this for your stupid plan I can buy you a few months of running roughshod over the Pacific. After that all bets are off, not that’s not a polite suggestion, yes, that’s a time limit. Good ole Yamamoto was basically the only person involved who remembered that America had shipyards, and wasn’t so blinded by racism (to the point the Imperial Japanese basically viewed all foreigners as actual damn near literal NPCs) Personally I entirely attribute his demise to his superiors running him (and the rest of the navy) ragged straight into the grave. So pretty much exactly modern Japanese work culture but VINTAGE!
You're right Hawaii is not protected by Article 5, due in main part to the fact that term "Article 5" basically a synonym of "The United States is going to kick your ass"
@@shanehaworth6090 it's still part of the united states, so I dont see how it wouldnt bring an reaction and probably immediately make it an 2 front war for russia?
@@mikedevries7927 Article VI of the NATO treaty defines the areas protected. For the United States and its territories, that means "North America" which does not include Hawaii. US Military forces get covered in the Med, Atlantic Ocean north of the Tropic of Cancer, and when operating in the territories of a NATO member. The reason for that was the US didn't want to see Article V getting invoked to help (for example) Britain defend its colonial claims in Botswana. Keep in mind, the NATO treaty is from 1949. Botswana for example, wasn't given independence from the UK until 1966.
Remember, the Italians revolted and invited in the American soldiers. During that invasion, very few Italians (without a German gun to their head) fought Americans. In fact that’s where the Americano comes from.
I mean by the time America landed in Italy the war was lost already and people knew it so morale was really low, my grandpa was stationed in Western Sicily and him along all soldiers stationed with him including officers just left their positions and went home after the Americans had cut them off from the rest of Italy. We're one of the few countries for which WW1 was bloodier and more hearth felt, WW1 was the giant conclusion of the Italian-Austrian wars and of Italian emancipation from the Hasburgs, WW2 was just Mussolini's failed gamble on Hitler.
a similar quote, by Douglas Adams: "The major problem-one of the major problems, for there are several-one of the many major problems with governing people is that of whom you get to do it; or rather of who manages to get people to let them do it to them. To summarize: it is a well-known fact that those people who must want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it. To summarize the summary: anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job. To summarize the summary of the summary: people are a problem."
I'm picturing the Admiral Kuznetsov coming over the horizon in the Pacific, burning mazut in beautiful weather, without realizing every Cargo Cult satellite and beyond was already on their 3rd bag of popcorn. It's beautiful! 😂
They use words like "would", "could", and "may" so often in that article that it makes me think this is an early April fools prank. Nevermind that there is exactly 1.5 paragraphs of substance hidden in 10 paragraphs of useless fluff and pure speculation, this appears to be about a speculative report on a UFO spotted in 2017. TLDR: what the article _actually_ is, is speculation on a preliminary draft of a speculative report about a singular UFO spotted nearly a decade ago that may or may not have been extrasolar in origin, and appears to have had its orbit affected by "something other than gravity". Basically, it's complete and utter horseshit IMHO.
Am astronomer at a scientific observatory, this is my favorite line from that article. “Astronomers would not be able to notice the spray of mini-probes because they do not reflect enough sunlight for existing survey telescopes to notice them.” Uhhuh, so would it not be putting out any electromagnetic radiation at all? Or any kind of radiation? Cus ya know, we look at more... much much much more than just the visible spectrum there Uncle Sam. Both close range (within our solar system) and at ranges that would make you question your understanding of reality (a couple months ago I imaged an extra-galactic phenomenon that happened before the creation of our solar system, the expelled radiation just now reached us).
@@habitual_linecrosser Love your content. Ya the target was a jet of gamma radiation caused by a Gamma Ray Burst, if you like big booms google that shit there ain't no bigger boom. It was estimated to have originated around 11 billion light years away, if you think of this as a measure of time instead of distance it took these gamma particles around 11 billion years to reach our 4.5 billion year old solar system.
@@habitual_linecrosser Love your content. Ya so was alerted of a stream of gamma radiation which was assumed to have originated from a Gamma Ray Burst, if you like big booms google that term there is no bigger boom than that. The origin was calculated to be about 11 billion light years away, so if you think of that in terms of time instead of distance it took 11 billion years to reach our 4.5 billion year old solar system.
