World Renowned Diplomat Steven Seagal Blames the War on 'an Outside Entity Spending Huge Sums of Money on Propaganda'

Whenever major world events seem to be spiraling out of control in a way that are beyond the abilities of a common man like myself to comprehend, I make it my policy to turn to the experts. Specifically, to the entertainment industry. There's no situation so complex that it can't be put in easy-to-digest perspective by a Tweet, a poem, or an Oscar acceptance speech from a Hollywood star. 

And when the issue at hand involves Eastern European geopolitics, the safest bet is turning to my go-to guy on all things Russian, Steven Segal. Sure, his close, personal friend Vladimir Putin is one button-push away from dropping his advisers through a trap door into a pit of fire:

And he attacked a sovereign nation without provocation or cause. But just because one acts like Dr. Evil and vaguely resembles Dr. Evil, doesn't make one evil. At least not in the eyes of one of the finest actors Hollywood had ever produced. 

Source - Action star Steven Seagal — who was banned from Ukraine for five years in 2017 after Russian President Vladimir Putin gave the actor a Russian passport — spoke out on the Ukrainian conflict Monday, saying he looks at both sides “as one family.”

“Most of us have friends and family in Russia & Ukraine,” the action star told Fox News Digital on Monday. “I look at both as one family and really believe it is an outside entity spending huge sums of money on propaganda to provoke the two countries to be at odds with each other.”

“My prayers are that both countries will come to a positive, peaceful resolution where we can live & thrive together in peace,” the 69-year-old added. …

In 2021, Seagal was formally inducted into the Pro-Putin A Just Russia — Patriots — For Truth political party at a ceremony.

He was granted Russian citizenship in 2016, and defended Russia’s leadership for its annexation of Crimea in 2014, calling Putin “one of the great living world leaders.”

See? This is why you turn to the star of "Above the Law," "Hard to Kill," "Marked for Death," "On Deadly Ground" and every other essential early '90s action film with a three-word title. No one else is bringing you this kind of insight. For sure, you're not going to hear this from the Mainstream Media, who are in the pocket of Big Entity, and are making millions putting out this propaganda to provoke war between the members of this otherwise big, happy family. 

Which sort of begs the questions of who this outside entity is, how they've managed to pull this off and what they stand to gain from it. But those answers will come once Steven Segal gets to the bottom of it. The way he did when he played heroic EPA Agent Jack Taggert in 1997's "Fire Down Below" (three words!) and figured out why an evil businessman was dumping massive amounts of toxic waste into the Kentucky ground. And like any environmentally-conscious federal agent, he saved the planet by kicking a mile of ass in a redneck bar.

And there's no reason to doubt a similar whupping is in store for whomever put out the propaganda that tricked Seagal's pal Vlad into launching a full scale invasion of a neighboring democracy. 

Until then, Seagal is playing it down the middle. Like Rob Lowe wearing an NFL shield hat to a football game, he's rooting for both sides of this big family. Just hoping both armies have fun, the way he did the last time Russia launched an all out military assault on another nation. The way a good member of the A Just Russia — Patriots — For Truth should. So the smart move is to keep listening to the man who's got this all figured out.
