This 39-minute video is very up-to-date (as of June 2022) and explains what drives Putin’s thought process and wars. It’s the work of a Dallas YouTuber named Joseph Pisenti (profile here), who’s also a book author (here). If he has a c.v. (degrees, etc.), beyond describing himself as a writer, director, and content creator, I can’t find it. He’s apparently pretty popular on YouTube, and in this video, he seems to know what he’s talking about or at least has a well-informed view of things.
