Military operations are notoriously difficult to plan. Even the slightest oversight can lead to disaster, and there are numerous factors to consider. Everything from distances, supply lines, terrain, weather conditions, and civilian populations must be considered. No nation is impossible to invade, but some present significantly greater challenges than others.

    The Iron Chancellor Bismarck himself said it best about America: “The Americans are a very lucky people. They’re bordered to the north and south by weak neighbors and to the east and west by fish.”

    Yes you can invade russia , but you're neither staying nor getting out
  • No invader could ever break through the Baltimore Ravens or Pittsburgh Steelers Defense

    The Admiral of the Japanese Navy (I believe his last name was Yamomoto) said back during WW2 that it would be near impossible to invade America saying: "Theres a rifle behind every blade of grass."

    I honestly love how much the animation and art style has improved over the years. I can only imagine how great a remake of some of your old videos with updated information would be.

    6:41 funny enough, Germany was not so happy when they found out that a bridge they built with Switzerland between them had been packed with explosives

    The thumbnail had me rolling even as someone from the US.

    An invasion would never cross the Appalachian mountains… too many old heads who still know the Old Ways.
  • @dukejordan8147
    I am not sure that the invaders would survive Florida.
