![อาจารย์ยอด : เรื่องแปลกจากท้องนา [ผี]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/8PxYzVOjmK8/mqdefault.jpg)
I live in the northern part of Ukraine. And today, I woke up in the middle of the night to the sounds of bombing. I know exactly who is responsible for the terrorising of our citizens. But, no matter what, we stay strong. Thank you for your analysis! ❤️
Praying for you, your country and the world! ❤
God bless and protect you, Olha! Stay strong!!! 💗
That’s very sad to hear…thoughts and prayers to you and all of Ukraine.
Good Lord this is terrible, stay safe 😢
So sorry you’re experiencing this. We’re all praying for you
It's bad enough having neighbours and work collagues that are psychopaths, but seeing more and more of them heading up entire countries makes me feel sick to my stomach. 🤢
Some of them are also surgeons. It's just a desired trait in some professions I guess 🤷
Psychopathy in those who gain power is nothing new. It's a trait that stayed with our species as we evolved in physically harsher times. But have a nice day.
@Angie S
Those stats sound like something you just pulled outta your ass
It's also interesting when you consider that it isn't allowed to accuse someone of lying in the British parliament. This might be seen as contributing towards a safe space for psychopathy. I am not suggesting Britain is worse than anywhere else in this regard, but it is an example with which I am familiar.
It's been said that most CEO's, billionaires, and political leaders are high in sociopathic traits because they're in dog eat dog industries where the strongest and most manipulative tend to survive and thrive.
“Putin’s apparent difficulty keeping his shirt on is reminiscent of a condition Matthew McConaughey suffered from for many years.” 😂 Brilliant
Glory to Ukraine
I want to add that I support the Ukrainian people, as well as Russians who have demonstrated their position against Putin’s actions. I am aware of the peril in which they have placed themselves. One man with enough psychopathic traits can wreak havoc on the world. The U.S. is still dealing with the impact of a similar figure.
Good points.
TRUMP FOR PRESIDENT!!!!!
@@antb9521 I don't care much for Biden but i really hate Trump. and I'm going to say this just once. if Trump is elected president then he is your president not my. and i reject any kind of authority someone so stupid and so narcissistic may think they have.
One can always depend on Americans to draw diagnoses and conclusions on what their CNNs or whatever other garbage source tell them ... I was genuinely embarrassed for the good doctor there. Seems as he had not even bothered to listen or understand what Putin says and how. Russians and sane Ukrainians respect Putin because he is the complete opposite to what was said. He is soft spoken, warm, overly tolerant and extremely modest person. As to Ukraine situation, you Americans should ask your own government and question their policies. They are the reason we have a war in Ukraine
@@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.
Me and my family have been hiding from bombs in Kyiv, and this world attention is so uplifting and therapeutic. Thank you.
Stay safe and strong...I can get in your shoes, we are in a constant fear of invasion in my country too, but I'm sure you will go through this...freedom is the only way!
May the universe keep you and your family safe , your war is our war Putin brought death to Europe and i am sure that he already lost . He lost his humanity and sanity a while ago . Regards from scandinavia .
I hope you stay safe. It's amazing how many nations have stepped up to support you. Still, we know you are the ones fighting. hugs from Iowa, USA
Keep up to date with current escalating situations via Twitter. I hope you and your family stay safe. My heart goes out to all Ukrainians 🇺🇦
We all stand there with you. Slava Ukraine!! You are brave beautiful nation-
I watch you from Belarus, what's happening is heartbreaking and we're being involved against our wills... Thanks for bringing this up on an English-speaking channel!!
God bless you ❤️
Prayers for you and all the people of your country!
Alena, yes, you unfortunately have a similar kind of leader. Bless you.💖
Careful what you post
Bielarusian people are so cool! I met a lot of your people couse they were coming to do shopping to Poland and i am living close to the border. Łukaszenko is such a clown, he falsified his elections and now he is making his nation face the consequences of his actions. He said that Bielarus will stand with Russia, I think he meant that he would stand with Putin 🤦 i feel like everyone, including russian army, is suffering becouse of one man
Wow! 1 million subs ? I remember following you when you were at 200k! Incredible . Totally deserved. Love your videos . Always stick to the facts and your learnings - don’t ever change
This is THE BEST character psychoanalysis I've ever heard. Multi-layer perfection. A work of art!
Dr. Grande, thank you for making this video. I was born in Moscow right on the day after Putin officially came to power almost 22 years ago. I am Russian and I stand with Ukraine with all of my heart. Today has been a nightmare that we hoped would never come true.
