    Hello everybody! There are a lot of new people now. Thanks everyone for subscribing!
    You may have heard that UA-cam has been a bit unreliable lately. Though I think its been unreliable in my favour given that the channel only had about 500 subscribers a month ago. Still its probably best if there is a way for you to see new uploads without having to rely on youtube. The best way to do this is with an email list, so if you want you can follow this link to sign up for the list:
    eepurl.com/csi__f
    Also if you prefer you can use the subreddit, which has the added benefit of a comment section:

      Say that to Swiss Navy, they patrol their own Swiss lakes. In Vietnam the River Patrol Boats were under the command of the US Navy, not the US Army. Even they patrolled the waterways inside South Vietnam, not the sea. During the Rhodesian war, the Rhodesian Army converted the ferry "Ubique" into a warship by placing heavy Soviet machineguns on the upper deck. So, a instant Navy. Just add hot water and wait 3 minutes.

Therefore there are many words in persian that end with „Stan“ not referring to any country’s. Kindergarten means „Kodakistan“ place of the children’s. Or „Rigestan“ means desert, „qabrestan“ means graveyard.

      That is false. Bolivia never intended to invade Chile. The only time that Bolivia and Peru were a possible threat to Chile (according to Chilean political leaders of the time) was during the Bolivian-Peruvian confederation which the Chileans made sure to split. The reason for the new alliance was to defend itself against a possible new Chilean invasion due to the strong increase of Chilean companies in the territories previously considered Bolivian. In addition, Bolivia left the war early because it was not in the best conditions for a war due to internal problems in the country, therefore it does not make sense that it would have been planning to invade Chile.

      In fact, Bosnia has 20 km of coastline -- although the two borders with Croatia are only about 8 km apart (the difference is accounted for by the inclusion in those 20 km of a long peninsula). Bosnia's one coastal town, Neum, is not very well suited to development as a port, however, being poorly linked at present to the country's interior.

    • @Gameflyer001
      @Gameflyer001 6 років тому +3

      The area is almost completely surrounded by Croatia and there just isn't a good amount of land near Neum to build a port, as some of Croatia's islands are quite close to it.

    @Ruminations09 8 років тому +13

    Over the few weeks, I've really come to love your channel.
    I just have 2 pieces of criticism for you to help you improve:
    1) At 3:45 in the videop (and a few other spots) you represented Serbia with a light blue color, which is only slightly greener than the ocean. This was fine when you showed it as Serbia and Montenegro since it was connected to the sea, but once the map switched to show it in its landlocked state, it became really difficult to distingish the difference between the 2 at a glance.
    I would reccommend that in the future, you avoid using any light blue to represent anythong other than ocean or lakes.
    2) The way you talk can sound really stilted at times. I haven't noticed this problem in every video, but I have noticed it in about half of them, this one being one of them. I can't really think of a good way to articulate why the way you talk sounds stilted, but I'll try:
    It can sometimes sound like you're trying too hard to put emphasis on certain words or phrases that you say.
    Also, it sounds like you force yourself to raise the end of your sentance. Most of the time, people don't raise the end of a sentance unless they're shouting or asking a question; in most other sentances, people drop their voice at the end of the sentance.
    Compare the way you would say these 2 words for a better example of what I'm talking about:
    Really?
    Really.
    I think this problem may derive from the fact that you subconsiously feel like you have sort of perform your script since you're doing it for an audience. I'm not sure how you would go about fixing that, but I think knowing that the problem exists is definately the first step for you to improve.
