In this episode, Alex starts by reacting to a podcast he listened to that discusses Trump’s personality changes from 2016 to now. It seems like desperation and darkness have consumed him. Next, Alex looks into how external and internal factors are making it so that Ukraine is struggling against Russia and the likelyhood of Russia getting some concessions is increasing. Alex argues that complacency, internal stagnation, and Russia’s recovering war machine will make Ukraine’s agenda more and more difficult. Also, the spectre of Trump 2.0 looms on the horizon. Finally, Alex laments the fact that the QAnon Shaman is running for office.
