They are the reason we have a war in Ukraine

@bartangel4867

@@elibrod9981 well i agree on one thing with you. Americans do have tendency to draw bad conclusions but as far as war in Ukraine if Ukrainians want sovereignty its absolutely their right. and if Putin is anything like Trump and Trump seems to support him then he should not be president and he certainly shouldn't invade Ukraine. Although NATO isn't without fault. by bringing anti ballistic missiles right next to Russian border they pushed Putin to protect Russian interest and keep the power in balance. but that does not excuse attack on Ukraine. the truth is that neither Russia or the west should have any say in what happens in central and southern Europe. They are their own independent countries. and as Slavs we should work together not against each other and this whole thing in Ukraine is the worst disaster since World War Two. What will Russians do when they take Kiev if west doesn't respond it will make them look weak so they will most likely respond. And all of this might end up becoming world war three. If west does not respond. Russia will destroy Ukraine's infrastructure and send them back couple hundred years in development. or they will do something worse. Putin claims that Ukraine is fascist but its Trump who is his supporter and he is far right and is against Ukraine. and fascists were right wingers like Trump only more extreme. and while I personally don't trust the west. Russia's rule is not acceptable. in world war two as Germans attacked from the west Russians attacked from the east and were working together until Hitler turned on Stalin. that makes Russians better than Germans but it does not make up for what happened at Katyn forest.

High neuroticism is bad cause of anxiety, depression, bad mood etc. But too low neuroticism goes with recklessness, carelessness and miscalculation of danger and consequences. It's difficult to say whether he has too low neuroticism because on the one hand he seems to not care about the consequences of his actions. But on the other hand he seems to be terrified of the west and overly paranoid about the "dangerous" world outside of his country with its evil intentions. If he was as frightened and paranoid of himself as he is of "the west" we would not have these problems

I'd like to point out one detail about Putin, which only became apparent after his recent "peacekeeping" operation started. I find his choice of dates for both the declaration of the so called republics and his full-scale invasion of Ukraine very telling. He seems to like memorable dates - 22.02.2022 for the recognition of the breakaway republics and 24.02.2022 for the invasion. The former is a no-brainer, the second is the day after the Defender of the Fatherland Day in Russia. I think the guy wants these to look grandiose if not providential in history books. I think this might be useful in predicting some of his next moves.

Hitler wasn't really unhinged although thanks to Dr Morel he probably had amphetamine psychosis more or less constantly, and created a bizarre parallel universe where he was worshipped like a god and surrounded by sycophants. There's a fascinating book called "I knew Hitler" by Kurt Lüdecke who was one of the first Nazis and was sent to raise money from Mussolini and Henry Ford in the 1920s before Hitler turned on him and made him "special prisoner of the Fuehrer". Apparently Hitler had absolutely no problem with homosexuals and his vegetarian diet and abstinence from alcohol had a spiritual basis. He seems to have been an expert manipulator and a delusional narcissist with psychopathic tendencies.

I thought only we in Russia have psychologists who diagnose by avatar. You said that Putin's image is a picture created by the Kremlin's image makers. Then who has the signs of the dark triad: the picture or the personality? How do you make conclusions about personality characteristics based only on subjective assessments? Have you talked to him, do you have his diaries? Maybe it's something of yours, but it has nothing to do with him.

As always, I find you analysis very interesting. I’d like you to do more on Putin now that the war has begun, and address the ultimate question, “is Putin capable of pushing the red button on a nuclear war?”

4:25: Small clarification on Putin's rise to power. It was not in opposition to Boris Yelstin, but in fact thanks to Yeltsin who picked Putin himself to replace him. Yeltsin's health was fast deteriorating (heavy drinking didn't help), and he was worried he and his family would have to face criminal investigations once he left power. There was also the impression that he wanted to avoid Mikhail Gorbachev's fate who was shunted from public life, held responsible for the country's collapse, and likely without much resources coming straight from USSR times (he climbed up from it eventually). It was assumed that there was some quid pro quo whereby Putin guaranteed that Yeltsin's and his family would not be subjected to criminal investigations or lawsuits after stepping down (justified or not, this is Russia). Back then, Putin was perceived in the West as a former bureaucrat whose political career was limited to Saint Petersburg in the very hectic and brutal post soviet times.

