Russia is getting it's ass kicked by a former vassal state. America just spent the last 20 years fighting. Please Russia, bring it. We'd to stomp your guts out and get it over with.
It's a shame, that NATO provoked Russia into invading Ukraine over the last 10 years. There could have been peace in March with Ukraine remaining intact but adhering to the Minsk II agreement, which France & Germany, key members of NATO, previously guaranteed, but ignored, rather than enforcing it, but British Prime Minister and puppet of the United States, Boris Johnson, talked UkrainIan leader, Zelensky, out of the peace agreement. Now it looks like Ukraine wil be absorbed into Russia, like it was prior to 1954.
It's possible, that Russia will only take the useful parts of Ukraine and leave the rest to the UkrainIan Nazis & Poland.
Russia has great weapons productivity and has long had a policy of producing their own high tech silicon chips for their weapon's electronics.
This video seems to be pure NATO propaganda. The sanctions against Russia have only transfered World dominance from the US & the EU to Russia, China, India, Brazil, the Global South. & others (BRICS).
The US has been hollowed out over the the last 20 years and won't be able to help the UK & the EU, if they wanted to, which the US government has no intention of doing. The US military is too "woke" to be of any use either.
On the bright side, Ukraine is much better off under Russia, than under the Western carpetbaggers, who had been exploiting it, ever since the fall of the USSR.
Over half the countries of the World are tired of being bullied by the US, the UK, and the EU and are solidly on Russia's side. The West controls the World news media narrative, but it bares little or no resemblance to reality.
@@sparky6086 Ahh, the weak and pathetic Russia apologists arrive, or are you just a Russiabot? No one provoked Putina into assaulting it's smaller, weaker, non-confrontational neighbor. Russia is the aggressor, and from the looks of it, getting it's ass kicked in the process. Stop bombing civilians you fucking orcs.
@@johnmatthews4717 If living in a dreamworld is how you cope, pleasant dreams. I live & thrive in reality & prefer it that way.
We'll see how it works out (at least, I will).
Kindest regards.
@@sparky6086 bye bye russiabot. how many friends of yours did our Himars turn into shreds, anyway?
Not Polish Amirian, but know a lot of Polish Americans and some Polish people and can say, we tend to take for granted how much Poland has our back. I believe they were one of our first allies during the War on Terror. God Bless Poland and all Polish people. You've got our back, we've got yours.
Poland is pretty much the only NATO partner, with the exception the UK, that actually is worth having. They’re holding their own border solidly, and the UK was willing to answer Rohan’s call whereas France and Germany both pissed and moaned like babies back in 2001.
Chicago will be pissed if anything happens to Poland. We are city with the largest Polish population outside of Poland. Almost 200,000 (about 8%) people of Polish descent live in Chicago. Immigrating Poles and visa workers find it easier here because of the cultural clubs and support for the "old country". We have so many Poles here that Chicago's government signs, forms, paperwork, when written in multiple languages are in English, Spanish and Polish!
The war on terror was pure BS. You are still in the weeds if you are spouting that kind pure nonsense.
How about you stop your countries from involving themselves into the rest of the world internal politics. Since you only seem to care when oil is involved or that the military industrial complex Can get paid along with other corporations.
Your governments start so much vile crap around the world. Them blame the victims of the crap you started. While your governments ceaselessly cause havoc. When those people see you for what you are and fight back you play the victims. You are morons or as evil as your governments.
It doesn't matter what political parties in charge.
But post about war on terror, as if your governments didn't put people in the position for those things to happen to begin with. All the mudras and destabilizing of countries. Through formenting civil wars and the rest
It shows just how vile you people actually are.
We don’t deserve Poland.
Poland was betrayed in WWII. Even then the Free Polish that escaped the Nazis and Soviets served with extreme valor in other nation’s militaries and Free Polish units across the world until the end of the war only to be left to the mercies of the Soviet occupation. After 50 years of communist rule and oppression the Poles liberated themselves. Now they are exemplary and valiant Allies. I fervently hope Poland is never left to fend for themselves ever again.
God bless Poland!
I WHOLEHEARTEDLY agree with this in spirit. However, our current president left all of Afghanistan, including lots of people who helped us there over 20 years, to die just to claim a "moral victory" by ending our presence there (aside from all the valuable equipment we left for the Taliban) in his 1st year in office. The Brits were so furious at their forces being abandoned to their fate as well they declared that the USA can't be trusted anymore in international conflicts. We don't have ANYONE'S back, not even our own citizens at home. (I meant NO OFFENSE to your fine words, please be assured. Poland & it's people deserve our respect.)