Considering the whole music sub-genre that is just people remixing the electromagnetic recording of planets in to audio and making an ambient track out of it, id be suprised if Earth was not able to hear everything screaming in the solar system
I'm AMAZED that you didn't take the opportunity to mention that our new Frigates are an ITALIAN design being built by the US subsidiary of an ITALIAN shipbuilder? I mean the "Leave the Bofors (they'll use the Mk110 57mm) but take the cannoli" style gags would be to easy!!!!!!
Italy's always been a pretty underrated naval power. Third-largest fleet in Europe, 8th in the world, one of only a half dozen carrier powers, some of the best surface combatants around, and they even develop most of their own tech.
Finally, Italy makes an appearance. My beloved homeland. So, for context. Our defence minister has seen how much we were relying on NATO partners for our defence and decided that he hated that, so he's modernising most of our armed forces. There shall come a day when British naval mismanagement will catch up to them and with our reforms we shall finally overtake the British Navy as the best in Europe [France is also there, but they basically use the same shit we do, so I'd argue we're tied]. We've already been assigned as the new leaders of the Red Sea operation.
I love how our government is casually acknowledging the existence of aliens and how they could be in our system and the rest of us is like "thats normal, this decade is just weird and we're used to it"
Govt: "Aliens might exist" Public: "I've seen enough video games and R34 to say either we're going to fight it or frick it, but either way we're getting our Fs in. "
With both a Hawaiian invasion and aliens being mentioned at the same time, I can't believe the first thing that came to mind was that Battleship movie from years back.
I was at a hornet squadron during one of the big eclipses. For some reason, every pilot was suddenly mission ready and fighting to go on a boring cross country. They launched and they chased the eclipse shadow as far as they could. What an amazing moment.
That article is definitely out there, but if true, those aliens are about to find out that America is the final boss of this solar system. We are, in fact, the main character
I don't know what Russia is on about, Alaska and Hawaii are armed to the teeth for a reason. It's to keep from making the same mistake Japan made in 1941.
The only potential target there for our nukes is the naval base. I really don't understand why the author is presenting that Russia has any intentions to attack Hawaii. It makes no sense
Also, both are parts of the USA in full… doesnt that include them getting the full benefits of Article 5 just like every other nation, state, or province of signatory nations? Or was i under a misunderstanding?
PoV: you attacked Hawaii Good news(?): there is enough ambiguity that NATO art. 5 will most likely be cockblocked. Bad news: *Why do I hear the boss music?*
@@AvatarVader I looked it up and Hawaii is not covered by Article 5, but Alaska is. It has something to do with geography and history. It doesn't change the fact that USA would retaliate if anything happed to Hawaii.
Wait so is the band getting back together but this time they got the actual allied powers in on it as well. *checks on Spain to see if their having another civil war again*
@@kristiandahl1310 ...wait a minute... Germany, Italy, Japan and Finland are on the same team again (finland joined the axis in WW2 for protection against Russia) but this time they're also on the same team as basically every nation from the Allies, (barring maybe some balkan/baltic countries and Russia). Man, people apparently really want to speedrun the end of WW3
Well cats do eat dogs. Bobcat and any other big cat will snatch one up when they can But no one will ever believe Russia being good at war for a very long time of ever now
We are in the boonies of the galaxy. There are only three reasons ANYONE goes to the boonies: they’re looking for something, they’re running from something, or they’re hiding from something.
It is only slightly less lopsided than when North Korea was threatening to nuke Guam. Was just "You go ahead and do that. You will live just long enough to deeply regret doing that." Same vibe, but with fewer civilian casualties. So good on Russia for being less awful than North Korea!
@@aidenfisher2399 TLDR, they call it the "Oumuamua." And they throw theories about how it "could" be a craft, and they want more of your money to decide if its true or not.
@@OddlyIncredible Russia will survive, geographically at least (unless there's a way to delete a continental landmass that large without obliterating complex life). Significant chunk of population will survive too. It'll be a humanitarian catastrophy, sure, but I hope everyone learned after the 90s that you don't feed Russia till after they give up the nukes and pretense of being anything more than a gas station with aspirations.
