My wife is a naturalized US citizen from China. Her nephew is in Chinese PLA. On our last trip, I met with some of his army friends. Being curious, I asked them how often they trained with their equipment. He said they spent more time in political thought and reliability meetings than actually going out to train. When asked if had been in the military, I told them I was in the USAF as a TACP ( I worked with frontline maneuver units providing close air support (airstrikes)). When asked me how often we did actual training. I told them we train with our equipment every day and the days we don't is spent on the firing range, qualifying with our weapons or in the gym lifting weights (my muscles are way bigger than him and his buddies even though quit serious lifting years ago), running or exercising. I think I scared them, because after that they said they never wanted to go up against any American units because we were trained a hell of a lot better than they would ever be.

This is very much a true statement. It's meaning is that to get peace you must have have a strong military as that will mean enemies are less likely to do anything stupid to your allies or friends or attack you directly knowing what will be unleashed against them if they do.

The B-2 Spirit was not the first flying wing "stealth" aircraft. Nazi Germany actually developed the first stealth aircraft... In the 1940's, Goering approved the production of forty flying wings - to be known as Ho 229 or Go 229. However, the Americans captured the factory at Friedrichroda, Germany in April of 1945. The most complete prototype was shipped to the US and can be seen still today, being restored at the United States Air and Space Museum in Virginia.

I detest war, and grew up in the 1970s, so I was too young for the draft for Vietnam. I had a couple of people about 10 years ago I played in a golf league with that both had Ph.D level engineers and making casual talk with them on the golf course as people do, me and my brother (my partner) asked them what they did for a living and they said they really couldn't say much other than they were researching technology with some other people in a team to miniaturize rail gun tech to present to contractors for the defense department to hopefully make them smaller and more deployable across various platforms of weapons, everything from fighter/bomber aircraft to tanks and other APC vehicles. According to them there are already large versions of these weapons deployed at some land installations and on some ships, but they did not mention which, said they couldn't. They did say that a current problem right now is being able to fire more than a few munitions without it basically destroying the weapon/barrel. They were working on some type of electromagnetic thing to reduce friction and pressure on the barrel from the projectile, but I have no idea how that works. They did say that another competing group of other people that live sonewhere else were also working on spread focus particle accelorators, which I didn't know what that was and they both said it is basically a super-intense high powered laser, and that was a competition for them to eventually get a part of a defense contract. I don't know how that worked out because they moved and did no play in our golf league the following year. That at least I do know and can speak to is that this was in 2014 and it is now 2022, so I have no doubt at all the things we haven't shown the world probably is 25+ years ahead of even our most advanced weapon systems now. I mean sure, they could have lied, but why lie about that and not some more practical business venture where they were making money; logically that doesn't make sense they'd lie about something that extravagant or advanced. Mr. Putin might be careful what he wishes for because he just might end up getting it, and maybe his military will end up being the testing ground of something nobody has ever seen before 30 years in the making. I sure hope not, but I know that we here in the US don't feel the need to parade our newest weapons systems down the streets of Washington for the world to see, which is honestly a very dumb thing to do anyway because you just tip your hand to the worlds' various militaries.

Submarines from all countries regularly chase and track each other at very close ranges to make sure we know where all their submarines are and what electronic signals they emit so we can track them and technology increases and submarines become nearly impossible to track. That is why they sometimes collide. Also nuclear submarines hide in the terrain of the sea floor and "hover" there without moving for weeks or months at a time.. They are all over the world at all times and can be positioned to launch attacks without warning at a moment's notice. Also the USA has protected Europe since World War II. I was in the US Army in the 1970's in West Germany when we protected the German Border and kept the Soviet Union from invading and occupying Europe. The Soviet Union's military doctrine at that time was to use Tactical Nuclear Weapons as a first strike weapon and planned to use nearly 150 nuclear weapons to conquer all of Europe in one week. They also had huge stockpiles of Chemical and Biological Weapons. Our forces protected western Europe from 1945 until 1986 when the Soviet Union broke up. Our country paid a huge price for keeping Europe free and giving you a peaceful life. I know in the 1970's the USA had approximately 200,000 troops in West Germany plus thousands more in neighboring countries.

The alcohol law matter is a little complicated. It's actually state laws that directly determine the drinking age, BUT the Federal Government can influence a state's policy - through "the power of the purse". In the early to mid 1980s, the Federal government passed a law stating that they would cut off supplementary highway funds by 10% per year for any state that did not raise its drinking age to 21 years old. This was in response to popular pressure to stop drunk driving - especially a group called MADD: Mothers Against Drunk Driving. Before then, states had a patchwork of laws. F.ex. Louisiana sold any type of alcohol to anyone at age 18, while Mississippi had it at 18 for beer but 21 for hard liquor. I was the last high school class for which last-year high-schoolers could legally purchase alcohol.