I would also like to add that Putin's propaganda seems to be more focused on the idea of Russian Empire rather than Soviet Union - with former being seen as good old glorious days and latter as more of a failure of communism
Bless you and stay safe!! 🤗✌️
There is a well-known Russian TH-camr who is in a state of torment over this. I follow him and feel so sorry for him and others, like you, who are against this tragedy.💔
That makes you a traitor.
I feel bad for you couse you are suffering couse of him too and he just doesn't care. He also send to death young boys to fight, one of the captured soliders was born in 2002 🤯 i don't know if they are telling the truth that they didn't know that they where going to war but even if they did, they didn't have a choice. They are certainly scared like hell which is heartbreaking. They are someones sons, they where supposed to have fun like other young people not to die for some white creep 😬
Something that I've heard a few times now is that the KGB almost didn't allow Putin to become an agent because they described him as "having a lower than average sense of danger" They thought he couldn't accurately asses how much danger he was actually in during any given situation. This makes a lot of what he's doing right now make sense to me.
Now that has very scary implications in guessing what he might do next.
Psychopaths have a muchs lesser stress level to dangerous situations -- In some program they studiet psychopaths and for instance when lifted to bengi jump
psychopaths where muchs less stressed about danger . Male or female did not matter . He might be a psychopath or some form of autism could mayby also lead
to similar behaviour . they just don´t feel the stress similar to normal people . it can be that it was not that he had lower then average sense of danger , but that he just isin´t that stressed in a dangerous situation. ,basically same but ---
They should have let him run dangerous missions would have saved a lot of folks a lot of grief.
Lower than average height too- that may explain a thing or two about his personality as well.
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 feel like you need to update this after images of him sitting at long tables paranoid of even his own military generals and defense ministers, and his recent threats of nuclear war.
He may be on steroids/corticosteroids for health reasons which make him extremely susceptible to covid, hence the long tables. His face has looked very puffy lately which is a symptom of steroid use.
@@valeriemcknight5608 I also noticed that puffiness when he was shown on tv speaking, and was wondering about that.
Just don’t ask he to pass the salt 🧂
Putin is paranoid AF.
I think the puffiness could also be due to cosmetic surgery and/or fillers. Putin is 69 yrs old while his Olympian girlfriend, by whom he's had 5 children since dumping his wife, is only 38.
I'm from Russia. I would say mostly older generation supports Putin, younger generation either don't support him or are neutral. Either way, he has to go. Love and peace to Ukraine. Нет войне!!
Older generation supports Putin, you say? We don't like the boomers here in America either. Clueless people who went to college and bought their first house in the '80s when everything was cheap and most of them act like time travelers from that era. So they're surprised at the fact that millennials have student loan debt and struggle with their mortgage payments.
It's time to being neutral no more
@@hanzouwu I agree! We've been protesting, but, unfortunately, a lot of people are feeling burnt out. Sometimes, it seems like there's no hope.
Sorry if it's kinda random, but we've been quite cut off from the world. What people think of Russia now? Russian people? Do people know about protests?
@@svetapakulina9240 We know about the protest but that are quickly dismantled, and most people think good about Russian people, what people on the west (In my case, Latin America) are divided in the opinion about Russian government, some condemn their actions since 2014, and others support them, calling Ukrainians Nazi devils not ironically. Mostly those Putin-positive are right wing conservatives and far left USSR nostalgics, or just people who always bring USA to the topic, and since they hate USA, they support Putin
thank you for speaking out. slava Ukraine
You should do a Dictator series. Stalin, King Leopold II, El Duce, Pinochet etc.... That would be so interesting.
Admiral General Aladeeeeen
Add Justin Castro to the list
He already did as per psychopaths' and narcissist's.
@@sandrapisarski6597 how about you go back to Israel if you dont like America
Mao zedong, Xi jinping, I could produce materials, unfortunately, lots of people can not say or see how worse could be if people would believe the extreme left narcissists' fancy bullshit.
Maybe I lost track, but I think "murderer" was left out of the descriptives assigned him by others. An all around despicable man. Very early in his rule, the nuclear sub Kursk exploded and was trapped under the Barents Sea for days with a few men still alive. He refused all foreign help. When he finally accepted a rescue diving team from the UK and Norway, it was too late. His hit-team's penchant for poisoning is particularly sadistic, but shooting and throwing out windows also comes in handy.
Why would they have needed divers from the uk and Norway?
