Chaos on TwitterX as they roll out a new change which shows the location of the user and inadvertently reveal how many fake accounts there are and how much foreign interference.

Earlier a vocal Scottish independence campaigner was outed as an Iranian account. Then there’s this pro Trump one:

Dumbest Senator of the Year: Tommy Tuberville The Republican senator from Alabama spent 2023 turning himself into one of the most hated men in Washingtonβ€”even by members of his own party.

And even got his own article about being dumb:

The War between Russia and Ukraine is a violent and terrible one that, with strong and proper U.S. and Ukrainian LEADERSHIP, would have NEVER HAPPENED. It began long before I took office for a Second Term, during the Sleepy Joe Biden Administration, and has only gotten worse. If the 2020 Presidential Election was not RIGGED & STOLEN, the only thing the Radical Lett Democrats are good at doing, there would be no Ukraine/Russia War, as there wasn't, not even a mention, during my first Term in Office.
Putin would never have attacked! It was only when he saw Sleepy Joe in action that he said, "Now is my chance!" The rest is history, and so it continues. I INHERITED A WAR THAT SHOULD HAVE NEVER HAPPENED, A WAR THAT IS A LOSER FOR EVERYONE, ESPECIALLY THE MILLIONS OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE SO NEEDLESSLY DIED. UKRAINE "LEADERSHIP" HAS EXPRESSED ZERO GRATITUDE FOR OUR EFFORTS, AND EUROPE CONTINUES TO BUY OIL FROM RUSSIA. THE USA CONTINUES TO SELL MASSIVE SAMOUNTS OF WEAPONS TO NATO, FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UKRAINE (CROOKED JOE GAVE EVERYTHING, FREE, FREE, FREE, INCLUDING "BIG" MONEY!). GOD BLESS ALL THE LIVES THAT HAVE BEEN LOST IN THE HUMAN CATASTROPHE! President DJT

The Ukraine β€˜peace plan’ distracts from the real issue: why Russia’s desperate to keep fighting Say what you will about President Trump’s methods, but his wish to end Russia’s war is genuine. The problem is Moscow doesn’t want peace in Ukraine, it wants Ukraine in pieces. A panicking Vladimir…

The 28-point wishlist from the kremlin is sucking oxygen out of every newsroom.

Meanwhile, we have 11 years of evidence that russia doesn’t want peace in Ukraine, it wants #Ukraine in pieces

Ukraine and Europe have rejected Trump proposals to give up territory to Russia. Any territorial discussions can only take place after a truce.