I grew up in Australia and Japan and San Diego, CA because my father was fighting the cold war as a naval officer. The current tension feels really too familiar. I don’t like conflict, but my psyche was so hardened, I can’t seem to muster any anxiety. It is what it is. Think I’ll go enjoy my life while I have one.
I’m a USAF brat, grew up in Turkey, Panama, & US, settled in Australia now. I share your sentiment.
I think most people in GenX share the ambivalence. We grew up expecting nukes to land on us. It lead to an attitude of "if we die, we die."
@@chrisd7047 That is EXACTLY what I've been saying lately; this tension with Russia is far too familiar. I guess the good news (?) is that today's nukes tend to deal out radiation differently than they used to, and provided you can be treated in time, we may be able to avoid a lot of the effects of radiation poisoning. So, good times, eh? 🤦♀️
@@cc1k435 We'll do great so long as no one proposes that radiation treatment can be replaced by horse de-wormer.
All of us Gen. W kids from the 80s just cue up Tina Turner's "I Don't Need Another Hero" and Mike + the Mechanics "Silent Running" and load magazines...
I am American and watching this gave me anxiety. I have had my family members deployed in the Middle East over and over again. My heart ❤️ can’t handle much more. It’s like the cycle never stops.
Over course it never stops. Raytheon et al. need to sell missiles, planes, etc.
It will be ok, I know it's hard not to worry but I promise you, IF this ever happens that we got this.

This is the most devastating video I have seen today. These are my friends dying, both American and Russian. The entire world is my brother. I hope this never happens.
Russia can suck it!
You are an amazing human for saying those words!!! You give me hope in humanity! This is probably my new most favorite statement I have ever heard. The entire world is your brother.....yes!
Maybe tell your Russian friends to stop starting wars.
Yes Diane, there should be a better way! Unfortunately as long as there are those who refuse to play nice in the sand box, there will always be war.
I am reminded of the movie quote: "some of you may die, but that's a price I'm willing to pay" it sums up the military mindset so well.
That's just dark military humor, every military leader cares about his troops like they are their own blood. Each and every soldier, sailor, marine and airman is individually willing to take that risk.
@@Jearl_Black It's not even a real quote from military history or a serious military drama. It's a quote from the Disney movie Shrek lol.
czcams.com/video/hiKuxfcSrEU/video.html
@@evalationx2649 it fits though (-: that's the type of things you hear daily.
@@Jearl_Black If you sift through the propaganda, neither Ukraine or Russia is operating like that. If they were we'd likely see 1m+ casualties in the war by now. Neutral analysts are proposing that casualties on both sides are relatively low given the highly kinetic organized warfare we've seen in Ukraine. Take that recent Ukrainian counter offensive for an example, Russia largely gave up the ground without much serious resistance. They retreated to more defensible positions and when Ukraine could no longer push, both sides have returned to drone and artillery warfare. Russia isnt willing to risk it's airforce as much anymore either, so you're not seeing a lot of sortie operations anymore in favor of Drone and ballistic missile strikes. Ukrainian and Russian civilian deaths are also the lowest we've seen in any modern civil or international war.
Google is obviously biased towards Ukraine in this conflict and so they have a reason to make Russia look as bad as possible and they put Ukrainian Civilian casualties at 6,100 killed, and around 9,100 injured. Pro Russia sources say around 1,600 civilians killed and around 3000 civilians injured. Just compare that with the recent civil war in Syria where hundreds of thousands were killed, or injured in the first year of fighting.
Neither Ukraine or Russia is fighting this war with the mindset of "Our men are expendable". These are modern militaries that know what they're doing. It's a chess match, not a checkers game.
I cannot recall that on film but Zap Brannigan said it on Futurama.
I am a 70-year-old USAF veteran. I have been watching your videos for 2 weeks and am amazed at how much I have learned from you.
That's now the dumbest thing I have seen on CZcams to date.
Russia has outdated tech and could not withstand America's war machine. The hypothetical is really sad. It is not the leadership that would be harmed but the citizens of both nations.
@josephseed2936 you are an idiot if war came from The USA the nuclear option would be used you bloated arrogant ignorant and malignant ignorance.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Really?!😂keep smoking!
