"Well, here's what French President Emmanuel Macron said recently about Putin, and it was reported in the Wall Street Journal," host Witt prompted. "That 'Mr. Macron noticed a change in Mr. Putin's demeanor when speaking to him on the phone over the course of the pandemic. He tended to talk in circles, rewriting history, a close aide to Mr. Macron said. if you look at the video of Putin talking to leaders across those long tables.' What does all this suggest to you, the level of isolation that he has endured due to his paranoia about Covid? "

"I completely agree with that," Walder replied. "That is one thing that I have noticed lately, even -- and I know this sounds superficial -- but if you really just look at pictures of him, which I tend to do quite a bit, the shape of his face has even changed. He looks different, he speaks differently, and he's crossed over to what I think I consider to be almost the dark side of history."

"Look, Putin was never a friend, if you will, but most of the things that he was doing was really sort of cyber, psychological operations, those kinds of things," she added. "Now he's really crossed over sort of that red line into, you know, this full military warfare, but then part of me wonders if we should be this surprised."

7. High dose corticosteroids to treat any number of inflammatory, autoimmune, cancer,

and certain endocrine or neurological conditions. While high dose corticosteroids can cause personality changes, mood swings (mania, depression & rarely psychosis), memory changes, weight gain, and the swelling of face and limbs that is commonly called "moonface," these effects are different than anabolic steroids and the "notorious so-called roid rage."

Still, high dose corticosteroid treatment for any number of possible conditions, does fit.

8. This is exactly what I've been thinking

I even posted about it last night.

In my experience, corticosteroids can definitely cause "roid rage" that's nearly as bad as that caused by anabolic ones.

To be honest, if I were a betting person I'd put big money on corticosteroids being the ultimate cause of this Ukrainian invasion. But we'll probably never know.
