1/n LET’S PLAY GLOBAL THERMONUCLEAR WAR!!!!
Well as my last attempt⤵️to #StopTheWar in #Ukraine failed to get any traction I thought my 2nd attempt should start with a bang or in the words of #DrStrangelove"How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb"

2/n It seems I am not scary enough to scare sense into some participants of the current war, I thought trying to use a selection of #GNUTerryPratchett words from #Discworld #Jingo & #Hogfather along with some horrors of war concepts might persuade #WarCriminals in the conflict
3/n that a better path might be available to them and others if the war ended quickly but as another Author @Kurt_Vonnegut said of horrors in another War #SoItGoes🤷♂️
I started with the words
“LET’S PLAY GLOBAL THERMONUCLEAR WAR‼️‼️”
From the #WarGames film

(1/5) Of CPEC & Afg: Linking stories of old silk routes & the dawn of Eurasian Century — A perspective by Dr Talat Shabbir in a session moderated by Mr Salman Javed, is in fact, a detailed snapshot of region, at the center of which, lie Silk Roads!

(2/5) "Silk Route is basically an ancient route connecting East Asia, Africa & Eastern Europe. Mr Xi Jinping's concept of rejuvenation [#BRI] is attached to #Chinese nostalgia; its culture & shared values advocacy to stay connected worldwide", says Dr @TalatShabbir3
(3/5) While reflecting on the emerging #WorldOrder, Dr @TalatShabbir3 states, "World Order — Theory of #Realism is significant, as I understand, it's a realist world — realist paradigm's chief consideration is power & unfortunately, power has no morals".

It's been hard for me to watch #CDNmedia coverage of the 2 Michaels, knowing there's a pointless media blackout that's resulted in widespread #disinformation & exploitation by partisan actors

Canada has become a laughing stock to our global partners due to #CDNmedia suppression of facts about Spavor & Kovrig, that are available to everyone else in the world, including 🇨🇦, if we only bothered to google

I've known facts about the #2Michaels for some time & I declined to share earlier so it wouldn't impact Spavor & Kovrig's trials in #China. But that collective ignorance is being weaponized against voters & both sides have been disingenuous in recent news

It's important to know what to be concerned about, who's behind it & why they'd target #CDNpoli

3/4 If you read those links in their entirety, you'll see it's no small propaganda op. We're talking about a nearly identical repeat of history, by decedents of the original Chinese Tang Dynasty via parallel political/military conditions that cover everything from Iran to Uighurs
There are a lot of people currently afraid of the impending regulatory clarity from @USOCC Brian Brooks and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC). #cryptocurrency = wild west since 2009, we've witnessed extraordinary growth, and extraordinary amounts of fraud.
En réalité, on ne sait pas exactement qui a cracké #EncroChat. La raison ? La conception du malware étatique est couverte par le secret de la défense nationale
J'avais tweeté dans un premier temps un peu vite que c'était les gendarmes du département Informatique électronique (#INL) qui étaient à l'origine de l'outil exploitant la faille.
Si ce sont bien eux qui ont décortiqué les téléphones EncroChat, le communiqué se garde bien de préciser quel service a développé le malware
