The Greens, which made enormous gains in the local elections, were repeatedly accused by their rivals and sections of the media of engaging in 'Muslim sectarianism'
she did not have dinner with putin. this is misinformation
You’re looking at the picture. Both Stein and Putin are sitting at the same table. There is food in front of both. Are you claiming the photo is fake? Or are you playing word games where the meal was something like “lunch” instead of “dinner”?
That explanation isn’t helping her cause or that of the Greens. She actively went to a celebration of the Russian state propaganda machine, that is mistake #1. Then, according to you, she made a choice to continue to sit silently a table with Putin. She could have either kept quiet, stood up and removed herself, or she could have exercised some statesmenship and when presented with the President of Russia, challenge him on his policies of invasion of the sovereign country of Ukraine killing its citizens and kidnapping its children in the Donbas.
are you brave enough to berate the president of a despotic oligarchy to his face on his soil? knowing your own countries media won’t even give you a 2 minute spot?
First, I’m not stupid enough to go to Russia to celebrate their propaganda apparatus like she did. Second, I notice you selectively ignored the other option of her just standing up and walking away.
You’re working very hard to craft some kind of narrative trying to convince us she has repeated poor decision making (a bad quality for a President). Are you trying to do that because the other, more likely scenario, is the reality she’s willing tool for Russia?
This tweet from her matches Russian political positions. Especially considering that Russia had seized almost 1/3 of Ukraine when she tweeted this. It was particularly tone deaf on Stein’s part because Ukraine had surrendered its nukes, and its reward was being invaded by the country it gave the nukes to.
she went to a dinner hosted by one of the few networks that didn’t try to ice her out of politics, and while she was there, putin sat at the table for a few moments.
Can I ask what the event in question was? I’ve legitimately not heard of this before, but I’d not heard of Putin attending any sort of event in the US before, at least not in any recent history.

he didn’t eat with them at all. he sat down for a few moments, said nothing to stein, nor she to him, and he got up.

she speaks out against Russia. there is no world in which she is working for them

did Russia give up it’s nukes? this is clearly not in line with Russia
Can you explain?

iirc it was an anniversary of rt (50th maybe?). and it was in Russia.
Isn’t RT state run?… Meaning there’s every reason for Putin to be expected there?
Was this at least before the war in Ukraine, if not the annexation of Crimea?
Steins dinner with Putin was in 2015, so post invasion of Crimea and over a year into Russian “little green men” invading the Donbas.
