The psychology of Putin: Psychiatrist reveals what’s really wrong with the Russian leader 

Times radio needs to get rid of this American journalist. What an incompetent so called professional.

Puttin a Lunatic criminal mad old man

Not after this Putin's shill

Times Radio is so hilarious 1. If the West actually knew what went through Putin's mind we wouldn't be in this war in the first place (not totally true Victoria Nuland has singlehandedly ensured invasion) 2. You keep coming up with these videos as a deflection from the failed counter offensive.

Rent free.

His legacy As Boris Nemtsov predicted hes destroyed Ruzzia. An insignificant little man spoiled by his mother, who was given too much power and found himself trapped in the wrong century.

BlackRock Zelenskiy doesn't 😂

We are waiting for the day he will be find his purpose : a meter under the russian soil.

Joe Biden couldn't raise a leg, never mind an arm He is the biggest joke in American history, followed by all the Democrats 🤣🤣🤣🐑🐑🐑

it wasn't earned - that's the thing. Putin has never had a blue collar job. never worked too much at all, in fact. never invented a brilliant new thing, or started an amazing business. it's just stolen.

Russia will be keeping half of what is now considered Ukraine. The rest will be a thorn in Europes side for decades

Never negotiate with a psychopath. Keep the pressure (sanctions) on, and hit the weak points in Crimea until the Russian population no longer favor their dictator.

@@ridethecurve55 psychopaths don't negotiate. That's why DC doesn't....

Don’t apologise. This doc is a quack.🦆

Why would you not want to contradict a Putin fanboy spreading nonsense.

@@bradleybaker8894 Because I'm neither psychiatrist nor psychologist. Still, those long Hitlerian and "Napoleonic" tables, insane fear of germs, psychopathic, sadistic destruction of civilian houses, energy supply and now those grain supplies indicate that Putin is mad. BtW, also the Chinese Winnie-the-Ping is mad.

As are Bush, Biden, Johnson, Blair

@@petercopping7176and you are the useful idiot..

Agree. Pootin is one small pathetic coward hiding behind his nukes

But he probably ran away on a wild horse without a shirt on. 😅

@@MrPirreE The horse from the Pony Express overstock he secretly bought out.

He's probably another closet Putin fan. I mean, if he's invested so much time into studying him it would make sense.

He gets a lot wrong. In reality, Putin has barely worked in his life. And never had a blue-collar job. There is precisely zero evidence that he is tough or capable of much of anything of value.

And a monster

Yeah, he gave him too much credit. Pootin just a coward hiding behind his nukes

Dude! paulchulla is just a thicko

Worse than the Mafia! Don Vito Corleone was a Saint compared to Putin. At least Corleone was a man of honor!

So is Biden, as proven by recent news (we all knew it any-way) hey but at least Putin can string a sentence together

You got it! Yet another Putin-versteer. And he speaks in a typical nutty psychiatrist manner. Referring to Levada's polling killed this clip for me.

Yes, there was little information on his mental state. Its a mistake to call Putin a genius, certainly given the enormous mistakes he has made. Putin could have made Russia a top state, but couldn't and didn't. Genius or mediocrity? Was this an interview with a psychiatrist or just another geopolitical analyst?

Baseline he isn't advocating violence and they will likely lose Crimea, I don't own two summer homes let alone my neighbors

You do wonder if Putin is paying these people.

Also, he says that a slight majority of Americans do not favor giving aid. I just read a poll yesterday that 80% are in favor OF....

@@MissChristine-wo6vp I have seen the videos. He is pathetic. No master. Just bluster.

@@MissChristine-wo6vp Kremlin Propaganda.

Maybe he was, but he's a coward. Look at how he's hidden from COVID and shys away from visiting the front lines (even with body doubles) and was on a plane as soon on as the rebellion started. He is also weak physically. No-one remains a martial arts expert through senility.

you are completely right regarding this comment. the interviewee is not, either. obviously.

