This is Why Everyone Is Afraid of the US

On the list of countries that spend the most money  on defense, the United States is at the top, to no surprise. But it’s when you combine the next 9  countries’ budgets together, that the staggering power of the United States truly starts to come into view. Even if you add up all of the defense spending of the other nine countries, it still comes to less than that of the United States by itself.

With an annual budget of more than 900 billion  dollars, 2 million plus service members, and over 700 bases spread across the  world, the United States is one bear that definitely shouldn’t be poked. Pouring such a huge amount of money into defense is one of the reasons that the US is  the sole superpower in the world today, currently unmatched and unchallenged in its supremacy,  especially when it comes to military might. But what if another country, like Russia or  China or even a consolidation of those other top nine somehow, for some reason,  decided to try and take on the USA?

Well here’s a few reasons why that would  be the last mistake they’ll ever make. Reason No. 1.

You know the  US has a large ground force, but it’s not just big, it’s mindblowingly huge. By the numbers, the military includes just over 2 million military personnel, and just under 800,000  civilians, making the 2. 86 million member military slightly larger than the entire population  of Chicago.

Compare that to the UK military, which has just under 152,400 total personnel. But it’s not just the size of the military, it’s the speed with which they can be  moved. The Netherlands Marine Corps boasts an exceptional deployment time, where  they are able to get troops anywhere in the world within 48 hours.

But the joint Army and  Air Force run US Immediate Response Force? They can have troops deployed anywhere  in the world within just 18 hours. Additionally, these US ground forces are  equipped with the best technology available.

Let’s start with the now-iconic  M1 Abrams Main Battle Tank. In service since the 1980s, the M1 Abrams has  undergone several upgrades to ensure it remains one of the most formidable tanks in the world. And  that’s precisely what this tank is.

The current fleet numbers around 2,500, with thousands more in  storage. In contrast, China has only manufactured around 1,200 of their top tank, the Type 99, over  the last several decades. There isn’t a single list of the best tanks in the world that doesn’t  mention this armored marvel, and one of the latest iterations of this tank, the SepV3 variant,  undoubtedly warrants a place right at the top.

This tank is powered by a Honeywell AGT1500 gas  turbine engine, which offers 1,500 horsepower, and boasts an M256 120mm smoothbore cannon,  which allows it to fire advanced rounds with unparalleled accuracy. The SepV3 also features a modular design that allows for easy upgrades and modifications,  ensuring that it remains at the cutting edge of technology for years to come. But perhaps most importantly, the M1 Abrams isn’t all talk.

This impressive tank  has a proven record of success on the battlefield, unlike the aforementioned Chinese Type 99 tank. Just look at the Gulf Wars, primarily taking place in Iraq and Kuwait. The Persian Gulf War was when  the M1 Abrams was first tested in combat.

And yet, not a single tank was taken out by enemy  forces. Talk about a grand entrance! The M1 Abrams was later deployed in  Afghanistan during the War in Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia during the Yemeni Civil War, and  Ukraine during the Russian invasion.

It has also been modified and exported to Australia,  Egypt, Iraq, Kuwait, Poland, and Saudi Arabia, solidifying its reputation as one of the most  reliable and effective tanks in the world. The M-109 Paladin is another powerful vehicle that  allows the US ground forces to be so dominant. Now, this vehicle might look  like a tank at first glance, but it’s actually a self-propelled howitzer  designed for long-range artillery support.

The “self-propelled” part comes from a four-man  crew inside the vehicle that chooses the targets and fires the howitzer without the need  for external equipment. This means that the M-109 Paladin can quickly respond to  changing battlefield conditions and provide rapid and accurate fire support to ground troops. Due to how quickly its semi-automatic system fires away – and the sheer mobility of the vehicle –  once an assault begins, it can hardly be stopped.

The M109 had its combat debut in Vietnam. Since  then, it has been used by several armies in multiple high-stakes conflicts, such as: The Yom Kippur War in the Sinai Peninsula and the Golan Heights The Persian Gulf War in Iraq, Kuwait, and areas on Saudi Arabia’s borders and the Iraq War in. .

. Iraq. In each of these conflicts, the US was able to  better understand and improve on the design of the vehicle.

Experience that other countries, such as  the Chinese, don’t have with their own vehicles. If the US ground force’s vehicles are  impressive, just wait until you see the kind of firepower the U. S.

ground troops wield  directly. After all, they’re the ones who often have to face the enemy up close and personal. One mainstay is the M240 machine gun.

