New Zealand Girl Reacts to Could US military invade UK if it wanted to? (2019)

[@kokomo9764]

The carrier maintenance times are peacetime estimates. During war, carriers will not have to spend anywhere near the same time in maintenance.

[@JDoelker]

True, they have tenders which bring supplies and weapons, oilers which provide aviation fuel, aircraft that bring the mail, and a 13+ yr nuclear fuel life.

[@daleowen2606]

Luckily the 5 eyes nations (UK, US, Canada, New Zealand, and Australia) are all best of friends and probably the strongest multinational alliance in the world

[@JoannDavi]

I'd suspend Canada while Trudeau remains in power. A G20 country with the 27th ranked military. No intention of meeting 2% spending. Left out of AUKUS subs. It's at the back of the line for F-35s due to decision making delay.

​@Serbia_Russia_Chinaincorrect but keep trying. China and Russia are trash and you know it lol

[@v.j.1017]

@Serbia_Russia_Chinabrics? Are u actually stupid? 😂😂

[@StrikeRaptor1000]

@WorldWarRepoter BRICS is a joke for military might. Brazil is a poor nation with little to no combat experience Russia is corrupt it can’t even win a war with a much smaller nation that’s next door India and China have disputed borders with militaries that still have to rely on wage tactics and are both paper tigers. South Africa is self explanatory XD

[@hannahdyson7129]

Simply not true

[@larrysheppard42]

Northern Ireland would be a First-Fast objective. Once taken the US can deploy shorter ranged assets, C-130, F-15/16/35, drones and set up a radar picket. Then it would be a matter of when the US wanted to strike. Also, The Navel repair schedule is only in peace time. In a war footing, repair schedules are stretched out over a longer period, and only when necessary. Once Northern Ireland is secured it would then be used as a staging and recovery location.

[@ronileigh9336]

America supports UK's every accomplishments, still very much respected as to how we began.

[@hannahdyson7129]

Not in Northern England

[@CaptainFrost32]

You look wonderful, Courtney. I love your smile as you react in each video. "Fly the friendly skies!" personified.

[@andrewgalindo6959]

All the toys we have are great to be sure. However what in my opinion is more important is the amount of training that we take part in even when things are quiet we keep training on one level or another. I did my part for the 6 yrs I served. But I'm truly glad that we are all good friends.

[@adamsmith-wi3qg]

Also in case of war, a huge number of Americans who haven't served are very familiar with firearms. Imagine drafting a million Ukrainians vs a million Americans - which group will have more men who own and shoot modern AR-style rifles?

[@deeztruckz2430]

Lets just put it this way, no other country wants to find out why the U.S. doesnt have universal healthcare 😂. Our military and technology,and sheer quantity of it all is truly terrifying. I always say,if I've gotta be somewhere in a time of war,its going to be USA. Our country might seem divided at times,but nothing would cause unison more than the idea of someone invading our homes. We might have a joke of a president, but hes not the only one that can initiate war 😊. Love to the rest of the world 🎉

[@trevor3013]

I mean universal healthcare is still an option. The military budget is only a small sliver of the US GDP.

[@kidfox3971]

​@@trevor3013I'd rather continue paying little to no income tax

[@JasonMistretta-wf5ip]

America likes England, Australia, & New Zealand so you are ALL fine! Just know that if you "step out of line" you are TOAST! Hahaha....

[@cygnusx-3217]

So countries that are not in "line" with the US deserve to be militarily pulverized. And this brings you humor and joy?

[@carlhansen4648]

glad your back

[@ScorpoSangs-ud2os]

Don't be afraid Courtney,,,, we'll come and rescue you,we don't kill women and children

[@adamrou12345]

According to the Department of the Treasury, the Department of Defense was distributed a total budget of 1.8 trillion dollars for fiscal year 2023. More than 4.9 billion dollars a day. The entire yearly defense budget of the UK would last the DoD about 11 days. It's a truly astonishing ammount of money that gets consumed.

