My Dad loved England, in particular.
I mean a good reason why the US also spends a lot more than most other countries is because one the US military has one of the biggest volunteer militaries in the world (looking at you north korea!), and the R&D of the US for military technology is far greater capacity. Most other nations usually just reverse engineer the US's tech so their R&D is lesser. Of course still accounting for that, the US would still be greater than multiple countries combined

Us millennials love our country, what you talking about?! We just have a different viewpoint about war, and critiquing our country to be better doesn't equate to wanting our country to burn and crumble, or even hating our country. It's actually the complete opposite. Now, are there people who feel that way, regardless of age and what not? Sure, but those I'd say are anarhcists.
As a US Navy vet, remember that our traditions come from the greatest navy that ever existed before ours. The British navy in the 19th century had no peer. Also, when Churchill said that the British people would fight 'them' on the landing fields on the beaches he wasn't kidding. We love our cousins and would never go to war with you. God save the Queen and God bless the United States.

Brits when there is no war: Chill relax. Appeasement Tea. Brits during war: We shall NEVER SURRENDER WE SHALL DEFEND OUR ISLAND HOME WHATEVER THE COST MAY BE.
It is a lot easier to defend an island, than live in a country that has borders with potential enemies, like France or Belgium, which has numerous countries around them. The water that surrounds the UK acts as a buffer zone.
@@catlover1986 Depending on one's standard of living, a lot of petty crimes can be rooted to poverty or people not attaining the first two levels of Maslow's hierarchy of needs. People will be pushed to do something they don't want to do out of survival and desperation. With that said, even if we completely shut out our borders, we will always have crime within our society, unless, we fulfill the needs of all members of our society. With that said, it also doesn't help that there's uncertainty and distrust towards illegal immigrants because there's no way we can truly track them coming in, and filter who are coming in. I won't dabble into politics but I do agree that in the larger scheme of things, it's not safe when we just let anyone into our country, but I wouldn't pit illegal immigrants to most of our crime here in the US. We have enough going on locally and within our own communities already haha
Here is the Sub. I saw your pain... and I loved it! fantastic content I could see the heat in your face watching. From an American hilarious. But no seriously I don't see the 2 countries fighting anytime soon.

Came here straight from your Revolutionary War video, how the tables have turned! (jk haha) In all seriousness despite what it might seem (cough, media), the average person here in the States loves a good bit of banter as well. Besides that, I couldn't imagine this sort of scenario ever taking place, for loads of reasons. Love your videos, great work brother!
After recent events, I think it's more likely the Brits could politely ask for another go at running the American government, no shots fired... and I think most of the population would vote for them to give it a second try. It couldn't be worse than what we got now. Good reaction, thanks for making it.
You may do more of these. You should know that edutainment vids like these often don't have any surprise endings. The interest is in the hypotheticals, review of the stats, and the analysis. Some of Binkov's vids have less obvious endings though.
Also what he didn't mention is. Our carriers are Nuclear powered. Meaning they can be a sea for YEARS before needing to head back to port. No fuel needed. All you need is supply.
US & UK Have a mother/daughter relationship. Mother was the hot stuff till she gave birth. Mom kept teaching, daughter thought it was being told twhat to do. Daughter got angry and talked back to mom and stopped listening to mom. But Now, even after all that, daughter grew up and realized mom knew what she was talking about and now they can sit at the same table and talk while one drinks coffee and the other has her tea. Cheers
The British burned the Whitehouse, and the US burned York Canada. The War of 1812 was a stalemate. Territory didn't changed hands, because no one won. The UK performed badly at the end, and gave into US pre-war demands, and both sides signed off on the pre-war status
I can never doubt the tenacity and strength of the British people, that I learned from the pictures of citizens inside bomb shelters. The smiled and played cards and supported those around them as Nazi bombers destroyed their cities and their homes. Those simple pictures and the evacuations of dunkirk is all that's needed to know how the British people come together from hardships. Its something I think our countries share and I could probably assure you there would be wide scale riots and revolts inside the U.S if they did this. As much as we are the "rebellious child" England is still out historic mother country and after everything our two countries have been through, standing shoulder to shoulder in the trenches, storming the beaches of normandy, england's response after 911 and mourning with us, this is something we faced together and hasn't been forgotten by us on this side of the pond.