I remember this, it was horrible
@@sk8ermGs Because there was no proper training or equipment in the Russian navy for that kind of rescue. It was just old Soviet stuff that didn't work for the more advanced sub. It's a fascinating story and there are some documentaries about it on TH-cam.
Thanks for reminding people that he's been a monster since Day One
You likely saw the WMD too. Very naive shit.
my thoughts and prayers to all of the Ukrainians, the west is in solidarity and Putin's mad tyranny will be stopped. Excellent analysis and video Dr. Grande!
Analysis..😂. Have you ever watched and listen to Putin talk? He is the complete opposite of what was described. In fact, he is criticized in Russia for being too soft.
Watching from the UK, Dr. Grande. I love your show,. keep up the good work. 😊
The way you said, “He’s 100 percent manly” was so funny! Thank you 🙏🏼
I was reading this just as the line came up 🤣🤣
Dr. Grande's sense of humor is so subdued but never disappoints 👍
I pissed myself laughing when I heard that XD It's all in the delivery...
100% manly. Bite your tongue. He is 110% manly . 😂
Yes, Putin is full of contradictions !
“He seems to have trouble keeping his shirt on” 😆😆😆 Dr Grande, your sarcasm is priceless!
Yes, i deliberately didn't look at the photos of Putin strutting his stuff. I couldn't face seeing that shirtless horse riding again.
🤣🤣
Dr Grande I love ur humour. Thank you for this great channel ❤️
Thank you Dr. Grande always learning a lot from your videos, they are so informative.
I loved the jokes about judo and McConaughey and I especially love the poker face as you tell them. Thanks for the giggle.
Exactly. I needed that little bit of salty humor I guess one would call it.
It seems he likes pony trekking. That's manly.
Well, I don't know if it is so laughable. Many men walk around without a shirt and many women/men are attracted by that. He knows that it works for some. He also wants to show that a president can be sporty and fit and not fat and unhealthy like most of politicians in the world. Most of this propaganda is funny but all politicians do it to have a better image. Some show themselves with their families or going shopping like "normal ppl". I think this fit perfectly to his agenda and the picture he wants his folk to have of him. So why not do it.
@@alasanoei When he goes trekking in the woods, does he take his gold toilet with him? This man's a thermo-narcissist explosion.
Don’t worry about Putins threats about using any kind of atomic type device, only thing he’ll be launching is a fart.
The limitations of Judo when taking down a Siberian Tiger. I got a laugh out of that. Touche..
“It’s sometimes awkward to get the plants to play nice in the shopping cart!!!!!!” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 you’re so funny Dr. G. You have a terrific show. I really like to hear your insight on the video’s topic! I’m so glad we can go back and watch videos years ago. Great channel!!!!
Great video! Dr. Grande upping his cactus game 😘
Why again for such high government positions “ psychiatric assestments “ aren’t mandatory ?!?!
Your videos are highly appreciated and serve the community
Thanks for sharing Dr . Very glad your channel has gained all well deserved audience ! Blessings 🙏🏻
Yeah I agree but some countries are living in a bubble and thats why it even exists, money is important in these countries but this will barescrape the russian economy in years to come so what he promised to give people will not happen, rip...
Personality disorder testing - definitely.
Narcopathic resistance is the reason. At all levels Club Narcissist is the Leaderless Resistance that helps these nonces prevail. These Bell Ends fight tooth and nail for the privilege they are granted by society
"Why again for such high government positions “ psychiatric assestments “ aren’t mandatory ?!?! "
You might as well ask "why don't we just do away with corruption?"
First off, who makes the test?
How do you pitch the idea and get enough people on board?
How do you prevent the tests from being used frivolously to prevent level-headed candidates from entering politics?
What do you do about the politicians who have a huge following of supporters?
Who assesses the results of these tests?
These are all practically impossible to answer without creating a rabbit-hole of new questions. Evil can't be stopped. It can only be kept at bay by quality people in a society coming together.
@@buckaroobonzai2909 I get your drift. Club Narcissist members then twist things to enable them. We are up against a club of personality disordered individuals at all levels who despise the idea of a fair minded authentic society and impose their twisted evil one on others
I am so heartbroken and scared for the people of Ukraine. _What century are we living in!?_
How is this still happening 💔
Greed. And as far as human nature goes, the more things seem to change, the more they stay the same. Oi
I feel the same way, Bianca. I can't stop thinking of the mothers and children, especially.