@@MissChristine-wo6vp His belt was given to him because his master would have been pushed out of a window if he did not. Putin is no master of Martial Arts. I’ve seen his judo clips; his opponent let him win. He’s a fraud.

You've a very biased view of the "West". Who is this West you speak of? Maybe this West isn't capable, which is more likely, and who says this West needs to be listened to, the West isn't the world

Easier said than done: as Einstein has said "there are only 2 things that are infinite: universe and human stupidity. And we are not entirely sure about the former". The amount of stupidity that the West is exhibiting, is enormous - and _not only_ re: Russia.

Absolutely correct!

I don't get you, you mean taken the peace deal he offered in March 2022

Same applies to China; the West needs to STOP TRADING with them !

Especially by this guy who considers himself an expert. As well, by then we had all seen the ridiculous videos of Putin riding a horse shirtless, which was so nauseating. And others from the Kremlin, where he is announced like star, with thousands of paid audience members fawning and applauding, while he walks in the garishly decorated areas admiring himself. So excessive. Utterly gross. Respect was not my reaction, nor would it be that of world leaders.

FULLY AGREED 👍

​@@cattymajiv WELL SAID ! AMAZINGLY RIDICULOUS🤣🤡

Western European ignorance. I speak as a Western European.

lllllllllllllll

Hi

He's a pychiatrist and she's asking and he's opining on matters which are way outside his area of expertise. He's talking about as much sense on what's going to happen as half cut Jo down the pub.

🇺🇸🇺🇦He earned russian citizenship in this interview , he can pass by the near russian embassy to pick up his passport without question 🇺🇦🇺🇸

Good news - they did. @lucecavanaugh1740 should find something intelligent to say.

Yeah - just another pointless and gratuitous reference to Churchill. Plus an literal, absurd and facile description of putler as 'a street fighter'! Even his 'martial arts' bouts are fixed - because if you beat him, he has you killed (But not by himself!).

And he portraits Putin as somebody strong and 'Ukraine is not winning' gives him away.

I wonder if the interviewer ought not to do more to keep the psychiatrist to his skills. It is now no more than the comments of a random intelligent person.

​@@user-us3sb5ix9n: worse than that, what he says is mostly nonsense, even about putler he gave no real assesment.

@@WHS_reviews exactly, he totally missed that the Russians are trying to capture Ukraine since the early 1700s, and the Ukrainians have been fighting back ever since, which means the war started in the 18th century and not with Putin, and only a defeat will stop the Russians, followed by an entry into NATO for Ukraine, like it stopped the endless take over of Poland, and he is talking about respecting the Russian feelings and in the same sentence he is talking about Russian speaking Ukrainians, which is a red flag, as most Ukrainians speak Russian due to forced occupation by Russia in the past

You know precisely nothing about him. He is neither a dictator nor a war criminal, nor is he afraid of losing power.

Hello

@@robertatkins9419Putin is scared. You could see it on his face when Prigozhin was coming for him 😂😂😂

That’s what they said about the joker but Batman persisted in fighting evil

Indeed. Always a giveaway

and also praising Putin's judo "mastery" as if that state propaganda were trustworthy, and called his biography beautiful. And called Russia's "history" rich. SO many giveaways that hes a bootlicker.

He’s a useful idiot and mouthpiece for the the Russians..

A lot of defeatist talk here. Not a lot of optimism. Even the interviewer wants to talk about negotiations with Russia. There should be no negotiations with an indicted war criminal. Just where and when he should be incarcerated.

The old guys are stuck in 1965

this is the best comment I've read. Watch "Inside Russia" to learn of the economic disaster in RuZZia.

1. If the sanctions are so effective, why are there constant calls for more? 2. It's the IMF who project Russia's economy to grow. 3. Where's the proof that there is widespread discontent with Putin within Russia?

Exactly. To say that the sanctions dosn't work is a very strange view. The RuZZian economy has more or less collapsed and they are living on their saved money. Those will be sufficient to the end of this year. If you check Joe Blogs you can see when he breaks down the numbers RuZZia publich and the defecit in their economy is HUGE.

