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.

In this quick Sunday episode, Alex starts by celebrating the Packers’ win over the Bears. He is excited that they renewed their ownership of Da Bears. For the rest of the episode, Alex focuses on Germany’s conundrum involving Ukraine and Russia. Germany’s Chancellor, Olaf Scholz, is uniquely unpopular and a snap election is going to happen in February, 2025. Inflation, energy costs, and fatigue German aid to Ukraine, has made it possible that he will have one of the shortest tenures as German Chancellor in decades. Scholz seems worried because he had a phone call with Putin last week. Zelensky has said this phone call could have opened Pandora’s Box, and some worry that Putin is trying to get access to foreign leaders. Also, Scholz had a phone call with Donald Trump and said he was moderately impressed with how the Ukraine discussion went. Alex is not sold and is worried about Ukraine’s future.