Where were all you people when the WMD lie was promoted? Where were you when the US illegally started wars in Iraq and Afghanistan? Or when Libya was destroyed. Anyone who believes the MSM and western governments is a fool.
I have been feeling the same! In this 21st century times it's time to ditch old world barbaric landing grabbing. The people of Ukraine were sick of it and that's why they declared independence despite the decades of being part of the USSR and as we have seen with the protests of Russian civilians they don't want to be going back down that abyss either.
@@melvynobrien6193 So, what are you saying? That this, TOO, is the fault of America? If so, geez! Get real
Thank you so much! That was phenomenal 👏
I watch this six days ago & I just finished watching this again tonight. Dr. Grande you’re incredible.
Not only have you critiqued the human from uprising, until his upcoming demise, you filled in the blanks.
So, there is no appealing to his sense of dignity or compassion? you’re saying he only understands force.
Are we going to be OK Dr. Grande?
The fact that Putin was a career KGB agent and later headed the FSB is a valuable piece of information when looking at this question. Being cool under pressure (i.e low neuroticism), as well knowing how to manipulate and deceive others are invaluable traits to anyone working in espionage/intelligence. So one would expect these traits to have greater representation among people in these occupations.
I'm pretty sure he was la lawyer while working for the KGB.
Not a cloak and dagger agent.
@@markbryant4641 I thought I heard he interrogated people, (which usually involves manipulation) but I may be wrong.
@@badgerstatebard320 yeah, right. I haven't read a biography on him, but someone will see these comments of your's and mine and will set us straight.
I very much trust the person I heard who said that this was the case.
He seems very knowledgeable and isn't anti Russia, or anti Putin.
He's not Russian either.
But, no. I haven't actually looked myself to find out.
@@badgerstatebard320 He was dispatched in East Germany, where he was under the training of east German dictator Erick Honecker.
Young Putin admired Erick Honeckern for his deminor,his attitude and political tactics. This is why Putin speak German so well. This is where he made his training,not Russia.
If you look at a picture of Erick Honecker in the 80s, you got Putin in 2022.
You forgot to mention he was one of Klaus Schwab’s young leader member of the world economic forum, WEF, along with Merkel, Trudeau and Macron.
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.
there's MUCH more to putin's rise to power than that, and much of it is highly suspicious. there is plenty of reason to suppose that putin did some ruthless strong-arming behind the scenes in order to maneuver himself into power.. people interested in details can start with a googling of the apartment building bombing of sep 9, 1999
As a beurocrat he also made millions taking government money. He was suppose to solve provision crisis that St.Petersburg was having in the early 90-s. But instead took all the money entrusted in him through the web of corruption schemes.
Also the Yeltsin family embezzled millions from the rebuilding fund when the Kremlin was being renovated. Putin assured Yeltsin that none if his family members would be prosecuted.
@@peabody3000 not only that. In Finland( on the boarder) they knew Yeltsin was a continuously drunk, it was easy for Putin to use him as he has used most of the people around him.
Dr Grande also said Putin doesnt appear to be that intelligent.....I think hes a pretty clever man from watching him all these years
Thank you for that analysis
Thank you God Bless You❤️
"I'm just speculating about what could be happening in a situation like this."

Thank you! ❤️
And dangerous times
Hi Rejane! Are you Brazilian?
@@UlisesHeureaux Yes, I am. Are you?
@@rejaneoliveira5019 in everything except name lol. I’m American but I am really into Brazil.
@@rejaneoliveira5019 Do you feel that the Ukraine crisis will affect Brazil, too?
Excellent observations! Very insightful and well presented too. Thank you for making this at a time where most people have no insight as to what makes “a Putin”. I began reading a book the week before the invasion happened. It was written by Anna Politkovskaya. She is /was …not only the author, but the special correspondence for the Russian newspaper ‘Novaya gazeta’. It was published in 2004 by The Harvill press.
So far, It “doesn’t pull its punches!” with regard to the authors disdain which you can actually feel ebbing throughout the pages! Very interesting though!
Enjoyed that thank you.
Really enjoyed this one. My husband who is a political scientist with a focus on international affairs said you have Putin pretty well pegged. He teaches at American University. Thanks Dr. Grande we appreciate all your videos.
A university? Lol
"American University."
_Hmm, something ain't right about this one, Comrade!_
Literal russian bot lol
There is an 'American University" in Washington DC,
Moose and squirrel approve!
I've wondered about Putin for a few years now. Some of the things he has done has made me wonder if his end game is not to restore Soviet Russia, but restore Czar Russia, with him as the new Czar. I have long thought he was a very dangerous man.
