Geopolitics Advisor Dr. David Knight Legg: The Political Strategy of Destabilization (Ep.13)

David Knight Legg (https://x.com/knightlegg) joins us one year after this pod was first conceived to reflect on a rather tumultuous twelve months. As anticipated David cuts through the headlines and performative politics to precisely hone in on what really is going on underlying the present geopolitical turmoil: the current energy play involving Russia and Iran, Trump’s territorial assertions towards Greenland, the surprising elections in Canada and Australia, and the impact of technology on the next generation. As our first guest and also the first to reprise that role here at the show, David illuminates our understanding of the world and ourselves.
