Comments by "Winston Smith" (@kryts27) on "Could US military conquer UK if it wanted to? (2019)" video.

  1. I am glad this video is hypothetical & while in such a scenario, it is somewhat likely that both the Royal Navy & Royal Air Force would be destroyed by attacking US forces (without naval & air assistance & army reinforcements from other Commonwealth countries like Canada & Australia which was not canvassed in your video), the US army would face very high casualties attacking into UK cities. Even if the US succeeded in destroying or forcing the regular British army forces to capitulate, it would have the same problems it faced in occupying Iraq, with considerably more attrition over the same timescale. The population of the UK is over twice that of Iraq. Seeing that the US forces have already ignominiously exited Iraq, how long do you think they would remain in armed occupation of the UK without quitting the scene after 0.5 million deaths?

  2. The British Army or the land forces of the United Kingdom. The appellation "Royal" (e.g. Royal Navy, Royal Air Force) is not used for any British army unit above battalion size.
