"Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power."
- Abraham Lincoln
A powerful statement. And certainly true !!!
Sorry for Abe, but there should be better and less harmful ways to test someone's character than putting him into a position of power.
True
ya....u mean like how Abraham fuckinx Lincoln robbed away millions of acres of tribal land and killed all the Native Americans...?
@@Namuchat I don't think he was advocating using it as a testing tool, just making an observation about human nature 😂
Narcissist just takes and takes. They feel entitled to everything. It’s a void they can’t seem to fill
I dont' think he's a narcissist. I genuienly believe he's got a fucked up mental state and didnt know how to solve it. Looks more as an action based on impulsivity rather than narcissism. Any psychologist with any knowledge of background I'm sure could affirm that. What he's doing is fucked, plainly fucked but the motive i think is more of something going on inside rather than a I want to dominate the world. Putin didnt know how to handle it so now he's gotten himself in a fucking deeper well, hope he opens his eyes and realizes that what he's doing deep down he knows he does not want to. Hope the best for everyone, fucked things happened but hope he opens his eyes and is humble despite how shit he must feel inside to say "stop" to his wrong of actions.
That’s a little comfort & sad for them. Narcissists are without peace…. Despite the outward appearances and show offs. Totally void, unhappy, no peace. What’s sadder is they don’t even know that they are mentally sick.
Ukraine, COURAGE. You shall rebuild💙💛
Especially sociopaths and psychopaths.
They lack deep emotion, and crave what they cannot have.
But they can only feel lust, greed and hate and have no morals or boundaries.
Just like Trump.
Couldn't agree more... narcissist, sociopath, psychopath... the moon and stars all revolve around ME
In fairness to shallow, ignorant people, it's a parsimonious utilization of a limited resources, INDEPENDENT THOUGHT. Putin expends so much thought worrying about his cadry of Duma buffoons, he has nothing left to actually THINK about what matters for Russia. I'm literally saying *Russia oligarchs are crazy, and rotted the mind of their own leader over decades.*
That's why Trump idolizes him!!!
So sickening to think that a handful of such flawed, mentally deranged and unworthy men posses such immense power over the lives and deaths of so many human beings on this planet.
True I think you'll find that a high percentage of people who get into positions of great power whether it be politics or business are actually psychopaths😮
😅
Its the same with CEOs
If they had no codes for nuclear bombs they’d have no power
... and that's just the White House.
She describes sociopathic behaviour.
No empathy, no morals.
you can have empathy and go to war. Yes, psychology is BS
or even psychopathic.
and she is one of them. still is. don't be fooled
Yep, and still decided to marry him,obviously just in love nothing to do with the money, she's just as bad.
Women who feel men are that powerful nd lacking morals don't typically go on the news to say that. They try to negotiate some security. I find this so typical ex-girlfriend...I'll need to see it from Putins' ex-wife to know it's true.
Man, the amount of damage fragile, insecure, narcissists can cause if they are handed power.
And imagine, Mountainpeak, how American Democracy survived a very near fatal blow from a very similar mind found embedded in the megalomania that was and still is, #45, and how he has infected the once Grand Old Party of Lincoln! He and his cretin minions must NEVER hold office ever again! Vote such sick and twisted treachery out!

There was early the evidence for false flag terror attacks as a pretext for the 2nd Chechnya invasion. An internal republic which wanted independence and was brutally crushed.

