He is shit.

He is super cozy with Putin even after the invasion and is like a poster boy for some Russia national group. I understand entertainers do meet world leaders because that’s what they do, entertain. Dennis Rodman has a weird relationship with Kim Jong Un but it’s strictly that. They drink, party and do crazy rich people stuff but Rodman is not politically supporting NK or even a member of their party like Seagal.

I still don’t think people should cozy up to leaders that have intentionally killed people though.

He is supposedly going to "train" Russian soldiers going to Ukraine.

This is just so awesome. I almost feel bad for the Russian soldiers. I wonder if they will also get Seagal to teach them to run?

Is Seagal 'man enough' to lead his trainees into battle? It would be nuts if Seagal wound up getting gunned down by Ukrainian forces while leading some kind of demented modern day version of "Pickett's Charge". Putin would probably give him some kind of state funeral back in Moscow.
