Canadians React to USA vs Canada *Army Comparison* Who Would Win?

[Music] hey guys i'm adam i'm ryan and this is two neighbors ryan what do we got going on today all right guys so fun one today this is canada versus the united states who would win army military competition so i think i already know the answer to this one off the top of my head i'm like ah you know i'm pretty sure like you know based on military might the united states would take it but you know what it's so funny i have a lot of american friends tons of american friends and the one thing that always seems to come up in conversation is um oh you guys are so lucky like to have us protecting you and your brother but we do have a pretty good military never lost the war we have just thrown out there we have great negotiating skills that's what it is like you know you guys have all the you know muscle but we we like to talk and work it out so that's what canada brings to the table and i think that's good and if canada and the us were to go head to head we might be able to talk our way out of it yeah or or at least hope that you know you wouldn't be able to find us on the map no offense um yeah honestly though guys we we love the states and uh it is pretty cool like honestly guys being in canada we don't invest a whole lot of military we have a good military but we don't invest a ton into it but it is nice to know you know what it's kind of like going into your first day of high school and you're a little bit nervous but the end of the day you're not really nervous because your brother's 225 pounds and in the last grade of high school there to protect you so that's what we got going for i believe the last time that mr trudeau and mr joe biden met uh we were instructed by the american government that we need to increase our spending by two percent by two whole percent i think two whole percent of what our budget is for military so i think we i think we're on the road to doing that uh you know we bring what we can we'll probably get up over a million bucks a year now canadian dollars so uh yeah guys before we hit this video uh please hit the subscribe button if you have or if you're new to the channel we really do appreciate it and don't forget to

very much at the end of the day we realize your sacrifice is what gives us the freedom that we all have today so thank you very much guys two neighbors appreciate it and uh without further ado yeah now let's all hear about how canada would walk the us right for millions of years the northern half of north america is the canadian together and other present continents were busy breaking off from the super continents of the past trade routes ran through both countries throughout the centuries and still today the us and canada in terms of imports and exports are heavily reliant on each other economic ties the european influence democratic governance to some extent an intermingling of religion and culture and of course english as the dominant language make the two nations part of the same family nonetheless as most canadians and americans will tell you the two countries are also very different in many ways one big difference is how the nations have developed in terms of defense today we thought we'd compare them militarily in this episode of the infographic show the usa versus canada all right don't forget to subscribe and click the bell button so that you can be part of our notification squad the united states of america declared its independence from great britain on july 4th 1776. canada became a self-governing country on july 1 1867 but it wasn't until the canada act of 1982 that the british ceased to have any influence on the canadian constitution these two bordering nations each have a massive landmass with canada being the second biggest nation on earth behind russia canada's 3 855 hundred square mile landmass however miles is not too much larger than fourth-placed usa america's landmass is three million seven hundred five thousand four hundred seven square miles and of course china is the world's third largest nation given the size of these giant nations you may not be surprised to hear that canada us border is the longest border in the world at 5 525 miles long while there were disputes in the past over the demarcation of land in some border areas as borders go the usa canadian divide has seen few conflicts the only time the two countries went head to head was in 1812 when canada as a colony of great britain became embroiled in the latter's spat over usa expansionism since that time the countries have been the best of allies in fact the necessity of safe trading routes and an amiable relationship allowed both countries to prosper after china canada is america's biggest trading partner while for canada the us is its main trading partner the usa has a much bigger gdp than canada though as we all know it's 18 trillion plus gdp is the biggest in the world whereas canada's gdp is set to lie in 10th place on the list at 1.53 trillion dollars the us is regarded as having the world's strongest military and with a 611 billion dollar defense budget about 3.3 of the gdp america outspends the rest of the world by a mile canada a country not often exalted for its military prowess spends around 15.5 billion dollars on defense which is around 1 of the gdp this however will soon change it was reported in june this year that canada will increase military spending to 32.7 billion dollars in the next 10 years canada's defense minister harjit sajan was quoted as saying if we are serious about canada's role in the world then we have to be serious about funding our military now let's take a look at where all the money goes the us has a population of 325 million people 1.3 million of whom are active military personnel and a further 811 000 acting as reserve personnel by comparison the canadian military is minuscule with 95 000 active personnel and another 51 000 working as reserves canada's population is just over 35 million size does matter and while the canadian army is low in numbers its special forces are said to be some of the most skilled soldiers in the world in terms of land equipment the us weapons cache of arms is almost unparalleled the country has around 5 84 tanks 41 000 armored fighting vehicles 1 934 self-propelled guns 1 299 towed artillery and 1 331 multiple launch rocket