One important tidbit is that before any carriers or naval vessels arrived, B-2 bombers would have taken off from mainland USA and dropped bombs on strategic locations, similar to in Baghdad
As a US combat vet who has met a fair number of Brits while on deployments, I can say that the average British soldier is slightly better than your average US soldier just by their tenacity alone. With the recent conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq, the Brits did a bayonet charge on fortified enemy positions, on two separate occasions... and won. Most of the time the US would just call for air/artillery support before moving in or declare the position unattainable and retreat. We may have the largest budget, but technology can only carry you so far in war, especially a protracted one. The only reason we became the only military superpower in the world is our ability to form AND KEEP alliances. Without our allies we would not be able to sustain such power.
To add on to your comment about aircraft carriers, imagine refitting and upgrading an entire city every 18 months with new tech, software, and hardware. You have installation, testing, then training for the crew to use it.
The US Army's specialized 10th Mountain Division used to do exercises simulating political chaos in Canada necessitating, for some outlandish reason, a US seizure of Ottawa!
It takes a U S Aircraft Carrier 7 days to get from Virginia to the Arabian sea not weeks. Aircraft carriers ( The United States has 11 Nuclear powered Carriers which can sail for 25 years without refueling) are some of the fastest Naval ships. Each Carrier has approximately 80 combat aircraft and 20 or so Support Aircraft.Our Bomber Fleet can attack almost anywhere from American Bases and return in one mission. They could sit off England's coast and launch Conventional Cruise Missiles against any targets in the UK. Before even thinking of landing troops American Naval and Air Force assets would "Soften" up and destroy Strategic, Industrial and other Supply lines before invading.
I so enjoyed this video. As an American we agree this video subject matter was rather unrealistic to say the least, but watching your highly salty reaction to it was hilarious and highly entertaining. Im crying....LOL! This is why you just gotta love the Brits. That typical reaction of when a Brit gets his face pushed into the mud and he comes up stubbornly and loudly cursing whatever "bloody wanker" is responsible. Haha, dont ever change UK, dont ever change.
You should check out “could America invade Russia if it wanted too?” Much more interesting and fair, as UK didn’t stand a chance and would get absolutely pounded- 🤣
This was comedy gold man, couldn’t have done a better job if you were a professional actor. You earned the like, comment and sub in exchange for the salt and soul 😂
"They'd land the troops, in like Scotland, they'd have a look around and think, 'It ain't fkin worth it lads. We're off!'" US troops, most (including myself) previously deployed in Iraq, Afghanistan, Egypt, Djibouti, Kuwait, and various African countries; would think it was the Promised Land...
We actually have 20+ carriers for some reason they don't count our smaller carriers when are little ones are just as big as other countries carriers Not only this but if we're in a major battle our 2 million military service can swell up to 20 million plus with the draft.
Also they don't say anything about the US stealth bombers either but you don't have to worry because we would never attack our brothers in arms. LoL I mean this is only for fun. All and what ever we show the world we have stuff to beat that we try to keep 50 years ahead of what we show. Top secret scary stuff !!! What the world sees the US spend on military services is 700 billion dollars we don't show you how much money goes into our top secret programs.
The United States has a population of 320 million and England has 60 million. Remember during WW2 America supplied it's Allies with most of its Armaments and other supplies. If the war was a long drawn out affair, the United States has a significant fleet of Mothballed Naval Vessels and Hundreds of Aircraft sitting in Arizona that could be put back into service or Cannibalized for parts. These deactivated aircraft include F16, F15, F14, F18 and even F4's. Once America got a foothold in Britain we would send troops and supplies. The U.S. uses Civilian Airliners as troop transports during war, when I was deployed to Operation Desert Shield/Storm I flew over in a civilian Airliner.
My point of view is... Historically, Britain has been around and winning wars for CENTURIES. You have to fight the ENTIRE war with the UK from start to finish.....and much like Russia, even if the US won A) it would be down to the last man standing and B) They'd come back.
@@JamesCornwall95 thank you! Sorry forgot to mention that the video is by Wendover productions. theres another video with the same title so i just wanted to make it clear!
So after a year the US still wouldn't be able to take Scotland nor Wales. Anybody else suddenly feel the urge to start shouting " wolverines, wolverines!" after seeing that play out in the video? Really hope at least one person gets the reference.
He is right about the upsets. That and the US relies way too heavily on technology. The brits probably do as well. The resistance in the Middle East knows that and that’s why they give so much problems.
The distance doesn't matter because the nuclear machines can stay operating for well over a year without ever stopping..supply is the only reason for stopping but there would be supply ships doing most of the running back&fourth. Realistically this would never happen though as Britain is are closest friends for a very long time..it'd take some pearl harbor type shit to even have a thought of going to war.
