The US Pentagon conducted a study which has declared that Russian President Vladimir Putin suffers from Asperger’s syndrome. A 2008 report describes Asperger’s syndrome as “an autistic disorder which affects all of his decisions.”
The report cited Dr. Stephen Porges as concluding that “Putin carries a form of autism.” But he plays cautious and so “would back off saying he has Asperger’s” because he has never seen the finished report. He doesn’t hesitate, however, to recommend how to handle Putin. Studying of Putin’s facial expressions made Porges to reach the following decision:
“If you need to do things with him, you don’t want to be in a big state affair but more of one-on-one situation someplace somewhere quiet.”
Because large social gatherings are beyond his capability and he can lose his self control easily.
But what is the guarantee that Putin is not going to strangle President Barack Obama or British Prime Minister David Cameron or other West European leader in a one-on-one meeting?
Russia being a big country, it is not possible for US to invade and put Putin in shackles and throw him in a US prison as it did with Panama’s Manuel Noriega. So two of the many other methods to create chaos and difficulties for Putin government currently being employed by the US are: propaganda and economic embargo.
Brenda Connors who has an expertise in “movement pattern analysis,” says:
“[Putin’s] neurological development was significantly interrupted during infancy.” “The Russian President carries a neurological abnormality.”
Connors and her colleagues work as private contractors for Pentagon’s think tank named Office of Net Assessment (ONA). Of course, big money, hundreds of thousands of dollars, is involved in declaring foreign leader a dangerous person. The name of the program was “Body Leads.”
Wasting of huge sums of taxpayers’ money is nothing unusual. Last year, the US Senate report on CIA torture revealed that $81 million was paid to two clinical psychologists James Mitchell and Bruce Jessen to devise torture techniques used by the CIA.
February 5 Chicago Sun-Times poses the following question at the outset before beginning the Pentagon report.
“Could an autistic disorder be partially to blame for Russian President Vladimir Putin’s actions in Ukraine?”
Why not? Anything is possible. But two things demand clarification: whether Putin really has Asperger’s syndrome and his actions in Ukraine were a unilateral move or were they in response to US incitement.
To determine whether an adult person has AS or not, a thorough and careful physical examination is the first necessary criteria to be fulfilled. The patient and the people who know him/her are to be questioned diligently in order to extract as much medical history as possible. The people declaring Putin suffering from AS has only watched his videos dating back to 2000. Thus the report has no solid basis to claim that Putin has AS.
The money is gone to Connors & Co., and the report should go to the garbage to end this farce.
Now about Putin’s actions in Ukraine.
During the Cold War, communist states of Central and East Europe, including the Soviet Union, were part of Warsaw Pact. It was in response to the US led NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) which included countries of West Europe.
With the end of the Cold War in 1989 and the break up of the Soviet Union in 1991, the Warsaw Pact came to an end. Russian President Mikhail Gorbachev and US President George H. W. Bush discusseda href=”http://globeistan.com/?p=46969″> the role of NATO. Bush government promised that NATO would not expand eastward at all. But it did. There was no written agreement and so Gorbachev was helpless. Then NATO kept on expanding. It has added twelve more members, may of them Warsaw Pact countries.

In February 2014, the US engineered coup in Ukraine ousted Viktor Yanukovych government and installed their candidate Arseniy Yatsenyuk. Ukraine is Russia’s next door neighbor. This led Russia to intervene.
A simple example would be something like this. Let’s say there are 20 houses in a row. Houses number 1-10 belongs to NATO countries and 11-20 belongs to Warsaw Pact countries. In 1989, Warsaw Pact ends and countries number 11-20 are on their own. Bush said NATO will not extend its territory at all. He lied – like other US leaders. Nato extends membership to many former Warsaw Pact countries and brings them within its fold and thus it reaches the doorstep of Russia.
But the US Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel said:
Putin is mad and Russia is at NATO’s doorstep!
Now is there anyone who can beat this logic?
