Putin with Parkinsons?

[HDQQ]

Not teapotting, no.  More like a 2 handled coffee pot with one loose handle.

Lots of people swing one arm more than the other. I do, I always have done, but I don't have anything wrong with either of my arms.

I think you mean both of your arms are normally raised in hysteria over the least wee thing .

Maybe he will do a Muhammed Ali and clip Parky round the ear.

But they speculated Putin had advanced um.. was it liver or spleen cancer years ago? Maybe he did and got thru it, who knows? This is a guy who has a fighter jet escort with highways closed to escort him. Mum's the word.

That was one speculation back in 2019. Might be worth a read.

Interesting, one could speculate Trump and Putin have a lot in common.

The word is out that Putin is showing signs of onset Parkinson's disease with rumours that he will stand down in January. Now this may be false news of course but it's interesting to see a video of Putin marching as he does through down a corridor through an applauding crowd.

I find the reasoning quite interesting in what they call his walk the gunslinger gait, where he is seen to swing his left arm strongly while holding his right arm fairly still by his side an early sign of Parkinsons so they say.  It made me search for older film and as far back as 2015 he displayed the same walk so may well be gun training as suggested by some. So it has to wondered why this rumour has surfaced.

I tend to notice how people move, I guess years of dance/body analysis has left its scar and I have always thought that he has the walk of the cocky little man.

Now I thought that it was only recently that Putin pulled strings to stay in office for life. Has something changed that I haven't noticed? Any thoughts, if Putin were to stand down next January, on how Russia would be different? Who is in line to follow him?

Your perogative. I assume you'll have no more to say until January then.

Well there are many poisons that imitate Parkinson's disease symptoms.  (As you probably know.)

[johnofgwent]

Until proven otherwise I will assume it is fake news.

Given this story is all over various newspapers not just the daily fail, and seems syndicated worldwide, I'm happy to consider the concept of him stepping down credible even if he had his KGB pals put this up as a cover story for why ...

Credible source please.

Yeah right.