It depends on what you mean by "don't work". If you mean they don't work as advertised then they clearly don't, if you believe they have no effect then you're equally divorced from reality. The Russian economy may not be as rosy as Russia likes to pretend, neither is it in danger of imminent collapse. The notion that Russia is full of people who hate Putin and are too afraid to say so is absolute nonsense. Putin does not have a vice like grip on public opinion and information like the Chinese have. The fact is that an easily sufficient number of Russians are very much in favour of "Making Russia Great Again" and have no problem with Russia's unreconstructed imperialism and nationalist mythology.

Yeah, and his numbers on support for aid in America

I stopped watching after the 5th time he said it.

Except it has precisely zero chance of taking the land bridge

No he should have he is simply being honest and not following the western media propaganda narrative.

Yeah, he even thinks Russia number one Ally, China should negotiate. What is this guy on? maybe taking his own meds.

This guy is a Putin and Russian fanboy. So many points of false and misleading information in this video.

Agree! I literally yelled out 'what!!?' when this guy said rational. Not diggin this speaker 😏

Never happened. Liars never win dude

Couldn’t agree more. Putin was an officer in the KGB, not a military one. He was part of a more moderate post Soviet Russian government an attained status. But Putin couldn’t shake the memory of the Soviet Union and how much perceived power was nothing more than propaganda. The power of a great nation isn’t on how much harm the nation can inflict upon the world, but how strong an economic engine makes a country overall. This is the failure of Putin - desire to be viewed as fearful instead of influential on the world stage.

Rent free.

​@@JD-kg3mx It's sort of the m.o. of most despots and dictators b/c their repressive regimes simply can't perform or compete with the latter you mention. And then they seek to destroy any nearby nation states that embrace western institutions, democracy and rule of law. As these nearby states become more and more successful (Ukraine, Taiwan) the authoritarian regimes feel they need to destroy them as they provide a very real example of a better standard of living to their repressed peoples. The other cheap trick they use is constant propaganda that brainwashes their population a fantasy that they are under constant threat by the west and western aligns states, and that they need the despot to protect them. It's ironic, that if they only could travel that'd see that nobody western aligned much knows nor talks about them let alone is planning their demise or invasion. You could argue it helps them feel more important and meaningful than they know they are, which is a massive void that needs filling when you live under a dictator and a false veil of exceptionalism.

I think is more like 75b so, ,7 days.

I have mild autism, so I have had to deal with psychiatrists a few times. Most of them know less about the human psyche than an average guy picked randomly from the street. They usually have some mental problems themselves and/or became psychiatrist because a family member had autism/ADHD/mental retardation/schizophrenia etc. I'd say that 80% of the psychiatrists here in Sweden are totally worthless and that probably goes for most of them in the US as well. Or it might be even more bullshitters in the US, judging from this video.

they often are psychopaths or mentally unstable...

They very often are crazier than there patients. I should know, I've worked in front-line mental health for decades.

You don’t have to be mad to be evil.

@@anthonyhulse1248 Yes but it sure helps

Makes you wonder what constitutes insanity...

The GW rule does not apply to the interview. Dekleva does not go into detail and did not diagnose a psychiatric disorder according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders.

@@julilab I know he didn't diagnose anything, but given the Goldwater rule as an adjacent standard and the logic behind it, plus Putin's overall lack of transparency and honesty, we shouldn't uncritically accept all the claims that aren't based on having taken part in any kind of psychiatric session.

