Yes, yes we could. Without even breaking a sweat. The geography is a nightmare for any invasion force and the video doesn't mention that if they came through Texas, it would be what we Texans have been waiting for for decades.

[@MrCharlieBananas]

Exactly, I'm from the UK and love Texan people I have friends from Austin and Dallas. I'm pretty sure Texas alone could deal with Russia!

[@apex_blue]

I from Texas and can say I can be a sniper which is basically like hunting waiting still for an entire day not moving a muscle or making any noise for the entire day, and shooting with long range accuracy I bet I could be a sniper and I’m only a teen.

[@apex_blue]

@riptide 23 I never said I will be good enough right now but already have the traits of one plus, with the training they get probably

[@apex_blue]

@riptide 23 yeah but the concept is the same I watch some snipers stories and they are pretty similar to hunting just with extra steps and way longer ranges

[@apex_blue]

@riptide 23 I know and I not saying I want to become a sniper I’m saying I have the traits not that I’m the best and relative to real snipers not even close to decent.

[@jeknechtphotography7106]

Something this video doesn’t mention is that aside from the military, even if an invasion did by some slim chance, Americans for the most part know their neighborhoods and terrain and about 72 million Americans are registered gun owners with at least 1 firearm and they will certainly defend their own home and property.

[@Pianomn626]

This is accurate. Of all of the privately owned firearms in the world, Americans own 84% of them. I've seen some people say that "Second Amendmenters" wouldn't jump in to the fight. I suspect that is false.

[@an_anishinaabe_son]

And millions more who are smart enough not to register their guns!

[@M4A3]

@@an_anishinaabe_son there is no such thing as gun registration. Exception being Class 3 items (full auto, short barrel rifles, short barrel shotguns). The 4473 form you fill out at your dealer, STAYS, at the dealer. However, I did many many form copies for the ATF, because they found a gun on a crime scene. They call the manufacturer, find out when and what distributor the gun went to. Then call the distributor, and find out when and which dealer it went to. They then call the dealer and ask to do a "trace". They provide you with a date and the serial number they are looking for. In the old days, we had to go through filing cabinets with thousands and thousands of forms to find it. Now you just enter the serial # in the computer, it gives you the number you assigned the 4473, go to the correct cabinet and pull it out. Sometimes they just want the purchaser's info, and sometimes they want it faxed. But there is no such thing as a gun registry, yet.

[@an_anishinaabe_son]

@@M4A3 yes, there is gun registration

[@braden9893]

@@M4A3 There definitely is a Gun registry, it just isn't mandatory to use. A gun is automatically registered to your name when purchased from a firearm dealer whenever the background check is processed. Private gun sales won't have the gun registered to your name unless you choose to do so. Most people do this so that they can recover their gun in the event it is stolen.

[@clsinds5876]

This is such outdated thinking. The entire US private gun Arsenal would be useless against high flying drone attacks. And all it would take is a successful attack on one of the dozens of data infrastructure locations located in each state to melt the internal organs of the entire population of the citizens for miles and all of the guns located in it simply due to the shear amount of radio frequency radiation that facility would release. (There is a reason they are concrete lined structures in mountains or a minimum of 4 stories below ground to minimize the amount of radiation that escapes.) If there was a war “on our soil” it would not be fought with man power on the ground it would be fought from remote locations miles away using satalites and drones and the citizens would be driven below ground taking cover from the debris falling as a result of US air counter attacks.

Even if a force was able to create and hold a beachhead, they would be in danger not only from US forces but the most heavily armed citizenry the world has ever known. Defending is always easier than attacking, and it is a lesson that the US and Russia have both learned in Afghanistan and the US in Vietnam where a bunch of guys in black pajamas fended off the worlds most powerful military. Any invading army would be spanked so badly by guerilla militia units that they would be demoralized and defeated very quickly. The thing is it would never get to that point because of modern technology. Any approaching vessels or aircraft would be lit up before they were even in visual range of the coast. The only chance they would have is to mass their forces in South America or Central America before making a push for the southern boarder, but few if any of their assets would be left to cross once they got there. Nope, the only threat to our homeland is either nuclear or biological warfare, and that wouldn't just be a threat to our existence, but humanity as a whole.