Great video Diane! And awesome shout outs Kim and Rickey!
War should definitely be the absolute last resort. Unfortunately, some folks don't want to chat. I'm one of those "don't swing first" folks. But I will protect those I love.

This video is a bit out of date about the US production and manufacturing of war materials. We’ve already begun to ramp up numbers produced by 3x the standard every year to quickly replace what was given to Ukraine and to supply other NATO nations with new equipment to replace what they had donated as well.
Don't worry Diane. If the internet goes down, we can just send you our mailing addresses so you could send us the transcript and hand drawn pictures of your video via "snail mail" It may take weeks for you to get a like and comment sent back but it will all work out.
We have 11 super carriers with more deck space than twice everyone else combined. Those weren't used in the Russian War. Does China have anything other than littoral ships? There's no way they could make it to mainland America. We have nothing to worry about other than our leadership.
Yep, we'll only fall from within
We aren’t combat effective right now, the army has had the lowest recruit rates by 25 percent. We have no more ammunition, not enough troops, terrible leadership, 45 percent of our nuclear submarine fleet is in repair, yeah buddy we are in a lot of trouble if war breaks out. Please do your research prior to making comments like this.
It is October. Good time to watch Hunt for the Red October. *“Give me a PING, Vasill. One PING only, please”*
I had a older European guy in my shop this week asking about this very subject. This video makes a distressing subject more palatable- which can help folks start conversations, hopefully with people in real life not just online
This is too close to actually happening. Makes me really sad 😢. You are correct, “….people in politics are absolutely mad…” and yes please, more peace less war.
“….people in politics..." oh my sweet summer child)
most likely, you do not live near russia and do not know the mood of ordinary russian people who would gladly kill, rob, rape Americans and not only Americans, this is the other side of the great russian culture )
The bit about Russian tank crews experiencing “significant emotional events” comes from another Irish youtuber, The Chieftain. He was Irish Army before he moved to America and became a tank officer.
Happy Friday Diane!!! I hope it’s been a wonderful week for you. Always glad to see you’re smile…makes my days better

We can only pray it never happens. Iran is helping Russia fight Ukraine with suicide drones and they along with China would likely side with Russia if they were at war with the U.S. I think the more important question now is what will the U.S. do if China tries to take Taiwan. Nicely done D! Have a peaceful weekend and be safe! ❤️U☘️🇮🇪🇺🇸
China wouldn’t get involved. They have denounced Russia’s invasion.
India would likely join Russia as well.
China would probably try to stay out of a Russia vs US fight especially if the fight was instigated by Russia using weapons of mass destruction. It'd be most advantageous for China to wait for US power to be spent on Russia and to just watch and learn our capabilities.
If China invades Taiwan there will be war. The US doesn't have an actual treaty with Taiwan because international law still regards it as a pseudo-country rather than a fully independent nation state and, more importantly, China would throw a fit, but instead there's a law saying the US must protect Taiwan's independence.
World War 3 is depressing on every level.
Tearing up the negotiated agreement with Iran to have outside nuclear inspectors visit was not the best decision made. It has backfired badly. No second term for T !
"all the people in politics are mad"
Yeah, that sums it up.
The problem with these what if military attack scenarios is that they can't successfully predict the future & are based on a chain of fictional events.
Aww thank you for the shout-out Kim!! My channel is a labor of love and I super appreciate it!!
Yay 🎉Eric!
Infographics is an awesome channel! I especially like the Challenges they put their favorite staff member through, like can't shower for a month, or going to a haunted hospital. Their SCP and Backrooms channels are awesome creeptastic fun. (Well, except for SCP-049 The Plague Doctor, SCP-529 Josie the Half Cat, and SCP-999 The Tickle Monster.)
I was in the North Carolina Army National Guard from 1981 to 1987. The veterans in the United States would still defend the United States.

@@DianeJennings chanting never gets anything accomplished, not war mongering here, but sitting on fence, you get taken
Do you advocate unconditionally surrendering to Russia?
Diane I am currently writing a fiction book and one of the characters alludes to exactly what you said, that in war the costs of human lives taints the victory.
I think the dialogue coming from a main characters is due to my experience of my father being assigned to Warzone when I was a young boy. Some of my friends were not as lucky and lost a father or sometimes a mother.