This formidable belt-fed, gas-operated medium machine  gun can be mounted on aircraft and vessels as well, capable of firing up to 950 rounds per  minute. Compare that with the Russian PKM, which is able to only fire up to 800 rounds per minute.  Therefore it’s easy to see how It can be effective against both personnel and light vehicles, making  it a versatile choice for taking out any enemy.

Its earliest uses were during the U. S. invasion  of Grenada – aka Operation Urgent Fury – and the invasion of Panama, or Operation Just Cause.

If you’re looking for something similar in firepower, but more capable of being carried  around by an individual soldier, look no further than the M249 Squad Automatic Weapon (SAW). Though initially designed in Belgium, the U. S.

ended up manufacturing its own version of  this powerful light machine gun. With this weapon, you get quite a range – up to 11,800  feet. You also get a high rate of fire, typically around 800 rounds per minute.

Given  how reliable this weapon is, it shouldn’t be surprising it has been used all over the  world, including Bosnia, Somalia, and Ukraine. And while machine guns often get  the spotlight, this explosive asset is an indispensable part of any soldiers  kit- the M67 fragmentation hand grenade. The M67 is undoubtedly one of the deadliest tools  wielded by the U.

S. ground forces. This grenade has one goal – to inflict maximum damage.

The M67  has a lethal radius of about 16 feet but can cause casualties at up to 50 feet away while dispersing  fragments as far as 750 feet. So, when the pin is pulled and the safety lever released,  you better find cover fast! The reliability of this grenade is proven by its long time in  the service.

It was first introduced in 1960’s! Though the sheer amount of devastation its  ground forces can cause is reason enough to avoid any conflict with the U. S.

, we’re just  getting started. This is merely the first reason why you shouldn’t mess with the U. S.

,  and the next nine are even more staggering. Reason No. 2 takes us to the skies where  the strongest air force in the world awaits.

The strongest in numbers,  capability, and technology. . Of course, the numbers are the most impressive  part initially, as they give a quick insight into just how dominant the U.

S. is in the skies. If you look at the annual GlobalFirepower (GFP) ranking, which takes a by-the-numbers  approach to ranking militaries around the world, you’ll see nothing but number ones  across all air force categories: No.

1 in total fleet aircraft strength with over  13,000 aircraft, including over 1,800 jets, about 900 attack-type aircraft, over 600 tanker aerial  aircrafts, and a mind boggling 5,700 helicopters. Not only that, the 13,000 aircraft is more than  3 times bigger than the second place country, Russia, with only about 4,200 aircraft. And much like the ground forces, the technological quality of the U.

S.  Air Force is truly something to behold. One example can be seen in the  US’s fleet of stealth aircraft, such as the Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor.

The first F-22 Raptor took flight on September 7, 1997, in Marietta, Georgia, following six years  of development. This kind of aircraft is something other countries, such as Russia, could only dream  of. Russia’s response to the F-22 was their Su-57, first seen 21 years later in 2018, but the  aircraft has seen limited time in combat, including the recent war in Ukraine.

It’s currently doubted  how comparable the aircraft really is to the F-22. Which, by contrast, this technological marvel  is renowned for its advanced stealth technology, supercruise capability, unparalleled  maneuverability, and integrated avionics, earning it the title of the most dominant air  fighter in the world. The F-22 is designed not to just defeat current threats but to also  counter emerging threats well into the future.

In other words, you don’t want to mess  with this fighter jet now or ever. The same can be said for the next jewel  in the U. S.

Air Force’s shiny crown. The Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II. This fighter jet is the most lethal, survivable, and connected fighter jet in the  world—all characteristics that should make you want to avoid crossing paths with it at all costs.

And this goes for both the air and the ground since the F-35 is designed to excel in both  air-to-air and air-to-ground combat. With its advanced stealth capabilities, integrated  sensors, and unparalleled situational awareness, this aircraft is nothing short of a game changer for the U. S.

– not to mention all the adversaries who dare to challenge it. So far, the F-35 has gotten the job done for multiple U. S.

military branches  on several heated battlefields. It was used by the Marine Corps  against Taliban targets in Afghanistan. By the U.

