Perun considers what the "blue wave" changes for US defence
His post-election episode looks beyond Washington to Ukraine, Iran, Israel and NATO, as daily channel views climb to almost nine times their usual level.
Why this story? The whole channel is running at 428,842 views a day, 8.8 times a normal day (48,902).
The World After the Blue Wave - What Changes for Ukraine, Iran, Israel & U.S. Defence?
Perun is looking past the result. His new post-election episode asks which American military commitments and spending plans might actually change, rather than treating a Democratic victory as an automatic reset overseas.
"The World After the Blue Wave - What Changes for Ukraine, Iran, Israel & U.S. Defence?" has reached roughly 420,000 views since its Sunday release. Alongside it, daily views across Perun's channel have climbed to almost nine times their usual level. That is a channel-wide rise, not a count for the election episode alone.
The Australian creator usually approaches military power through the things that sustain it: budgets, industrial capacity and investment choices. Here, that means starting with the US political system and defence funding before moving to the Golden Dome missile-defence programme and the implications for allies and ongoing conflicts.
Perun's description sets a deliberately limited expectation: much may stay the same, but some decisions could shift. The episode gives separate sections to Israel and Iran, the Gulf, Russia's war against Ukraine, and NATO, rather than folding every overseas commitment into one election verdict.
For readers choosing where to begin, the defence-budget section starts around eleven minutes in; Ukraine comes later, around minute thirty-seven. Perun closes the analysis with a section on understanding unknowns.