It is interesting that you mention that particular issue. I remember seeing an article years ago where he had this big public ceremony to remember the last Czar, Nicholas II, and his family. I might be wrong as it was some time ago. It is quite contrary to what you would think of for a communist, obviously.
Margee -- I agree with your thoughts. Vladimir Putin is an open admirer of Peter the Great, a power hungry and cruel Russian Czar that greatly expanded Russian borders, influence, and its economy. Peter the Great started the Great Northern War on February 22, 1700. It don't think it's a mere coincidence that Putin started the invasion of the Ukraine on February 22, 2022.
Agree!
@@norwoodbuilder7529
Interesting!
He has made a model for his follower Xi Jinping, maybe others from latin America to recover their communistic dream which has failed 30 years ago. Xi Jinping would follow his path to open fire between pacific ocean countries, if Putin would succeed finally. Let us see.
Love your videos!! You always make me laugh also! 😃
Thank you.
Shared.
Refreshing to hear Dr Grande address Putin's traits. Machiavellianism seems undeniable. He doesn't seem to have the unhinged madness of the likes of Hitler but he's got a cold calculation about him, nonetheless.
Underrated comment.
He is psychopath, where Hitler is sociopathic. Also don't forget Hitler was buzzing on amphetamines...that is definitely making you impulsive and paranoid as hell.
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.
@@jamiejay5617 that keeps his legacy alive long after he's gone. That's why they do it to get in the books
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.
He reminds me of a former boyfriend that I needed to leave. Any circumstance that put him in a position of power can only produce instability for anyone choosing to follow. Leaving was a necessity for my well-being, I had to make it seem like he was leaving me. Maintaining distant but friendly relations keeps me safe, hopefully.
Bullies often fall to traps of their own making. God speed to the Ukrainian people.
Maybe you were a dramatic nightmare
Good comment. I'm watching "Bad Vegan" on Netflix, similar dynamic.
@@christopherevans6428 concern for my safety is real, all 4 of his ex wives would agree. Drama and aggression are subjective but consistent verifiable behavior is hard to argue with.
I’m ready for this analysis.
Well done!
The key is to avoid having people like Putin ascend to power - especially unchecked power - which is why strong democratic institutions are so important.
Even so, look at the psicopathic leader that have reached to the power in my dear Spain.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
The key is to not to put another regime next to another state. That's why America has the Munroe law !
Anyone can bring a Putin to power. No matter how well-educated, peaceful, or strongly democratic a populace is..
May the solution lie in different way to chose political leadership and eventually get rid of leaders.
Electing a leader on charism is as bad as starting intimacy on only physical attraction, it feels good in short term but the consequences may be unexpected.
"Putin's apparent difficulty in keeping his shirt on..." 😁
well soon it will be difficult for him to button his shirt as the illness progresses but hell he can still send troops to kill a bunch of innocent people and do major destruction.
Awesome presentation! 👍🏻😃🙏🏻
In that interview I saw in which Masha wrote a book about him , she also described him as being Extreme in his greed . Which explains his need to conquer and also possess many countries
In Stalin’s Russia in the 30s, he also had a high approval ratting - even if many of the approver’s friends, families and colleagues were accused of crimes, and executed or sent to concentration camps without trial. When the walls have ears, you always approve of someone who may be your executioner if you don’t get on board with his values.
Winston finally learned to love Big Brother.
Putin already had a high approval rating back then? So he was like Jesus. People waited just 70 years to manifest him. That's a true miracle.
How come you missed all the BS about Crimea, Donetsk n Luhansk. Look it up. It only takes 15 mins max for all 3 to determine that this Dr is repeating what he hears in the media and does no fact checks whatsoever. Credibility? Questionable at best
@@teresaolszanka112 But if a false picture is being painted in the media, how is one to check in 15 mins max? Where should we look for the real picture? ie which media is false and which is true, and how do we know which is which?
@@jascu4251
I calculated 5 mins to find and quickly read the info on each: Crimea, Donbas/Donetsk. That's how long it took me to find the basics. I knew the general history of the area and I knew that it was all Russia so for me it was just to look up and verify finer details and make sure my memory is correct. I had the year of Crimea being "gifted" to Ukraine off by 3 years. I remembered 1956 when in fact it happened in 1953. I remember it was when Khrushchev was the head of the Union. And was correct in this instance..
