Making the headlines this
year has been the Soviet
President Vladimir Putin. Is it his desire to annex more
of the Ukraine and restore
the territory lost to the Soviet
Union after the collapse
of Communism in 1991?
Can we predict the response
by President Barak
Obama to Putin’s actions? Who
has the stronger
personality? How these two men operate
is a
function of their birth orders. Those of you that have
been reading this blog understand the difference
between the various types of Double Birth orders.
For
those who don’t here is a brief review.
Double Birth Orders
Double Birth orders occur
when there is a gap in sibling
births of at least 4
years. The greater the gap, the more
the person acts like an
Only birth order and less like his
ordinal number at
birth. The addition of the Only birth
order amplifies,
intensifies, and magnifies all the
personality
characteristics of their ordinal birth number.
Finding the True Birth Order
Just knowing your number
in the line of children at
birth is not enough to find
your birth order. Spacing
of siblings, the death of
older siblings and living
arrangements are just a
few factors you must consider
to find your “True” or
functional birth order.
Who is Vladimir Putin
Born October 7, 1952 the
third birth to his father
Vladimir (1911-1999) who
served in the submarine
fleet and later the NKVD
or secret police and his
mother Maria (1911-1998) a
factory worker. His
older brothers were born
in the 30’s, 15 to 20
years before young Vladimir. His first brother
died within a few months
of birth but the next
brother died from
diphtheria maybe during the
siege of Leningrad in
WWII. Much of Putin’s family
history has been erased or
is unavailable. His years
in the KGB or secret
service may be the reason.
This death of his older
brothers and the stress
on the family during the
almost 3 years of the siege
must have been
overwhelming. Over 641,000
people starved to death
while Hitler’s Army
surrounded the town.
Vladimir was born 8 years
after the siege when his
mother was 41yrs old. This
child would be treasured
and given everything they
wanted. He may have been
raised as a spoiled Only
child. The information
about him being a bully and
a troublesome student fits
with this assessment.
Team sports would not hold
much interest to an
Only child. The sport of
Judo took his interest and
his coach Anatoly Rakhin
trained him for 15yrs.
Putin an Only/Three Birth Order
Because of the 15 to 20
year age difference between
Putin and his deceased two
older brothers make him
a Only/Three Double birth
order. 95% an Only and 5%
a Three. This person feels
that he deserves things.
Maybe that is why when his
parents won a car in a
lottery while Putin was in
college, they gave him the car.
This made him the only
student at Leningrad University
who owned his own car.
This Only/Three would see the
world revolving around him
not others. Only’s like to
make their own rules. His handpicked
President Dmitry
Medvedev had the
legislature increase the term of
President from 4 to 6 yrs before
Putin ran for a second
term as President. Only’s
are the adult in the room
and show little fear of
others. His Three characteristics
make him feel like he
understands people. He worked
in the KGB section on
human relations. He really thinks
he knows how people react.
There is a certain level of
“look at me” with this
double birth order and it may
explain why we have seen him
in videos always with
an athletic macho scenario.
Obama The
One/Only
This double birth order
occurs when after the firstborn
there is a gap of four or
more years until the next
sibling. This is the case for
Barack Obama, who has
a half-sister five years younger. This
would give him
a 50% Only and 50% One Double birth
order. People
with this double birth order have great
difficulty
admitting they are wrong. That’s the One side
telling
them they have to be right all the time. Because of
this trait they may postpone making a firm decision
just in case it may be wrong. Some say his leadership
style is “Leading from behind”. The Only side of this
birth order gives him the power to hold fast to his
position and finds it extremely difficult to ever admit
a mistake.
This double birth order can be a leader if
they can get
over the difficulty of trying not to be
perfect and accept
making an error a time or two.
Who is Stronger and the Obama Response
The answer to our question
is that Putin is stronger
than Obama. 95% Only to
50% Only. Putin is not afraid
to make a mistake whereas
Obama can be paralyzed
with inaction. Look to the future with Putin doing all he
can to gain back territory
that was lost after the collapse
of the USSR. Only’s don’t
like to share and he watched
as a KGB officer the brake
up of the USSR. He may
want his country “whole”
again. He will also confuse
the message using the
Three characteristics of his birth
order to manipulate where
he can’t win by force.
Update 2-24-2022
Today the Russian army invaded Ukraine but this time
Biden is President and not Obama. Biden's birth order
is a Firstborn far weaker than Obama's. In 2014 Putin
annexed Crimea under the Obama administration. It
would appear he will have an even more tepid response from Biden

other leaders
and those that carry the
3/0 or 0/3 birth orders look no

Order Affects Your Path Throughout Life by Dr. Robert
