Twitter used to be a feed full of timely news when things were happening. Now I can choose “Following” which is full of non-experts pretending to be war correspondents, or “For You” which is relevant tweets from 5hrs ago.
Difficult for those who didn't live in that world to imagine 4 to 6 U.S. networks with multiple fully-staffed bureaus around the world.
Breaking international news stories would deliver live, updated satellite reporting by veteran reporters who disdained punditry.
Gone & missed.
Shouldn’t have to point this out but take everything you hear tonight with many grains of salt. If you’re in the US probs best to hold off on any judgment until tomorrow morning.
If I were trying to hold onto new claims of conquest, I would simply not have my regular forces antagonize my mercenaries to the point where it plausibly spills over into a shooting war between various regulars and mercenaries needed to hold the line against a counter-offensive.
Important to note that there has so far been 0 footage of the reported Wagner convoys or that they have crossed the state border. Hopefully, we will see some footage of *something* soon.
A real-time crisis—like this possible coup in Russia—is exactly the moment when one needs verified accounts to filter out news from bullshit rumors.
This is also exactly the moment to remember that @elonmusk has burned this once-useful information ecosystem to the ground.