S. Air Force against Islamic  State targets in northern Iraq. By the U.

S. Navy in the Indo-Pacific. Basically, it’s been used everywhere, and has proven its effectiveness, time and again.

Another aircraft that sends the same message is the B-2 Spirit. This heavy strategic bomber, also known as the Stealth Bomber, features  low-observable stealth technology that allows it to penetrate even the densest, most sophisticated  anti-aircraft defenses. Even when spotted, this bomber is exceptionally difficult to  track, let alone strike down.

This allows it to seamlessly carry out its mission, threatening the  enemy’s most valued and heavily defended targets. The B-2’s combat debut took place back in 1999  in Serbia, formerly Yugoslavia, where it was responsible for destroying as many as 33% of all  targets within the first eight weeks of Operation Allied Force. Afterward, this bomber was employed  in Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan, Operation Iraqi Freedom, and Operation Odyssey  Dawn in Libya.

Incredibly, this aircraft at times made 30 hour flights from Missouri to  its target and back, without even a scratch. As these operations have proven, the B-2 bomber  can go just about anywhere, destroy its enemies, and disappear before they can even react. But despite what its name suggests, bombing isn’t all the Stealth Bomber is capable of.

The U. S. often sends in this aircraft to collect the necessary data, which the B-2 does at  an incredible rate.

And as we all know, knowledge is power, which makes this aircraft a menace  to all U. S. adversaries, no matter how you look at it.

With the U. S. ground and air forces as the first  two reasons for steering clear of the U.

S. , you can probably guess what reason No. 3 is, and it’s  just as, if not more daunting than the other two.

That’s right – the sheer size  and might of the U. S. Navy.

The next piece of the puzzle makes one thing  abundantly clear – go against the U. S. , and you won’t be safe anywhere, including the sea.

Going off of numbers alone, you can get a great – and menacing – picture of  just how powerful the U. S. Navy is.

It has over 470 total naval vessels. 11 active aircraft carriers, which is nearly 4 times more than second place China, with 3. Over 70 destroyers, compared to #2 again, China, with 49.

And over 60 submarines. As well as an impressive assortment  of amphibious ships, cruisers, and other support vessels that make up  the backbone of its fleet and allow the U. S.

Navy to reach every corner of the globe. Let's learn a bit more by taking a closer look at the aircraft carriers. As far as aircraft carriers go, no country can come even close to the U.

S. So much so that the next second-ranked navy, China,  only has three of these supercarriers. But again, it’s not just about the numbers.

It’s about the sheer capability and power these aircraft carriers bring to the table. Each one is a floating city capable of carrying and launching dozens of aircraft,  including fighter jets, reconnaissance planes, and helicopters. These carriers serve as a  mobile airbase, allowing the U.

S. Navy to project air power anywhere in the world. Here are just some locations where the Nimitz-class aircraft carriers  have been deployed so far: The Gulf of Sidra, near Libya, during  the Freedom of Navigation exercise The South Korean coast to provide  security for the Olympic Games in Seoul Southern Iraq during Operation Southern Watch The Philippines during the Operation Fiery Vigil Somalia during Operation Restore Hope The Persian Gulf during Operation Vigilant Sentinel Bosnia and Herzegovina during Operation Decisive Endeavor The Ionian Sea during Operation Allied Force Indonesia during Operation Unified Assistance and off the coast of Haiti during Operation Unified Response.

When used in a combat scenario, these aircraft carriers are always deployed in  so-called carrier strike groups. These battle groups usually consist of: One aircraft carrier At least one cruiser One destroyer squadron with at least two destroyers or frigates One carrier air wing of up to 70 aircraft 7,500 personnel in total Carrier strike groups are virtually impenetrable, so the image of one of  these groups sailing forward toward the target is enough to instill fear in any potential adversary. The U.

S. Navy maintains nine carrier strike groups in total, eight of which are based in the  U. S.

, specifically California, Virginia, and Washington state. The U. S.

-based groups include: Carrier Strike Groups One, Three, and Nine based at the Naval Base San Diego in California Carrier Strike Groups Two, Eight, Ten, and Twelve, based at the Naval Station Norfolk in Virginia Carrier Strike Group Eleven, based at the Naval Station Everett in Washington The only non-U. S. -based Carrier Strike Group is Five, which is based at the  Fleet Activities Yokosuka base in Japan.

Carrier Strike Group Twelve is led by USS Gerald  R. Ford, the latest addition to the U. S.