The US and the UK are way too close for this to ever happen. Not only are we basically blood allies, neither side would benefit. The US and UK use business and politics to get what we want from each other, war would only get in the way of both. Not to mention our strategic strength is greater as allies, and the general public (and military) would respond very badly to the idea. Our military men have fought by UK servicemen for over a decade, I've heard more than one call them brothers in arms. A stupid, pointless war would be a disaster for the politicians. Like others said, I'm sure theres a plan (in both govts) for every possibility. But I'm equally sure this won't happen in this century. 🤷♀️
I agree... This is dumb. As an American, to even talk about such a thing seems like sacrilege as we are like relatives on the world's stage. No two nations of the world, are so closely tied, and with such a shared history.
All you have to do is remember the war of independence we took on the mighty British Empire and won. Sometimes the smaller can win over the bigger not in this version but sometimes lol.
this is interesting because i just went to falcon field park. it is a retired air force training ground in my hometown. I saw the memorial there. It had all the names of the soldiers who trained their and then died in the war. There were more RAF pilots than USAF pilots on the memorial. no way in hell would we invade britain.
Don't complain mate. I'm half german half polish. One half always goes crazy and still loses every world war. The other half gets contstantly invaded. I would really love to see my contry bombed into submission only in a fictional CZcams Video. ;) Still subed ^^
Best strategy would be to invade northern Ireland first There would be some allies on the ground and Air Bases could be set up to attack the rest of the United Kingdom and use it as a staging area for an invasion

I could totally see millennials burning our own country down before they allowed our military to invade Hogwarts. LOL
This comment is brilliant 😂😂
Us millennials love our country, what you talking about?! We just have a different viewpoint about war, and critiquing our country to be better doesn't equate to wanting our country to burn and crumble, or even hating our country. It's actually the complete opposite. Now, are there people who feel that way, regardless of age and what not? Sure, but those I'd say are anarhcists.
@@alistairt7544 Twas a joke, bro. Chill
As a US Navy vet, remember that our traditions come from the greatest navy that ever existed before ours. The British navy in the 19th century had no peer. Also, when Churchill said that the British people would fight 'them' on the landing fields on the beaches he wasn't kidding. We love our cousins and would never go to war with you.
God save the Queen and God bless the United States.
Love this comment ❤️Godbless America and God save the Queen 👑 🇬🇧❤️🇺🇸
might i suggest the videos "why switzerland is the safest place during ww3" by real life lore or "russo japanese war" by feature history? Both are very interesting, specifically the russo japanese war since it's COMPLETELY overlooked across most of the world
You got I'll do em this week !
Aw, we like you Brits. If we're going to invade somewhere, we should invade Canada, send them to Australia, and bring the Australians to Canada.
Why the swap ? Is it because of Canada's political leaning ? I heard they are a friendly people 😂😂
@@JamesCornwall95 - LOL. In the dictionary definition of "sanctimonious," it says "see: Canadians." (Of course, the same is true of "inferiority complex.")
hahahahahah
Your reactions are so entertaining. Nice video man! :D
They should do “could the UK invade the US?” 🤣
I would like to see a scenario video. Canada Russia China and Mexico. Invade mainland USA.
@@tommccan1866 That would be a pretty lame video 😂
Mexico is the only country that would reach the US border, but they'd be conquered in a week. The Russians and Chinese wouldn't get within 1000 miles of our coast.
simple answer; nope, no one has troop transport
@@tommccan1866 omg as a American we will be destroyed from all 4 sides
Hey man, in the end you guys are like our closest ally out of all and I couldn’t imagine any conflict between our two nations happening any time soon. You have our backs just as much as we have yours 🇺🇸❤️🇬🇧
Brits when there is no war:
Chill relax. Appeasement Tea.
Brits during war:
We shall NEVER SURRENDER
WE SHALL DEFEND OUR ISLAND HOME
WHATEVER THE COST MAY BE.
That cost is usually paid by the US. The UK only recently paid off (a fraction) of their war debts
It is a lot easier to defend an island, than live in a country that has borders with potential enemies, like France or Belgium, which has numerous countries around them. The water that surrounds the UK acts as a buffer zone.