You use the internet, I take it. Just type into the browser Donbas, for example and it will bring up the info from more than one source. To determine that all three Crimea, Donetsk and Luhansk were on the Russian Empire territory, then in the Soviet Union territory takes 5 mins each. If you want more detail then it will take longer.
I've dug up a very interesting fact that the first line of Russian royalty, the Danilovitch dynasty is of Viking descent. The name Russia is derived from Rus - a term applied to the Vikings in the east of Europe (East of Poland)
@@teresaolszanka112 I thought Kruschev gave Crimea to Ukraine in 1954 not 1953, so I was closer but also slightly out by the looks of it
I generally use wikipedia for factual stuff, though I understand Putinites generally frown upon that as a source
I agree, and I had some conversations with friends and family in the past whereby I named these traits in Putin. I was not surprised that people were reluctant to agree, which unfortunately is why, I believe, that unfortunate Ukrainians had not evacuated sooner. Also, I am inclined to remember the line in the literature that says, "take note of what the narcissist accuses you of, because it will give you a very good idea of what he is planning." Thank you once again Dr Grande...
Narcissists are always projecting. Putin has been calling the Ukrainian government Nazis (the President is Jewish). It tells you enough about his own view of the world.
😮 that last line is interesting and have so much sense
This is SO true. They project and accuse in advance to create cover for what they’re planning to do. This way when they get called out they’ve already muddied the waters so it sounds like a “both sides” issue when they’re the real perpetrator. Pure gaslighting.
Perfect 👍
@@fighterflight THey do this also because they fear other people are just like them.
Thank you, Dr Grande!
I just want to say to the people of Ukraine that we see you, we hear you, we feel you and we support you! Stay strong!
the title was on point, you literally described what everybody wants to know...
It was stated that when Putin was in KGB training they noticed a character flaw which was that he did not know danger. When other people can recognize a dangerous situation he did not. FYI
It is also been stated that he is extremely secretive. Very smart and determined, planning and scheming. Wondering if he has an adult Napoleon complex because of his small stature but he keeps himself very fit.
Source?? If none this is gossip
@@mau345 Frontline it's on TH-cam
Short men in power are the most dangerous. It's all about their height complex.
@@mau345 it's true... Watch there's a video about him in wion
Sounds like psychopathy
Will be interested to see this, thank you for the upload, Dr. Grande! 💜
Great analysis!
Excellent analysis

A gun is an argument if you haven't got one. Ayn Rand is pretty overrated..especially by feminists.
@@Tara-zq3il Am I a feminist? How can you know that if you haven’t even seen me? A very poor argument…

Sorry but that Russian woman was crazy!
Only a psychopath would callously inflict so much suffering on a populace solely to feed his own ego.
Oh,! I agree!!!....Exactly like George H.W. Bush!
putin is a psyhcopath I dont agree with what he doing but he since like traditional emperors of russia like catherine the great he a traditonal russian imperlaist tyying to create empire russia always had corruption he dictator but deciosn makes in sense in russia polticla system people who try to reform frequently killed kings were looking at context born in 1950 soviet empire under communism!
You are a propaganda victim
Long live Mr Putin.
He does it for his country
I have self diagnosed anxiety/a problem too much stimuli. Listening to Dr. Grande all day while I work, do dishes, etc is awesome! I keep ear buds in so its not so loud around me.
I do the same thing
Women shouldn’t have opinions.

@@dqreps You’re right, I value and respect your male opinion, King.
Dr Grande, I appreciate your honest and straightforward commentary about current political and cultural events. It shows you care about what your audience is experiencing in their lives.
You're funny, but it's time to get real. You don't know him, yet you're here blithering like you're certain about your good-side presuppositions about Grande. Do you even know what does that say about you? Your comment suggests you do not.

Good analysis Dr Grande. I would agree with you on his personality traits.
Good topic👍🏼
Don't most world leaders exhibit dark triad traits?
A book on the fact that most people are the top are narcissistic psychopaths...was aired on Bob Edwards Sunday..
I'd say based on who I've met
Most very rich are narcissistic psychopaths
Sorry I'm so old that the title escapes me
Not necessarily. But probably most are at least *just* shy of meeting the criteria. A lot of surgeons do, too. I can't imagine your average person wanting that kind of job.
@@frumtheground of course a "good world leader" has to take empathy out of situations and only look at the details.
Not Joe Biden, he's asleep at the wheel!
@@mgmassey174 it would be interesting to know if that is the case. Also how strong their traits are and are there many exceptions.