Navy’s mighty aircraft carrier fleet. As of 2024,  this vessel is the world’s largest aircraft carrier and the largest warship ever constructed.  This mammoth of vessel cost almost $13 billion to build and nearly $5 billion to research and  develop, also making it the most expensive warship ever built.

It’s estimated that the largest  Chinese carrier cost around $7 billion to make. But what did all these billions  of dollars bring to the U. S.

Navy? Simply the most technologically advanced warship  ever built, featuring cutting-edge innovations that set a new standard for naval engineering.  This includes the Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System (EMALS), which provides a more efficient,  smooth, and reliable means of launching aircraft, Advanced Arresting Gear (AAG), a state-of-the-art  system designed to safely recover a wider variety of aircraft with reduced stress on airframes, and  significant automation, reducing the crew size required for operation and maintenance.

Finally, when discussing seagoing U. S. technological marvels that prove that bigger  often is better, we can't neglect the fleet of Ohio-class nuclear-powered submarines, aka the  largest submarines ever built for the U.

S. Navy. These submarines singlehandedly make the U.

S.  a deadly threat to virtually any enemy at sea. How so?

Well, for starters, they’re incredibly stealthy. Basically, by the  time the enemies spot them, it’s already too late. Ohio-class submarines are also heavily armed,  regardless of the model we’re discussing.

We’re talking up to 20 Trident II missiles on the  ballistic missile submarines and up to 154 Tomahawk cruise missiles on the guided-missile  submarines. The comparable Russian Borei-class submarines can only carry about 16.  These armaments provide the U.

S. Navy with both a strategic nuclear deterrent and  a formidable conventional strike capability. One wrong move and these submarines can make it  rain, and we aren’t even talking about the big, truly terrifying missiles… not yet anyway.

All the submarines operated by the U. S. Pacific Fleet are based at the Naval Base Kitsap  in Washington, while the ones operated by the U.

S. Fleet Forces Command are stationed at  the Naval Submarine Base Kings Bay in Georgia. But let’s go back to the  missiles, because missiles are reason No.

4 you shouldn’t mess with the U. S. !

The U. S. boasts a massive stockpile of missiles, with intercontinental ballistic  missiles the most devastating.

Intercontinental ballistic missiles,  or ICBMs for short, are any ballistic missiles with a range greater than 3,400 miles.  However, the missiles the U. S.

wields have a far greater range than the bare minimum.  That’s up to 8,700 miles, to be precise. That’s how far the Minuteman III  ICBM can travel.

Do the math, and you’ll see that this range means the U. S.  can strike virtually any target on the planet.

Don’t believe us? Here are the average distances  between the U. S.

and other places in the world: 4,547 miles to Brazil 4,763 miles to France 5,461 miles to Bosnia and Herzegovina 5,522 miles to Russia 6,427 miles to North Korea 6,820 miles to Egypt 7,237 miles to China 7,244 miles to Iran 7,367 miles to the Central African Republic 8,436 miles to India The U. S. has about 400 of these capable  missiles deployed in missile silos around Malmstrom Air Force Base in Montana,  Minot Air Force Base in North Dakota, and Francis E.

Warren Air Force Base in  Wyoming. The Minuteman missiles primarily serve as a nuclear deterrent, the land leg  of the so-called Nuclear Triad, whose goal is to ensure a credible and formidable response  capability in the event of a nuclear attack. Speaking of a nuclear attack, the whole of the  U.

S. ’s nuclear capabilities are another reason one would be foolish to go against this superpower. As of 2024, the U.

S. has just over 5,000 nuclear weapons in its arsenal, with the previously  mentioned ICMBs only a fraction of this fear-inducing arsenal. While Russia boasts a  similar amount, the next closest country is China, which currently holds about 350 nukes.

But  it's when you look closer at what types of nukes they are and how they’re deployed,  where things really start to get interesting. A significant part of this arsenal is air-based  nuclear weapons, part of the U. S.

Air Force’s heavy bomber group, which are deployed via 50  or so B-52 Stratofortresses and 20 B-2 Spirits. A significant number of these  bombs are deployed in Europe at six airbases in five NATO ally countries: The Kleine-Brogel Air Base in Belgium The Büchel Air Base in Germany The Aviano and Ghedi Air Bases in Italy The Volkel Air Base in The Netherlands The Incirlik Air Base in Turkey This deployment allows the U. S.

to provide a rapid  response to any region, which makes the notion of even making a threat a near-suicide mission.  And given that America has over 700 bases around the world, compared with China, who currently  only has 1 permanent, fully operational base, the US is uniquely positioned to have weapons  on standby in every corner of the globe. Though nuclear bombs make for a compelling  reason No.

