When people talk about “regional war,” they imagine tanks rolling across borders, jets screaming overhead, and armies clashing at scale.

There’s just one problem.

Most countries… can’t actually do that.

In this video, I break down the four types of armies—expeditionary, defensive, internal security, and palace guard—and explain why only a handful of nations on Earth can actually project power beyond their borders.

We’re going to talk logistics, cost, and the uncomfortable reality that war isn’t just about weapons… it’s about getting those weapons—and the people using them—halfway across the world and keeping them there.

Because unless you can do that… You don’t really have an army.

You have a uniform and a flag.
