Twitter's own rules set out what does and does not violate the rules. My opinion is irrelevant.

I know you don't work for Twitter, but the point is Twitter has to be consistent if they want to be seen as an unbiased discussion platform.

If Twitter believe a military leader stating consequences to a foreign regime, or a law officer lawfully stating consequences of breaking the law consistitutes a threat against a group of people, they need to ban all military and police from the platform.

Alternatively, they could state that conducting lawful military and police work, which includes stating the possibility of a response to an action, is not considered a threat. Or that a 'government' or 'people who have broken the law' are not a protected group.
