Steven Seagal Loves Putin and Might Become a Russian Citizen Because of Ukraine

Action guy Steven Seagal weighed in on the international dispute over Russia's annexation of Crimea this week. Spoiler alert: he's siding with his friend Vladimir Putin and not with President Obama, whom the action star believes is one Benghazi revelation away from impeachment. In an interview with the state-run Rossiskaya Gazeta, Seagal called Putin "one of the great living world leaders," adding that he "would like to consider him as a brother."

The fighting celebrity's American legacy is, at this point, more or less relegated to the pages of World Net Daily and Joe Arpaio's county in Arizona. But he's very famous in Russia, and has recently struck up friendships with a handful of Russian oligarchs. As the Moscow Times notes, Rossiskaya Gazeta's interview seems to gloss over Seagal's waning popularity in the West, presumably to insinuate that his comments may carry some bite overseas (if the amused response that greeted his previous comments on Ukraine is any indication, this assumption is not true). The Times paraphrases the general idea of those remarks:

That guy is the worst actor I have ever seen. His version of martial arts is twisting arms and flipping people or ramming their heads into something. But he never gets dirty...yeah, that's gonna happen.
Plus, I think the guy is a pedophile as well. He always has to have a screen shot with a twenty-something naked girl. He's what... 70?

Action stars are the biggest chickenhawks around. Willis, Groepenfuhrer, Stallone, Seagal, Wayne. None of these bastards ever went to war yet they love war. They are neo-cons.