One thing that they failed to mention was how a swarm of AGM-88 HARM missiles would take out a large portion of the Russian S300 and S400 defense systems right at the start.
Cyberwarfare is indeed a very dangerous threat. Even 23 years ago the world was so dependent on computer/internet technology that concerns about computer dating systems being unable to adjust to the change to a new century lead to the Y2K scare.
Only thing to take into account now is if Russia does have allies and what would happen then? Great react video! Love seeing these!
Love ya, Diane, and all the Patrons, and all the new Members for their support of your channel. For that reason I will respectfully keep my mouth shut. I have too many opinions in this matter.
Thanks for being you, and for giving everyone a place to come three times a week _(five times a week for Patrons and Members)._
Keeping your mouth shut is never going to get you anywhere
Not sure if it would happen this way, all things considered. Love your videos!! 💚💚🇮🇪🇮🇪☘️☘️
"All the people in politics are mad"...words of wisdom beyond your young years!
Best quote on CZcams this year!
It'd been said in one way or another wars are won by the logistically ready side. "Amateurs talk about battles, Professionals talk and practice logistics." Nice Presentation, Ms Jennings, Thanks!!!
I was a Logistics Officer and retired from DLA. This old saying comes from the time of Hannibal. It is true if fighting a conventional war. Unfortunately not true on the nuclear battlefield and we know it.
You are the best Irish citizen that there is! My evidence? It's how you mention Ireland instantly whenever it's on a map!

Hi Diane, I got the first "like"again! When I was a kid there was a very real threat in fear of a war with Russia (at least to the grown ups). Once a week we would have a nuclear attack drill at school. We went into the hall knelt down face to the wall, crouched forward and covered our heads with our hands. Being that we were 2 mi from a strategic Air command base and a major defense contractor, we would have been vaporized in a nanosecond.There were designated fallout shelters throughout the city and everyone was supposed to know where they were. Ours was in the basement of the Amon Carter museum of Western art. There were no concerns with strategy, it was just going to be a nuclear slugfest. Luckily Ireland is probably not a priority Target for a nuclear attack nor is Spain, thank God. However, you never know so you and Chewie practice your duck and cover drills just in case! Tell Chewie hi, I love you Diane and goodbye for now.
Randal Mayeux: Ireland won't be a target, but, based on prevailing winds, could catch lots of fallout from England. Spain would be a direct target because of Rota Spain having a US Military base. Once again, depending on the winds, it could wipe out Mallorca with fall out.
I'm of the firm belief that anyone who votes to go to war should be the first to send their sons and daughters to the front lines. If they have no children, then they are sent in their childrens stead.
Happy Friday! I really enjoy this video. Have a very good weekend.
Diane, there is a good video on Canadian Prepper's channel from about a year or so ago where he did an hour by hour simulation narrative of how a cyber attack would play out. I think you would like it.
Thanks for reacting to it Diane!
In the 1980s a movie called Red Dawn was made, it was about America being invaded by the Soviet Union. The movie was rebooted recently and this time it was North Korea. Either movie is a pretty realistic portrayal of what would happen. There are some famous quotes made by the tyrants in World War 2 which explain why.
Japanese admiral Yamamoto (hopefully I spelled that correctly) made the statement that "You can not invade America. There is a gun behind every blade of grass."
Adolf Hitler made the statement "To conquer a nation, you must first disarm the citizens."
I don't know who this quote belongs to, or even which war it's from, but "The enemy of my enemy is my friend."
America has the largest and most resourceful standing army in the world between the hunters, armed criminals, and law abiding citizens. We have militias who are trained in guerilla warfare. If you ever want to know how to make something work with caveman technology, just ask a cajun in the swamps, a hillbilly in the sticks, a moonshiner in the mountains, or an eskimo in the Alaskan tundra.
America is an extremely large nation with many types of terrain to make it very difficult to trek. Our cajuns in the swamps have boats and marsh buggies that would blow your mind because swamps are too shallow for conventional boats and too deep for conventional jeeps, trucks, or tanks. The mountains pose different challenges, as well as the desert and plains.
To add to those logistical difficulties we are armed to the teeth and the hunters will lose you in the woods, attacking you from the trees, or beneath the brush. The inner city criminals are very experienced in urban warfare, and the people in the desert have machinery you would see in a Mad Max movie, both deadly and toughened against abrasion from sand and dust. The people in the mountains are experienced in extreme terrain and have the high ground, able to snipe from miles away.
