Episode 3817: WHAT MAKES 'PUTIN-THE-TERRORIST' TICK?

Though talking heads, who are wannabe psychotherapists, 

pretend that they can tell what’s inside Putin’s head, and 

spout off theories from ‘Roid Rage’ to Rampant Cancer, all

of their theories are too simplistic. Vladimir Putin is a 

complicated man, so there is no one ‘diagnosis’ that can 

explain who he is and why he’s behaving like a seeming 

‘madman’. In today’s podcast, you will hear about the 

many psychodynamic, psychiatric and physical 

components of the kaleidoscope of problems that make

Putin tick. 

First of all, in order to understand anyone, we have to 

look at the traumas they experienced in their childhood. 

Vladimir’s childhood in post-war Leningrad left indelible 

imprints on his psyche - from war-torn parents who

weren’t able to express warmth and love, to schoolyard 

bullies to poverty and rats… Vladimir’s childhood made

him feel threatened on all sides. 

You will hear how his childhood made him promise 

himself never to be vulnerable again, and caused him 

to develop a Paranoid Personality Disorder. You will 

also hear about his psychodynamics, that is, how his 

personality causes him to interact with the world. These 

concepts include: castration anxiety, identification with 

the aggressor and self-loathing for any hints of 

weakness. 

On top of this, you’ll hear why he is being forced to 

confront his mortality more than ever, and how this is 

affecting his plans to restore the USSR. There are 

also rumors about various physical illnesses that he 

may have from Covid19 to cancer, and more. Steroids 

are controversial for cancer, but he may have been 

taking them for another reason and this could cause 

not just ‘rage’ but a more important problem….