I just watched a long interview all about Putin on PBS that I never saw before . Now I think I have understood what motivates his horrific behaviours . I think he suffers the Short man complex. imo it is key to his internal rage and revengefulness . Im not a psychologist. but If someone hides who they are constantly , like how short they are , this is key to understanding them . He grew up in a tough slum like place with children of little supervision . He was third child of two previous children that had died before he was born . He was born of parents in their 40 s . They , I believe enabled and pushed his ego as being a chosen child , a golden child . He was bullied by children until he learned martial arts . And he is proud of and pushes this idea greatly of his ability to take revenge after being defeated or appearing to be defeated . He imo is most dangerous because of this in particular . He built up his military to take revenge now . This small short man complex , This being bullied as a child and rejected , made this terrible flaw in his character . It created the need in him to seek revenge I feel , and the need to be respected by everyone . If he appears to be losing this war , Im afraid he will do something even more extreme . He has the mind of a terrorist , holding us hostage , and Im afraid of his impulsive reactions at this time . The nuclear reactors especially in The Ukraine are now of great concern to all of us , with this man and his crazy fears and delusions unleashed .

But the things they believe about voting and Biden are gob-smacking unreal. We just sit their with our jaws dropping trying not to say a thing. For example Biden was early in calling Europe alerting to the risk if an attack from NATO and has managed to draw together a unique set of sanctions intended to hurt Putin and cut off supplies of finance. Biden and Zeilenski are responsible for motivating Europe and other like minded countries to act - while (rightly or wrongly) stopping short of going to war with Russia. It’s a shame to see a daily attack on Biden by various right-wing media. It’s a shame Americans continue to be manipulated

I am Serbian. My grand/grand father was named Vladimir. Serbia and Russia are part of a broad Slavic sphere of Europe. Serbs and Russians have the same religious denomination - Orthodox Christianity, similar language, and in spite of some cultural differences, strong romantical bond is perserved, especially among Serbs. Serbians, as a much smaller nation have admired Russia since the past times and considered it as a big brother and power for good in the world. I would say that both of the nations, Serbs and Russians have to battle their demons, and they are : ignorance among the poor (fair part of both nations), lack of education, nepotism, corruption, slavery to the nationalistic ideas, toxic conservatism and lack of insight of the rest of the world. I am saddened because of the lack of objectivity and reason by my people. For the big part of the nation, especially in a rural and provincial areas, Putin is a hero and a force for good. I can clearly see, that he is a dictator, autocratic leader and a dangerous person. I feel pity for my idealistic, trapped in 19th century, nationalistic, uneducated, infantile fellow countryman in Serbia. Vladimir Putin is a threat for peace and civilized world. That is my strong opinion. By the way I love Russia so much and pity it for the very same reasons.

I am originally from Finland, living in the USA. After the WWII where Finland had a war with Soviet Union I knew a lot of Finns using a derogatory words in talking about Russians. I never disliked Russians, I found Finnish basic personality traits being similar to Russians. It is not the people that are bad, they lived in feodalistic society, cold, hunger, hard work for survival, being robbed from minimal survival. It is easy to control uneducated hungry country people by just giving a piece of bread that Putin has done. But they do not understand that Putin has robbed then, again, as the czars. It is not difficult to control people like that by giving them dreams of glory days, keep them uneducated, occupied by just trying to earn enough for food. Then again, certain political factions have the same ideology in the USA. People working hard at $7.25/HR wages do not have time and energy to obtain education and realize they are being used by someone else's benefits. I believe your evaluation of Serbs and Russians is quite correct. The world needs to get rid of Putin.

No, it is an ASPD trait (aka psychopathy and sociopathy), lack of fear response and lack of concern with consequences. On the other hand, lack of fear can also be a trait of very spiritually evolved people as well--people like Yeshua, Buddha, Gandhi, etc were probably very low in fear, but also very high in empathy, conscience, and conscientiousness which is very different than ASPD. People on the NPD spectrum tend to have more normal levels of fear--sometimes greater so.

"He is not particularly intelligent". You lost me right there. That assessment was quite subjective, therefore not true.

Five weeks after Putin’s invasion of Ukraine 🇺🇦 your assessment of Putin seems very accurate and interesting.

