Joe Rogan Posts -- and Deletes -- Fake Report About Steven Seagal Joining Russian Special Forces

Media literacy is clearly not Joe Rogan’s strong suit. The podcast host recently took to Instagram to share a fake CNN report stating that actor Steven Seagal has joined Russian special forces stationed near Kyiv, Ukraine, noting the absurdity of “this fucked up movie we’re living through.” He later took it down, for obvious reasons.

“I deleted my earlier post about Steven Seagal being in Ukraine because it was parody, which isn’t surprising, but honestly it wouldn’t be surprising if it was true either,” he wrote in a follow-up post. “He was banned from Ukraine in 2017 because he was labeled as a national security threat. I, like all of you, hope the tragic situation is resolved there quickly.”

The deleted photo of Seagal decked out in army gear that could have been purchased at a Dick’s Sporting Goods comes from a 2017 film called Cartels. When asked for comment about the fight between Russia and Ukraine, Seagal told Rolling Stone: “My prayers are that both countries will come to a positive, peaceful resolution where we can live & thrive together in peace.”

1. Anyone know what kind of statements Rogan made

about Putin in the past? My guess is he was a big fan.

2. Russian check

must have bounced.

3. I saw that on line this morning. I'm pretty gullible but that one

was too weird to believe.

4. I knew it was fake

because Seagal is too much of a punk to fight in a war.

9. He'd wait until the real fighters secured the area and then he would take credit for it.

5. Is he bringing doughnuts?

Maybe they can roll Segal into the middle of a highway to block the tank columns.

6. It's turning out that Rogan is not the smartest guy.

Who would fall for Seagal's old ass joining Russian special forces. HE'S PUSHING 70-YEARS-OLD for God's sake.

I know Rogan took it down but he never should've posted in the first place. He should've scoffed at it at first glance just as any sensible person would.

7. Too many blows to the head?

8. His IQ is still dropping?

10. It's because Ukrainians are proving to be badasses.

Righties love their badasses. They wanted Seagal to be their new badass. They think Putin is a badass because he rode around without a shirt. On a horse. And the horse was led by another person. Not a badass. Tfg got his doctor to write a phony note excusing him from serving in the military. Not a badass. You know who IS a badass? The old lady who gave Russian soldiers sunflower seeds and told them to put the seeds in their pockets so when they died in Ukraine, there would be sunflowers growing where they fell. Who else is a badass? The guys on Snake Island that told the Russian warship to go fuck themselves. Who else? The wealthy champion boxer who was once mayor of Ukraine capital and his brother who are both millionaires but now taking up arms to defend their country. See the dif, Rogan?
