I've been very concerned with all the noise russia is making about a 'dirty bomb'. And then I realized something that put my mind at ease for the first time in days.

Just a few weeks ago, many of us were echoing Ukraine's request: Do not fall prety to nuclear blackmail. 🧵 1/ We said, 'Pay no attention to the Kremlin's not-so-veiled nuclear threats.' Sure. But then what happened? We started paying attention to them.

How did that happen? Indirectly. *Reflexively*.

Remember the russian doctrine of reflexive control? Yes, we are being played—again. 2/

5. Answer that message with a 6. Don't just write 6, answer the specific message. Otherwise the bot keeps repeating 'Enter a cipher only'.

He once described an ambassador as "a mind that functions at six guinea-pig power". Ouch!
