Liam Neeson and his “particular set of skills” appeared on SNL with a very special message for Vladimir Putin

Sheesh, talk about Putin somebody under pressure...

Putin better hire more bodyguards…

It seems that President Obama has finally unearthed his secret weapon in a bid to make Russian President Vladimir Putin see sense in relation to the current situation in Ukraine.

That’s right, he’s brought in retired CIA operative Bryan Mills AKA Ireland’s own, Liam Neeson.

Perfectly spoofing his now infamous phone call speech from the 2008 action film Taken (something that he’ll have to do until the day he dies – if he even can die that is), Neeson delivered Putin a very direct message during his recent appearance on SNL, as well as an Obama-as-action-hero video montage written “in a language [Putin] could understand.”

Sheesh, talk about Putin somebody under pressure…
