William Spaniel (YouTube channel)

The channel for turning a crisis into a question you can reason about. William Spaniel is a political scientist at the University of Pittsburgh who studies political violence with game theory, and he has been making game theory videos since 2009. His analysis of wars, negotiations and threats asks what each side wants, what it believes and what it can credibly promise, which cuts through a lot of punditry. The visuals are modest, so this suits viewers who care about the argument more than the animation, and his older Game Theory 101 lessons teach the tools if you want to follow along properly.
