'Ms Newman,

'In tonight's "Snowmail, concerning Obama's "order" that Putin should not
intervene in the Ukraine, you say:
'"That the Russian president has directly flouted that order suggests to some
that western divisions and paralysis over Syria have now emboldened Putin over
Ukraine."

'The nonchalance with which you talk about the US giving out orders to other
sovereign countries and the implied belligerence of Russia in flouting these
orders reveals a lot about the attitude of our msm [mainstream media] hacks and
the revelation is one of pro-Americanism and demonisation of "official enemies".

'Who'd have thunk it?

'If I may offer a a more accurate translation of your paragraph:

'"Putin isn't the lapdog of America and "some" like arms peddler Sir Malcolm
Rifkind and James Jeffrey, deputy national security adviser to George Bush and
close associate of war criminals Colin Powell and John Negroponte hate him even
more because he stymied the US and Nato in their salivating desire to bomb the
crap out of Syria."

'Time you started informing your viewers and stopped treating them with contempt
as you foist upon them an endless line of hypocritical, deceptive, neocon
warmongerers who should be in jail, not spreading their lies on Channel 4 News.

'Try asking yourself and your guests just what right has the USA, that constant
flouter of international law, frequent fomentor of coups against democratically
elected governments and instigator of the supreme war crime in Iraq the moral
authority to tell anyone, let alone a sovereign country, what to do?