I'm not saying it's impossible to invade America, but we would give an invading army bloody hell and we have lots of people who know how to survive without all that luxurious technology. With all that said, I don't fear invasion, I fear nuclear or biological warfare.
War should always be a last resort. However, we know why we signed up for when we joined the military. I knew there was a decent chance I’d die while serving (luckily I didn’t). It’s part of the job, and having an all volunteer military makes us that much better at the end of the day. Great video!
Happy, Happy Friday to Diane & Chewie! I hope little Chewie's paws aren't bothering him today.
He’s not bad at all today! Thank you 😊
First problem with how this video starts a war is that the prez is smart and nimble on his feet and thinking. HAHAHAHA
Happy Friday to you Diane! Hope that you're doing well. I don't relish the thought of America being at War with anyone, let alone Russia. I know that this easily could have been a distinct possibility even then. This channel sure makes good use of its graphics with regards to this particular scenario. I found this video of yours to be very fascinating. You should react to this documentary about Nostradamus narrated by Orson Welles called "The Man Who Saw Tomorrow." You would definitely trip off of that. Thanks for sharing this video Diane. Have a great weekend my lovely friend and be well. Say hi to Chewie for me! Take care and stay safe!
3:20 This is impossible. The President cannot declare war - Congress does.
Not one mention of the A-10 Warthog. By far the best US close support aircraft.
Back in the 80's I went to work in the defense industry. My first job was working at the company that made the Apache Attack helicopter. This was a tank killer. We have been planning for this since the 1960s (probably even earlier). We have run the scenarios thousands of times. My last job in defense (15 years later) was working for the company that built the M1A1 Abrams tank. Putin has shown us he has nothing but B.S. to back him up. We have all kinds of battle tested intel and weapons systems that will show Putin he has lost any advantage that his behavior may have given him. He will rapidly run out of options if he engages us. I hope his countrymen don't let him be this foolish much longer. This is like shaking a can of soda. You don't want to open it afterwards!
I served on the M1A1 Abrams. I will love that machine until the day I die.
Вот это ты объяснил парень! Ты такой глупой и не чего вообще не знаешь не про Россию и не про Америку на будущие тебе мы на фронт отдаем старые советские вооружение специально высасываем все новые соки с нато! А потом увидишь кто победит и плюс если это случиться то победителей не будет в Америке 6200 боеголовок ядерных в России 7450 весь мир в труху лет на 500 идиот ты парень интернет убийца!! Лезьте везде как паразиты потом думайте что будит!
The Apache is a beautiful machine. I wish I was used for less war things
Russia can't even take over Ukraine successfully without suffering heavy losses. No way could Russia successfully go to war with us unless they had backing from China & half the world's countries to even stand a chance.
Grandpa, why didn't your American friend come to us, to his Russian brother? And then we thought that everyone was running to us from Afghanistan to fight. And you're still not there.
United States and Russia will never be at war. We’re just trying to defend as much as possible the innocent people of Ukraine. Whatever is between those two countries, that’s their issue that they need to sort out.
Awesome job. Don’t be too hard on the little Chewman. He is as always adorable. Keep up the great work on this channel.
OK, I'm just a few minutes in to the video and I see a problem. The US first strike would be a little more than firing missiles. Since the first Gulf War, the US doctrine would involve a lot of cruise missile, but it would also include Growlers and Prowlers with HARM missiles. So, as Russia turned on it's radar to track and shoot down US missiles, the radars would be jammed and destroyed. This would blind Russia to the B2's and F35's following behind. Knowing this, Russia would not turn on it's newer S400's radar. There by allowing the first strike of missiles to pass in hopes of "catching a bigger fish." And it will go from there back and forth...
At last, at long last we get our base on Kamchatka!
You did a great job with this!
When its hot around not because of bombs dropping, but Diane looks so good
Arguments over the justification of our military size and expenditure aside, not trying to go down that rabbit hole, we do have a well equipped and high tech military. Yes, the average soldier can certainly tell stories of some shotty gear, lousy transport trucks that always break down, or held together with duck tape. But as a whole and compared to most other militaries, very well equipped. Now this does lead to the "If you have a hammer, everything looks like a nail" problem. Our politicians, as well as the UN basically using, errr, "calling upon" us to be "peacekeepers" and such, can get us in alot more conflicts that many of us like. But to their credit, there are countries with far smaller, and less well equipped, militaries that get into more conflicts than us. It's amazing, given the size and quality of that hammer, that our government doesn't start more fights and even maybe conquering. Instead of going in, and trying to set up a puppe...friendlier government, and giving it back. Though I think we'd do better, by staying out of so many. We've been in a war of some sort almost constantly since we started, and that isn't even including "conflicts", which definitely weren't just smaller wars that aren't officially declared ::wink wink::.
