I think they have been saying Iran's economy is collapsing for at least a decade. And you don't need an economy to keep firing existing weapons.

Informative perspective. Thx

Guess what! The "economy" is an invention, literally just a word. As long as you've got food, water and shelter, you can do whatever you want.

I remember watching another video on this by Money and Macro, and it explains that an economic collapse won't put an end to the war. As long as Iran can afford to keep the guards fed, they don't have to worry about starving the citizens.

The quality of research and presentation is outstanding. Definitely one of my favorite channels.

They have prepared for 40 years plus they're being supplied by China. They could keep this thing going for billions of years

is there an example in modern history where a country collapsed because of the economy during war? Especially when having a central bank, its own currency and fiat money?

Yet still my single nicest vacation ever was 3 weeks traveling in iran... and i have been to over 80 countries, so that's no easy achievement.

I think the western world is underestimating how bad conditions can get in a dictatorship and how little they care.

I mean the real question is can they afford not to; people can be starved into stopping aggression, but not into stopping defence.

"And then the fighting started"

That's an interesting way to phrase it

0:00 The two-week war in Iran has been going on for three months, and Kyiv has been going on for five years in three days.

Most of this was also true of North Vietnam, and yet they kept their conflict going for 30 years, outlasting both the French and Americans. Afghanistanโ€™s economy was even more dismal than Iranโ€™s, and yet they were in a perpetual state of war and insurgency for even longer, outlasting the Soviet Union and, once again, the Americans.

Itโ€™s time for a video about OPECโ€™s future

It has been so odd to me how most people only analyze the changes the war has caused to the global economy and not how it is impacting Iran itself. So thanks, I very much appreciate this video!

You'd be surprised how long someone with "nothing" can continue to hold out with "nothing"... ๐Ÿค”

Can they afford to fight? No. Can they afford to stop fighting? Absolutely not.

It's been three months already? Gezz, time flies.