@@godlessqueertheywarnedyouabout I understand & respect your point as it pertains to professionals in the field of Mental Disorders, especially comments by accredited psychologists & psychiatrists which include recommended treatments & specific predictions of future behaviours. However, Putin's own behaviour over the last 30+ years, his autobiography, and his interactions with countless political leaders, diplomats, businessmen, etc all provide a bevy of information, which IMHO enables one to come to some reasonable conclusions (.e.g. Putin checks most or all of the boxes for Psychopathic Personality Disorder, and Machiavellian Personality Disorder). Since treatment is not the goal, which brings all sorts of responsibility, I believe that, throughout the 'free world', the general public, politicians & diplomats, journalists & even military leaders would greatly benefit from an awareness & understanding of personality disorders & the associated characteristics, relational strategies & goals, world views, coping mechanisms, realistic expectations, etc regarding Putin. With that in mind, I would suggest that, ideally, with accredited professionals like Dr. Dekleva, it would be best if the professional educates the audience re: several personality disorders (e.g I was hoping that 'The Dark Triad' would have been discussed), characteristic behaviours, plus the 'danger' presented by individuals with such personality disorders who are present within politics, the corporate world, other positions of influence & power, and personal relationships. Then, I guess, the conversation would have to move another guest, for the purpose of diagnosing & understanding what makes Putin tick.

Why would we even care if you are white or green. Why would you mention that? I admit I don't know enough about SA, but it appears that the black S Africans are still subjected to lot of racism. What do think happened there?

Right. So when a Democrat quotes a Wall Street Journal poll to make a point, is he or she then transmogrified into a "MAGA Republican"?

(1) His views & the views of the interviewer strongly reflected a U.S.-based perspective & set of narratives, which have been based upon a fundamental lack of awareness & understanding of (a) the history, culture & evolving world view of the leaders & citizens of Russia, the USSR, and - now - the Russian Federation, (b) the long-term goals & the range of methods/strategies demonstrated by the Putin & the Russian Federation, (c) a deeper understanding of the true mindset & priorities of Putin, and (d) what type of 'diplomacy' will work with Putin & the Russian Federation. (2) IMHO, both Dr. Dekleva & the interviewer voiced the same narratives & assumptions that resulted in totally inadequate & very misplaced foreign policy re the Russian Federation that we've seen over the last 30 years....along with compromises which, unofficially, were influenced by accelerated levels of entanglement between politicians, businessmen, investors, corporations & banks in the U.S.A./other parts of 'the west'...AND.... industry, oligarch money, and Putin's agendas in the Russian Federation.

Amen to that! They’ve been electing psychotic narcissistic autocrats for about two hundred years and questions the mentality of the russian people!

can still be rational but low level 1 move ahead, deeper consequences for himself/his country he doesn't take into account (which to normal people means he is insane). Putler is an idealistic psych opath.

is it rational to keep fighting a counter offensive that you can't possibly win or is it rational to seek a peace deal and save lives

Putin isn’t just a legend in Russia,he will go down as a world legend .as for all the NATO block leaders ,they will be forgotten for the morons they were ,Biden,boris,macron,scholz all total losers and fools 😂😂😂

Delusional, no that's Zelensky and Biden thinking that this counter offensive is going to be successful, which incidentally all this video is, a deflection from that When you say 'human qualities' is it human to get another country to fight a proxy war for you, knowing it realistically can't win, killing people unnecessarily, that's human is it

I.think we can all live with different perspectives and respect those but only with proper reasoning. I felt that was unconvincing and missing.

Rent free.

Sounds great in theory but look at the way Red States are systematically eliminating empathy and an understanding of people in difficult circumstances from their curricula, backed by book bans. They don't want kids growing up knowing the history of oppression of some groups, leading to ongoing marginalisation. They don't want them educated to research things properly themselves rather than swallow propaganda. They want to continue to "other" marginalised groups rather than educate about them or even include a character from such a group in a picture book or novel. They don't want difference to be accepted, let alone celebrated. In this way fear, hatred of "others" and love of "strongmen" who stoke those fears and hatreds will continue to produce the wrong type of people going for, and rising to, positions of power.

Truly a lot of the youth today are lost. "Give me" attitude. And then there are the great exceptions. Society need ethical leaders We need ethical examples. Too much shallow processing. "Mine". "I want"and "you owe me"
