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'
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.
