Twitter now displays where accounts are from and it has confirmed that too many of the political accounts are out of country bots.

Why are folks still there? To argue with bots? A waste of precious time while enriching the richest man on Earth.

1) Start the worst European war since 1945 and commit every imaginable war crime
2) Decide how you want to be rewarded for your aggression
3) Leak the list of your desiderata to the US press
4) Wait for the US president to enforce your wish list on your victim.

Trump's "peace plan" is a humiliation for Ukraine & Europe!

The peace plan proposed by 🇺🇸 in its current form is unacceptable & European leaders should convey this to US Pres Trump & propose their own approaches
