Steven Seagal’s Acting Career Hits New Low in Nutso Kremlin Speech
The B-list action star awkwardly read off a script to recite Kremlin claims of Ukraine’s “organ trafficking” and “biolabs” as Vladimir Putin looked on approvingly.
Action star turned Putin pal Steven Seagal delivered a painful speech at the Kremlin on Thursday as he was presented with an award for his dubious accomplishments as the Kremlin’s special diplomatic representative to the U.S.
Staring down at a prepared text, the Under Siege star dispassionately urged those in attendance to “come together and fight for truth and justice” against Nazi propaganda after the Russian president awarded him the Order of Friendship for his “great contribution” to international cultural cooperation.
Reciting a list of the Kremlin’s fantastical claims about Ukraine about as convincingly as if he were reading the ingredients on the back of a cereal box, Seagal wondered aloud why the world would not wake up to Ukraine’s supposed history of “human trafficking, organ trafficking, narco trafficking, child sex trafficking”—just about all the traffickings—“bio-chemical warfare labs, fascism, and nazism.”
“And these are the things that we still tried to make them our brothers,” he said clumsily in English. “This war that we are currently embroiled in was started and financed by the West, and has come to involve the entire world in the fight against good and evil.”
Seagal, 72, was personally given a Russian passport by Vladimir Putin in 2016 and in 2018 was appointed a special envoy to “facilitate relations between Russia and the United States in the humanitarian field, including cooperation in culture, arts, public and youth exchanges.” It’s unclear what he has accomplished in that role, if anything, as he seems to serve more as a personal cheerleader for the Russian president.
At Putin’s swearing-in ceremony for his fifth term earlier this month, Seagal told reporters, “He’s the greatest world leader, he’s the greatest.”
Does Twitter not allow the spelling out of the words "trafficking" or "sex"?
And what's with the Eddie Munster hairdo?

Oh it's a thing....curated, coifed and arranged.
Brian Bishop, Lone Element Podcast, in one of his early episodes, talks of doing EP work for Seagal. There's a story of him either someplace in Asia or, Dubai, where Seagal, his Arm Candy and entourage go into a mall-jewelry store with crowds all around. The store owner is helping Seagal, puts some jeweled necklace over Seagal's head and the chain scraps his hair pulling off chunks/flakes/sections off . Store owner is mortified, Seagal is irate, who hustles to the bathroom to hide and calm-down. Gives instructions to the entourage via the Arm Candy to go back to the car and get The Kit. The Kit is brought in and 2-hrs later Seagal emerges 'hair' fixed to finish business with the jeweler.

New low? Huh. And here I thought his "acting career" couldn't get any lower.
I mean, when you resort to churning out straight-to-video/streaming B movies where you continue to attempt to play special operations soldiers, yet have to be filmed seated 99% of the time because you're too old and fat to do anything else, that's pretty much rock bottom, no?

Maybe they have the goods on him for something. That or he's completely lost his marbles.

Some platforms do, and it's fucking retarded. Reduces the message to almost baby-levels of expression. Can't say "gun" so you use "pew pews". Can't say "killed" or "suicide", so you say "unalived". And when there isn't a conveniently understood synonym or emoji, you get asterisks in the middle of words.
The future is stupid.

Seagal is bringing attention to a story the MSM and especially Hunter Biden would like to bury. https://archive.ph/B7M7S - Real Raw News covered this issue already. Stories like this should make it obvious as to why Trump does not support Ukraine. I'm voting for the guy who is not complicit in aiding a government run by child sex traffickers.

One of them is a cultural arsonist and grifter, the other is simply a clown.

He never made a movie that wasn't just plain goofy. Mildly entertaining at times as long as you kept the bar low .

His hair looks like glued-on felt.
His movies from the late 80s/early 90s (Above the Law, Hard to Kill, Marked for Death, Under Siege) weren't bad, "popcorn flicks" at the half-price matinee. Everything after the latter movie was shit.

As he seems to be so in love with putain's russia, is there any way that he can be 'disowned' by the country he was born in?