@@catlover1986 Depending on one's standard of living, a lot of petty crimes can be rooted to poverty or people not attaining the first two levels of Maslow's hierarchy of needs. People will be pushed to do something they don't want to do out of survival and desperation. With that said, even if we completely shut out our borders, we will always have crime within our society, unless, we fulfill the needs of all members of our society. With that said, it also doesn't help that there's uncertainty and distrust towards illegal immigrants because there's no way we can truly track them coming in, and filter who are coming in. I won't dabble into politics but I do agree that in the larger scheme of things, it's not safe when we just let anyone into our country, but I wouldn't pit illegal immigrants to most of our crime here in the US. We have enough going on locally and within our own communities already haha
To me is unthinkable. I can't imagine. It's way more likely we will be fighting alongside each others. We're brothers.
I bloody hope so 😂😂
Here is the Sub. I saw your pain...
and I loved it! fantastic content I could see the heat in your face watching. From an American hilarious. But no seriously I don't see the 2 countries fighting anytime soon.
The trick is to get Swedish submarine technology. It’s so “primitive” that they could take down American destroyers without detection. I’m not even joking 😂
Canadians have already dug tunnels under most of America so we can undermine them whenever we need to..... like in 2024 when Trump comes back even worse eh.
@@JuandeFucaU you really think people from America would let people from America go through tunnels?
me just watching this in the US, and thinking, "Damn, we spend a lot on our military>" It is almost absurd.
It's like damn bro who you racing ? You won already 😂
@@JamesCornwall95 so true, so true
Facts! I was thinking the same thing! Can we put some of those funds into education?
@@charlottedrolet9000 I mean to be the worlds policemen you have to be several leagues above or you risk the chance of being caught up to. But I agree the education sucks.
I don’t want to be that guy but if the rest of NATO Pulled their weight we wouldn’t have to spend so much on our military.
You can just see that "hope" in his eyes slowly begin to fade the longer you watch.
Came here straight from your Revolutionary War video, how the tables have turned! (jk haha) In all seriousness despite what it might seem (cough, media), the average person here in the States loves a good bit of banter as well. Besides that, I couldn't imagine this sort of scenario ever taking place, for loads of reasons. Love your videos, great work brother!
Love your vids man thanks for the insight into British thinking
Love bro ❤️
10:50 "And all of this didn't even include the US air force" 😆🤣
Good reaction brother l enjoy the saltiness make me laugh 🤣 so good I enjoy your reactions. Hi from across the pond Texas.
I'm fairly new to your channel and I've found I love your videos. You've got yourself a new sub.
Thankyou brother 💪🏼
After recent events, I think it's more likely the Brits could politely ask for another go at running the American government, no shots fired... and I think most of the population would vote for them to give it a second try. It couldn't be worse than what we got now. Good reaction, thanks for making it.
I like this guys vibe lol, now ubscribed🙏
Yo, this video is too good. You've got to do more high reactions!
You may do more of these. You should know that edutainment vids like these often don't have any surprise endings. The interest is in the hypotheticals, review of the stats, and the analysis. Some of Binkov's vids have less obvious endings though.
Also what he didn't mention is. Our carriers are Nuclear powered. Meaning they can be a sea for YEARS before needing to head back to port. No fuel needed. All you need is supply.
US & UK Have a mother/daughter relationship. Mother was the hot stuff till she gave birth. Mom kept teaching, daughter thought it was being told twhat to do. Daughter got angry and talked back to mom and stopped listening to mom. But Now, even after all that, daughter grew up and realized mom knew what she was talking about and now they can sit at the same table and talk while one drinks coffee and the other has her tea. Cheers
Love your humor 😂
another great video tho love the reaction
Really appreciate bro 💪🏼
Love the video
18:54 had me dying, Love from across the pond my friend 🇺🇸🇬🇧
"The Time the British Burned Down the White House" By Buzzfeed Multiplayer. I'm surprised by the fact no territory was lost.
The British burned the Whitehouse, and the US burned York Canada.
The War of 1812 was a stalemate. Territory didn't changed hands, because no one won. The UK performed badly at the end, and gave into US pre-war demands, and both sides signed off on the pre-war status
I can never doubt the tenacity and strength of the British people, that I learned from the pictures of citizens inside bomb shelters. The smiled and played cards and supported those around them as Nazi bombers destroyed their cities and their homes. Those simple pictures and the evacuations of dunkirk is all that's needed to know how the British people come together from hardships. Its something I think our countries share and I could probably assure you there would be wide scale riots and revolts inside the U.S if they did this. As much as we are the "rebellious child" England is still out historic mother country and after everything our two countries have been through, standing shoulder to shoulder in the trenches, storming the beaches of normandy, england's response after 911 and mourning with us, this is something we faced together and hasn't been forgotten by us on this side of the pond.
