Vladimir Putin addresses Americans directly

By Jeff Allen

Rare is the occassion when a world leader addresses the American public directly.  Regardless of how one feels about Russia, Putin, the Syrian chemical weapons situation, or the credibility of any communication from an ex KGB official, I think it should be incumbent on all news agencies to make such communication accessible...the number of people in this area or anywhere for that matter who read the New York Times is dwindling

My first thought when I heard that Putin had written us was the song from Blues Clues...."We just got a letter, we just got a letter, we just got a letter, I wonder who it's from?"  Then a low monotone voice with a Russian accent says..." A transmission from Vladimir"