systems canada has 80 tanks 3 000 four afvs zero spgs 161 towed artillery and zero mlrs arsenal however that's it canada's main battle tanks include a fleet of german made leopard 2 a4s and leopard 2 a6s some of the most advanced tanks ever created canada has also just been held as a great innovator of military equipment for developing what's been called a terminator-like weapon according to military analysts the canadian defense research and development organization has created the weapon of the future in its soldier integrated precision effect system super gun or smart gun nonetheless intelligent rifles might not be enough to hold back america's thousands of highly rated m1 abrams battle tanks a proven machine that has clocked a vast number of work hours the usa is also spending big on developing its own super tank the m182 sep v3 the royal canadian air force is also somewhat outmatched in the skies when compared with the united states southwest south has a total of 414 military aircraft 60 of which are fighters slash interceptors and 64 that are fixed wing attack aircraft the country has no attack helicopters its cream of the crop is its 103 strong fleet of american-made multi-role fighter the mcdonnell douglas cf-18 hornet the canadian government has also mulled over the purchase of the american f-35 stealth fighter although that will come at some cost perhaps with a 70 increase in defense spending canada may have the aircraft in its sights the usa outcomes any other air force and is pretty much spoiled for choice in terms of inventory the us has around 13 444 aircraft many of which are touted as the world's best this includes legions of f-22a raptors f-16 fighting falcons f-15e strike eagles and the notoriously expensive f-35a lightning 2. the u.s also has a large fleet of the mcdonnell douglas cf-18 hornets some of which have been converted to fa-18e super hornets canada's naval strength is rather small in comparison to the giant of the us navy although the royal canadian navy has fought many battles over the years and is currently in the process of enlarging its fleet the rcn consists of zero aircraft carriers 12 frigates 12 coastal defense vessels 4 patrol submarines and 8 unarmed patrol training vessels the us has 11 aircraft carriers 22 cruisers 67 destroyers eight frigates 75 submarines zero corvettes nine amphibious assault ships 11 mine warfare ships and 55 patrol ships it's also developing its multi-billion dollar behemoth the gerald r ford class super carrier as for nuclear capabilities canada does not have its own nuclear weapons although it contributes to america's military programs canada is also protected under nato's nuclear umbrella the us on the other hand along with russia owns almost half of the world's 15 000 nuclear weapons 800 of these weapons are currently deployed super guns and weapons of mass destruction aside these two countries share a long-lasting partnership when it comes to their defense strategies the u.s and canada are the only two countries outside of european nations that belong to nato together the two friendly neighbors have formed an alliance that combines one huge military force this is recognized in official pacts such as the bi-national organization the north american aerospace defense command the combined defense plan and even the sharing of military resources in times of natural disasters under the canada u.s civil assistance plan besides the skirmish in 1812 the two countries have enjoyed arguably the most peaceful border relationship on the planet canada and the us are the closest of allies culturally intertwined and from an economic standpoint reliant on their buoyant trading relations we hope you've enjoyed this tale of two brotherly nations what up america cool i was a little bit off with my percentages there yeah didn't know that i could've sworn it was two percent but uh obviously not but uh yeah we are minuscule compared to the us but you know what like i said when you when you got the big brother down there with uh was like 7 000 nukes it's like yeah that's scary that's like a scary figure thinking that there's just like nuclear warheads just sitting there like you know could go off any time like you know if like artificial intelligence like was able to like just suddenly like we're watching and killing human rights terminator it is so you know um shit's real man it's gonna happen we have like we have a lot of pride obviously in our military as small as it may be um and i will say like you know there there's a there is a point of pride where like any time there's that conversation america in the u.s canadians are always first to bring up the war of 1812 the only the only time we faced off against the us and canada did win that war however very interesting fact a lot of people know this it's an interesting read if you guys want to check it out the reason the candidate was able to win that war believe it or not was the us had to put together funding to fight that war so they didn't have a lot they didn't have the military budget they had today and they managed to get funding from a private landowner one of the biggest private landowners in canada and the us and he just happened to own almost all of the land from kingston all the way to quebec so he said i will give you this money to fight but you cannot you cannot attack on any of my land which basically made them attacking canada way more difficult meaning they had to attack through difficult terrain through the niagara escarpment into the toronto area and because of that canada basically knew well we're not going to get flanked because they're not going to come in over there we know they can't do it this guy basically said you cannot fight on my land yeah so they were forced to do that so canada was able to focus all their defenses in that one area and we held off the attack and that's why we're here drinking tim hortons and we say a lot instead of being all-american here but uh yeah see you guys this is why like i mean we're not just a reaction channel we're a history channel at the same time ryan's full of knowledge when it comes to like you know war history so you come to the right spot for a little of everything didn't we burn the white house down we did sorry about that boys sorry guys yeah yeah well guys we really like this video if you have a suggestion of
