The world's flashpoints, explained with maps.

Every day: short briefings on the military and geopolitical news that matters, from the South China Sea to the Middle East.
Every Saturday: one full story in 20 minutes, animated with maps.

Facts first: every video lists its sources in the description. No sides taken: when a government makes a claim, we tell you who said it.

Maps: NASA Blue Marble satellite imagery and Natural Earth. Footage: DVIDS and Wikimedia Commons, public domain or openly licensed.

SITREP = situation report.
