Re: “Putin firing on all cylinders” (Montreal Gazette, Oct. 8)
Shame on you. Your “clever” headline with the photo of Vladimir Putin in a hockey uniform is as irresponsible as it is hurtful to the millions of people whose lives Putin has negatively affected.
History will show, and if we have the ears and eyes to pay attention many of us already know, that Putin is responsible for many thousands of civilian deaths recently in Ukraine and countless civilian deaths in Syria. By using such a cheeky headline and affording Putin such a large picture, you play into his hands and his need for international recognition and his yearning for respect.
