For all those talking about Russian de-escalation and Russia pausing and wanting to negotiate with Turkey and what not, Russia has been smashing #Idlib all day today non-stop. It wants the offensive to continue.

#Kremlin is never content with waging historical war on just one state, they attack several countries at once.
This time #Estonia is a target of an attempt to whitewash #Soviet totalitarian past.

Being a disinformation researcher now is more fascinating than ever. The nice thing is, so many skills can help. Data science, linguistics, text analysis, image recognition... Look for the incongruous, follow the evidence, keep calm and start digging.

Have you ever seen a barrel thrown from a helicopter until it reaches the ground?
The high-definition video shows the moment when the barrel bomb was thrown from Assad's helicopters until it exploded among civilian homes in the city of Maarat al-Numan.

Disinformation research is more important than ever. But it involves a lot of false starts and dead ends. There is a risk of overhyping and sensationalizing. @benimmo, one of the most respected in the field, let me tag along with him for a few days. nytimes.com/2020/02/09/techn…

Civilian bodies are strewn like so much litter along the destroyed streets in #KafarNoran, west of #Aleppo, following dozens of barrel bombs and airstrikes from the Russian and regime warplanes and helicopters. 9 people were murdered and 15 others injured.

My trip to hell. "Workers revealed that they are under orders to clean the disposable sheets that patients die on. The sheets are then returned to the wards. The policy is enforced even if the patients died of tuberculosis or other infectious diseases."

Thread for tankies. It was the same for Estonians, Latvians and Lithuanians and other nations “liberated” by the Sovs and today justified by Russia.

Assad have been using the same tactic since the start of the revolution in 2011. Hamza Al-Khatib, a 14 yr old who was arrested in the early days in Daraa was returned to his family as a corpse with horrifying torture marks on his body.

For those unfamiliar with Syria, these videos aren't "leaked" by any stretch. They're purposefully allowed to scare the public in regime controlled areas to submit and never dissent and those in liberated areas in Idlib to flee Assad's wrath

People, please stop spreading conspiracy theories. Some of you should be smarter than this.
Let me debunk this conspiracy theory floating around suggesting spike in SO2 emissions in Wuhan is due to massive burning of bodies