5 to not poke the bear, it’s currently unlikely they’ll be used any time  soon. Which is why the explosively dangerous non-nuclear bombs must be more closely examined. Which is why it’s critical you understand why these bombs make up reason  No.

6 not to mess with the U. S. Remember how we said no enemy of the U.

S. is safe  on the ground, in the air, and at sea? Well, as it turns out, they aren’t even safe underground!

Just take the Massive Ordnance Penetrator, or MOP, as an example. This giant 30,000-pound  precision-guided “bunker buster” bomb is used by the U. S.

Air Force to destroy deeply buried  targets, such as underground bunkers and tunnels. Although, the Massive Ordnance Penetrator was  developed with one target in mind – weapons of mass destruction. No matter how well-protected  these weapons are, the Massive Ordnance Penetrator should be able to take them out.

This particular weapon is often top-of-mind when debating a potential attack on deeply  buried nuclear facilities in North Korea and Iran. Some Iran underground nuclear facilities  are estimated to be around 200 feet underground, which is a depth the MOP can strike. That’s also  why the U.

S. is amping up the production of these bombs, with an ammunition plant in Oklahoma  producing three times more of them monthly. Of course, we can’t talk about the most  powerful non-nuclear bombs in the U.

S. ’s arsenal without mentioning the weapon  aptly nicknamed “Mother of All Bombs. ” But this bomb is far from nurturing.

Here are a  few specs to make its destructive power clearer. The GBU-43/B Massive Ordnance Air  Blast bomb, or MOAB for short, is a 21,600-pound bomb designed to target large  and entrenched military structures or to clear extensive minefields. It has a blast radius of up  to one mile and a blast yield of 11 tons of TNT.

Though this bomb can’t penetrate the ground, it  can destroy structures like caves and canyons, which made it highly efficient in wars in  Afghanistan and Iraq. But if you think these manned bomb drops are wild, wait until you hear  about what the US can do with unmanned vehicles. Reason number 7 to avoid getting  on the U.

S. ’s bad side – drones, another weapon that has proven highly efficient  and convenient across multiple combat scenarios. In the beginning, drones – also  known as unmanned aerial vehicles, or UAVs if you want to get technical – were used  almost exclusively for surveillance.

However, after the September 11 attacks, their role  expanded dramatically to include targeted strikes against enemy combatants. This made them  a crucial part of the U. S.

’s offensive in the Global War on Terrorism in Afghanistan,  Iraq, and the rest of the Middle East. As of 2024, the U. S.

operates one of the world’s  largest drone fleets primarily consisting of Intelligence-Surveillance-Reconnaissance (ISR)  and direct-attack models. All of the country’s major services have invested in drone technology,  with the total number of units surpassing 16,000. We won’t look into all of the models represented  within this impressive figure.

For this video, three drone designs are of interest to us. No. 1 – the Lockheed Martin RQ-170 Sentinel.

Twenty to 30 of these impressive units have been  built for the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), but most of their specs remain confidential. What  is known – or speculated – is that these drones are primarily used for ISTAR and SIGINT missions. ISTAR stands for intelligence, surveillance, target acquisition, and reconnaissance, while  SIGINT is a shorthand for Signals Intelligence, an activity that involves collecting  information from signals, such as radio or radar, for intelligence purposes. 

This high-speed, jet-powered stealth vehicle was first deployed in Afghanistan  in 2007, followed by South Korea in 2009. In the attack-drones department, the  MQ-9 Reaper deserves a special mention. This UAV has an incredible range of approximately  1,000 nautical miles and an operational altitude of 25,000 feet, which allows it to conduct  long-term loitering operations.

The MQ-9 can be armed with a variety of weaponry, including  laser-guided bombs and Hellfire missiles. Even when fully armed, this drone can fly for  some 23 hours, gathering intelligence and carrying out precision strikes if needed. Many experts believe that drones are the future of all warfare, which is why the U.

S.  is heavily investing in new drone technology. One of its latest developments is  the Boeing MQ-25 Stingray drone, which is likely to become operational in 2026.