This was the best analysis I've seen you share. It was incisive... I always like your videos, and maybe its because of the importance, in my view, of understanding Putin/having a clear, unemotional and direct delivery, but I appreciated it very much. Thank you for your continued work and sharing your professional opinion.
Patrick: I would like to second your comment....................................................................
Thanks for showing concern and respect for the people of Ukraine by choosing this moment for your careful analysis which provides insight into current events. Sending my wishes for love and support to the brave people of Ukraine. ✡David
Thanks. Learned much.
A very dangerous man indeed. There's absolutely no chance his aggression is going to stop with the Ukraine either; Latvia and Estonia should be just as concerned - they're almost certain to be next. Poland and Finland should probably start preparing as well; no telling where or if this is going to stop. He's a menace to the entire region.
I am kinda afraid (Poland) but on the other hand would he start war with NATO? I don't know, couple days ago i belived that he is not that stupid but now i think he went crazy so everything is possible...
It won't go that far I don't think ..Putin is having a hard time, it's not going well ..he shut down twitter in Russia because it's bad enough he wants to stop the flow of information ..he's dealing with protest so it's not going well politically or economically ..Ukraine is taking advantage of his poor planning and strategies, he's not a smart man.. it doesn't mean Russia will lose but it's not hopeless
What kind of a man invades Poland?
@@verbalkint1770 There was a lunatic who did just that. His name was Hitler.
@@agdam0004 I think his own Generals will sooner or later take charge of the situation ! they know he can’t possibly use atomic weapons. I really think the head of Russian military will take stock of the situation and have him removed.
I heard something I thought was interesting. One commentator mentioned that Putin was viewed as being "somewhat" unfit for the KGB because he had a reckless disregard for danger. The KGB viewed it as so extreme that it was a negative. I understand this is an element of narcissism.
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.
I saw the same thing on CNN yesterday.
Great video👍
You are the best professor of statistics .. I learn a lot about your statistics videos.
Dr. Grande, I really enjoy your analysis and your sense of humor.
Dr. Grande, thanks so much for your continuing efforts to keep us informed about what might be happening in a situation like this. Your analysis is always more illuminating than the mainstream media! It's a bonus that your monotone delivery is very soothing to those of us with anxiety disorders. Doc, you're way better than Buspar ❣️
Spot on and his sense of one mind . Not capable of alternative perspectives . Obsessed with grandiose legacy and a fixation on being compared with previous Russian leaders.
Dr. Grande, I have been listening to your presentations for years and like your new mike arrangement. However, I think if you arrange the mike to a lower position coming up from the desk height your presentation appearance would have a greater impact.
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. 👍❤
I am grateful for this analysis, Dr Grande. I come back to your channel whenever I need guidance regarding the psychological nature of individuals who appear in popular culture.
He's officially going down in history with a placement on lists about historical leaders who lost their marbles.
Very good analysis!😳😳😳
Keeping up w Grande! Wow. It’s nice to watch yet another Grande report today, especially this topic, bc I’m not following this in the news. But, with Grande explaining, I’ll watch.
Hey kitty! No tanks ok?
Thank you so much for doing this dr. G! Everything you said, in my opinion, is spot on.
Spot on, fear of losing power.
Center of attraction, or blood
Dr. Grande is brilliant
Matthew McConaughey definitely did have an issue keeping his shirt on for quite some time.
However, when Putin is afflicted with it, it’s used as propaganda for the public whereas when McConaughey did it, it was more like a public service. 😏
Totally agree. Putin sitting on horse shirtless, sucking in his flabby septuagenarian belly is disgusting. 🤢 Yet, also hilarious at the same time! 🤣
@@LDiamondz Putin has to overcompensate for his " short man syndrome".
Trudeau does that shit too, ridiculous
@@susankeith326 I agree, but maybe Putin thinks he is the greater, better looking Russian McConaughey! He's definitely seeing something different when he looks in the mirror than we see. 🙄
@@rockyevans1584 Interesting. I haven seen Trudeau pose like that. He must look a little better than Putin. I hope.
He is not "stone cold", he easily cooks off, when encountering unpleasant opinions.
There is nothing analytical about him, many call him short-sighted, "tactician, not a strategist", unable to think ahead, sometimes even plain stupid.
And he has insanely strong fears of his short stature being noticed, thus he is widely believed to wear specially designed shoes with internal high heels, and he obviously uses special seats, to look higher at least when sitting.
He's always depicted as looking stoic in anything public. It's pretty evident it's a ruse to appear "tough".
And you believed in the WMD story too, I'm sure.
