Something is changing at Basedment.
We have spent a long time trying to fit everything into two formats. A quick digest for the busy reader, a deep dive for the ones who want more. The problem is that some of you clearly want both, and others want to go so deep into a topic that a newsletter format just cannot contain it.
So we built something that can.
Deep dives with zero restrictions. No word limits, no dumbing it down for digestibility. If a topic demands 4,000 words on Ukrainian drone doctrine, fibre-optic FPVs, and why Russia cannot replace its Pantsir losses fast enough, that is exactly what you are getting.
A weekly predictive market commentary. Where geopolitics is heading and what it means for the world economically and strategically.
Weekly exclusive video analysis and podcast episodes. The conversations we cannot have in a newsletter.
A private Telegram channel with us, the founders. Direct access, real discussion, no filter. If you like good banter mixed with some serious analysis while you’re bored at work, this is the chat for you.
Exclusive merch drops and discounts coming soon (You guys will love this).
For those who like the updates on the train to work, the daily updates are staying. Top 5 geopolitical stories and the global conflict tracker runs Monday to Friday, with exclusive research reports dropping on Saturdays and Sundays.
But if you have ever read a Basedment deep dive and wanted more, this was built for you. Genuinely, no one else is doing this at this level.
