If we were invaded by an enemy, we would stand together no matter our internal differences.

Did the narrator say that the US has dozens of military bases around the world? How about hundreds.

I'm saying this right now that if we ever were invaded, I would happily join the fight alongside my fellow Americans and protect our Homeland even if it means my death. 🇺🇲

We import oil because we make a lot of refined petroleum products. And just plain refining crude oil.

it is amazing to watch you over the years and see how much watching these videos has ejected you. you have be came very wise on a large range of subjects over the years. its great to see keep up the good work brother.

Most of us would be willing to protect our beautiful America with our lives.

China sees the US as both a competetor and a customer. While they might be a spanner in the works sometimes, China knows the US is a solid trade partner and that they facilitate global shipping by patrolling the seas. They might be adversarial but they arent jealous.

According to Forbes, "Looking at each state’s share of (military) recruits by the number of 18-to-24-year-olds in the state determines how well or how poorly a state is doing compared to its recruitable population. By that measure, the top five states in 2016 were: Hawaii, South Carolina, Georgia, Virginia and Florida. The five places with the smallest share of recruits were: Washington D.C., North Dakota, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and New York." In other words, the South has a military tradition, as well as a firearms tradition, that is by far the strongest in the US. And it's not a question of poverty. ". . . members of the U.S. Armed Forces are mostly drawn from the middle class, with the lowest income quintile being slightly underrepresented, and the highest quartile being even less represented, with about 17% of enlisted personnel coming from the top 20% of neighborhoods by income. Further, 92% of accessions to active duty have a high school diploma, compared to 90% of adults age 25 and older." So any invading enemy probably ought to avoid the region from Texas to the Atlantic and Tennessee to the Gulf coast. Maybe they could just grab New England and set up a defensive perimeter.

Most imported oil and natural gas comes from Canada

Most states have a militia clauses in their constitution, which is how most of the states raised troops during the civil war on both sides of the war. Regular citizens would be called in the case of a massive invasion as we are the "unorganized militia" "The militia of the Commonwealth of Virginia shall consist of all able-bodied residents of the Commonwealth who are citizens of the United States and all other able-bodied persons resident in the Commonwealth who have declared their intention to become citizens of the United States, who are at least 16 years of age and, except as hereinafter provided, not more than 55 years of age. The militia shall be divided into three classes: the National Guard, which includes the Army National Guard and the Air National Guard; the Virginia Defense Force; and the unorganized militia."

As for food... just in terms of wheat production in Washington state. In 2023, farmers in Washington state harvested 2.3 million acres of wheat which yielded 113,120,000 bushels (approximately 3,393,600 tons). Approximately 90% of that wheat is exported to other countries. If there was somehow a blockade of the US, we could simply use that wheat to feed our own population. Other countries would probably suffer much more, because they would not be able to buy US wheat.

The comment you read about California having coffee, well, comes from California. Yes there are coffee shops there just like everywhere around the world. As far as growing coffee, it would be Hawaii. No other state has the geography and climate to produce coffee.

Luka looking ripped! You been working out with your bro? Hahaha

He's wrong about the U.S. not being invaded during WW2 outside of Pearl Harbor. The Japanese occupied parts of Alaska, not to mention the Philippines & Guam, which were all U.S. territories at the time, no different than Hawaii (Guam still is.)

Regarding the Constitutional right to possess weapons, the second amendment states a militia of citizens being necessary for the secutity of being free (from tyrany from the Government).

This was fun to watch. 😊 Is the troll found frequently in comments to your reactions friendly banter or just another pesky nuisance?

The US definitely could feed itself if a blockade happened. The US uses 49,116,227 km^2 to grow food. For reference the U.K. as a whole is 244,276 km^2

On the oil front, there would not be a problem. We have plenty in the ground, we're just waiting on the politicians to stop blocking production because of environmentalist lobbying.

The visuals don't necessarily correspond to what the narration is taking about. This is especially visible when it talks about natural gas while showing the old style nuclear cooling towers. On the plus side, it's fairly on while talking military movements.

It would be as difficult to invade the UK today as it was in WWII. That had t changed at all

We should do more as a country to improve our freight rail (and just general rail infrastructure). We have the most expansive freight rail network in the world, but freight rail companies do a shit job of maintaining the rail they were given by the government. The federal government gave all the rail of defunct passenger rail companies to these freight rail companies because they were thought to have been more solvent and capable of maintaining the rail! Now, a lot of the rail is significantly warped from old age and clearly no will exists to fix the issues. A lot of freight rail companies have removed double-tracked sections because it's too expensive to maintain double the track, which increases congestion on many segments of single-tracked routes and makes certain routes half as useful. And freight rails and passenger rail often overlap by design. The freight rail leases the use of the tracks to Amtrak, our public-private passenger rail service. Amtrak, receiving taxpayer money, is often paying extortionate fees to use the tracks and are not given priority over freight traffic, which is an insult to the American taxpayer that has done so much for the freight rail companies by giving the tracks to the freight rail companies and then paying those lease payments for passenger rail for decades. Anyone that has taken an Amtrak route in the US and has experienced a double-digit hour delay can vouch for this. There is no good reason for our rail network to be in such a state of disarray that people die from derailments as often as they do. We could have the best highway system in the world and ALSO the best rail network in the world, but we need to give a more than 1% effort on rail. I'm not a train nerd and love my car, but this is just common sense.

Russia, China and North Korea consider extremely small vessels as part of their naval fleet numbers, such as fishing boats lol. The U.S. doesn’t do this. They are #1 when it comes to the amount of navy ships.

We are all packing! Even us lib cali women.

If I couldn't get parmigiano reggiano due to a blockade I'd have to demand the US surrender.

I’m just shocked only 55% said they would stay & fight if the country was invaded. Only reason I could see that is if a person had kids or were cowards.

Military expert !!!😊

Joulsy!😊

Liar! See that smirk! Did you see that?😊

If looked like you did a line while filming this video. Hope not but get some sleep

Tell us something we don’t know Einstein!!!😊

And the red eyes and you constantly rubbing your eyes and nose doesn't help

You paused the video....a snorting sound....and then you rubbed your nose....maybe edit it

Russian history terrible 1914-1991. US history much better in the over the same period.

Did you say that Britain was never invaded in WW2????? dude, Britain was destroyed by Germany in WW2...London was crushed.