The MQ-25 is a revolutionary product, the first unmanned aircraft to refuel another aircraft. For  now, the unit is still being tested and developed at the Naval Air Station Point Mugu at Naval  Base Ventura County. But if all goes to plan, this innovative drone will change the  game, allowing fighter jets, bombers, and other aircraft to stay in the air longer  without the need to land for refueling.

While there’s no denying that unmanned  systems have revolutionized modern warfare, no machine can match the flexibility and  creative problem solving of our next reason. The 8th reason to avoid messing  with the U. S.

– its soldiers. The U. S.

might not be the nation with the  most available manpower, active-duty soldiers, or reservists. However, its forces are arguably  the best-trained and most disciplined in the world. They undergo rigorous training to develop  not just their physical capabilities but also their mental resilience and decision-making  skills.

This especially applies to the country’s special forces, which are among the  most elite and specialized units in the world. If we had to single out only  one of these special forces, it would undoubtedly be the U. S.

Navy SEALs. Making up about 1% of all active duty members of the Navy, U. S.

Navy SEALs are widely  considered the most elite and dangerous special operations force in the world,  known for their exceptional combat skills, physical fitness, and mental toughness. They are  trained to operate in any environment – sea, air, and land – which is where their name derives.  And are often called upon to undertake the most challenging and sensitive missions.

SEAL training, known as Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL, or BUD/S training, is one of the  most demanding military training programs in the world. It pushes candidates to their limits  both physically and mentally, with about 75% of candidates failing to complete the training. Of  course, such a high attrition rate also guarantees that only the best of the best make it through.

Though the entirety of this program is known for its demanding and intense nature, it doesn’t  get more grueling than the so-called Hell Week. During this five-and-a-half-day stretch  of continuous training, SEALs-to-be face intense physical and mental challenges,  including cold water exposure and physical labor, designed to push them to their limits. But once they get through the Hell Week – and the entirety of the SEAL training  – these soldiers become experienced warriors that few can match.

Warriors you  wouldn’t want to face in any scenario. In fact, experience is precisely what sets the  U. S.

military apart from most other countries contending for the title of a superpower. The U. S. 

military is not just powerful on paper. It has also been battle-tested in numerous conflicts and  operations around the world, honing its military capabilities and proving its effectiveness time  and time again. You’ll soon see how America’s experience, absolutely changes the game.

This leads us to reason No. 9 why you should stay off of the U. S.

’s radar. The country’s military knows precisely how to deal with any incoming threat. The U.

S. has experience in some of the world’s more intense conflicts. Cold wars.

Challenging insurgencies. Impossible odds. From World War II to the Korean War, the Vietnam  War to the Gulf War, and more recently, the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the U.

S. military has  demonstrated its ability to adapt, innovate, and prevail in diverse and complex conflicts. Proof of the US looking to foster this mentality can be seen in the establishment  of advanced training centers, such as the Joint Readiness Training Center  (JRTC) and the National Training Center (NTC).

This wealth of experience has not only shaped the  U. S. military’s tactics, strategies, and doctrine but has also cultivated a deep reservoir of  knowledge and expertise among its personnel.

In 2022, the US Census Bureau stated there were  around 16. 2 million veterans, most of whom can lend valuable insights to the nation’s defense. The U.

S. military’s veterans and active-duty members carry this experience with them, ensuring  that the lessons learned from past conflicts are applied to future challenges. So, when it comes to  dealing with threats, both known and unforeseen, the U.

S. military’s experience is a formidable  advantage that should never be underestimated. Do you know what else shouldn’t be underestimated?

All the weaponry, techniques, and tactics the U. S. has never made public.

Let’s face it – what we do know about these capabilities is a deterrent enough  for anyone who doesn’t have a death wish. Now imagine the unknown, the capabilities that  have been developed and kept under wraps. The mere thought should be enough to dissuade even  the most daring of adversaries.

In 2025 alone, the budget calls for $143. 2 billion in research,  development, test, and evaluation. So that’s why these classified weapons the U.

S. military could  break out at any moment represent our tenth and final reason not to mess with the U. S.

The classic and irreplaceable fear of the unknown. So, what do you say? Are you shocked by the  abilities and capabilities the U.

S. has? And more importantly, do you think they are enough  to dissuade the U.

S. enemies from making the fatal mistake of messing with this superpower?  If so, please share which of the ten reasons you found the most compelling in the comments section  below.

And, of course, feel free to add your reasons why messing with the U. S. is a big no-no.