Britian couldn't beat us here in Revolutionary War or War of 1812 wheb they tried again so yeah now no chance they'd win if we invaded them

[@jimspetdragons3737]

Also consider the industrial capacity of the US to produce new/more vehicles, munitions & weapons which is staggering. Music suggestion: The Sound of Silence by Disturbed.

[@DaddyDoggAbbott]

Is that a serious question the Navy can shut them off completely without even doing anyting

[@Plastikdoom]

Binkov gives the Brit’s far too much credit, 6 months to own the sky? And sea…nah it would be weeks at most, and that’s best case for the Brit’s. I’m not doubting they’d fight like hell, it doesn’t matter if you fight hard these days, not in the open, against the weapons we have. Well. Doesn’t matter best as much, as they don’t kiss, unless a failure in equipment, or gross user failure. They simply don’t have the numbers, with pretty equal tech and training in most cases, some of each better on each side, their navy Woukd last days at most, as wanna know how’d we open up? Mass B-2 raid, and other stealth aircraft we have, to take out as many ships and runways/planes, sub/bases as we could. Knocking out most in the initial strike, with conventional bombers and aircraft not long behind. Air Force times with Navy birds and cruise missiles, plenty of jamming. And decoys. And all of the tomahawks known to man, to precede the fixed wing, conventional birds, to take out any remains runways/aircraft on the ground radar, communication hubs, infrastructure and govt buildings, barracks, motor pools, etc. we would severely damage their military in the opening salvo. While gutting their government and infrastructure in the first hours of combat, including police and fire stations. Power plants, bridges. Rail yards, ports. Any major distribution center related to the government major broadcast centers of any kind. Cells and and any server farms/major satellites. All that would fall to a massed initial strike, and any aircraft that survived and scrambled, would be shot down, no matter how good the plane or pilot is, they don’t have the numbers to stand up to that, each plane in the air could and would meet up to dozens missiles over the first and last mission. Let alone try to hit our ships? Good luck, they would be able to damage some, maybe sink a couple. But only at the cost of all attacking aircraft lost, at that ratio they’d run out of aircraft and munitions before we ran out of sustainable, deployed ships. At that point we’d go ham with even more cruise missiles and constant bombing…eliminating anything that uniformed and cohesive, aka military and government. Their subways? Knocked out with bunker busters, to prevent fast. Mad movement of men and material. It’d be ugly and we’d likely take pretty high losses in the non stealth aircraft, but we’d wind the air and sea battle, effectively in the opening day. At least at strategic level. It’d take a number of weeks, at most to finish off all air and naval power while still striking at government and infrastructure targets, fully crippling them and blinding them. Then we could do as we please more or less, we’d rock heavy. Every assault ship. Probably 8 carriers then. Most of our escorts, for fire support of landings….and a whole bunch of marines. Woth every AF jet we could get there, staggered in waves, of course probably ti match as best as we could the cycle time of carriers and their planes endurance. And all the sea lift ships in an armada. Timed with airborne right before, or even during/after the first landings, to maximize troops on the ground. And give them months of supplies at that point, especially considering losses. Doing that. We could have closer to 50k in the first day or two…with a small influx at a slow, low level for the next few weeks, then another surge. At least until we took an airport and repaired it, which we would, then the troop funnel would begin, and expand. And if we weren’t playing nice. Then be pacified and co-operate. Or die. It would take months to fully invade and pacify. But they’d be without a governs or formed. Uniformed military that whole time after a few days at the beginning.