Bro that was one hell of message, love my American brothers ❤️also standing next to 2 of the Knights Templar in your profile pic won me over 😂
@@JamesCornwall95 not complaining just asking,but aren't those hospittaler?
America - Hey Britain, how about round three
Britain - How about a nice game of checkers, backgammon or chess instead
America - Yeah.......good idea
I appreciate you saying you’re salty because most people would just talk shit
One important tidbit is that before any carriers or naval vessels arrived, B-2 bombers would have taken off from mainland USA and dropped bombs on strategic locations, similar to in Baghdad
How can you be a hater? YOU MADE US! 😂
Didn't think like that 😂
Is your cap cut in half dude? Cheers from Texas btw
Yup no cap 🧢 😂and glad to have you Brother 💪🏼
The UK would really have to do something terrible for us attack them like this.
Or discover a significant oil deposit in Scotland
@@brendanharan4501 true.😂😂 pretty much if any big corporation found something of value they wanted. We would find away to make it happen.
Well I had a great time watching this!
Haha thankyou bro 💪🏼
As a US combat vet who has met a fair number of Brits while on deployments, I can say that the average British soldier is slightly better than your average US soldier just by their tenacity alone. With the recent conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq, the Brits did a bayonet charge on fortified enemy positions, on two separate occasions... and won. Most of the time the US would just call for air/artillery support before moving in or declare the position unattainable and retreat. We may have the largest budget, but technology can only carry you so far in war, especially a protracted one. The only reason we became the only military superpower in the world is our ability to form AND KEEP alliances. Without our allies we would not be able to sustain such power.
Short Answer: Yes
But would we be able to hold it? I don't know
Is it because of the weather ? 😂😂
@@JamesCornwall95 Probably most of us aren't used to UK weather except maybe people from Seattle 😂
@@citymorgue8462 true. we'd send the weirdos from portland. they'd be used to it.
@@maciedixon3983 lolllll
To add on to your comment about aircraft carriers, imagine refitting and upgrading an entire city every 18 months with new tech, software, and hardware. You have installation, testing, then training for the crew to use it.
This was so funny bro lol
The US Army's specialized 10th Mountain Division used to do exercises simulating political chaos in Canada necessitating, for some outlandish reason, a US seizure of Ottawa!
The day we take over the UK I want first dibs on capturing Rod Stewart !!!!! Yayyyyy
It's not just equipment. The US spends more on military payroll, than on hardware.
It takes a U S Aircraft Carrier 7 days to get from Virginia to the Arabian sea not weeks. Aircraft carriers ( The United States has 11 Nuclear powered Carriers which can sail for 25 years without refueling) are some of the fastest Naval ships. Each Carrier has approximately 80 combat aircraft and 20 or so Support Aircraft.Our Bomber Fleet can attack almost anywhere from American Bases and return in one mission. They could sit off England's coast and launch Conventional Cruise Missiles against any targets in the UK. Before even thinking of landing troops American Naval and Air Force assets would "Soften" up and destroy Strategic, Industrial and other Supply lines before invading.
Wait....so there's no cap..does the cap come off? lmao is the same hat as the other vids? pretty dope
I so enjoyed this video. As an American we agree this video subject matter was rather unrealistic to say the least, but watching your highly salty reaction to it was hilarious and highly entertaining. Im crying....LOL!
This is why you just gotta love the Brits. That typical reaction of when a Brit gets his face pushed into the mud and he comes up stubbornly and loudly cursing whatever "bloody wanker" is responsible. Haha, dont ever change UK, dont ever change.
Haha it might just be the only acceptable reaction, I appreciate you man 💪🏼❤️
You should check out “could America invade Russia if it wanted too?” Much more interesting and fair, as UK didn’t stand a chance and would get absolutely pounded- 🤣
Sadie it’s me Arthur
This was comedy gold man, couldn’t have done a better job if you were a professional actor. You earned the like, comment and sub in exchange for the salt and soul 😂
Haha thanks man, means alot !!! 😂
Just be glad that we are allies and there is no reason we would go against each other
"They'd land the troops, in like Scotland, they'd have a look around and think, 'It ain't fkin worth it lads. We're off!'"
US troops, most (including myself) previously deployed in Iraq, Afghanistan, Egypt, Djibouti, Kuwait, and various African countries; would think it was the Promised Land...
I'll give ya a like for the salt alone lol.
We actually have 20+ carriers for some reason they don't count our smaller carriers when are little ones are just as big as other countries carriers
Not only this but if we're in a major battle our 2 million military service can swell up to 20 million plus with the draft.
