G'day all,
First, let me just say thank you for being here. When I first started the channel I had no idea of the scale it reach or degree of support it would receive. All of you are a major part of that story and so I never want to miss a chance to say thank you.Going into 2026 (which is already looking to be an eventful one) I want to be focused on delivering content you find valuable while also trying to use this Patron platform a bit more to improve your experience.Next week for example I'll have a poll up on whether you'd like to see videos uploaded here as well as YT (ad-free) and if so, in what format. Over the next few days, I'll be looking into what might be possible there so I only offer solutions I know I can implement.
More immediately, I have an question about priority over the next two weeks as I have two videos mostly complete and want to know which you'd like to see sooner.One is the big data driven update for Ukraine, covering what we saw in 2025 and what some of the projections for 2026 would be (if nothing intervenes to change those trends)The other covers the new U.S. security strategy and specific flashpoints including the bizarre Greenland thing and why I would argue it defies strategic logic.
Feel free to put your votes and comments in below.
Finally for the Perun gaming crowd (I know there are a few more of you here recently) - Expect to see roughly the same cadence of releases for the next few weeks. Mostly TI but ICBM should close out properly in the next week or two and there may be some surprises as well.
Once again, belated happy new year all of you and thank you.
