Propaganda narrative: we are in imminent danger of World War 3, and @BillBrowder is helping bring it about. To prevent war, we must oppose him and (possibly reluctantly) support Putin. Let's look at some Twitter accounts committed to the theme.

The first of the accounts we ran across was @Justafool2764. Anti-Browder tweets are a theme of this account, and it interacts with others with the same focus. To identify them, we compared this account's word cloud with those of the accounts it tagged at least 50 times.
We identified four other accounts with a similar focus on Browder and frequent interaction with @Justafool2764: @BrettHar123, @NakedHedgie, @PBateman2011, and @Worldpravda. (The tweets shown in the first tweet of this thread are all from one of these accounts.)
In keeping with the theme that Browder must be opposed and Putin supported to stave off World War 3, the accounts in question show a large volume of traffic for the Browder, Russia, and Putin categories; "war" is prominent as well but to a lesser extent for some.
Finally, here's the one-degree-of-separation retweet network for the five accounts in question. Most of them don't actually retweet outside the network much; @stranahan and @ggreenwald are favorites, but far less prominent than the five accounts themselves.
H/T @schroedingereqn for the lead.
