Comments by "Winston Smith" (@kryts27) on "American Reacts to Australia VS United States (USA) Military Comparison" video.

  1. North Korea? A country with a GDP less than the Beverly Hills district in Los Angeles? How does North Korea (a country that starves a subtantial number of it's own people) get to have a military rated 2nd in the world? That doesn't make sense.

  2. The US has the world's biggest economy. China's economy has shrank possibly between 10-20% since 2019 over the Covid crises and the unfolding real estate debt bubble crises (starting with the Evergrande Group), and it's Energy crises is not helping either. These all all signs of an economy in dire straits (in China). Of course this video is a "what if", not reflecting political, economic or demographic reality here. The Australian population stats needs upgrading. Despite an virtual immigration shutdown because of Covid, Australia's population is nearly 26 million in 2021 (we've had a census this year). With 11 supercarrier warships in the US navy, i think seriously Australia would be a bad position in a hypothetical war between the 2 countries, although these countries have been fighting allies in at least 7 wars, starting from World War 1. In November 1842, the "Battle of Brisbane" occurred mainly between American MPs (military police) and Australian diggers and civilians in Brisbane where 1 Australian soldier was killed and hundreds of people were badly injured on both sides. Read it.

  3. Sorry, November 1942 for Battle of Brisbane, not 1842. In 1842, Brisbane (formally know as Morton Bay Colony at that time) consisted of a convict station, a barracks for the soldiers, a pub (naturally) and a row of bark huts along the beach at Redcliffe.
