    The point is that literally sitting near someone is not evidence of anything.

    Stein comes out better in this comparison because we can be certain Biden and Putin would have been able to hear each other speak.

      You’ve got it completely wrong.

      Biden and Putin were in an adversarial setting. They were not there as friends.

      Stein, on the other hand, was there as friends of RT, the Russian state propaganda system, and was considered such a good friend of the propaganda machine that they sat her with Putin.

      You see how that’s worse, right?

        Oh, she obviously a useful idiot who has no concept of political optics.

        That doesn’t make her a Russian asset.

          No, her pro-Russian stances make her a Russian Asset. The diner’s and such are just where she bends the knee.

            You can be anti war and anti American hegemony without being pro Russian.
