2026 Wars Won't Look Like You Think

Get my bingo card here: https://ryanmcbeth.substack.com Get my Alcoholics Moving Cargo shirt here: https://www.bunkerbranding.com/pages/ryan-mcbeth In 2025, we learned the same lesson over and over again: cheap drones destroy expensive systems, and the side that wins isn’t the side with the coolest hardware — it’s the side that can build, replace, and sustain faster than the other guy. This video isn’t about cinematic battles or big arrows on maps. It’s about production, logistics, air defense, manpower, and all the boring stuff that actually decides wars. In this video, I break down: * Why Ukraine remains a drone-and-artillery attrition war * What’s really happening in the Red Sea and why it won’t “just end” * Why Iran, Israel, and maritime choke points matter more than headlines suggest * The NATO projects that matter more than shiny new jets * Why factories, machine tools, and ammo plants are strategic weapons * How recruiting is improving — but retention is becoming the real bottleneck * What new systems actually show up in 2026 (and which ones don’t) For uncensored video, check out my substack at: https://ryanmcbeth.substack.com Like my shirts?