As a Russian speaking person, I once turned on a video with Putin's speech to Russians, maybe from a year ago, never had listened to him before that. I was really surprised how charismatic he came around. I can see how appealing he can be to Russian simple folks.

Hello Dr. Grande, there are 2 statements you mentioned in this video that I find are very spot on. The first one is how personality profiles are most of the time very accurate. But the best diagnosis of this video comes with your final thoughts on Vladimir Putin. I so much agree with you that he is dangerous and strives to be a "glorious leader". Your thoughts are "unfortunately true". Hoping that the ongoing events will end well. Thank You for a well-explained analysis. Best Regard. 👍❤

Very good analysis.

OK. So how best to deal with this character? He cannot lose face, he won't back down, he feels no empathy : 'The ends justify the means'. So is the best way to offer a 'Golden Bridge', which allows him to get some of the things he wants.... for now?

Dr Grande, could you perhaps do the same type of analysis on Jair Bolsonaro, the president of Brazil? My fellow Brazilians and I are 100% sure that he has some sort of personality disorder, but it would be amazing to hear the opinions of a professional like you. I know you won’t diagnose him, but rather speculate about what could be happening in a situation like this.

@@meerkat192 Yes, I agree. Unfortunately he only understands force, he didn't learn that one gets much more with honey... If he had focused on raising the technological knowledge, education and such in Russia, the well being of his people and all that in peace with west, he had now been hero not only among his own but possibly west too. I mean if he had focused on being an exceptional peaceful leader.. Instead of forcing Ukraine, he could have tried to make it tempting for them to join Russia in some kind of union, not force to be part of it. But no.. What I have watched years and years on tv and newspapers in Finland , I have noticed him being very calculative and scheming and strategic. What worries me besides the faith of all Ukrainians, is that people turn hostile towards Russians who live in other countries and have no wish for this war or accept it. Stores not selling to Russians etc. just because they are Russians is going overboard. That kind of behavior will eventually impact to the Russians who are actually against this war and Putin and maybe turn some of them against West out of pure frustration. Though I would rather hope they got even more angry to Putin about it. This we have seen happening with other wars too that citizens of those countries become targets of harassment just because they come from that country, even though they are peaceful and totally against what happens. Like all of the sudden the neighbor you have known for 10 years became someone else because the leader they don't even support does awful things. Many Russians here have gone together with Ukrainians to the marches against the war. They also just want to live their lives in peace.And no I have no particular relations to any Russians or have close friends. I just don't like this kind of hate towards innocent people based on their nationality. If they commit crimes it is totally another matter of course. About Putin I have thought he is a psychopath for long before this happened, for example when there were some rumors about taking Finland back(my home country) and I was reading about that but also other things about Putin and other Russian politicians. My first thought then was hell no. Though I think it was more one other guy talking about it than Putin. I can't remember his name. Naturally I am now worried about it happening because Finland has been a part of Russia many times before getting independence and then giving Russia parts of Karelia in WW2 to not lose that independence. I don't know if it is luckily, but Finland doesn't have so many resources that would benefit Putin though, so it would probably cost too much for him compared to the benefits. Still it is a great worry for me. And I live in Norway which has oil and fish, both really good resources to get hands on and long border with Russia in the north, almost no guards there. So yeah who knows what Putin gets in his head next if he would happen to manage to win. Or what he has had in his head for a long time.Whatever he sees as a win because I don't think west just lets him take over Ukraine.The problem is that since he is trying to show Russians how west is against Russia, well this is kind of way of confirming that. No matter how unjustified it is , some people still think it is west turning against Russians. Especially if he has got part of Russians convinced that Ukraine is a part of Russia and was stolen by west. After the pandemic this happening when world has just recovered from another horrible thing is just brutal. But that he didn't do it during the worst lockdown when it had been easiest when world was in state of shock , makes me wonder why? He probably needed West too much to help with the pandemic. Well what if there will be another one starting right now? I don't want to paint black on the wall but we can't know when the next one hits. There has been something every three four years. Life is complicated enough without all these power hungry crazy people. My sympathies to all the Ukrainians, I am so sorry you have to experiences this horror. Same to all other victims of wars. It is horrible to have to leave behind everything you know, barely having few clothes and maybe some pictures with you, not knowing where to go or what tomorrow brings. I hope you all get to return home.
