A Pentagon think tank conducted a study that claims that Russian President Vladimir Putin has Asperger's syndrome, "an autistic disorder which affects all of his decisions," according to a report.
Putin's "neurological development was significantly interrupted in infancy," wrote Brenda Connors, an expert in movement-pattern analysis at the US Naval War College in Newport, Rhode Island.
She added that movements reveal "the Russian President carries a neurological abnormality."

Putin appears to be "defensive in large social settings."
I have no doubt he is demon possessed also.
I heard Putin speak at a Texas high school along with Bush Jr.
Putin has turned out to be a bit of a monster but I don’t think he has real mental problems.
He was a very charismatic speaker, much more so than Bush. He probably has problems with right/wrong perception but nothing else.
Our guy has the slims, is a stoner, has a coke addiction, a popper habit and narcissistic personality disorder and we’re worried about a third-rate tin pot strongman?
Asperger’s? I think a lot of Russians believe he has Asskicker’s Syndrome.
Oh give me a break. Putin is completely rational and knows exactly what he’s doing. Remind me again who still controls Crimea and a large chunk of Ukraine? He could take it all if he wanted to, and there would not be a thing NATO would do about it.
There is another rumor that Putin has some form of CANCER.
Seems very unlikely to me.
If he does have Asperger’s, than that makes him doubly a threat. He is highly intelligent, but every moral qualm I little more than a theoretical data point.
He could literally wipe out entire populations and it wouldn’t resonate with him emotionally.
There are guys waiting in the wings, including one of the ones in command of the Ukraine operation, that make Putin look like a piker.
a third-rate tin pot strongman with nuclear weapons
Did you see yesterday that he sent a bomber with nuclear weapons aboard over the English Channel?
The third rate tin pot strongman is shaking a big stick at the West right now. It’s typical Russian bravado but not to be taken lightly. We need a strong response to prevent war and we have mister lead from behind as president.
We could be in a world of sh!t.
Not just the English Channel but apparently flew it off the coast if Ireland too
(Patrick Henry, is that you?)
That would not remove the possibility of him having Asperger’s. People who have it are basically walking computers in their mindset.
They are not stupid. In fact, they often have higher IQ’s than the average person. They tend towards being obsessive and they have no emotional connection with being moral.
I hope this is just bad reporting; otherwise we have incompetent neurologists working for the gov. Neurologically the statement is meaningless.
Or maybe, from his appearance, hydrocephalus.
We have a strong man dictator with aggressive expansionist ambitions who feels his country was slighted in the recent past trying to intimidate us to achieve some of his goals.
We are as Britain was led by a swishy appeaser.
If we do not present a strong response to Putin’s provocations we can expect him to move on the former Soviet satellite states regardless of the economic sanctions and the falling ruble.
Sheldon Cooper with the bomb and a canister of smallpox virus.
Great.
Remember that weird kid everybody picked on?
Good luck!
Asperger's isn't even in in the DSM, any longer, for whatever that might be worth (since a lot of things that probably should be aren't listed any longer either).
Ordinarily I'd like to respect consultants hired by the Pentagon for threat assessment, but I gotta wonder...
Did Putin get it from a vaccination? *SMIRK*
