> As for the blackmail and war starting you probably couldn't do much with public tweets

Depends how tense the situation already was. A well-timed tweet could be enough to tip things over the edge if both sides were already on the edge, and I don't think we're too far away from that.

Also remember that the soldiers themselves have twitter.

Those tweets can make them more itchy than they already are in a tense situation and nervous persons make more mistakes.
