Maybe somebody tried to do an Operation Valkyrie on him. That gave Hitler a palsy in one arm.
The British have the same MO for a century. Putin may have something wrong with his arm, but it’s difficult to know if it’s true because ever since Kaiser Wilhelm the Brits accuse everyone they think is a power mad dictator of having a gimp arm.
People have pointed out that straight, non-swinging right arm when he walks for years. Someone even did a photo comparison of Putin with other senior KGB and FSB officers, and they all walked with a straight, barely moving right arm. The thought several years ago was that it had to do with KGB training for quick weapon access.
On whom, Putin or the security agent on his left? Exact same posture.
Sheesh - is that Jack Reacher?
He’s walking the same way Hitler did in April 1945. He has Parkinson’s disease and shows it the same way.

Medvedev used to do it with him, when they strutted around in his youth.
