Binkov's August poll, 2020
Help us pick a topic, to be made into a future video. Four sets of countries, should be some interesting stuff in here. :)

New video: Could Portugal survive a Spanish military invasion?
What if Spain wanted to rekindle some of the centuries old animosities against Portugal and launched an invasion into its neighbor? Could Portugal survive? And what would become of the Azores and Canary islands?

This video pits two South American neighbors in a stand off over the Andes. Does Argentina have a stronger army than Chile? Does Chile prevail in the air and on the seas? How can either side transform their strengths into advantages? And how would the geography mold the course of this hypothetical conflict?