Ok, didn't know how much we need, NEED narrator Dianne! Somebody has to make this happen
"Mel Gibson's doin'... somethin'."
Cracked me up, I laughed so loud my wife had to check on me.
Interesting video. I think I saw this "What would happen if Russia and the US went to war" sometime back. It certainly, makes one think about the possibilities.
It's a reason why The US have over 800 bases around the world outside the USA so in case we go to war we can stock up our supplies during war. You should do a reaction to how many US Military bases there is around the world. It's about 800 that's know to public
Ukraine looks small on that map, but it is still the largest country in all of Europe.
Diane nice use of one of my favorite scenes from The Office 🤣💚
13:16 Yes, war is sad and messy, but often necessary when talking no longer works and both sides do not simply walk away.

1968: Uh, our big, heavy fighters with missiles keep getting into dogfights and we have no guns.

Great video, as always! 😃
We never undestmat Russia and they better not underestimate the us
Lol I like how you threw "my job" in there.
As an American marine we don't want war. We just can't stand a bully 😤
They forgot that we have an aircraft carrier group sitting in the south China sea that could head a bit north and do some flyby (no need to even attack just remind them they need to worry about their backs) over eastern Russia. This would force Russia to split its air force and air defense meaning less on the western front meaning less losses for us.
We should settle these things over a good game of scrabble, winner take all
Love the videos!! But this could really happen and is very scary!!
Besides nuclear escalation, I think the biggest concern would be other nations taking the opportunity to settle scores or join the conflict while the US, UN, and NATO are distracted. China could go after Taiwan, North Korean could provoke South Korea, old hostilities in the Middle East and places like India/Pakistan could also flare up. Which could also escalate to nuclear exchanges. Assuming it doesn't lead to nuclear escalation in any conflict, I think the US and allies would win in the end but it would wreck global economy and have huge lasting effects on everything.
I was a soldier at one time and I can tell you that no one knows how wasteful and how bad war is other than a soldier.
Like you mentioned, the cyber stuff is EXTREMELY realistic and possible. Maybe, create a small "go bag"/food supply/cash on hand, if something like this were to happen?
You should always have a go bag anyway. Natural disasters, etc.

Yes, we do depend on other countries for a lot of materials, but as for 'producing' things... Remember, in WWII, we were making cars, not tanks. We were making boats, not bombers. America today looks like something out of Mad Max with the destruction our own politics are causing, but give us a singular target to focus on 'together', and we become a completely different beast.
Just as with WWII.... IF, another large-scale conflict would happen, vehicle productions of Trucks and SUV's would quickly shift over to Tanks and such, Shipyards would come online with mass-buildup and such...
NOT saying this would happen overnight, or that it would happen 'exactly' as it did back in WWII... but it WOULD happen in a similar way.
Fallacy in the logic of this hypothetical situation is that “retrofitting old equipment towards a modern threat” hasn’t already started happening.
Ironically the biggest setback in such a war to the US is that it’ll divert attention from the pacific for many months, allowing Beijing free time to pursue its own goals almost uncontested, maybe even taking control of Taiwanese held islands much closer to the mainland than Taiwan.
You know what the US military doctrine is, right? The US military's doctrine is what determines their funding and is why the American defense budget is so high. The US has the equipment and capabilities to fight two separate full theater wars against near-peer adversaries simultaneously.
The US has three geography-based fleets - Atlantic, Pacific, and Asiatic.
In a war with Russia in eastern Europe, only the Atlantic fleet would be participating. The somewhat larger Pacific fleet is the one keeping an eye on Chinese forces.

I don't think the Infographics Channels strategy is even close to what could happen.
As a Canadian I will not deny that if the campaigns went in are favor I would cheer to my voice went out. But as a military man I also know the old saying "Nothing ever goes according to plan."
Diane, check the tiny labels on the sides of you headphones. There is a right and left, also the left has the wire coming out of it. And I totally agree with you, war sucks and shoud be avoided.