@Анастасия Борисова Lots of pain inflicted on the poor Ukrainians and on the Russian soldiers. Lots of financial pain coming to Russia. So unnecessary don't you think? Someone in Russia is going to have to remove him. Is that person you?
Trump also "suffers" from malignant narcissist disorder. He too is a sociopath and someone who has no empathy for anyone but himself. He had no business ever being in the White House.
Yes, he seems to do the full dark triad of personality psychology.
juergen kuschel. Narcissim doesn't quite explain his desire to bomb Ukraine into submission. He's a deranged psychopath.
She can't be trusted. Or did she had secret affair behind her then husband? She can't simply know personality details of her husband's buddies.
"Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely". Lord Acton
Absolutely right.. she is a power mad ex wife pro who is again selling herself for money and relevence... spot on
@GG Rene You don't have to believe everything you hear to understand what's actually going on here. Being able to discern what's objective and verifiable helps. As to the rest - two wrongs don't make a right. Unrelated people not wanting to be homeless 1-2 hundred years later isn't equivalent to purposely slaughtering children on a whim, either. Otherwise, you should make yourself homeless along with the rest of us.
@john white, Lord Acton was speaking specifically about the Papacy at the time of the First Vatican Council, at which time the Pope (then Pope Pius IX) was declared divine and infallible. While Lord Acton's quote applies very well to Putin, even Putin must answer to the Papacy or face the Papal wrath as did JFK and other world leaders. In case you, like most, didn't know it, the Papacy is king of kings and lord of lords by his own decree. And the corruption of the Papacy is also unlimited as evidenced by the global pedophile priest pandemic, while almost none of the priests ever go to jail for their crimes. Instead, the Papacy simply moves them from diocese to diocese to escape justice. And the world is incapable of holding the Papacy to account for any of his crimes, even the World Court.
The reason absolute power corrupts absolutely is because the people who took the power were narcissists and sociopaths to begin with, like Putin or Trump They seek power and money like Yogi bear seeks picnic baskets.
💯💯💯👍👍👍
Cannot get my head round how she managed to stay with this Oligarch for 8 years . Maybe money had something to do with it .
🤣🤣🤣
She was married to a poor Cossack guide before. For years they struggled to make ends meet, as she taught English and was the main bread winner, and all while refusing financial help from her rich parents. At the time it was big news because she’s a countess, a countess who married some random poor guy from the Cossack steps. So no I don’t think that with Pugachev it had anything to do with money. She even confided to friends at the time that she wishes he didn’t have all that money because people were going to think she was a gold digger, when facts were that she was everything but impressed. People from her world are just not that impressed. Maybe YOU would hook up with him for money, which is why you assume she did. Stop projecting! It seems to me like that is obviously what YOU would do, had you had the chance, and that is why you accuse her of it. She was born and raised in the world of the posh, so to her it didn’t look as glittery as it would probably look to you. Alexandra loves Russia, he is Russian, and at the time was quite handsome and charming _no woman can say no to a handsome, charming man who wants her, and on top of that also happens to be from the one place she loves and earns for the most in this world. She would have been a fool had she said no to that experience, just so that thick headed, bitter, one dimensional idiots like you wouldn’t run their mouths.
@@selmahare gee, someone's bitter!
Maybe it took a while to realize and accept how evil those people truly are. Lot of people who used to work with Trump have come out now and said how horrible he is. Same thing.
She was part of it. She has the nerve to complain now..
The power got to him. This is what happened when you allow one man to rule for so long.
That and he was a narcissist or sociopath to begin with. He didn't get where he go without doing whatever it took to get there. Watch "Frontline" on these topics. He probably had those Apartment buildings blown up in Russia to get his name out there to take over.
It all depends on the man...or woman. And I am thinking of Angela Merkel who ruled Germany wisely and well for many years. She remained true to her vocation, to her country and people and the ideals of a democratic and sane world.
putin is still upset after being kicked out of the G8, after that he switched on KGB mode. he's been brooding and plotting ever since. That and the isolationfrom covid tipped him over the edge!
💯💯absolute power corrupts absolutely
And Xi recently made himself president for life.
That's going to bite us.
When Putin attacked Georgia, the world ignored his actions. When Putin invaded Crimea and a small part of Eastern Ukraine, the world said something about it, but gradually the world leaders forgot about it. I hope the world is learning from the past mistakes.
But also when USA & NATO invade Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya illegally and kill thousands of innocent people, the world is in silence just watching.
And what the world said when US and allies invaded Korea, Irak, syria, somalia, Libya and many other independant nations? The logic is simple: The world is wild, force and interests dictate the rules between nations, anything else is hypocrisy. Leaders are similar to comon citizens in different positions simply. Otherwise, they might be pervert like others, if we sneak in private life and bed sheet of each one, shit might be brought on lights.
The world has been making the same mistakes since WW2

