<p>In this episode, Alex starts by stopping himself from ranting about Thanksgiving being overrated (mainly because of turkey). Then Alex transitions to talking about Turkey — in this case, President Biden seems to be pardoning turkeys as the world burns. Of course, he argues that Biden has done a lot, but there is something symbolic about a lame duck pardoning a turkey. Alex spends the majority of the episode talking about the troubling new hypersonic missile that Russia is testing and using in Ukraine. He also talks about escalation, Putin gaslighting the west, fears of cultural genocide in Ukraine, and why the United Kingdom is worried about cyberattacks using AI coming from Russia. </p>

Pardoning Turkeys While Rome Burns: Russia’s Supersonic Missile & Fears of Cultural Genocide

Alex Kopytko is a ”radical centrist” that wants to understand the extremes. He has worked in politics and has studied public policy and political science. Alex argues that centrism is less about being a contrarian, it is about being able to change your mind and embrace an openness to new ideas. He is concerned about where the United States is headed and through conversations with people from all sides of the political spectrum, he wants to know how Americans can limit the tribalism that is flourishing. As someone that dances along the center-right of the political spectrum, Alex thinks the country needs to come together and talk to one another before it could be too late. This podcast covers domestic politics, as well as political philosophy, and international issues.
