STEVEN SEAGAL’S POPULARITY CRISIS

Steven Seagal has continued his love affair with Vladimir Putin since they bonded over martial arts in 2016. (Seagal opened a martial Arts Academy in Moscow.) Putin granted Seagal Russian citizenship at that time, and deliriously grateful Seagal declared that Putin was “one of the greatest world leaders, if not THE greatest world leader alive today!” Seagal also supports the invasion of Ukraine and accused the US government of “spending billions on lies in the media to discredit morale in Russia.” In February, Putin awarded Seagal the Order of Friendship medal. What’s next?

Elevator Shoes Height Height Challenged Shoes! Vladimir Putin

WHAT ROLE DOES PUTIN’S HEIGHT PLAY IN THIS WAR?

We’re not sure if Vladimir Putin is taller or shorter than Tom Cruise, but he is equally self-conscious about his height. There’s considerable online discussion about the carefully guarded secret of his actual height but the general opinion is from 5’3 to 5’6.” He’s been wearing hidden lifts in his shoes for YEARS – especially in situations where he has to stand next to taller heads of state for photographs. Smaller men have to be more assertive. His ego, which prompts him to wear lifts, is also fueling this aggressive war in Ukraine which has made him the most important man in the world right now.

Donald Trump Vladimir Putin

BEST DRESSED PROTESTER

Creativity should NOT be overlooked, so we felt compelled to post a photo of this brilliant costume worn by a passive protester in New York. It’s devised to look like Vladimir Putin is being carried on the shoulders of Donald Trump. Note the long red tie and tiny hands. Humor is always welcome when making a point…

Portrait Sochi Vladimir Putin

VLADIMIR PUTIN IS EVERYWHERE YOU LOOK IN SOCHI

Much fun has been made of the notion that Russian President Vladimiir Putin photos adorn almost all of the hotel rooms in Sochi in spite of the myriad of problems. Lack of heat, internet, water, door knobs, or even walls, tormented “crybaby American” visitors, but a serious portrait of Putin looking elegant in a suit and tie, is there to greet everyone. Rumors that the Putin photos were gigantic and topless or featured him taming wild animals were purely speculative. But it IS an amusing and personal touch. Wish we were there.