It's hard to understand what is really going on. It all stems from having nothing and coming into a position to make people do what you want to get what you want 💯
Interesting. And two ways to look at having nothing are: owning nothing, and having nothing to give.
Depends on the personality I guess.
You are all being played.
It’s more than narcissism, more like sociopath. Or even a psychopath.
I think it's malignant narcissists like Trump's diagnosis. Which is a combination of narcissist, sociopath, sadistic and machiavelliansim.
@@brianwalsh1401 trump didnt kill 500,000 syrians. Putin literally sheds peoples blood because he hates himself. He is a psychopath
There are no differences between a narcissist a psychopath or sociopath. Most of the time psychiatrists switch from one term to another to describe the same evil
I think psychopathy and sociopathy were combined to "Antisocial Personality Disorder", so the distinction isn't made anymore. If that's wrong, feel free to correct me.
Cats whisker difference btw narcissist and psychopath
In just the first minute of her speaking she gave a very honest and concise view on what powerful people are truly like. Good job. Ruthless.

The topic here is PUTIN and his attrocities. It sickens me when others do the 'what-about-ism'. Let us focus on PUTIN. If you are doing this what-about-ism you are saying you emphaisize with Putin. It's the same with 911. On the day it happened I walked in to a Muslim takeaway and started talking to the Manager while my food was getting prepared - I told him 'Wow really horrible what is happening in America right now'. Do you want to know what he said to me .. he said 'What about the Muslims dying in so and so war etc etc'. He had NO sympathy towards the innocents killed. Sick of you what-about-ists.
@@esmaelbalochh Actually very different: In the western world, free media exposes corruption (financial, social or political), and the journalists or the reporters don't pay the ultimate price (losing their lives through assassination or poisoning), whereas in Russia all Putin has to do is to decide which political opponent has to be poisoned (Navalny, and Alexander Litovchenko), or be assassinated (Boris Nemtsov). This doesn't mean that everything in the western world is perfect, but show me another political system that has a better record of holding politicians accountable for their actions and decisions. By the way, I am from Middle East and a 3-rd world country, but I judge events and personalities based on facts, not my personal bias one way or the other.
The American military dropped a bomb on 10 Afghan children on their way out of their country, all of you know about it and don't give a shet.

Putin is smart enough to realise that a dysfunctional and weak US Administration, like Biden's, will probably happen only once in a life time - he is taking full advantage of it now. It took him time to realise that Obama was fairly weak and indecisive, but he already knew about Biden's weaknesses and limitations as he had been VP for 8 years. As soon as Biden was inaugurated Putin would have began planning in earnest for the invasion of Ukraine. He was right about Biden, but he underestimated the response from Europe - who would have thought Europe would unite and take the leadership role.

You typically don't find dictators and billionaires with high moral standards. Usually they play the win at all costs game. And every person they use or that gets in their way is just another piece in their opposition puzzle.
All narcissists and sociopaths are like that and will do whatever it takes to win Like Trump got from his dad their are winners and losers. Black and white thinking and if you don't have a soul anymore you need to fill that emptiness withwhatever you can which is usually, power, money, sex, stuff etc. but it's an unquenchable thirst.

No, look, as much as everyone wants to make this all symbolically about Putin, the reality is that he has a VAST network of support in which, whether people are ignorant and uneducated or brainwashed or not, they support Putin. There are many Russian dissidents, sure, and many more who claim they are "not political", but it's not JUST Putin. His whole "political party" called United Russia is at fault. It's institutional failure because of loyalty to Putin. It's a lot like other charismatic leaders, sure, they push people around, but some people push others around FOR that leader because they trust and believe that leader and want the same things.

