Just off the top of my head: Russia invaded a country in 2008. Then in 2014. They have poisoned multiple people in England over the same time frame. Then, of course, a big invasion last year. Is it being "duped" to not like that pattern? [Someone will likely say "the US has invaded countries too" and... yes... would you say someone in those parts of the world who doesn't like the US was just duped by their media?]

  One interesting difference is that the US has not (as of yet) tried to illegally annex a large portion of Syria.

    So if Russia would just attack without annexing anything it would be ok?

  Nah, it's that I don't think it's important to censor US content from US media. I think assuming Twitter is "world media" - or that there's such a thing at all - is naive. Even if Twitter wants to be "world media" instead of "US media" they wouldn't win that battle if push came to shove; and someone not in the US should probably be well aware of both the number of people with US interests making decisions at Twitter and whatever local additional restrictions are in place. US content is already censored from a lot of other country media, which I think is understandable.

> the US has invaded countries too How much lebensraum has the US tried to annex recently? Never mind that Ukraine isn't a dictatorship or state-sponsor of terrorism.
