[@JP-ec9rl]

We in America aren't in fear of foreign invasion in a conventional sense. We have more heavily armed civilians and seasoned veterans than anywhere else in the world. Our Navy is intended for two purposes, to be able to project force around the globe in short order and to protect commerce on the seas.

[@falconf17i]

Yeah gaining commerce by completely discarding value of other innocent lives & massacring millions! Commerce so much most Americans are depressed, drowning in alcohol & brokeeeee LOL & ppl licking the politicians butt cracks as if they care about your lives…. It’s to make their pockets fatter!

16:00 Yes we import antimony from outside, that doesn't mean that we DON'T have any antimony resources left. Those mines were closed NOT because we ran out. They were closed because it's cheaper to import them than to extract and refine them ourselves. 😉 Oh another point: this happened only in January this year (2024) long after this video was made. Lithium has been discovered in the USA and initial reports suggest that they're HUGE deposits. This means we're no longer dependent on importing lithium.

[@becool4223]

The reason that the US has such a powerful navy and airforce is that it has to go across those oceans itself to get to a war, it has to do something no other nation or group of nations can do.

I think as an American, I forget how massive the United States is. I only realize it when I see others who don't live in the USA. it takes 3 full days to get from one west coast to the east coast (across the country) BUT that would be a trip with no stops at all. lots of people are travel enthusiasts and definitely do go on these very long roadtrips. driving across the country like this usually takes more than three days because no one drives in one sitting, there are always going to be stops whether you want to or not. but its not normal for someone to just say "I'll see you soon, I'm going to drive from Los Angeles to New York." You definitely have to do quite a bit of preparing and planning to do so. It takes more than 10 hours just to drive from the top to bottom of California alone so you can only imagine the great length of driving across the United States

Texas alone can take like 15 hours to cross from its furthest points. You mentioned 40 miles is long distance - that was half of my daily commute to work when I was in my early 20s going from Glens Falls to Latham.

“Another thing though is that with all that money they could stop poverty in their country”…..you are 1000% CORRECT SIR!!! Not only could america stop all forms of poverty in our own country but we could help completely end global poverty in it’s ENTIRETY!! Obviously that takes more than just our military budget but that’s not really the main point I’m making. I wouldn’t mind our bloated military budget if we actually did things to help our own citizens and the world at large. But no administration has been interested in that line of thinking since FDR pretty much. I am proud to be an American , I don’t hide my passport when I travel like some others because the way I see it I should be a good ambassador for my nation when I travel abroad. I should listen to others , learn their culture, and make friends with them. But I will say I am ASHAMED of how our nation does not live up to what it could be!! America has SOOOOO much potential and we absolutely REFUSE to live up to that potential!! Instead our entire country is set up to make rich people more money and keep poor people in perpetual poverty. We are the “richest” most powerful nation that has ever existed on this planet. We are multi ethnic, multicultural , hard working, honest and GENEROUS nation by and large. I would lay down my life for my fellow countrymen if it came down to it.

25 miles? That's an afternoon shopping day here. The U.S. is currently the largest producer of oil, and has been for probably over a decade. And we haven't even come close to tapping all our sources for it. East and West Coast is pretty much untouched for sea drilling. We've got untapped supplies in Alaska, and other areas. And that doesn't even go into technology to reopen expired sites to get every last drop available that couldn't be conventionally. The tech is there and in use already. Hydraulic fracturing. And the U.S. is one of if not the largest natural gas producer as well. Although Russia probably has more potential supplies there. China's navy is by sheer numbers, outnumbering the U.S., but most of it is much, much smaller coastal patrol ships.

OR $30,000 for a toilet seat. It is both due to them hiding money they spend for top secret projects (which i get) as well as being over charged by manufactures simply labeling these parts "for military use" or "military grade" but it is THE SAME PART made from the same metal manufactured on the same machine.

The citizens of Alaska have more firearms than all of the US military. 5:51 Fastest run from NYC to LA was a little under 24 hours, by truckers make it in 3 and a half days. 11:30 An armed society is a polite society. 12:00 Fully Automatic weapons are the price of a new economy car in the US and it requires a special license. 14:00 US has the 3rd largest tapped Oil reserves in the world, between Oklahoma Texas and Alaska, not to mention off shore drilling, the US doesn't need to import, if one Political party lets them drill. Though the US gets most of its Oil from the Middle East since the Middle East has the purest Oil (Less waste per barrel). China has more subs but they are 30 years behind on Sub technology, the US has more boats and has more aircraft carriers than the rest of the World combined. 18:25 The US destroyed a satellite with a plane decades ago. 22:00 Donald Brennan Came up with the Idea of M.A.D. Mutually Assured Destruction in 1962.

