Stepping up its war on gangs, El Salvador sent 10,000 soldiers to seal off a crime-ridden suburb of the capital city. Rights groups have already expressed concern over the government's tactics. pic.twitter.com/bNsqPILEO7— DW News (@dwnews) December 4, 2022

Context: The CIA intern picked the wrong tweet to unleash the bot farm on. It's totally natural to talk about Iran in some tweet about El Salvador.

    Remember the Cuba posts? Same style and quantity (but were posted to a lot more than just one thread).

    I also think this looks similar to the mass quantity of posting that happens under posts by DSA's International Committee twitter too when the feds deem the posts to be too spicey.

    Part of their goal I suspect is to use overwhelming quantity as a means of being the ONLY topic of discussion. Even if people recognise the botting the things the bots are talking about become the only topic and all others get pushed out.