Imagine the one poor dumb bastard living under a rock who made his yearly migration back to civilization, heard all the conspiracy theories bouncing around, heard 'solar eclipse', rolled his eyes, went outside to check and went fuckin' blind.
Had a funny conversation with a navy guy in at a bar on Nawilliwilli who does radar defense. (i dont know the technical term) He said its the most boring job for the most part, but it gets fun when the Russian and Chinese "fishing" boats with no fish or fishing gear. They send jets out to buzz the boats, get em to surrender, then send em back home after questioning. My favorite part was that qhen the guys dont give up, the keep buzzing the boat until rocks back and forth enough to knock everyone overboard and a navy boat has to go iut and rescue them.
It would be fun if you mentioned that Italy (Fincantieri) Is building america's next gen ships based on our fremms. Greetings from pastaland, we'll stay on your side this time 😂
I have had a stroke, organ failure, and a pacifist. Not from not fighting but because after two home invasions and seeing a suicide I wanna spend as much time as I can with my daughter and lady. But please, if even I feel like I’d go to war over it, don’t touch Hawaii.
Bro any American would go to war to defend her sure we got our problems but like HLC said 50 wartribes in a trench coat and if you beat up on of the war tribes. Well imagine beating up someone in the bar and beginning to celebrate only to realize several other people slowly start reaching for anything that isn’t bolted down.
Considering how many times they have seen or heard of one happening. I understand why they don't care. The last one was in 2017. And many before that. With nothing happening. When I was in 2nd grade I only cared because we got a break to watch it. And that was 20+ years ago
For those that don't know (I didn't before this & had to Google it myself) the reason Hawaii isn't cover is to due with it becoming a state 10 years after the Washington Treaty & the fact it's not a part of the North American continent. Weird that they haven't amended that yet.
For once I woke up today with fairly clear skys over S/E Michigan which in itself is strange in April. In fact I can't even watch the eclipse because I gave my welder and the rest of the acc. away and didn't buy any eclipse glasses because.....Michigan. *update So much for not being cloudy, Michigan comes through again....at being an asshole!
What actually is the Hawaii loophole? Since I was under the impression that since it is a part of the US it would count as the US being attacked triggering Article 5.
@@Zfish43456I think it has to do with the specific wording of the NATO treaty. As during signing multiple European countries still had colonies, and at the times the USA was anti-colonial (partly for good morals and partly because it would strengthen their position vis a vis European states). So a provision in article 5 is that it only applies for possessions in Europe and North America / above a certain latitude. This is one of the reasons why in the Falkland War, Britain fought alone without the rest of NATO being called in. It’s also why during the decolonization wars of the 50’s and 60’s, no American or European state helped the colonizer states to keep their colonies. And why today all European states that have possessions in the Caribbean or other overseas possessions, they themselves are solely responsible for their defense. I suppose that Hawaï may also be outside of the defined area. Though I’m pretty fucking sure that the rest of nato would still join in, because a lack of obligation does not mean it’s forbidden to join. And giving the USA a helping hand in beating Russia is probably worth a favor or 2 in the future
“An armed attack on one or more of the Parties is deemed to include an armed attack on the territory of any of the Parties in Europe or North America,” Article 6 says. It also says any island territories must be in the North Atlantic, north of the Tropic of Cancer. Article 4 says members will consult when “the territorial integrity, political independence or security” of any member is threatened. Article 4 should cover any situation that could affect Hawaii.
Hawaii has historically significance for many members of NATO. An attack on Hawaii would invoke an allied response similar to Article 5. For certain, France would come to our defense because Pearl Harbor was what led to the liberation of France and Europe.
oh christ, just when I thought I'd seen all the videos on this channel , I find another. However I've gone to seeing them all more than once and still laugh my ass off, so thanks.
Russia attacking Hawaii... not sure if he knows that Hawaii airspace is patrolled by 'the kid'. The kid would get his chance to intercept if they 'TOUCH THE FKN BOATS'