[@josealfonsosilvalatorre1826]

Great video happy weekend😊

[@LyleGuydelkon]

United Kingdom asked the United States, to be a protectorate country of Australia, New Zealand, Tasmania. And placed Canada missile protection US notifited England that they have always been under our protection

[@patrioticz2858]

It's an alright video but he made several mistakes.. US doesn't operate on air superiority. We operate on air supremacy which means we try to take out aircraft before the even leave the airbases like during desert storm

[@renezarate2397]

Courtney I've seen a lot of your but they haven't seen you react to one that you might think is real funny sometime back you saw Abbott and Costello's who's on first you might like also Abbott and Costello's shooting dice this time Costello turns the tables on Abbott is extremely funny you might want to look it up it is called shooting dice

[@MrJaybody-vd6eb]

Just isn't economically or morally viable for the US to attack and invade the UK. But it would be very possible if America wanted it bad enough, though. And then what would America do with the royal family? If they were driven out of the UK, would they all go to Canada?

[@shawncovert751]

Now that you're a flight attendant, Have you thought any about getting your pilots license?

[@lyleguydelkon3071]

Interesting, I heard that to

[@Harley46835]

Why would we want to?

[@krystalaura5634]

Thank God we don't hold a grudge! Look at the video How the Star Spangeled Banner got its name.

[@raymarshall6721]

Only problem with this, it doesnt take into account how we wage war. First thing we would do, is send a few hundred Tomahawk missiles to every radar station, command center, etc before any conventional forces were even en route. Then we have the ability to send a division or two on a nonstop flight into the airspace to drop them wherever we wanted a foothold (not taking into account the tier one forces who would already be there). We would send F-117s from the US to Iraq and back on non stop in flight fueled trips during the 90s... Plus all of their estimates on "deployment" times arent accounting, again, for how we wage war. Then he showed that the C-130 (most) cant be refueled mis aid which is also false. We actually have C-130 tankers as well as the KC-10 🤣Thankfully the odds of any war between the US and UK is about as high of a chance of us going to war with Canada. Would take the world flipped on its head for that day to come.

[@MrVince8]

This video made me think of a big brother beating up his little brother. Not a nice thing.

[@russellkeeling4387]

Even though the US has a lot of assets I would never underestimate the UK. They are very good at war with a lot of experience. They have very devious minds for it.

[@splender88]

Can't ever see this happenning we love the Brits one of if not our best friend in the world. Of course it wasn't always like that but thats another story.

[@A_Name_]

Well, for the UK to match the US defense budget they would need to spend roughly 1/4 of its gdp. Thats kinda a big ask to be ready incase your best friend decided to kick your teeth in lol

[@runrafarunthebestintheworld]

😅

[@toferg.8264]

All the more important that there is something dangerous enough to keep the U.S.A. government accountable. 2A all the way.

[@trevor3013]

Interesting hypothetical but would never happen. Forgetting even the rest of the anglosphere being very close allies. The US and UK in particular are extremely close. So much so that they actually have the largest foreign investment into each other's countries than any other allied nations of the world. Canada is a brother (same with Australia and new Zealand) and the UK is our good ol pappy.

​@@kidfox3971huh. how strange. this is NOT the location where I posted that comment. strange indeed.

[@JDoelker]

The quick answer is yes. Holding it after the invasion would be the problem. This has been our Achilles heel in our past imperial endeavors. Think Afghanistan, Iraq, and Somalia.

[@JoannDavi]

We do this better when rebuilding nations that had been real nations beforehand like Japan and Germany.

[@JDoelker]

@@JoannDavi the two countries in your example was never a part of some imperial takeover. Afghanistan and Iraq could be argued as such. Germany and Japan were not occupied until after signing an unconditional surrender. While the US did defeat Japan without invasion, one could argue Germany was defeated by the USSR and the Western forces were there just to mop up. Think of the direction Germany was moving in the East when D-Day occurred. You'll find it was westward in retreat.

[@JDoelker]

Scotland, Wales, and ROI might act as US allies.

[@MichaelJones-mk5vq]

Laughable, Panama and Grenada were more their size. They make the same dumb mistake every time thinking that sheer fire power wins the day. Tell that to the Vietnamese, the Afghans, the Somalians and anyone else with a couple of AK47s.