Very important for women to speak up now and an accurate assessment from the countess in my view. Malignant Narcissism would be a better diagnosis I would think. A malignant narcissist in control of nuclear weapons. It doesn’t get more terrifying than that.
We just got ours out of office last year.
It has nothing to do with women or psychology that’s bs
bravo for thé 3 childs they have together , zero respect for her children
You don't think the oligarchs in the USA are the EXACT same??
She said : 2008 Putin was so confident and different person, 2008 he started war in Georgia and bombed cities and people died, Sorry but he was same all the time, only difference is that he expresses more and more!🇬🇪🇺🇦
@@Paonporteur agree!!!
Oh c'mon she's just trying to take attention away from herself over the fact that she was the partner to Putin's right hand man during that time period
psychology is BS. He wants a page in the history books. Oligarchs don't have each other, she's just attention seeking
It's so funny how she complains about he doesn't have morals and normal human emotions, but in the meantime, she was his lover for a while, profiting from those traits of him...
@Deen Chaser I think she's probably just not a particularly good person, whereas Sergei and Putin are basically sociopaths, and she may not have fully realized that at first. There's a difference between being the kind of person who is self-serving and good at rationalizing that for a while, than being the kind of person who truly and fundamentally lacks empathy. The former can change if they realize they've become a toxic/bad person.
Huh? She wasn't Putin's partner. She was the partner of a guy close to Putin.
@@solar0wind And? Who said Putin?
@@onlygameplay134 , that’s what can happen in love. People fall in love with someone and think they’re amazing, and then, over time, they can begin to see people in a different light. It happens all the time. People often think the other person is the most evil person to ever walk the earth by the time they divorce.
@@geemo4284 More like fell in love with an oligarch's money
I just watched a series on gangster kingpins and this situation sounds almost identical.
Russian golddigger, she was ok with it so many years and now is playing she's shocked. Embarassing.
We did not humiliate Russia. Russia had every opportunity to become big and successful, as many countries have after the Cold War ended - Czech Republic, Poland, China, South Korea. Russia humiliated itself. NOW we will humiliate Russia, and now they can really have something to cry about.
The west brought Russia out of the 19th century into the 21st with tech and big business. The fallacy of NATO being a threat to them is ridiculous.
@@pho-kingsoup8126 yes but many believed it or pretended to believe it.
@@sobeliever1638 True, sadly.
@@pho-kingsoup8126
NATO is a threat to Putin's expansionism which is what keeps him in power, so, for him, NATO is a threat.
He won't suffer though. Only "his" people.
She didn’t know him by the way. As she said, she was in the room with him once. Never spoke to him.
Haw you well now sambady if you meet him once and never speak with that person.?
Also, Sergei apparently spoke about Putin to Alexandra. Which is still important.
@@Marina-rt6ok I’m sorry..are you speaking English? What?
Oligarchs don't have each other, she's just attention seeking
“Complete lack of normal human morals.” Who knew?
She should have said that at that time. Now it's too late!
She was part of it, wasn't she? You are absolutely right.
@@user-ie1vf5sv3jShe was part of it - and enjoyed it! Now she is angry for some reason.
IT'S JUST SAD THAT THESE PEOPLE ARE IN THE HIGHEST POSITION OF THE GOVERNMENT. THEY ARE RUTHLESS AND THINK ALL ABOUT THEMSELVES AND THEIR SUCCESS USING PEOPLE FOR THEIR ADVANTAGE. AND THE VERY SAD PART ABOUT THIS IS THE SALARY OF THE PEOPLE IS NOT COMING FROM THEM BUT FROM PEOPLE'S TAX WHO ARE WORKING FOR THESE RUTHLESS LEADERS.
We're seeing this today in very many nations of the world, including ostensible representative democracies. Not all of the elites are as blatant about is as in Russia, but they all aspire to get there.
Think HILTLER, and that's all you need to know about this Russian wannabe tsar !!

As a new saying goes: "Rasputin went to hell. So will Putin."
Hope so
No, send him to Hell's hell
The comparison is unfair to Rasputin.

