4 months agoreally? can you link that? i’ve been arguing about this irrelevant photo for over half a decade and this is the first i’ve heard it was the head table.
damn. i have watched that interview a dozen times and missed that it was the head table. what i did hear (and transcribed just now while watching it) was:
“war has failed in the middle east”
“we need a peace offensive”
“there was no interpreter”
“no introductions were made”
“it was a chance to lift up a different point of view about US … as well as Russian foreign policy.”
“I spent the dinner talking to the german diplomat”
“i wasn’t paid a penny.”
“i declined sponsorship”
“nothing happened at that dinner”
“that picture circulates without a single fact”
“i was there with a number of peace advocates”
i’m sure you can understand how i found it forgettable that it was the head table, and i hope you can forgive my assertion that it was not.
