Binkov's Newsletter, August 2018

Hi, my dear patron!

You wondered what videos we have in store? Here are the details:

We've been working on the US vs China: Trade war video, as mentioned previously. It has actually been fast tracked and is going to be completed soon. We hope to have it ready for publication by the end of the next week. It's a big video, over 17 minutes long, as we tried to cover a lot of ground. The tariffs, possible non tariff responses as well as geopolitical aftermath. 

It's certainly new ground for us as well, and we had some outside help to check the text. Thing is, economy can be a pretty volatile thing, almost impossible to predict in some cases. Still, we believe it's going to be fun and informative video, at least for those two don't follow the trade war news day in and day out.

Two weeks after that we're going to publish Israel vs Iran. It's currently being researched and text is being written. We will try to cover or at least mention the following in that video: Ballistic missile attacks by both sides, ballistic missile defenses, possible air strikes by both sides, aircraft range issues, air defenses and how could the political aspect of the war very much change the threat levels. 

Depending on simple permissions to use airspace of various countries that lie between Iran and Israel, both sides might have it quite harder to pull it all off. We will also do an analysis of a hypothetical Arena war, where ground troops of both sides are next to each other. In reality, of course, such a ground war would be next to impossible.

Then sometime in late September we are also planning to make a new kind of video. We will do "Battle of Midway", an animated rundown of the famous WW2 battle. Should be attractive to watch, we think.

We will probably be doing a few more of such videos, until the end of the year. We almost went with "Raid on Tatsinskaya" as our first such ww2 battle animated video, but even though it was a really interesting battle, Midway is simply more known. We do plan to explore lesser known battles as well. It all really depends on what the future will bring.

And as you've noticed in recent months, we've also started to do newsflash videos more often. But it's hard to predict if we'll have any of those in the month or two to come. It really depends on both the news
influx, how newsworthy certain events are, and on our availability at
the time. If we're just finishing up a feature video, and we're in a
crunch, maybe we won't have time to squeeze in another newsflash video. Because even those usually take 2-3 days to make.

So that's it for now. Hopefully in a month or so we will have some interesting, non YouTube channel news to announce as well, but... who knows. :)

Salutations!
