00:00Powerful enemies spend millions defending against weapons that cost thousands.
00:04And once this equation spreads, the economics of war will never be the same again.
00:10For decades, war was simple.
00:12The richest military usually had the advantage.
00:15More fighter jets, more aircraft carriers, more satellites, more missiles, more money.
00:22But Iran exposed a weakness inside this system.
00:25Because the most expensive army in the world can still be trapped by one question.
00:30How much does it cost to defend yourself?
00:33This video is not about who has the biggest army.
00:36It is about who can afford to keep fighting.
00:39War has always been about money.
00:41Rome needed roads, taxes, soldiers, and grain.
00:44The British Empire needed ships, ports, and colonies.
00:48World War II was won through factories, oil, steel, and logistics.
00:53The Cold War was not only a nuclear standoff, it was an economic contest.
00:59Who could spend longer?
01:00Who could build more?
01:02Who could survive the pressure?
01:04For most of history, expensive power defeated cheap resistance.
01:07But now, that rule is breaking.
01:10Iran did not build its military like America.
01:13It does not rely on global bases or aircraft carriers.
01:16Iran built a pressure system, missiles, drones, underground launch sites, mobile platforms.
01:24The goal is not to look powerful.
