Putin welcomes Jon Hunstman as the new US Ambassador to Russia and warned him to follow a policy of “noninterference.” You know, like Russia does for us.

I expect you to be my little bitch just like you president.

Russian President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday told the new U.S. ambassador to Moscow he hoped Washington would follow a policy of “noninterference” in the country’s domestic affairs, amid the ongoing controversy over alleged Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. election. 

Mr. Putin accepted credentials from U.S. Ambassador Jon Huntsman, a former Utah governor and envoy to China and Singapore, in a ceremony at the Kremlin. In remarks to newly arriving diplomats, Mr. Putin said the basis for cooperation between Moscow and Washington should be “strict adherence to the principles of equality, respect of national interests and noninterference in domestic affairs.” 

Allegations of Russian interference in the 2016 presidential race have roiled Washington for months. During Amb. Huntsman’s Senate confirmation hearings last month, he said there was “no question—underline no question—that the Russian government interfered in the U.S. election last year.”

Yes, please do not attempt to interfere in the running of our country, like we interfered in the running of yours.

In other words, do as I say, not as I do.

I used to kind of like Jon Huntsman as one of the least hypocritical of the Republican politicians, but I have lost some respect since the 2008 primaries.

And if he bends over and let's Putin screw him over, I will have lost any residual respect that remains.

We need an ambassador that will call Putin out on his shenanigans, not one that will make nice and ask him pretty please not to interfere in our democracy.
