No idea. I don’t see anything about it on the first page.
No. At least not in this community. If you follow multiple news communities on Lemmy then you’re going to get some overlap, of course.
But what’s seriously, seriously predatory is the fact that Stein is a Putin backed, spoiler candidate that has every incentive not to have a ceasefire. Remember this…
This was debunked back when it came up in 2017 (?) There’s a good article about it here. The summary is that Stein was there as a guest of RT (Russia Today), because they were one of the few news outlets that covered her candidacy. The Senate Intelligence Committee investigated her and found no wrongdoing.
A campaign spokesperson told Newsweek that Stein “attended at her own expense to spread a message of peace and diplomacy” and gave a speech in Moscow “in which she criticized the excessive militarism of both Vladimir Putin and U.S. leaders.”
Speaking to The Intercept in 2017, she said the notion that it was an “intimate roundtable” was “mythology,” and that Putin and his associates “weren’t at the table for very long.” Stein said that “nobody introduced anybody to anybody” and that she “didn’t hear any words exchanged between English speakers and Russians” due to the lack of a translator.
Stein said that Putin had appeared to make a speech and left immediately after. “Nobody cared to make introductions. This wasn’t intended to be a discussion of any sort,” she told the outlet.
It’s dinner. Vladimir Putin sat down with a know-nothing third tier candidate, no words were exchanged and she was just there to promote peace and diplomacy. He split before they could ever meet.
I’m glad that was clarified for us because it could have been confusing.
