The Staggering Cost of the U.S. Losing Its Allies

Video Description

What happens if America keeps alienating its allies? From the 750 U.S. bases around the world to the massive military-industrial complex at home, this episode dives into how U.S. power projection, global influence, and the defense economy would look if allies in Europe, the Pacific, and beyond start walking away. We break down how America’s hard power, intelligence networks like Five Eyes, and forward military presence all depend on cooperation—and how rising isolationism and aggressive rhetoric from Washington could tear those pillars apart. We’ll explore: The U.S. defense industry’s global reach and how much it relies on exports What happens to U.S. military power without European, Canadian, and Indo-Pacific allies Why alliances like NATO and Five Eyes are built on trust—and what’s at stake when that erodes How restrictions on U.S. weapons use and hidden source code controversies are driving partners toward Europe and Asia The potential loss of over 2 million American jobs if foreign buyers turn elsewhere We also look at how China, USA, NATO and Russia compare in military strength. #uk #sweden #france 00:00 - Introduction - why allies matter 01:27 - Nuclear weapons by country 01:45 - What will the damage be to the U.S. if it loses its allies? 02:43 - NATO without the U.S Strength 03:07 - Japan Military Strength 03:21 - South Korea Military Strength 03:33 - Australia Military Strength 03:45 - New Zealand Military Strength 03:54 - Philippines Military Strength 04:36 - USA Military Power 04:58 - Free World Military Power 05:13 - Russia Military Strength 05:30 - China Military Strength 06:47 - U.S Forward Presence 06:56 - U.S. Bases Abroad - by country 07:49 - Cost of hosting U.S. Bases 09:55 - Five Eyes Alliance 11:25 - Cyber-security & Warfare Capability 12:45 - 2024 US Weapons Exports 13:30 - US Defence Sector Jobs 14:35 - UAE, Spain & Portugal Cancelling F-35 15:05 - Canada cutting F-35 Order 15:15 - European Defence Stocks Soaring 15:32 - The Cost to the U.S of Losing Defence Exports 15:53 - JAS39 Gripen to Ukraine 16:20 - Outro
