Social media influencer (and Elon Musk fanboy) with 1.5mil Twitter followers made his unfortunate tweet yesterday. A few hours later Ukraine would sink yet another Russian warship in the video. In fact, in the video he included in his tweet, of the five large surface vessels shown, four of them have already been sunk, according to Twitter's community note that linked to the verified sinkings.
It's not the first time Wallace has courted controversy (and gross stupidity) as he's often been linked with assorted crypto currency scams. This latest self-own is just par for the course with him. And if he looks like a douchebag to you that's because he is.
Wallace would later slag Twitter's community notes as part of the MIC (Military Industrial Complex), I kid you not.
Replies were not kind.
Are you still stuck in 23 Feb 2022?

Wow! You are dumb. Russia has thrown everything it has against Ukraine for 2 years. They are now hiding behind a vast set of fortifications. Instead of trying to defeat Ukraine they are struggling to hold on to what they have. Another year or two of war, and Russia is f*****d!

Morons like you are always impressed by these choreographed, no-OPFOR military exercises and the footage from them. How did this work in real life? 400K russians dead, ~10K armored vehicles gone. A few hundred aircraft destroyed. Black Sea fleet rendered ineffective.
