Is it just me or is #ISIS making the point — in the editorial of its latest issue of Al-Nabaa Magazine — that it wants another ground confrontation w/ the US? It sounds to me that it’s begging it for a ground war. Obviously this is what ISIS wants to revive the Caliphate. — PolitiTweet.org

#Wagner mercs are reportedly using old Syrian heaters/stoves to deal with the cold in #Bakhmut. This video was posted on Wagner News channel on Telegram. My Syrian grandmother used this some thirty years ago. https://t.co/I47lZz2OtD — PolitiTweet.org

@jeffgiesea I agree that not everything is 100%. We are merely not privy to every decision of intel investigations into foreign agents using social media to tilt elections one way or another. We have gov oversight committees to work on ensuring that censorship isn’t taking place. — PolitiTweet.org

Laith Alkhouri @MENAanalyst

@MaxAbrahms Ultimately, these parameters are not perfect. I’m not against investigating LE’s reach into what might or might not be suppressing voices of US citizens. But we must be cognizant that foreign influence ops are massive & we can’t reveal the inner workings how they investigated. — PolitiTweet.org

Laith Alkhouri @MENAanalyst

@MaxAbrahms I wasn’t referring to mere CT. Hunter wasn’t running for election & amplifying news stories by foreign influence ops was the case in point to hurt Biden. IC was working on investigating what might have been foreign influence pushing a story to hurt Biden, not defeat Trump. — PolitiTweet.org

Laith Alkhouri @MENAanalyst

@jeffgiesea News stories of Hunter are not suppressed to push a specific political party ahead, but conversely they are amplified by foreign agents to hurt one party. These parameters are ultimately not perfect but we must be cognizant that the US IC works to suppress foreign influence ops. — PolitiTweet.org

8) One thing to underscore: this is not a partisan issue. And regardless of what political party is leading today, intelligence gathering through social media is part of a collective system to proactively defend, research, analyze and update policies. — PolitiTweet.org

Laith Alkhouri @MENAanalyst

7) Suffice it to say that the social media giants are US companies, on the homeland turf. For the US gov to collaborate with them in targeted investigations and intel gathering on threat actors and foreign influence ops is critical. It’s not forced; it’s a win win. — PolitiTweet.org

Laith Alkhouri @MENAanalyst

6) Because many threat actors use similar or variations of the same user identifiers (user handle, email, phone number), the social media intelligence gathering is many times the first thread in uncovering and extracting further intel beyond the borders of social media confines. — PolitiTweet.org
