MOSCOW (AP) — Russia is looking at Steven Seagal to be the face of its weapons industry as it guns for first place on the world arms market.

Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin said the action movie star may head up an international marketing campaign to promote the Degtarev arms plant, Russian news agencies reported. He accompanied Seagal on a visit there Tuesday.  

“You’re ready to fight American (manufacturers) with your teeth and your intellect, and if Americans are prepared to promote and support you, that says we’re learning new ways to work on corporate warfare markets,” Rogozin said.

Russian officials are big fans of Seagal, who met President Vladimir Putin in March and claimed to have set up a meeting with Rogozin for a Congressional delegation last week.

        1. Hey AngeL-NYC, Steven Seagal’s first movie “Above The Law” was by far his finest. CIA sponsored Medical interrogation units and assassins was the plot. He soon was part of the “Hollywood Elite” and shit out a number of “B” movies since. This just goes to show you what a worthless Secretary of State John Kerry is when you have the likes of Steven Seagal and Dennis Rodman conducting our foreign policy.

          1. I thought “Hard To Kill” was his best work when he was taking down the corrupt Senator Trent.

            [Storm fires a shot between the Senator’s legs]

            Mason Storm: I missed! I never miss! They must have been smaller than I thought!

            and the writing on the mirror,

            “Anticipation of death is far worse than death itself.”

            Can’t beat that.
