Sean Penn looks like he’s been hitting the gym and testosterone shots hard.

What a circus, looool !!!..

Is this the same company that produced the heavy on emotion / light on fact film The White Helmets a few years back?

A story straight from the clown world. If Sean believes in the war so much why is he not fighting on the front lines ? I'm sure that there are some Ukrainian conscripts who would be happy for him to take their place.

Sean Penn's documentary may be more powerful than having another person firing a few more bullets around.

Sean has been fighting on the front lines bringing the real story to us while we all sit on our A@@ in Japan - since the beginning of the war.
He wanted to make a documentary about his the involvement of the Ukrainians and how they are fighting the good fight against the Russians. He wants to bring truth to the world of war.
When someone is involved in something significant, the crowd gets jealous and calls the one who is actually doing something in this world ...a clown.
I respect the one who stands up and does something.

Just because he's an actor doesn't mean he's automatically right about this conflict. I say he's wrong. Just my opinion, like his. Russia does not pose a global threat. Ukraine is being used by NATO.
“The United States would not be called upon to act as the policeman of the world. When it acts, it would act in conjunction with others. Incidentally, the combination of manpower from Eastern Europe with the technical capabilities of NATO would greatly enhance the military potential of the Partnership because it would reduce the risk of body bags for NATO countries, which is the main constraint on their willingness to act. This is a viable alternative to the looming world disorder,” wrote Soros in the article.

He wasn't the first celeb to go behind enemy lines and won't be the last, take your pic, nothing overly outstanding, the difference is, he has money, lots of it, and can afford to go to these troubled countries or war zones, I think its a noble thing that he wants to help, but he's not a pioneer in this endeavor.
From his partisan perspective which he is entitled to do, but the man is an actor, he doesn't have a history of being politically fair and straight down the middle.
I don't know a single person who is jealous of Penn, not even a conversation about it.

Sean Penn
What a piece of work he is.

Haha...

Possibly.
It’ll certainly do more than the morally bankrupt apologists for Russia’s invasion you find spamming social media.
That truly is ‘clown world’.

Sean Penn has matured and come a very long way since his days at 'Fast Times' and his marriage to the sex robot Madonna. In 1989 he did 'We're No Angels', it was a good film and he never looked back.
He has done documentaries not just in Ukraine but in Iraq and Haiti. He bravely and openly spoke out against that stupid wasteful Iraq War of 2003 - 2011 and he can say, 'Told you so'. He also spent over a year in humanitarian assistance after the horrible Haiti quake of 2010. He's been through and seen it all firsthand and his documentaries based on his experiences say a LOT. A lot more that the hyper-in-the-diaper hysteria that the American news media loves to spoon-feed to the public.

Yes, but food on my table and allowed me to have a decent lifestyle and millions other across the globe.
You can make that same claim about the NYT, the WP and countless others, too many to count.
That’s the power of money, Soros does the same. Penn uses his money to help people, I respect that, but he’s not the first and only which was my original point.
It’s not a Pink Floyd song, come on now.
I don’t think he risked anything, but again, I do respect that he does do humanitarian work, but once he did that photo op with Chavez and called him a decent guy, I was through with him.

Not at all man.
He was skinny in his 20s and 30s.
He looks like he’s on roids now, and thats wuite obvious.

If the subject of modern tanks for Ukraine comes up, there is a reason why they are asking for them.....to finish the job of expelling the Russians.
With the weapons they have now, Ukraine has made a laughing stock out of the Russian army. However, if they want to quickly rid their country of the Russian invaders, and not just bleed them dry, they need offensive weapons. Modern, Western style tanks will supply the punch needed to accomplish that feat. Russia is completely unable to manufacture modern tanks in sufficient numbers to make a difference in the field. When the allies invaded Iraq, not a single Abrams tank was destroyed by a Russian tank, and the German Leopard is comparable to the Abrams. A number of Abrams tanks were lost invading Iraq, but not due to Russian tank fire.

Imperialist Russia shouldn't have occupied peaceful Ukraine
Ukraine is not a global threat

No. People think this when they see someone jacked, but with hard work, and making it a lifestyle, it's possible to look like Penn without steroids (though he may very well be on testosterone, but that's not a steroid). Having the financial freedom to be able to spend your days working out makes it possible.

"But the water is only lukewarm?!" protested the frog in the pot, confused as to what the worry was.

I do not think that when I see someone jacked. Having spent the majority of my life in gyms and doing sports, he simply looks unnatural to me.
He also has a big fat gut and yet veins popping out his huge arms and the classic roid face. It changes how ur face looks sometimes.

thepersoniamnow, I concur. Penn has the look of the steroid abuser, including the “quality” of the muscles hes displaying. Its very obvious.
