This video explores a hypothetical conventional arms war between the whole of EU and the US. Who could do more damage to the other side? And how would that war go? Which territories could be lost and how many troops might perish? All is touched upon and analyzed. In this first part the setup and the war in the Atlantic is the main focus.

UK to Switzerland
UK: So you just sit at the site? Feels weird!
Switzerland: well, you get used to it...

[iolucar]

US : How do we get to France ?
Belgium : ... Don't look at me !

[billy-the-butcher]

Allies: poking Germany with a stick **come on, do your thing**

In the beginning

Eu: This will be hard
Sweden: i got this, *sends one submarine”

[ViolentaShadow]

Final result? Strategic Russian Victory.

I like the war room style black/green map in the beginning. It’d be cool if it remained in that style for the whole video!

[vondkorps]

UK: so this is what feels to be neutral
Switzerland: First time

[AlextheKaijuFan]

This is essentially a modern battle between the United States and Fortress Europe.

[rhodium]

A war US vs EU?....
Russia: Wait I make the popcorn..

[nicholasgignac]

UK: turns out Brexit wasn’t as bad as we thought it was

My prediction for how the 2nd video will end:
-US keeps Greenland and all other atlantic posessions of the EU
-US fails to take Ireland
- US never even attempts to land a ground force on the EU mainland.
-Binkov will declare a minor victory for the US.

Edit: Second part is out now. It seems I was mostly right.

Love the idea of the UK being neutral, inviting the danes and Swiss round for a few pints and drunkenly lobbing a few missiles at France when they aren't looking, just for old times sake

World War 2 ghosts: "Ah, scheisse... here we go again."

[mdhasmatalimondal]

UK: Hey Putin, pass the popcorn
Putin: Here it is . Want some vodka too ?

You could put 20 million EU troops in Ireland and we’d still be exporting food

I can tell from the thumbnail that you didn't forget Brexit.

[aaronobrien]

I feel like Ireland drew the shit end of this stick.

[Randomstuffs]

This is so inaccurate, there's no way the US would be able to beat Luxembourg

[lumpydark]

They would both lose as once they spent all their navies the Norwegian-British secret pact to conquer the world would be set in motion!
