The world’s industry is not currently geared towards military production.
We spend 2. 2 trillion on military globally, of 105 trillion.
$10T goes to housing
$9T to healthcare
$9T to food
$6T to Transport
$6T to energy
$5T to education
Total government expenditure globally is $36. 5 Trilion.
During the Second World War, military expense was 40% of GDP. That’s twenty times what it is now. If the world mobilised for war, the current size of a nations arsenal would be largely irrelevant in the event of a full scale protracted global war. We would be producing 20x the hardware we do currently. The US, the EU, and the BRICs are each 25% of the world GDP.
We have never seen a truly global asymmetrical war before. I suspect any war in the against the US would be using a full away of cyber attacks, political and social agitation, drones, assassinations. The capacity for rogue actors has exploded, disguised by unprecedented stability. Much like the horrors of the First World War made possible by a century of technological explosion.

The glitch is in your reasoning and reductionism. Warfare is not what it used to 20y ago. If those countries go for the gringos, this is the last thing they'll do. This is how they can wipe murica in a couple of years:
- they'll shut down all the mexico gulf oil ducts and will shut down as much as power stations as possible
- take down the internet. The cables under the oceans. Not even hospitals could work properly without cloud software. massive cyber attack to take down the big stuff just in case.
-poison the water plants with designed virus for the most populated cities.
- bioweapons via air for humans, but mostly targeting fertile farmland.
Now that you know you are going to win, you go all in, straight to the yugular.
All of these countries won't abide by your beloved accords of good behavior. They play by their own rules and you better than wake up and prepare (europeans as well, though probably you are already late, if you don't wanna get erased

Sure, America can win against even a global alliance specifically deployed against it. Even the Infographics Show showed how. But here's the thing - America's prosperity and might is reliant on the fact that it's the world police, minding everyone's crisis and enforcing the PetroDollar. If there's gonna be a global alliance against the America all it has to do really is just boycott it in all things.
1. Boycott it in future economic planning
2. Remove American companies from outside America
3. Remove American military bases outside America (mind you, not all can be removed)
4. Tailor the military not to attack America but to defend from American forces
Mind you, America might have the option of just implementing the Matthew Perry method on the rest of the world, but still, it'll take a bit of time before it'll do that.
Note: I'm talking out of my ass.

You do not have to take out ALL US military base globally to successfully invade the US. A coordinated hacker attack and sabotage on energy infrastructure will severly harper the defence abilitys of the US. You do not start an invasion with boats on the coast. You start with sabotage and dissinformation.
This video just felt like a trumped up commercial for the US army. Look at all our coolt shit
1 Gotland class sub took out the flagship in the US biggest carrier group without being noticed (during an excercise. So yeah, high tech and loads of arms can, as history shown many times over, be conterd with low tech. Swedish subs not mentioned in the global count picture as well. (4-5 active subs. Australia have 6 subs.

Watched around 14 mins of the video but frankly everyone knows US is invincible. so not really see a point to watch the entire thing but I have a genuine question: Why are general citizens still allowed to have Guns As far as I've read guns were legalized based on Switzerland model where citizens can form a defence line but now with such an invisible army/navy/airforce does US really needs its citizens to have Guns. Why not ban them entirely and make the internal environment much more peaceful
I do understand the weapons industry lobby but don't you think it's High time now

I'm not against the US but the way to kill it wouldn't be militarily, this is just dick swinging. You'd just embargo every American company and freeze any assets they have in your own countries. I'm sure the country would survive being isolated economically but it would lose everything you've just talked about in this video without the enormous amount of wealth that gets sent to the US through trade. It's the same reason why everyone wants to stop doing business with China because their power is entirely based on export.

If you combine the right to bear arms with the idea of needing a license with training to bear arms or at least go to the range so you know how to use it with a lets say 6 months mandatory milatary training
Dramatically increases the defensive capabilities of any country
If tho you are inherently against gun ownership. I think every citizen sgpuld be allowed to own and purchase less than lethal weapons for self-defense and therese not really any argument against that

You mention the well armed population several times, but you neglected to mention that as a result of having such a massive military the US also has a massive veteran population. With 6% of the civilian population being Military veterans. So while there are 2. 8 million people currently serving in the military, there are almost 10 times that who have served and the majority of whom would instantly stand up and put that training back to practice.

Maybe if you got an incredibly large plain and both the US and combined world forces faced off, then maybe the world would have a chance. (If you discounted nuclear weapons) But it would be impossible for the combined world forces to conquer such a large land mass, so many cities and so many people. I also think it would be impossible for the US conquer an entire continent (except for North America) without nuclear weapons.

Carrier's don't and can't function on their own. Nuclear power is good, but it's not that overpowering for carriers in an active war scenario. They are good for 'containment' because they can roam around a lot and be supported by allied vessels if need be. In a war scenario, the US would be limited by their support vessels range and they would need to refuel their jetfuel.

300 million vs 8. 1 billion.
26 trillions $ vs 147 trillion $ (PPP)
Somehow, this video does not feel accurate.
Does not even mention the rest of the world doesn't have military gear because they are obviously not paranoid. If there was to be an invasion of the US, how much time does it take to get all that equipment US does not even lead the silicon race anymore.

Only 1 country can/has invaded the US and that's the LGBTQ community jokes aside, mounting an invasion attempt would be suicidal because they'd be tracked via satellite and spying NOT TO MENTION the US had the ability to and would arm EVERY BLADE OF GRASS and that'll be detrimental to anyone invading the US

This video is a riot. I can almost understand now why so many Americans in the past thought this was a land designed by God Himself for them. Like, where would an enemy even begin The US looks almost impossible to fight and win in conventional terms. The only thing that looks even plausible is aliens.

You left out US greatest strenght, which is information - US would know about the attack well in advance.
But also it's greatest weakness - diverse population. Due to immigration, it is quite easy to have hostile armed groups operating on the US soil.
America's greatest threat is civil war.

You simultaneously say the US could beat the entire world and then allow the US use of bases in other countries, which they would not have if they were at war with the enitre world.
Pick a topic for the video and stick to it, it is confusing when you keep proposing different scenarios.

Not everyone would join the US military. More and more people are literally disavowing America within its own borders, and there's probably a lot of servicemen who'd still not allow their children to join the military even if the homeland is under attack.

How to defeat the us.
Block all their trade. Starc them out of wepons. Kick them out of foren bases. Launch nukes at usa population post while hidding most of their population. Invade with all remaining solders. Wouldn't be pretty but it is possible.

Diesel subs are not as loud as nuclear. A nuke reactors cooling system is huge. And when the Diesel subs are run on battery they're deadly. look how usa's nuke sub continually got killed in the war games by the swedes little attack sub

It's wild man. The US became independent then decided it wanted to take away the independence of other countries lol. They had no problem invading countries for centuries, but do everything they can to make sure it doesn't happen to them

I don't like how much war is being perpetrated and being fantasized about these past four years. It makes me wonder if everyone's forgotten the past 20 years of trying to stop wars. I have to leave a dislike for this one. Its so unhealthy.
