* SoProudOfYou: Happens several times, both [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yHDclEHgUsQ between]] ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ozj13c1wHus planes]]) and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ftiioAvH3ug between countries]].

* TheUnintelligible: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hEqgyUpuSQE Louisiana ]]. Neither the USA nor any of the states can understand him. France has to translate him for America (and for the audience).

Habitual Line Crosser is a WebOriginal Youtube channel [[https://www.youtube.com/@habitual_linecrosser]] that [[{{RippedFromTheHeadlines}} parodies the news and current events]] by portraying various countries and military equipment talking and arguing with each other. With basic animation (mostly the creator superimposing his own eyes and lips on the relevant images), the channel relies on unexpectedly deep research, off-the-wall RapidFireComedy, and [[SelfDeprecation self-admittedly poor accents]] to characterize vehicles and nations alike and offer a geopolitical view that is both informative and hilarious.

* FrankenVehicle: The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ecaYxjWMwiI FrankenSAMs]] America built from various surface-to-air missile systems that he has been hoarding for the last hundred years.

* SoProudOfYou: Happens several times, both [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yHDclEHgUsQ between planes]] ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ozj13c1wHus twice]]) and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ftiioAvH3ug between countries]].

** Also Poland, who is [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wUJ7CnU6hA8 building up his military]] in anticipation of a conflict with Russia. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=soauoOMVCio]]

* DecemberDecemberRomance: The B-52 when he meets an AN-225 [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zq_EXWZaGQ8]].

* BloodKnight: Just about ''every'' piece of military equipment the USA operates counts, especially the airplanes. At best, they're professional but proud of what they do. At worst, they border on murderous psychosis barely reined in by Uncle Sam's leash. Also most countries, especially [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tpq62Z38mKk Poland]].

* TheDreaded: Canada. Committed so many war crimes, half of the Geneva Conventions are lists of things he did in previous wars. Few countries want to find out what new atrocities he might add to the list if they have to fight him.
--> '''Canada:''' Oh yeah there bud. ''Geneva suggestions.''

* MakeTheBearAngryAgain: Since this takes place during the Russian invasion of Ukraine [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_invasion_of_Ukraine]], Russia trades barbs with Ukraine and the NATO countries.

* WorldWarIII: A potential Russia-USA war is depicted here: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=33JthRxvXvk]]

--->'''England:'''Bloody hell! Poland, what are you preparing for!?

* SoProudOfYou: Happens several times, for instance [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yHDclEHgUsQ here]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ftiioAvH3ug here]]

-->'''England:''' Poland, what are you preparing for!?
-->'''Poland:''' To ''win.''

* CrazyPrepared: USA. Also Poland, who is building up his military in anticipation of a conflict with Russia.

* NationalStereotypes: Just about every country featured gets a stereotypical accent and mannerism.

* TheDreaded: Canada. Committed so may war crimes, half of the Geneva Conventions are lists of things Canada did in previous wars. Few countries want to find out what new atrocities Canada might add to the list if they end up joining another war.

* StraightManAndWiseGuy: USA and his father England frequently have this dynamic, with England being the straight man and America being the wiseguy.

* OldSoldier: The B-52 is treated this way. It has been around for a ''while'', and continues being used in various operations, always getting more upgrades to stay in the race and always ready for another bombing run. Maybe a little ''too'' ready in fact.
-->'''B-52:''' I started a war in Afghanistan, I started Desert Storm, and I told you sons'a bitches: By God, I'll start the next one.

-->'''B-52:''' [[TranquilFury Well, I guess that just about settles it]]. They fucked with the kid. Now I'm about to make that entire country uninhabitable ''for the next 3000 years''.

** The B-1 Lancer is even ''worse'', an outright [[PracticallyJoker pastiche]] of Creator/HeathLedger's Joker from ''Film/TheBlackKnight''.
