Steven Seagal spoke
to the Russian state-owned
newspaper Rossiyskaya Gazeta
coming out in favor
of Vladimir Putin
calling him "one of the great
living world leaders"
and that he "would like
to consider him
as a brother."
He might even become
a Russian citizen.
In Russia
Seagal's popularity
has never waned
and his movies
still draw millions of rubles
at the box office.
A potentially great
comedic pairing
it could be
with Putin teaching Seagal
the soft side
of posing for photo ops
riding shirtless on a horse
and Seagal showing Putin
the coolest Aikido moves
for single-handedly
promoting "martial" law.