I know in Texas we don’t actually measure distance in miles but in hours…for example Dallas Tx is 3 1/2 hours from Houston Tx.

[@stevenwiltse9611]

Well if ur sleeping, about 3 full days. I'm in Michigan and it would take 3 days because I like to sleep. Truck drivers can go from New York to Los Angeles and the can do it in 3 day and be back in New York in a week

[@mr.invisable6919]

Made the drive several times. 2-3 days. 8-10 hrs a day. AWESOME DRIVE!

General Eisenhower traveled East coast to West coast as a lieutenant. It took weeks by truck . When he became president he created the Eisenhower interstate system. In Colorado we have the Eisenhower tunnel on his route to LA.

@10:26 To interpret the statistics on the per-capita-guns chart... There's enough guns in the U.S. to arm everyone, including infants, and still have enough left over that every fifth person has a second gun, just in case.

So, the US have lessened the need for Antimony by going to a lead free bullet as antimony is primarily used in the hardening of lead.

The europeans spend very little on their military, but in terms of population, the europeans have the same amount of poverty as the U.S..

If you were to drive from Northern Maine (far NE of the country) to San Diego, CA (far SW of the country), it is approx 50hrs of driving. But obviously you will have to stop periodically for sleep. So 4-5 days to travel across the country if you just do it at a normal pace. It's approx 3400 miles (almost 5400km)

[@johnl5316]

I drove from LA to Raleigh, NC stopping each night. It took 5 days

[@Nic-wv3wg]

@@johnl5316 I drove from Cleveland, OH to San Diego, CA stopped one night, took 34hrs.

[@esquire3230]

I live in DC and my in-laws are in Louisiana. 1,100 miles (16.5 hours). I can drive that in 1 day, 2 days if i have my kids with me as they need to get out and stretch overnight, since they are small. Alot of Americans can do 12-15 hours in day. Love a long road trip.

[@richardmead5969]

used to love that amen

Going from one coast to the other takes 3 days. 2 if you never stop and some how don't run out of gas.

I’ve done Arizona to Florida in 16 hours.

[@stevenwiltse9611]

We have enough guns for everyone in the country to have 3 per person. Thats the ones that are registered. Most people in the country have 10 or more that are not needed to be registered!

[@mountainmonkey1984]

Driving from San Francisco to New York is around 43 hours

[@PatriotJedi]

Ive driven across this country twice now, from Georgia to Washington state, then from Washington state to Florida. Its vast and beautiful God bless America the greatest country on this planet. 🇺🇸 our brothers and sisters from across the pond are always welcome here!

[@lucywin8000]

She said “it wasn’t possible even with taking breaks” 😂😂😂

[@subitman]

I've driven across the US twice. When I did it non-stop, it took me 23 hours I think. However, there many rest stops on the high way with free bathrooms and plenty of parking. These rest stops were designed to prevent motorists from having accidents from being tired. These rest stops are marked on the highway bill boards showing the miles to the next one and what exit. One could even sleep in the car overnight.

[@spyrus_4359]

Wow, driving 130 mph with no stops? I-80 from CA to NJ is 2900 miles!

[@subitman]

@@spyrus_4359 Well, there was a snow storm riding up behind me. I could the snow falling so I just kept driving at the speed limit which was 65mph. I didn't want to get pull over or be stuck in the snow. I had no food. I've been stuck in t he snow before. It was cold and I was out there in my car for three days. The heater went out after one day.

[@user-bq5il5yk3o]

Driving takes 6 days from the East Coast to the West Coast.

[@cedcole702]

One other thing you have to look at is that the number of private Americans who own weapons is extremely huge we're talking upwards of 5/6 maybe 10 million Americans own privately owned weapons everything from pistols to m16s. So, if a person was going to come and take over America if the military didn't stop them the private sector would and a lot of those private citizens are former military

[@karimhicks8376]

General Dwight D Eisenhower was impressed by the autobahn, Germans road system. So in the 1950s, as president, he passed the interstate road system, from Alaska to Maine to California.
