The vote for the next!

As previously announced, the vote for the next video will take place before the video I am working on is finished. The purpose of this is that I would like to announce the next video at the end of each video.

Currently, in the making are: 

A summary of the Indian conflicts (short video, 12-20 minutes)

A video about Turkey in the 20th century (long video, 60-120 minutes)

Here are your choices for the next video, picked by the higher tier patrons for you to vote on. Don't forget to vote!

Why does the West hate Iran?

I feel that is a question bearly posed, or answered, so I would like to see if it can be answered and what the answer would be.

The Great Paper Bear

Russia. The inheritor of both a Soviet and Imperial legacy is the predominant power of the European cultural sphere. Yet still, it faces internal challenges that it seeks to cover up in its pursuit of global ambitions.

Behind the most dangerous Channel on Youtube.

Qatar. Al Jazeera. ISIS. and more. In this video, we will start with an in-depth media analysis of a social media presence ranging from the youtube channel AJ Plus to Al Jazeera, to charity foundations building extremist mosques in Italy and France, to financial networks that siphon money from wealthy donors to ISIS and other terror organizations throughout the world.

American Autism

How America is the origin and battleground of a culture war over pop culture and social structures which in the end is just annoying to the rest of the world. The story of Americacentrism, how America reshapes the world through merely seeing the world from an American lens, and thereby can come across as somewhat silly and out of touch.

And how cultural differences matter more in politics than people may at first assume.

How Greece won Euro 2004

I remember when Greece won the European championship of 2004 and have been somewhat fascinated with that story since. It was pretty much the ultimate underdog story. A plucky small country defeating a continents best to be crowned champions.

A story worth retelling.

The new Silk Road

The belt and Road initiative started by China is one of the most amazing and ambitious geopolitical undertakings since the end of colonialism. Far from just being another infrastructure project, or some new trade route or other, once this project is completed, it will reshape global trade in ways not seen since the opening of the Panama and Suez Canal. Creating big winners and big losers alike it will reshape our world and make a largely forgotten region of it, a key geopolitical location.