@@virginiaserranovalencia8082 umm, even if that’s true, Fox is totally different from CNN, Msnbc, etc. While I do not agree with many of the ways in which mainstream media operates in general, Fox and all of the right wing networks are soooo detrimental to our society. It seems like all they focus on is drama, instigating culture wars, spreading conspiracy theories, dividing society, sowing dissent and preying on uneducated and gullible people. It’s like their constantly spreading propaganda against their own country… I don’t love the current administration either, and I think our country has been stuck with extremely poor choices as far as recent presidents, and the people in congress.. it’s embarrassing! ESPECIALLY people like Trump, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Lauren Boebert, Matt Gaetz, Ted Cruz, Kamala Harris, and many more. But the majority of the nutcases belong to the Republican Party, which is who Fox News supports. I don’t get how anyone in their right mind could support people like that. It’s unbelievable! The Democratic Party needs a lot of changes too, don’t get me wrong.. but yeah, Fox News is so bad for our country! They make all of their supporters totally despise and distrust our government. I get it to an extent.. it’s hard to trust our government considering the condition it has been in.. but they over do it! The extent in which Fox rallies their supporters to hate their own government is obviously not a good thing and it leaves our country very weak and fragile. Our government needs to do something to be more bipartisan and hate one another less and learn to work together .. major changes must be made. But at least with news channels like MSNBC, they aren’t constantly stirring up drama and turning their viewers against our own government 24/7. The culture war sh!t that Fox focuses on so much is really getting out of hand. The news is SUPPOSED to be unbiased and about current events and stuff.. its not supposed to be about news anchors spewing their personal political beliefs. Their words influence their viewers A LOT. And their words are always inflammatory and controversial and negative, so it tends to have a really negative effect on society and how people think and act. It’s really bad for our country. We need more unity and less division:
"They all hate each, they were very competitive, they don't trust each other...", sounds like an idea for a reality game show and the game show host can eliminate the contestants by firing them.
Sounds like Democrats vs Republicans to me
Except in Russia they sometimes or often fire contestants by "escorting them to the grave" as a former Russian advisor said the other day.,
@@asquare9316 There's incentive not to lose. I'll bet Putin is feeling that pain right now.

Erin Burnett needs to take some courses in broadcast journalism. Enlarge her vocabulary, ask better questions. She speaks like a 19 year old.
Shame on Putin and his cronies.
russia belarus and ukraine were the same country. ukraine is a puppet of the west. zelensky got 72% of the vote, putin 73% and only one is called dictator.

Oh, she is indeed.
Last year in Russia a Beautiful model talked critically of Putin in public. She was found chopped up inside a suitcase. This woman is very brave indeed especially with how Putin is calling everyone in Russia traitors.
Let's hope she got a good financial settlement!
So courageous indeed to become partner of an already married super wealthy-immoral/tyrant oligarch to enjoy the luxuries, then go ahead and talk badly about him when the world is turning against this kind of tyrrany......

@@caryfrancis8030 "Anybody can be the media." - these days more than in the past yes. Then again look at Bill Gates. He basically gave away 300mil $ do various big media conglomerates after his involvement in Epstein scandal and they don't really investigate it anymore. And there is a lot to investigate. Like for example is relationship with Ghislaine Maxwell sister. the fact they knew each other way earlier than his official claims and much more.

"Abject absence of compassion" was also a common conclusion, regarding Nazi SS: Not much compassion in ballistic rockets on civilians, hospitals, etc.
(while not necessarily "targeted", launch of ballistic "showers" of rockets/arbitrary killings does not absolve one from culpability)
None of the leaders have compassion..
If they do.. they would not be allowed to stay for too long
Utterly barbaric attitude killing civilians. They are unfit to be called humans
I see evidence of psychopathy and parinod schizophrenia with delusional ideation.
No, but getting shot if you don't should have some bearing on the degree of personal blame!!

Thank God somebody finally labeled him as in having NPD! I have thought this all along and unless you've dealt with one of these individuals and have studied the disorder you won't understand it. Once you go through one of these relationships you can spot them really quickly. People that want Trump back in office really better think twice because you need to understand the only thing separating him from Putin is democracy.
Wow you are really the misled one. You cannot see straight for whatever reason. It is a shame that people like you do not search out for all truths under all circumstances that you want to make judgement upon. There isones who search vigoursly int these life situations and finds the truth. Yes we all have faluts but you my freind are using a harse judgement on things you really no nothing about. like all those before you you judge by what you hear others say seek deep within self to see true wisdom.
@@bobbybeeman7280 no sane person does what Putin is doing and once you have been ensnared in a relationship with one of these individuals you will totally understand it. I would do some research on NPD. I've researched this order disorder for several years. Like I stated previously, once you've been through it, it's pretty easy to spot.
Also a psychopath for sure.

Exactly, that shows all these totalitarian characters have the same : narcissistic self destructive emotions that is full of ignorance. May be trump and putin have infected each other through lies , cheat and having absolute power , which is poisonous to people with no empathy and wisdoms.

Putin gave us donald trump. It's all about money and power. Eric trump: "we get all the money we need from Russia"
If he has NPD that certainly complicates things. I didn't want to assume that, but it would make a lot of sense.
