MOSCOW (AP) — Russia has appointed action movie star Steven Seagal as a special envoy for humanitarian ties with the United States.The Foreign Ministry announced the move Saturday on its Facebook page, saying Seagal’s portfolio in the unpaid position would be to “facilitate relations between Russia and the United States in the humanitarian field, including cooperation in culture, arts, public and youth exchanges.”
Seagal is an accomplished martial artist — like Russian President Vladimir Putin. The actor, who was granted Russian citizenship in 2016, has vocally defended the Russian leader’s policies, including Russia’s 2014 annexation of Crimea, and has criticized the U.S. government.
Last year, Ukraine banned Seagal from entering the country for five years, citing national security reasons.
International Ambassador of Fitness and Health would suit him better.
We should ban him as well, if we can’t deport him for his insane pro Russian views, then at least we could kick him out for the brain dead movies he’s been in.
International Ambassador for Bad Acting and Assholery.
Clowns gonna clown.
WTF?
I guess they figure Donny will pay attention to Seagal because he’s “a star.” In the same way Donny thought he himself was a star.
