I hope so, Seagal is at least as competent as Shoigu. They won't even have to change the letterhead stationery.

Lol, I doubt that. Segal is just a big fan of dictators. Guess he's just doing the rounds again.

I don't know man. Lukashenko's been a huge fan for decades and still doesn't have his general position.

Why would Putin give him what he wants? Then Lukashenko would start salivating over a new position like Putin's seat. In a dictatorship, the devoted and weak get promoted, not the motivated.

Tell that to Lukashenko, not me lmao. He still thinks he's gonna be a big general.
