France arguably has the most powerful military in Europe at the moment. They have more combat aircraft, frigates, and troops than the UK.

The British people are still have an imperial mindset and are in denial. They had better come to terms with the new reality they face. British politicians and especially pro-British news media (which is all of the media) never admit the truth about the real state of the country. You need only to take a close look at the nations economic performance and its huge domestic responsibilities as a welfare state to see that the numbers don't add up. The US and Britain have always stood side by side and confronted threats together. They are our closest partner and they keep the US from facing down threats alone. They have a well deserved reputation for meeting challenges on the battlefield. We need a well prepared and strong ally in Britain and not one that refuses to admit and address its weaknesses. Britain is still one of the more strategically important nations in the world.

Yeah being part of NATO is huge for guaranteeing safety. In the US this has caused some resentments towards europe though. A huge number of people are upset with european nations failing to meet NATO obligations because US tax payers feel like they're picking up the slack. Although the UK is one of the few countries that meets NATO obligations so that criticism is mainly aimed at the rest of NATO. What the UK does have is great special forces.

Of course, The U.S. likes being the NATO number one, but it doesn’t want to feel like it’s the only one.

It’s happening now y’all. Good luck my people

Image the British in the 18th century watching this. The British once had the strongest navy in the world and was very much a true naval power. However, when empires fell the ships weren’t needed for defending some far off land in Malaysia, New Zealand, Guyana, Ghana, or Kuwait. Not to mention that after world war 2 the Brits were more focused on ground wars then naval ones and after the “handed off” world power status to the United States they’ve greatly reduced their capabilities and have lost the touch of their glory days. As an American hopefully y’all can get your military in top shape. ❤

i find it hilarious as a non-british that one of the first thing you say is "the pubs are closing down" ahhahaha

Don't worry Tommies, we Dutchies and Estonians, Letvians, Lithuanians, Luxembourgers, Belgians and Danes will protect you when times get rough....

I thought their "plan" was simply call America.

The U.K had a world wide empire and lost it. The U.S. is heading in the same direction.

Ukraine doesn’t mind “end of life” munitions, Dave. Certainly not those well maintained. The U.S. just sent them some ATACMs which are nearly 30 years old. What did the Ukrainians promptly do? Wipe out a bunch of KA-52 attack helicopters at an airfield in a Russian occupied part of Ukraine.

It's not like the good old days when Great Britain won the Falklands War. But still glad we're allies! 🇬🇧 🇺🇸

Bible talks about the Battle of Gog and Magog. (Russia and Ukraine). Nostradamus talks about the great soaring eagle, the sleeping bear, the great flying dragon being a part of end times. Book of revelation talks about a 7 headed beast,(NATO). Seems we are headed for some tribulation

the end of the video shows the brits really are in denial

As an American, I think we need to take a backseat and keep our wallet in the back pocket. Likely to not happen but wishful thinking.

Argentines are gearing up to retake the Malvinas

Funny time to be watching this guys 😂

UK has nothing to worry about NATO would raise hell if any problems comes about

10,000 shells provided to Ukraine - US supplied over 1,000,000. damn

The US loves being at the top of NATO power. We dictate to the rest of the members what conditions they’ll accept.

I begin to question the wisdom of an expanded NATO more members means more possibilities to touch off a conflict, and of course we have an obligation to support all Nato members in case of Attack, then we have Turkey, a member which doesn’t really see itself as having anything in common with the west, they are friendly with Russia, openly support the Palestinian side in the Israeli/Palestinian conflict, criticizes us for supporting Israel, and supporting the Kurds, who ironically should bring about the same sympathy as the Palestinians

Europe has too long depended on the US to protect them. Few NATO nations spend the required 3 percent of their GDP to military spending as part of NATO.

The UK doesn't need a bunch of ground soldiers and tanks/ships they have America for that. The UK is more focused on intelligence, missiles, drones, and anti air defense systems probably.

You guys have some powerful allies. No worries! ❤

Not to be a doom and gloom type but, It might be a good idea to build up a stock pile if I were you guys.

Since Dave is so scared, why don’t he come over here to the US with us and you’ll feel safe.

19:57 Germany, Spain and Portugal are no match for France. France IS the most powerful military in Europe atm. C.f., the other reaction video you did about France's WW3 plan.

Wars speeds up technological progression as it becomes a necessity with its motivation being survival and desperation. What usually happens when human kind is pushed against the corner, its only way out is up.

To our brothers and sisters in the UK. The USA will not abandon you. However, we do have issues of our own.

This is why I think Trump was talking about pulling out of defense agreements across the globe. I don't think he was serious about it but I think it was about telling our allies to get their shit together and become more self-reliant instead of overburdening the US in case of conflict.

This videos too tough on you guys. In a hot war miracles of production occur.

I think "Threads" showed something of the UK plan.

Your cyber security actually is one of the best, just responding to that comment. As a sidenote, we know Britain won't be fighting alone, we all know the country that will be there with you

OB Daz, I'm afraid that during World War III, France will not say: "We surrender!" 🤷🏻‍♂😅France is currently very pro-Russian. President Macron held almost 100 hours of video calls with Putin following Russia's invasion of Ukraine. And for a long time he lobbied for this war to end on terms favorable to Russia.

