MOSCOW — 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.

I can see how Putin and Segal would get along, Putin, a sixth degree black belt in karate, wrestles bears and rides horses shirtless...Segal, a grand master in Aikido, claims to be Italian ...and sometimes Asian, teaches legendary MMA fighters how to fight, claims to be a reincarnation of the Dali Lama. Two complete posers, match made in heaven. I wonder if Putin is aware of Segal's reflex response of shitting himself when the going gets tough in a fight? Hope he doesn't try sparring with him.

You gotta be kidding. You'd trust Eaglesnack to sincerely look out for Canada's best interests. How many knife wounds have you got in your back so far?

Nikolay Kulemin? Vet him first!

Eagle Snack has a rubber knife. If his IQ were a bit higher that in 80, he might be able to put REAL insults together.

"Salty" ain't much of a repertoire.