@@melvynobrien6193 What's that?
I speak Russian fluently, as I do so on daily basis, if you mean Putin, he has indeed given not just hints, but pretty direct threats of using nuclear weapons, if anyone actively involves on Ukrainian side.
Yep, even with the possible rigged shoes he and Medvedev who is 5'4" stand at equal height to each other. Do we possibly have the dwarfs from J.R.R. Tolkiens "The Hobbit" attempting to recapture their Lonely Mountain?
@@lc1695 Well, 5'4" in -inferiour- imperial units (162-163cm) is not that insanely small - only a centimetre or two shorter than my wife.
Real problems start when Putin is next to someone tall, like Alexander Lukashenko, that was exactly one of those occasions, when Putin panicked - Lukashenko almost took his special seat, which would make Kremlin's halflng look even shorter.
Spot on analysis in my opinion
Very good analysis.
Dr. Grande, have you considered doing an analysis of HUGH HEFNER? 🤔 I'd be interested in your learned opinion on a man who has so much baggage to unpack
Really good idea!!!!
Ego, narcissistic ,superior
Hmmm, interesting idea! Somewhere, I read that he had a secret boyfriend.
I think Howard Hughes had this dark triad. Probably not Hef though. He's a narcissist, but not psychopathic that I know about.
@@SolSkinn has he ever been accused of being a psychopath?
Evening Dr. G., your work ethic is incredible. Thank you for featuring an intriguing shady world leader. Get some rest!
An analysis of Kim Jong Un of North Korea would be interesting.
Brilliant insight
Excellent job again, I subscribed!!! I recommend people subscribe! What a brilliant look inside Putin, and you did it in a short clip because us general public look for videos that don't devote more than a half hour and when we see 15 minutes we're all in. Thank you 💞
As a person living in Russia I just hope he will not start a war
AMEN 😬😩😔
well.... that hope was dashed in about 2-3 hours after posting :(
He's bombing more areas of the Ukraine right now.
Stay safe as possible.
Wow this aged well
A man obsessed with his own masculinity and who often exudes macho images through photo opps could be a sign of insecurity and weakness. Putin ranks high on this showmanship. He is constantly reassuring himself that he is alpha male, although deep within, he is not even beta.
A true Narcissist!!!
Naked from the waist up, especially with an imaginary 6-pack, makes a narcissist a laughing stock!
Wasn't putin about the age range for male menopause the macho image period? He could have done it (pix) bcos that's also around the time he had the child with his very young new woman. But hey. His biz. I got a kick out of that talk of Dr. Grande's. Kept nodding my head n chuckling. Most timely and apparently excellent for foreign viewers. Blessings.
@@lorinapetranova2607 Yes, a new father will have pictures of him shooting, hunting, half naked for a family photo album, not for the whole world to exhibit. Putin is a freaking narcissist.
@@brihmendiola4347 what I was getting at is the way some men think they have to flaunt testosterone accomplishments so to speak. Yeah, a narcissist. A lot of dictators are.
Thank you!
Dear Dr Todd Grande, thanks for your presentation. Would you like to expand your psychological profile analysis to that of other present-day political figures and leaders? Monsieur Macron, for instance, is a very peculiar character. Also Mr Joe Biden, Mr Boris Johnson and Mr Trudeau are quite interesting case-study too, in my opinion anyway. Best Wishes, Mauro
Yes! Please so this 👆
Emmanuel Macron has ALL the characteristics of the Antichrist per the Holy Bible. Just sayin'.
Good idea, Mauro.
Great topic. Very timely. Thanks, Dr Grande.
You're spot-on and I love to hear you analyze!
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 .
So all short men are psychopaths?.what a rambling pile of nonsence
Ppl that knew him as a kid say his parents were devoted to him, he was perhaps somewhat spoiled in some ways, but he was not neglected.
@@richardlawson6787 that is not what I said . But is what you got from it . I said there are a few reasons I can see in his personality that he is a dangerous man . And indeed he is . That is my deduction , that for the reasons I listed he is a dangerous impulsive man . Bullying a child imo for his size or his weight or any reason can make them extremely sensitive in that area . His parents maybe spoiled him then to make up for it too . You have focused on only one thing I said. And that is not the only thing I said . A short small boy can suffer as a child with bullying. The way a child reacts to that abuse is key here . It appears Putin likes to show off how great he is physically as well as mentally . He wants to overcompensate it appears to me .
@@richardlawson6787 this is the interview I watched , The Putin Files , Masha Gessen
