It depends how close to war the belligerents are before such tweets.

Could a Trump tweet (real or fake) cause a pivotal escalation in a series or escalations leading to war? I think probably yes.

No, that's not how international relations work. Really not.

May be different for internal politics. Since people are often irrational.
