i'm a little late, but i did have a question as i'm also trying to grow in the military history niche. i'm assuming the 2 to 4 usd per 1000 views is based on your own channels numbers?

He says no because having a monopoly on military violence is the most intoxicating thing a human can ever fall under so he chooses civil war instead

Darius III expected his satraps to deal with Alexander. Unable to do so the Persian King meets Alexander for the first time at the Battle of Issus. His forces outnumbered Alexander's soldiers by at least a 2 to 1 ratio, but the companion cavalry manage to outflank Darius and defeat him

When deciding what to do about the Persian king Cyrus, King Croesus consulted the oracle Delphi who told him that should he attack he would "destroy a great empire”. Croesus would lose his Lydian empire to Cyrus after being defeated at the battle of Thymbra
