Forget the flag waving. If you want to understand why Ukraine is still standing, follow the money.
In this episode, venture capitalist Perry Boyle pulls back the curtain on the cold, hard mechanics of how modern wars are actually bankrolled.
This isn’t about abstract strategy. It is about the cost per kill, the scale of production, and the brutal reality that the side with the better balance sheet usually wins.
Perry explains how $10,000 drones are bankrupting multi-million dollar tanks and why private capita, not just government aid, is the new frontline. This is the hidden financial machinery of the 21st-century battlefield.