Haven't you guys ever watched Threads??? Whatever their plan is... it's going to completely fall apart the moment the bombs start dropping

Happy DogFathers day! 10-20

The blokes 🙂🙂😟😟😯🫤

he is talking like these millitary spendings are surprisingly bad, they're not, all of the EU has lowered their spendings on millitary, which is a good thing, we don't want war, nuclear weapons is a big part of the budget being lowered on millitary, M.A.D is the most likely scenario in any major war to happen anyway. NATO is still pretty superior if they keep their internal peace. (with the US being the bigboy ofcourse)

🎉🎉🎉

Yeah, well, your special forces and intelligence angencies are among the best.

In WW3 the youth won't be a problem once their phones stop working and they're bored off their ass complaining about how much this sucks. Then picking up a gun or a hammer becomes a lot easier.

Ukrainian comedia finish? Western comedia?

Im an American im telling you guys were all screwed!

We gotcha!

Only gingers and cockroaches can survive a nuke.

Comedia today uk , usa vassal country

Step 1: call the Pentagon

I you haven't already have been stock piling at least 3 months worth of food that has a long shelf life for emergency, also water, good water filters, multiple ways to cook food, multiple ways to start a fire under wet/cold weather, then ya'll have been in LALA Land. You need ways to defend yourself and your family, ways to heat your home, extra blankets, sleeping bags and liners, a good amount of your personal and over the counter medications, antibiotics and the knowledge of when to use them. Remember you're on your own in times like these, and many will try to take away whats yours for themselves.

When Dave opens his mouth I get a headache.

All wars have one cause... money. Who controls the money? Bankers. As Richard Pryor once put it…. “It’s all about the Benjamins baby.”

Spending money on defense is such a waste.

It’s okay. You could take Canada easily; you have our blessing to go after our annoying northern neighbor.

I hated the last few words of the video. That's why I despise the brits so much. You think you've finally found good ones, but they're as bad as all others. I'm getting sick and tired of this white flag narrative, so here is a bit of history for you. During WW2, France had to defend the Netherlands, Belgium, the UK and France. Whilst the Dutch gave up to the invader, the French kept on fighting for the freedom of the Dutch in the battle of Zeeland for 3 more months. The British were under French command and, without receiving the order and without notifying French command, they decided to retreat to Britain, hence leaving the French and the Belgians to defend the English whilst they were retreating during the battle of Dunkirk. To quote a german general in Dunkirk : "Despite our overwhelming numerical superiority, the French counter-attacked at several points. I can't understand how these soldiers, sometimes fighting at 1:20 odds, found the strength to attack. It's astonishing. I find in these soldiers the same ardour as in Verdun in 1916. We're not getting anywhere and we're suffering terrifying losses. [Dunkirk proved to me that the French soldier is one of the best in the world. The French artillery, so feared in 14-18, once again demonstrated its formidable effectiveness. Our losses were terrifying: many battalions lost 60% of their strength, sometimes even more!" General von Küchler, commander of the 18th Army of the Wehrmacht. France was then invaded and indeed collaborated with the invader, which is a complete stain on our history, but let's not forget the Netherlands is where the most je*s were deported compared to the amount of population. Little after France got invaded, the French fleet docked to a port in Algeria (former French colony) to keep the ships for liberation. The British navy arrived near the port (that was completely docked at port) and gave the French an ultimatum : either give the Brits the French ships away (because the French ships were technologically superior to the British ships and the Brits wanted them for the defence of their island), or get shot down. The French navy chose the last choice. (it precisely happened in Mers el-Kebir). So to summarize : France had to defend four countries (including itself), of which two of them gave up / retrieved, only to get almost their entire navy destroyed by an ally who, let's be honest, if it hadn't been for the German bombings on London wouldn't have moved a single toe to help liberate Europe. I am not diminishing the sacrifices that the English and Dutch have undergone in any ways, it's all politics, but in this story, the French were clearly the bravest. During the Korean War, the French were fighting in Indochina and Algeria (not saying it was justified, just to give context), so only 3.000 were sent to Korea. It has been reported by US soldiers that, at some point during fighting, the French ran out of ammunition. What they did to stop the enemy's progress is put their bayonets on their rifles and charged in direction of the enemy (c.f., Battle of Wonju). Out of a total strength of 3,000 men over a period of three years, the French battalion will have lost 263: this represents a loss of around 10%, which is the biggest loss among foreign contingents. The French UN battalion received two Presidential Commendations (awarded to units of the United States and allied countries for extraordinary heroism in action against an armed enemy) from the Republic of Korea, three Presidential Commendations from the United States, and was cited five times in the French Army Order. These are a mere few events of bravery French soldiers have done, and as a final reminder : France as a country has won the most battle of all countries in the world.

It's about to happen. There's no way around it. I hope you keep arms at home!

Steer clear of politics, Red.

The aircraft stats are well off as I assume are many other parts of the video

That vid was like half propaganda. War spending is desperately needed cause Russia is coming? Hahaha

This video is cringe.

The US is in a decline god help us all !!!!!!

seems like the whole western world is just decaying honestly

But i tought capitalism was good, guys. What happened 😂
