Let’s check back in on Beirut narratives being amplified by Kremlin-friendly operators yesterday, plus then look at some other things that are happening. /1 https://twitter.com/mollymckew/status/1290780905557106691
First off, just want to flag that a lot accounts in same narrative network are amplifying video of a fire in the UAE. /2
One step further, there is a push to link Beirut to the fire in UAE and another one in Iraq, implying they are connected events and amplifying a sense of uncertainty and panic. (No evidence these are connected events)

Otherwise on RT and Sputnik, relatively tame disaster coverage, light implications that Lebanon is tanking its own investigation. In interviews, the RT “experts” are often asked or imply that Beirut could be an attack, sure, why not? /4
Proxy Zerohedge is mostly back to Zerohedge regular programming, charming mix of antivax, market info, BUY GOLD, pro-Kremlin content. ZH highlights POTUS called Beirut an attack. /5
It’s a lot crazier over here in Assadist paradise, where this disgusting account that should have been banned years ago is saying Beirut was a nuclear attack by Israel. /6
