All I know about selling arms is what I saw in Lord Of War. Not a bad movie even though it has Nic Cage in it. He kind of makes it work actually. Throw in Jared Leto and Ethan Hawke and you have a pretty good movie. Steven Seagal is apparently going to start selling guns for the Russians. Well, not actually selling them, but going to be the face of the Russian arms industry. Yes, the man who is more well known now for his bloating than his acting is being paid a ton of money to go out to the world and convince them to buy arms from Russia.
Is this for realsies?
ReplyDeleteSo he's helping to sell arms to those who are our enemies? Aren't there laws about this? I assume he's an American citizen.
ReplyDelete@SusanB Some American companies in the aerospace and defense industry actually sell to countries who are "enemies" of the U.S. You can check transcripts of these companies' earnings calls or their public filings with the SEC. This business pretty much explains why we're all kinds of messed up.
DeleteI'm entirely too distracted by that... thing on his head.
ReplyDeleteHe looks like a Romulan (from Star Trek). I knew I'd seen that look before.
DeleteRomulan
That toupee is hiding multiple firearms.
ReplyDeleteYeah, what the hell is on his haid?
ReplyDeleteHis kids must be so proud.
ReplyDeleteHe's, interestingly enough, become sort of like a shaman for MMA fighters. A world champion, Anderson Silva, sought him out for his (Chinese movie lip dub) AWESOME KARATE KICKS AND CHOPS.
ReplyDeleteI assume the commercials will be played for laughs, cuz that "hair" (?) on his head is HIGHlarious.
ReplyDeleteWould you buy a used S-300 air defense missile from this man?
ReplyDeleteHe kind of looks like Stalin.
ReplyDeleteI think that thing on his head is a Weapon of Mass Destruction.
ReplyDeleteand now he has caused the Buddha to suffer. Asshole.
ReplyDeleteIs anyone aware if the sbsolute crap Russia manufactures? Very poor quality and practically useless. Like buying weapons kids made out of clay.
ReplyDeleteHa! That scum bag does look like a Romulan! Anyone who hangs out with Putin has no ethics whatsoever.
ReplyDeletePlease the US has been selling arms to its enemies for years. Hell, the CIA trained Afghanistan military and then abandoned them in their war vs. Russia.
ReplyDeleteLord of War is a pretty good movie. I caught it late one night and was enthralled. It's Nicholas Cage before the ill-take-any-movie-thrown-my-way-itis...
ReplyDeleteI m sure the Russian military lobby will find him all the underage girls he wants, he fits right there with Depardieu
ReplyDeleteWorst.toupee.ever.
ReplyDeleteAge of consent in the Russian Federation is 16.
ReplyDeleteBut what we are all dying to know is if the Vlad will be posing shirtless with him??