We used to have a 18 drinking age the issue in the US is that people start driving at 16 or 17 and it was Carnage on the road. It's generally not true in Europe where people cannot afford to start driving until they're much older and can afford a car.

Sorry to break your bubble subs can be tracked. They have planes made to hunt them... Also not an American sub. The was a French and British sub. Neither sub was pinging, only using passive sonar.

[@binxbolling]

Italy even has an F-35 factory and also flies the F-35.

[@HiredGunGames]

Another aspect of America is that even if we were cut off from the world we could actually self sustain ourselves. We prioritize getting resources to other parts of the world especially to our allies.

Q. Why does the new Italian Navy have glass bottom boats? A. To see the Old Italian Navy.

[@mjc1389]

The comment about US subs not having communication isn’t necessarily true. While they are at operating depth they don’t have comms but if they come to periscope depth they can communicate while remaining submerged. They have high speed data links and satellite communication ability so they don’t have to remain shallow very long. Attack subs also have a VLF comms system that can receive comms with a floating wire while the sub remains at deeper depths than periscope depth. Ballistic missile subs have the same VLF comm system and other lower frequency comm systems that keep them in communications almost non-stop. I worked communications on 2 different US fast attack submarines in my Naval career.

If you want to check out some interesting US military aircraft I recommend the A-10 Warthog or the SR-71 Blackbird.

Western Europe lives of our protection and question us!

[@TheGovernor-vw9cf]

Which is why we should leave nato and be with Russia

[@VfrYty]

you are a superpower and for this I respect you, but without you we are still perfectly capable of defending ourselves

[@TheGovernor-vw9cf]

@@VfrYty I’m fine with that. You are capable enough of defending yourselves. I want all USA forces to withdraw from Europe. You need to seek peace with Russia.

[@VfrYty]

@@TheGovernor-vw9cf I quite agree with what you just said

[@VfrYty]

@@TheGovernor-vw9cf However, I never think that the US abandoning NATO would jeopardize its international reliability and lose vital allies

The open container of alcohol can land the driver and the drinker both in jail depending on the state. And in stone places if you want to drink outside in public you have to use a specific container for the alcohol and sometimes only on days with events

I can assure you that what you see is what they allow you to see you will never know the top secret stuff until it's to late.

Submarines do have contact otherwise they wouldn't be able to shoot nuclear weapons. And US subs quite often track russian and chinese subs.

[@jimmiegiboney2473]

Mark 14:21. In aircraft terminology, "wing" and "plane" are synonyms. They make an, "airplane", just that. Though with a, helicopter, "rotary wing", is used. Ergo, a winged drone is an "airplane" or "plane". 🤓🧐

You should stop talking and listen to the things this video is saying. Details are more important than your need to comment.

[@xXtuscanator22Xx]

Power projection. US basically says “hey we’re right here, and if you wanna fuck around you’ll find out.”

[@ricolizaola4030]

Okay you say China can kick our ass think again. I did subscribe to your channel but after your comment don't need your channel

[@drakke125Channel]

14:30 not only has drones been a thing for almost 30 years, touch screen technology existed even before I was born in 1991. There were security guards at the White House when my parents visited and they were seen talking to their almost spygear like equipment. I've seen a girl with a disability or mental health condition and she used a touch screen for communicating. Most drones from the last 5 years were incapable of being able to be stay powered on for more than 5-10 minutes, nowadays they can last 20 min to 1hr or more depending on who you buy the drone from. Actually it could be a couple hours now but the military using such large drones, it makes sense they can stay afloat in the air for hours and hours.

In the USA drinking and driving was a problem with teenagers dying at an alarming rate from automobile accidents due to intoxication.

[@natepeace1737]

I'm a US citizen, and Navy Brat, so indirectly part of the military industrial complex of our mighty empire. The problem is that even with all of our superiority we still waste our precious resources, our brave warriors blood, and tax payer dollars, on frivolous wars, like Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan. But it is impressive to witness from a historical perspective. In every period of history their is one dominant military power. The Romans, Genghis Khan's Mongols, in our time it is the US.

[@JP-ec9rl]

I can remember the Italian soldiers having wine included in their MREs in Iraq in 2003. In the USA teenagers owned high performance cars in the 1980s and high performance cars and inexperienced drivers under the influence of alcohol don't mix well. The death tolls were rising and mothers against drunk driving began a national political campaign that resulted in the raising of the legal drinking age and a crackdown on drunk driving and underage drinking.
