    Stein agrees with Putin. It suprised me.

    Putin believe the U.S. and NATO started this war with their “expansion” and are to blame. Putin wants the U.S. to stop sending weapons to Ukraine to defend themselves. These are also Stein’s positions and she has no blame for Putin.

    Somehow counties wanting to join NATO for protection against a known aggressor is being aggressive. Swed/Fin did not want to join NATO before the invasion. Putin changed those citizen’s minds.

      She said that it was wrong and illegal and that she didn’t agree with it, in the very video you sent!

      When asked if she felt it was wrong, she said, “Absolutely, yes. It was wrong, it was a criminal act, it’s a violation of international law.”

        You have a habit of leaving out important information, here let me get it for you:

        “Absolutely, yes. It was wrong, it was a criminal.act, it’s a violation of international law. At the same time, this war has been ginned up by the US and NATO expansion towards Russian Territory.

        She’s defending Putin’s actions, clearly.

          I don’t see it that way. She said ““Absolutely, yes. It was wrong, it was a criminal act, it’s a violation of international law.” How do you see that as she is defending his actions?

          Her saying that the US and NATO sucks doesn’t support war.

          I’m not voting for her, so I don’t care. But you’re wrong.

            She didn’t say NATO and the US suck, she said they started it. You are either willfully misinterpreting this or are so disenfranchised from our current political climate that you’re ignoring serious red flags.

              She specifically said she this it’s wrong what Putin is doing, and this it’s against international law. You are either willfully misinterpreting this or are so disenfranchised from our current political climate that you’re ignoring serious red flags.
