A tweet by State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki Thursday night sparked snarky Twitter responses about the diplomacy of a hashtag – but the tweet really is more evidence of a brewing social media Cold War between the U.S. and Russia.

Jen Psaki ✔ @statedeptspox "The world stands #UnitedforUkraine. Let’s hope that the #Kremlin & @mfa_russia will live by the promise of hashtag"

However, with RT’s reach of 85 million households around the world and no regulations as to how the Kremlin is allowed to influence Russian media, the U.S. government faces challenges in matching Russia’s media reach without violating U.S. freedom of press laws and values

Shouldn't be too much of a problem for Barack Fiat Obama.

Meanwhile, the "promise of the hashtag" phrase is getting well deserved ridicule HERE

Can someone wake me up when we no longer have prepubescent children occupying the White Hut?

“Shouldn’t be too much of a problem for Barack Fiat Obama. “

After all he did say that he has a Pen and a Phone

Don’t start a cyberspace flame war with anyone capable of responding with actual flames.

I literally had to prove to may daughter yesterday that this was not a joke. She was convinced I was trying to punk her.

The Russians were laughing their a***s off about this on Friday, and Russians have pretty much hijacked it.

The world has a fever and the only prescription is more hashtag.

It's even far worse than that. We not only have prepubescent children playing in the White Hut, but we have a once great news organization pretending it's substantive.
