Let Putin Go Mad

[Donkees]

In the early days of the Ukrainian-Russian war, we spoke with psychiatrist Roman Kechur, president of the Ukrainian Confederation of Psychoanalytic Psychotherapies, about Putin’s mental state and what to expect from a mad dictator. The material received great publicity, was reprinted on Internet resources in English, Polish, French, and German. Three weeks later, we decided to continue the conversation in order to understand what threats Putin poses after the failure of his blitzkrieg and how to mitigate those threats.

Excerpts:

We must get rid of any illusions: even if a psychopath is calmed, he will never become human.

Western politicians are trying not to escalate, because they believe that when he goes crazy, he will press the red button. And this is the main mistake. For the button to work, Putin’s nuclear order must be carried out by a number of executors. They will obey the order of the psychopath because they are afraid of him, but they will not obey the order of the madman, because they will be less afraid of him than of the consequences of his madness.

– Putin operates on two levels. One level is psychopathic or sociopathic. He is such a cool macho, a St. Petersburg’s cool guy, a kagebist who “beat everyone,” an antisocial person who is guided by the desire to control everyone. He is vicious, ruthless, but not crazy. But when anxiety escalates, when stress builds up, he finds himself in a completely different state – he falls into paranoia, a direct path to madness. And this is the most important thing.

We do not take into account one circumstance. Putin’s closest environment is watching him, too. And believe me, they are even more worried than Western analysts.

– What gives you such confidence?

If he communicates with subordinates at a five-meter table, if he made his chef a billionaire, if he lives in a bunker, if he requires a two-week quarantine before visitors can see him – it cannot help but raise alarms for people who do not live in a bunker, who realistically assess the danger of the virus, and who are not afraid to eat in a restaurant. I assure you that as soon as he falls into psychosis and in this state gives the command to press the “nuclear button” – at that moment no one will execute it. Because he will demonstrate obvious signs of madness.

Putin is under suspicion. His mental health is in question. His environment is also afraid of this. And this is sort of a safeguard.

1. This is why Biden is pushing all of Putin's buttons. Zelensky too.

Biden and Zelensky seem to be working together on this.

Humiliating Putin, making him paranoid, etc.

If Putin gets crazy enough, his inner circle will take him out.

2. This all makes sense except if it is wrong and Putin gives the order to go nuclear and people ....

... carry out that order. Hopefully the Russian people will rise up in mass against Putin, somebody or a group
of somebodies kills his ass, and super rich Russians who have benefited from Putin's corruption realize his
staying in power is costing them their fortunes,