"a lot of things..." You are so right.
May I suggest you listen to "Toby Keith's" Angry American? I believe that one-half of Americans still shed a tear when they hear this song.
Something I find crazy is during war times our military spending can go up to 3 times the amount it's currently at ain't that crazy
Sadly the threat of war actually helps to keep peace. If your enemies know you’ll react they may be more willing to talk and work it out that way. Hitler got as far as he did because everytime he took a country the rest of Europe, who didn’t want another war, just said “don’t do that again” and then they did and no one did anything
The Pentagon reported that it had to mothball 42% of aviation due to a shortage of repair components and fuel until 2042
This video is unrealistic. Russia will use tactical nukes on American staging and resupply lines, rather than depleting their conventional forces.
Diane's reaction to "Despite losses..." made me think of a line from M*A*S*H*: "War isn't hell. War is War, and hell is hell. And of the two, war is worse. ... [In hell] there are no innocent bystanders."
"There are no innocent bystanders in Hell" is said by Hawkeye in the show, no brackets or rearranging needed.
Hey Diane... I'd like to point out some major flaws in this video based on Frontline reports and a lack of strategies the US can deploy.
The US is likely to repel all Russian aircraft as their first action. The S400 systems haven't proved effective against any HIMARS currently deployed. So we could launch more powerful long range cruise missiles from aircraft carriers or cargo planes to take out and overwhelm air defense, while the F-35 & F-22 & B-2 units come in behind to strike munitions, air bases, fuel depots, rails, bridges, and major roads. Accomplishing this without entering Russian airspace by using AWACS radar to extend weapon range and keep pilots safe!
Simultaneously US F15 and F16 squadrons would attack all Russian air and ground assets. The Navy would deploy the newest stealth fighter drone the F-21 Raider to loiter on air routes used in retaliating Russia jets when the first wave is on a refueling/ rearming trip.
Upon the arrival all previously supplied Ukraine assets would be confiscated for US troop use. Marines and Airborne would be at the tip of the spear behind the immediate Frontline, to eliminate a retreat. All the HIMARS would be moved forward to secure position and US SAAM sights established.
Nighttime special operations would be deployed to start clearing high risk areas like infrastructure, then reinforced immediately. 🦭 6.
Infantry and ground support would pound all Russian positions with accurate fire from a greater distance than what the Russians can reach. Also using Predator drones with hellfire missiles.
In the meantime we've forgotten Cyber Warfare and the activation of the multi generational computer virus StuxNet, which can physically cripple Russian infrastructure and render their financial markets useless.
Details about Russian tanks and jets, they have significant design flaws. T-90 advanced tanks are lacking reactive armor and can be destroyed easily from a single shoulder fired Javeline missile. Even the SU jets and helicopters have been shotdown with 80's era stinger missiles from ground soldiers. This is why China would not risk an invasion into Taiwan or a strike on the US. They are vulnerable by using the same weapon systems. Anything high tech they do have are in extremely limited numbers.
The scary thing is the US could have Ukraine secured in less than a week. But without an official declaration of Russian defeat, then Russia would be forced to deploy tactical and strategic nukes. The US would likely attempt a pre-emptive strike utilizing CHAMP EMP missiles and high altitude EMPs in an attempt to neutralize the threat and take out all guidance systems. And if it were to fail, we'd have a nuclear winter across all Europe and in the US.
The US and world economies would collapse, US foreign aid cutoff, and nations would have to defend for themselves when they should have been contributing to NATO and building their defenses. All enemies to the US would begin aligning and potentially striking out. Like Iran vs Israel. China vs everyone.
So even though the US can literally overwhelm and eliminate every enemy it deems a threat, it can come at a catastrophic cost to humanity. Please remember in the years to come that the US hates war but we're not afraid of it and will not worry about winning hearts and minds any longer...
May God bring peace to us all.
Excellent video, thank you. It illustrates what we all probably know, in case of a war of this magnitude, the US will most likely "win", but the casualties and logistical losses will be significant. Hopefully, it won't come to this.
The President has no authority to declare war, that power is reserved to the Congress.
I wonder what these guys would have said about Ameria's involvement in VietNam if they were creating these videos in 1962
"Mel Gibson is doing something!" That's funny right there!
it's so Irish to think that a fistfight will solve national level problems. im only half kidding. I know you were too.
