You have to say it with a heart 
1. We all know about Yoel Roth's involvement in censoring conservative speech & suspending Donald Trump--as revealed in #TwitterFiles--but is he guilty of something maybe even worse?
Did Roth help start &/or escalate &/or materially affect the Russia/Ukraine war?
Buckle up!🧵

2. 1st, we must acknowledge the power of Twitter to affect public mood, action & policy. This idea was, after all, the explicit reason behind banning Donald Trump & others who allegedly "deny" elections &/or "incite to violence." IOW, Twitter has the power to "move the needle."
3. Using a more recent example: Elon Musk waded into the Russia/Ukraine war w/a series of controversial tweets. Why were they controversial? B/c people implicitly understand the power of influence & how it can tip scales one way or another.

En el marco de la conflictividad #geopolítica actual, se emplean los medios convencionales (aviones, carros de combate, piezas de artillería…) en el campo de batalla físico, e instrumentos económicos (sanciones, embargos…) para debilitar y derrotar al adversario.
Pero, además, y de forma cada vez más preferente, se libra otra lucha por el dominio de la mente de las personas: la guerra cognitiva.
Il tentativo della🇷🇺 di ridisegnare i confini dell'🇺🇦 ha scatenato durissime condanne in tutto il mondo, o quasi. In Africa, buona parte dei Paesi ha deciso di assumere un approccio più cauto, di equilibrio tra aggressore e aggredito.🧵

Prima però di parlare di «un'Africa neutrale», è opportuno ricordare che la maggioranza dei Paesi africani (28 su 54) ha approvato il 2 marzo la mozione di condanna dell’offensiva russa all’Assemblea Generale delle Nazioni Unite.

Tuttavia, tra i 34 Paesi astenuti la metà (17) sono dell’Africa (Mali, Sudafrica, Angola, Algeria, Uganda, etc.). L’Eritrea è stata una delle uniche 5 nazioni a respingere la mozione, unendosi a Russia, Bielorussia, Siria, Nord Corea.

1/32 Când a început invazia rusă în Ucraina, am început să colectăm tweet-uri pentru a putea identifica propaganda. Firul (foarte lung) de mai jos acoperă povestea #istandwithrussia și #istandwithputin. Inspirat de munca lui @marcowenjones.
2/ Mai întâi, câteva detalii despre date: am colectat ~210k tweet-uri pentru #istandwithputin, ~120k tweet-uri pentru #istandwithrussia, plus aproximativ 20k imagini atașate. Există o suprapunere semnificativă între cele două hashtag-uri, dar există și diferențe.
3/ Vom încerca să răspundem la „când, cine și ce” pentru aceste două hashtag-uri. Toate rezultatele sunt preliminare.
1/ When the Russian invasion of Ukraine started, we started collecting tweets in order to be able to identify propaganda. The (very long) thread below covers the story of #istandwithrussia and #istandwithputin. Inspired by @marcowenjones' work.
2/ First about the data: we collected ~210k tweets for #istandwithputin, ~120k tweets for #istandwithrussia, plus about 20k attached images. There is significant overlap between the two hashtags, but there are also differences.
3/ I'm going to try to answer the "when, who and what" for these two hashtags. All results are preliminary, still some work planned.
@BethanyCherisse Ok, this will probably get me banned from twitter or crucified - but free speech, right? So here goes:
Look up the Minsk agreements, that specifically stated that there would be no NATO countries or bases on Russia’s borders. All ignored. The only thing I’m surprised at is that >

@BethanyCherisse it took this long for Russia to react. How long do you think the US would have stood by while Russia built up bases in Mexico or Canada? Total hypocrites. But that’s nothing new.
Going back 30 years to Gorbachev and then Putin, Russia has continually asked that NATO move no >

@BethanyCherisse further east towards Russia. They’ve been totally ignored.
Ukraine is not a democracy. They lost the right to be called that when the democratically elected president was removed in 2014 by US backed Ukrainian militia. The current president is just a puppet of NATO and the US >

1/ Just found out this hashtag #IStandWithPutin exists and it seems to be getting more traction.
Disgusting. I'm at a loss for words.
From quick look the people's main arguments are that the west has done similar peace keeping operations in other countries.

2/ Yes this is true 'western' countries have performed similar peace keeping operations in various countries.
But lets try and understand this argument.
Western countries killed people so now we should let Russia kill people????
What kind of logic is this???

3/ If you are against the actions of 'western' countries and their peace keeping operation then you should also be AGAINST Putin's 'peace' keeping operation in Ukraine.

*Why The West Is Pretending To Need India For The War In Ukraine?*

“What is India doing for European security?”
This is the exact question that External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar was asked point blank at the Munich Security Conference last week.

One can think of any number of responses, none of them as civil as what the minister chose to give. Most of all,seriously? After 70 years of arming & supporting Pakistan, the West really wants to ask this question?
