That's quite some hyperbole.
I don't think any state actor or 'player' of significance would be stupid enough to do something terrible based on a tweet. It's much more likely that these actors would consider the account hacked and at the very least do a bit of googling to find out.
And when it comes to specifically the kind of message that you use as an example, it's not like they wouldn't wait to see how it unfolds (Twitter saying their accounts were hacked. message void) and see because immediate action wouldn't be necessary.
Hypothetically, I can see some danger if a nuclear power would respond to a tweet saying "we're launching nukes" by launching a pre-emptive strike. But that's fully in the realm of fantasies hysterics have.