Literally, the only nation in the last few hundred years to consider an invasion of the United States was Nazi Germany, and those were the same tactical geniuses who tried to invade Russia in the winter. Even Japan, which is the only nation to launch a proactive attack on a US state, never intended to hold territory, merely destroy enough of the Pacific fleet to cripple operations for several years, giving Japan time to consolidate power in the region. Large nations, like the US, Russia, and China, are unbelievably hard to invade, with the US being the hardest, simply due to the massive water barrier (never mind several hundred million guns).

The county where I live in a invading army wouldn't make it to other side. Everyone around these parts is armed to the teeth. Sometimes it sounds like a war zone because so many people target shoot. It's music to my ears👍

There is a video about that called United States VS The World. Should be able to Google it or KZbin it and find it. It is a fascinating video nonetheless

[@CanadiansReact]

[@sweathawgboudreaux3887]

Isoroku Yamamoto was supposed to have said, “I would never invade America, there is a gun behind every blade of grass.” This was a serious consideration of the Soviets as well years later.

[@kylebarrett28]

Canada sold us out real quick lol

[@OGSontar]

Yeah, we're all armed. Heavily. It's the law: Every American must have at least a dozen guns. Well, there's a few of us that aren't allowed to have guns due to crimes, but they are the very small exceptions.

[@dhfyrydjfjd]

More worried about missiles! Not too worried about land invasions. ♡♡♡

[@markgerard5585]

Don't forget, our citizens have hundreds of MILLIONS of guns at our disposal. As far as the world. Every country needs and depends on oil. We are self sufficient. 50-75% of oil passes thru the middle east. We would render the oil fields useless and put out of commission. Lastly, a few tomahawks and ICBMs spread around for the fear factor would persuade most countries to call it quits!😢😃

[@matthewweng8483]

I just keep imagining an invading fleet getting brutally strafed by smart bombs and drones 500 miles off the coast... 25 if it’s on pay-per- view.

[@mikecalderon5251]

Even if it was the whole world, the fact remains, like it said on the video, how would they get here? No overseas transport capability. There is a US vs the world video you should check out.

[@wandaarganbright4056]

I don't think China or Russia could even invade Texas! The rest of the world, and even some of our states, don't understand Texas' rights and abilities within the USA. We have our own standing separate state militia with armament, our gun laws are governed by our state alone (and almost everyone in Texas owns several guns), we have plenty of our own money and Texans WILL fight for our own state! There are many more reasons but, those are just a sample. Texas is in a different class, legally, from the other 49 states. Did you know Texas can and does fly it's flag at the same height as the US flag? All other states have to fly theirs lower.

[@MichaelMorden]

“Their best bet is to dock in Houston Texas” So they were doomed from the start.

[@joelfogelsanger5773]

No nation in the world either independently or in combination with others would ever think of invading the United States. Other nations rely too much on the American economy to even consider that as an option. They would basically be committing suicide. As for Canada, America is your closest ally. We are more than just two countries who cooperate with each other. We are family. We are brothers. So much so that an attack on Canada would be considered an attack on the United States. Let the love flow from us Americans to our Canadian friends!

[@Cheekclapper5000]

Enjoy the blanket 🇺🇸

[@digitalviking3450]

I wonder if it were the other way around. What if the US stopped defending allies maritime trade routes and helping ally interests and became a hostile expansionist? I still think Canada would be safe, we like you too much. Lol

[@michaelsmith2924]

And even at that, Canada and Mexico do have working armies that could be rolled into 1 very large army, for the defense of the North American continent. Canada I have no doubt would have no issue with it. They have a well trained and well armed defense force as well.

[@robertmorris4680]

Texas citizens alone would be enough! God bless Texas!!!

[@texdoc89]

A gun behind every blade of grass, US gun owners alone have more rifles than the Marine Corps lol. Please give us Texans what we have been waiting for LMAO

[@gavinlinville9691]

Texas will be waiting. gate but with the Brittani mi from that one anime i think...

[@SideSwipeGTA]

Forget the Marines. U.S. gunowners outnumber every other military force combined.