Also they don't say anything about the US stealth bombers either but you don't have to worry because we would never attack our brothers in arms. LoL I mean this is only for fun. All and what ever we show the world we have stuff to beat that we try to keep 50 years ahead of what we show. Top secret scary stuff !!! What the world sees the US spend on military services is 700 billion dollars we don't show you how much money goes into our top secret programs.
We spend less than 10% of our entire Budget on the military
The United States has a population of 320 million and England has 60 million. Remember during WW2 America supplied it's Allies with most of its Armaments and other supplies. If the war was a long drawn out affair, the United States has a significant fleet of Mothballed Naval Vessels and Hundreds of Aircraft sitting in Arizona that could be put back into service or Cannibalized for parts. These deactivated aircraft include F16, F15, F14, F18 and even F4's. Once America got a foothold in Britain we would send troops and supplies. The U.S. uses Civilian Airliners as troop transports during war, when I was deployed to Operation Desert Shield/Storm I flew over in a civilian Airliner.
US military spending is roughly $650B as far as I know.
That is crazyyyyyyy
My point of view is... Historically, Britain has been around and winning wars for CENTURIES. You have to fight the ENTIRE war with the UK from start to finish.....and much like Russia, even if the US won
A) it would be down to the last man standing and
B) They'd come back.
We can probably make the UK a 51st state ;)
You'd be as big as Alabama hahaha just kidding, good video
May you please react to “ how aircraft carriers work” its a very interesting video :)
You got it 💪🏼
@@JamesCornwall95 thank you! Sorry forgot to mention that the video is by Wendover productions. theres another video with the same title so i just wanted to make it clear!
All I know is being an American I'm stoked to have the UK as such close Allies. 🇺🇲 🇬🇧
So after a year the US still wouldn't be able to take Scotland nor Wales. Anybody else suddenly feel the urge to start shouting " wolverines, wolverines!" after seeing that play out in the video? Really hope at least one person gets the reference.
He looks soooo baked. 😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
love you vids
He is right about the upsets. That and the US relies way too heavily on technology. The brits probably do as well. The resistance in the Middle East knows that and that’s why they give so much problems.
The distance doesn't matter because the nuclear machines can stay operating for well over a year without ever stopping..supply is the only reason for stopping but there would be supply ships doing most of the running back&fourth. Realistically this would never happen though as Britain is are closest friends for a very long time..it'd take some pearl harbor type shit to even have a thought of going to war.
That’s certainly was worth a like, subscribe and comment
The US and the UK are way too close for this to ever happen. Not only are we basically blood allies, neither side would benefit. The US and UK use business and politics to get what we want from each other, war would only get in the way of both. Not to mention our strategic strength is greater as allies, and the general public (and military) would respond very badly to the idea. Our military men have fought by UK servicemen for over a decade, I've heard more than one call them brothers in arms. A stupid, pointless war would be a disaster for the politicians. Like others said, I'm sure theres a plan (in both govts) for every possibility. But I'm equally sure this won't happen in this century. 🤷♀️
I agree... This is dumb. As an American, to even talk about such a thing seems like sacrilege as we are like relatives on the world's stage. No two nations of the world, are so closely tied, and with such a shared history.
All you have to do is remember the war of independence we took on the mighty British Empire and won. Sometimes the smaller can win over the bigger not in this version but sometimes lol.
Their actually is a video about the U.S. vs Russia and China which I believe is by The Infographics Show
Bercow (ex-speaker of house of commons) would come out of retirement and stop the American Armada with just one syllable.
this is interesting because i just went to falcon field park. it is a retired air force training ground in my hometown. I saw the memorial there. It had all the names of the soldiers who trained their and then died in the war. There were more RAF pilots than USAF pilots on the memorial. no way in hell would we invade britain.
We have alot of similar things over here, plenty of U.S war memorial that are amazing to look at ❤️
Don't complain mate. I'm half german half polish. One half always goes crazy and still loses every world war. The other half gets contstantly invaded. I would really love to see my contry bombed into submission only in a fictional CZcams Video. ;) Still subed ^^
British and American forces train non stop with each other British forces are the best in Europe for sure.
We love you guys and I could never see this happening as were practically brothers. I agree, the video is silly.
Love bro 💪🏼❤️
Best strategy would be to invade northern Ireland first
There would be some allies on the ground and Air Bases could be set up to attack the rest of the United Kingdom and use it as a staging area for an invasion
I’m here before the video I promise you the national guard and coast guard and air guard could do it.
Okay they may need a little help from the navy and air force
