There was once an era when the adage ‘Pen is mightier than sword’ was all the rage. These days, words are no longer just a result of a hand-held instrument spewing ink, but a result of tapping digital devices as well. With the coming of age or the digital era, politicians have turned to social media to put out their opinions and influence trends. Gone are the days when swords and other weapons were used to sabotage another national Leader’s regime. These days, we have Twitter. The ‘Twitter Arena’ has hosted many of these political wars-of-words. It has garnered more attention ever since US President Donald J. Trump has openly applauded Twitter’s efficiency in delivering messages to the people. Unfortunately, this also involved opening the forum for some snubs. Here are the Top 5 Twitter Wars involving international leaders.
美国与墨西哥：墙战争
美国总统唐纳德·特朗普踢了一个风暴与his US-Mexico border wall promise during his election campaigns. Trump eventually tweeted the following
The Mexican Government probably gave a most gracious response to the situation releasing a statement emphasizing that they will not pay for any border wall, but are willing to help send troops to deal with the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey, just as they did in the case of Hurricane Katrina.
India vs. India: Modi Strikes Back!
两名具有反对意识形态的权力人士对彼此的反应和冷落极为毫不掩饰，这已经不是什么秘密了。忘记印度和任何其他国家。有时，推文让我想知道印度似乎是否需要帮助清除伤口的帮助！
人民党的职能Subramanian Swamy以他从拉古拉姆·拉詹（Raghuram Rajan）到阿伦·贾特利（Arun Jaitley）的各种政府官员的批评推文而闻名，他在国家电视台上被拒绝，他称斯瓦米先生的推文和评论不适合。采访后，Subramanian Swamy的批判性推文似乎谦虚地结束了。
Present USA vs. Past USA: The Race against Racism
It is no secret that the former President and the current President of the United States could not have more differing views on social issues. After the alt-right terrorism in Charlottesville, Pennsylvania, President Trump failed to condemn the perpetrators responsible in a way that did not endorse racism. However, former President Barack Obama sent out a tweet against the hate crime that eventually became the most like tweet in the history of all things tweeted. What a way to shut things down!
Kapil Sharma (Trying and Failing to) war with PM Modi
演员卡皮尔·夏尔马（Kapil Sharma）在Twitter上去了镇上，呼吁他据称面对的不公正现象。尽管它受到了很多媒体的关注，但在Twitter上，世界领导者是第三名，但总理纳伦德拉·莫迪（Narendra Modi）选择远离这场战争。
美国（再次）与中国
President Trump was at it again by tweeting his disappointment towards China.
但是，中国通过发表一篇文章的回答，该文章被广泛分享，因为它要求特朗普总统在Twitter上停止他的“情感发泄”。
