News For Dummies

News for Dummies analyses international security, defence and geopolitics.

Researched and written by Andres Gutiérrez.

We don't repeat the news. We work through what an event costs, who carries it, and what it changes in the balance of power.

Every episode is researched from primary and open sources before anything is written. Documents are named in the narration. Claims made by a party to a conflict are identified as claims, not established fact, and where accounts conflict we say so.

Editorial decisions — what we cover, what we claim, and what we refuse to claim — are human. Narration is synthetic, and imagery is a mix of public-domain archive, rendered data and generated illustration. Every episode declares which is which.

WHAT WE DON'T DO
No investment, legal, medical or voting advice. No casualty figures presented as fact. No unverified claims dressed up as reporting.

If you want the reasoning behind an event rather than a summary, this is the channel.
