well, our Navy and Air force are huge. And I would agee that our Army and Marine ground troops are the best trained standard army the world has ever seen, but our ground forces would be destroyed if we got locked in a land war. Ground war, in general, should be long over and Russia is showing why right now. Its brutal and almost entirely unpredictable. In the air and the sea, it does not matter how hard you want to fight, technology will win every time. However, on the ground it is a different story. The slower pace, the use of cover and maneuvers, the fact destroying the vehicles doesn't mean the fight is over, and the role morale can play in ground combat means that a ground war is a crap shoot at best. Don't give the enemy a chance to make martyrs, don't give the people of the enemy reason to hate your people because of brutal ground war, and most importantly don't hand the enemy an opportunity to steal a win when you should only ever offer the opportunity to surrender.

One fact this doesn't take into account. The US has the largest oil reserve on the planet estimated to be somewhere between 3-9 TRILLION barrels worth of oil. The original estimates were 3 trillion, but the latest numbers suggest it is closer to 9 trillion. As for how much of that is recoverable, about 20%-30% using modern technology. So anywhere from 900 billion to 3 trillion barrels of recoverable oil. Edit: This is an oil reserve that nobody has tried to access yet because of how deep it is and how difficult it will be to extract that oil. Of course, the real problem here is that they completely ignored South Ameria as they don't really have any military capabilities, but what they do have is OIL and if the world elected to exploit that and then use their good submarines to scout a safe path from Brazil to Europe, small amount of oil from South America could get through the US blockade. Oh, and OPEC stands for the "Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries"

[@jordaneimer2873]

and we could easily just buck up and invest in wind, nuclear and solar energy. become entirely oil-independent within our own borders for energy. Then just keep the electric car ball rolling and leave everbody in the dust as far as dependence on other nations. leveraging us even further on the world stage. imagine if we got to sell our oil almost entirely. imagine if our solar and wind fields were in the central US and nearly impenetrable to foreign attack.. Kansas alone could house enough wind turbines to power half of America. Wind alley could produce enough electricity to keep every North American nation powered 24/7, 365. with some to spare.... the wind doesnt fully go away across a 1500 mile stretch of land. and its not ever going away.

[@grmmq2247]

If it's any consolation and makes you feel better we (The USA) do consider you to be our friends. Remember though. We appear to be a nation full of so many different views and political beliefs that we could not possibly agree on anything. That is not really the case. After the 9/11 attacks everyone and I mean EVERYONE was pissed. People who had never considered military careers we signing up just to get a chance to hit back. I knew guys that quit their jobs to travel to NY City to volunteer in the cleanup. 24*7 there was a feeling of Fury in the air. Most people know how proud Americans are of their country. That is what makes us a special kind of dangerous when crossed.

[@h.s.6269]

Those years right after were certainly something. There was a tangible drive and unity that fucking EVERYONE felt. That would play a huge factor in this scenario, whether or not the American people felt it justified and unavoidable. Cause I'd bet everything that if it sparked the same vibe that 9/11 did, we would go all WW mode again and turn as much work force as possible to supporting the effort. In a time where women didn't work (ww2, not 9/11) they dropped everything and worked overtime in factories happily and went home to tend community gardens to feed themselves and their area. For 9/11 so, so many people volunteered and those who didn't sent many care packages specifically to loved ones who did join and another package to be distributed to the general force. The time after 9/11 really was an interesting time to say the least. You could meet a perfect stranger and still feel bonded as Americans and help them out. Patriotism, compassion, and yes a thirst for revenge was our unifying drive. I miss the pride and compassion of those times, not the tragedy that led to it all though, that kind of trauma shook everyone to the core, which I assume would be similar in the scenario here.

[@WSlopeAggie]

The American people have always had a heart of gold and pride, no matter what. You best believe our military would go from 1.3 million active duty, to possibly tens of millions.

For everything the common man knows (like the guy(s) who made this video), there's something, even if only a work in progress, that is highly classified and kept under wraps for tactical advantage. Even if the US didn't have the best military in terms of equipment and preparedness, it's true strength lies in its ability to take its time and strategize the best possible course of action and then make that happen.

[@eileenegger1466]

Yes,the USA & Britain are longtime friends/allies and we have no desire to dominate any other country. Honestly,we have enough problems here. I think our military objectives were shaped by WW II.

He also didn't mention that we have an absolutely ridiculous amount of intercontinental ballistic missiles that are launched from underground silos and can strike anywhere on the planet. We can't use nukes in the scenario, but ballistic missiles aren't nuclear and they are still absolutely devastating. More than likely it'd be over before any real battle to place.

Having been in war as a US soldier I can tell you most of that on the video is true. But I can also tell you that it should be a great relief for everyone in the world to know that there is only a handful of countries in the world that having that much power would wield it responsibly and not want to take over other countries and conquer other countries, and the US is one of those. if certain other countries had this much power we would be doomed. Also, having that much power does not guarantee a win, look at Afghanistan I believe we got our asses handed to us because Society at the time and our leadership would not allow us to bring full power to bear.

[@lukaswesthoff1030]

Total underestimation of Europe

[@shanehanson6013]

He forgot to mention a very important part of the war, US manufacturing. If you know what happened in the US during World War 2, the US would quickly shift to war time manufacturing and likely outpace most of the world in new military equipment (ships, munitions, planes, tanks, etc.) at least in the earliest days of the war. Depending on details, and if the strategy presented was used, the US might even be able to hold the middle east with a ramp up in military recruits and new equipment. Also what he forget is the US has military equipment graveyards. Hundreds of old ships, thousands of older planes, and tanks and innumerable amounts of other obsolete equipment sitting, in various levels of readiness, for redeployed in the even of a major war. Even if the world destroyed everything that is current in active use by the US, we would, nearly, over night have the same size navy, air force and army that is equipped with tech equal to what everyone else is currently using.

[@jiveturkey2875]

Have to disagree. In WW2 the U.S. had a dominant manufacturing industry. Not the case anymore. The U.S. will have to first rebuild its own industry to produce for its war losses. This comes into an alarming case when you realize the tech used by the U.S. military and all of its components having to be imported. (I.E. chips)

[@JP-kl3zt]

Our grave yards are the world shopping center.

[@H3LLS4NG3L]

While in WW2 we had the materials and capability to switch production, today, we have lost many manufacturing facilities and I don't think it will be anything close to the same as far as output. BUT, the great thing is that we already have such a huge stockpile and there are specialized manufacturing facilities already built for our war machine.

[@davidmilner6831]

Jive turkey is absolutely correct. The production capability of the US is nowhere near what it was during WWII, nor do we have workers with the necessary skill sets to properly staff manufacturing facilities on the scale we had during WWII. Part of President Trumps desire to “make America great again” was to increase American manufacturing capability. unfortunately manufacturing is “dirty” and goes against everything that Biden and the new green deal advocates want to achieve.

[@SoloRenegade]

no one ever explains how Chinese long range missiles ever actually find and hit their targets. US ships are beyond line-of-sight, and always moving. Requires real-time tracking and targeting with great precision at great distances. You need to observe the target to hit it.

[@cheeseninja1115]

That's why the Chinese anti-ship missles have such a complex kill-chain. They use AWACS to track the ship and on final aproch use the satellite telemetry to get the exact location and speed to hit it, but if you break any point in that chain then the missle becomes useless. Satellite are just the easiest target at the moment.

If you want an example of the US fighting without taking diplomacy into account at all, ask Japan.