[@ESUSAMEX]

I am sure the every armed American would be locked and loaded for battle against any nation at any time. The US population is about 330 million and there are about 400 million guns in civilian hands. I personally believe these gun stats are really low, because every time a Democrat threatens to halt gun sales and gun rights, Americans go out and purchase more guns and ammo. Hell, I know someone who owns over 100 firearms of all types himself. And no, he is not a prepper, but a collector and target shooter.

[@AmericaVoice]

100% correct, and that's just the arms the government even knows about, who knows the correct true count that isn't reported or known!

Canada 🇨🇦

[@BamaXander]

We absolutely could. As Japanese admiral Yamamoto (supposedly) said, "It is impossible to invade the mainland U.S.; there'd be a firearm behind every blade of grass". Our 2nd Amendment does a LOT to discourage such a thing, because then, an invading force doesn't just have to contend with the military (among other authorities) but, also, privately armed citizens and the militias that would crop up.

[@frankkoolosko4255]

People in this country have a scary amount of weapons and the ones that have multiple guns also have a stock pile of ammunition which is a real key.

[@russellgtyler8288]

[@againstalltyrants9001]

Even the entire world wouldn't be able to take the US mainland without a nuclear exchange. Even if you somehow beat the military, there are hundreds of millions of personally owned firearms and billions of rounds of ammunition. Beyond geographical challenge, states like Alaska, Montana, Wyoming, the entire south, etc would have massive militias hounding an invasion force constantly.

[@shawnadams1460]

This same group did a video on that exact same question. The first thing we did was take and disable the entirety of the middle easts oil feilds, then defended all the major shipping lanes, it brought the world's military to a grinding halt...lol.

[@aaronalkor]

This is why I believe, should the world come together into a Global Civilization, the US would be the perfect choice in commanding Military Forces, and safeguarding the Global Nation

[@shelaughs185]

Considering our current administration, it looks like we're relying on geography and an armed populous. That reminds me, I need to order ammo...

[@midgetydeath]

About carriers, currently we have eleven. It was supposed to be ten and for those to be phased out as the newest class of carrier was phased in...but we haven't phased out any of the Nimitz as new ones come in. So, it looks like we'll probably end up with twenty soon.

[@2009mechanic]

Watch the 2010 movie "Tomorrow , When the war began". It is the Australian version of Red Dawn with a few different plot twists. Most important is HOW and who they were invaded by to be undetected until it was much too late.

[@phanson8507]

Keep in mind that there are also more than 393 million civilian-owned firearms...More guns than people with a lot of us Vet that know how to use them.

[@Mace8388]

even with military power combined you would still have to deal with citizens that can easily be trained well enough to hold a pass or an area until reinforcements arrive. which would increase our capabilities by the sheer amount of weapons and ammo we have lol

[@LordGertz]

Funny enough there is US fiction literature, in several genres, that have parts of the US break off to join Canada. Most commonly its all or part of the US Pacific States. This is mainly due to the 60s-90s perceived view of the West Coast being more liberal (more Canadian or European like) than the rest off the country and writers on both sides of the political debate making their dream nation.

[@DrewAlphaable]

There are more firearms per capita throughout the US, it really doesn't matter what state is invaded first. Any invaders will face stiff resistance. The two places most likely to suffer occupation for any period of time would likely be Alaska or Hawaii, and only because they are so remote from the contiguous 48 states. As for the contiguos 48 states, any occupation would fail unless they nuked several of the major ports, bases and cities - and then only after their forces survive the retaliation strikes could they hope to invade. After that, they might be able to occupy some portion of the states, but there would be constant harrassment from the survivors - peace would be impossible until they were destroyed.

[@erikhopkins9548]

What it doesn't mention is that the hunters alone in just 3 states the Virginias and Maryland hunters make number to make the largest army in the world so think of the gun owners 2/3 or more of those in the US own guns that is an army of 200 million

[@geneticrex]

Over 100 million armed Americans. Many of whom are heavily armed and accomplished shooters. Millions more who could be armed in short order. Not to mention that little thing like an unrivaled military.
