Steven Seagal Is Still A Pro-Russia Shill

[FelineOverlord]

He was named a Russian "goodwill ambassador" to the U.S. in 2018. He apparently received Russian citizenship in 2016.

1. Steven Seagal Is Still A Pro-Russia Shill

I have read that Seagal will work on "environmental protection" in his new role with this political party.

In Russia?

2. His power and influence are beyond words.

5. So is his vocabulary

[PrinceHakeem]

3. Didn't he move there to avoid prosecution for rape or something?

[Carlitos Brigante]

4. He could become Vice President there. Still wouldn't change the fact that Gene Lebell made

him shit in his draws....

6. Most action stars are chickenhawks who never saw war.

They love strongmen and hate democracy. Sly Stallone was dismissive of Trump's Russian sympathies. Don't be surprised if he defects at some point. Jean Claude Van-Damne is horrifically racist and sympathetic to dictators.

[Polybius]

7. Add Arnold to that list

Although he hates Trump, he's still a lifelong Republican. Bruce Willis is a Republican too. Don't know about Chuck Norris.

8. Norris I believe is just a little to the right of the Republicans

9. Jesus, Seagal looks like he got hit in the ass with a helium dart

10. Is he allowed to keep his US citizenship?

This guy sure is a ... weird one. You wouldn't think a buddhist would want to hang with Russian oligarch war criminals.


In February 1997, Lama Penor Rinpoche from Palyul monastery announced that Seagal was a tulku, and specifically the reincarnation of Chungdrag Dorje, a 17th-century terton (treasure revealer) of the Nyingma, the oldest sect of Tibetan Buddhism. (Wikipedia)

11. Brings me back to the days of Mad Tv.

Will Sasso did a hilarious Steven Seagal. Look up the various skits on YouTube, if you want to laugh.

Edit:

Here is a voting skit:

How Did Steven Seagal And Vladimir Putin Become BFFs? Bob Van Ronkel Introduced Them

For the past two decades, Bob Van Ronkel has been the Forrest Gump of U.S.-Russia relations.

He helped introduce Steven Seagal to Vladimir Putin. He helped introduce Jim Carrey to Oleg Deripaska, the now-sanctioned aluminum tycoon.

Then there were Jack Nicholson, Sean Penn, Woody Harrelson, Lara Flynn Boyle and more, all making visits to Russia — Van Ronkel was even there when Donald Trump's Miss Universe pageant visited Moscow.

Van Ronkel runs Doors to Hollywood, a company that brings American celebrities to Russia and other parts of the former Soviet Union. If an actor or musician traveled to Russia to hobnob with Putin or wealthy Russian oligarchs such as Deripaska, chances are he was involved.
