He was gripping the table apparently to avoid tremoring and his foot on the right side was tapping rythmaticly. Both hand and foot were on the same side. In addition, his face was puffy implying that he is on steroids. Combat Vet's conclusion was tentatively Parkinson's. He emphasized that he is not a doctor and his conclusion could not be regarded a diagnosis. However it did seem that he had done a bit of research before he recorded his presentation.
A friend mentioned exactly this after he had seen the same video of Putin.
We speculated that the behavior could also be an expression of pain, gripping the table instead of making a fist while tapping the foot due to muscle-tension.
Regardless, if he is sick it could mean that the whole mess in Ukraine was supposed to be his crowning achievement before stepping down.
On a different subject, why is it that people who go into wars have so little good Intel before they go in... Think Bush before Afghanistan and Iraq. I doubt that he could have even spelled Shia or Sunni... Or the Japanese before Pearl. Now this. I guess the Russians thought they would be welcomed by open arms by the Ukrainians. Maybe pretty Ukrainian girls would bed sticking the stems of fragrant roses down the their rifle barrels...
