the offending tweet was likely made as a reply (the @ match). The original tweet said "Some Russian soldiers say they are given a weapon and sent straight in. Learn on the job."
The pun was that Russian soldiers are not learning on the job, they are dying on the job. It's a completely normal observation to make.
The ellipsis at the end also indicate a pun/correction. An actual death wish would more likely end with exclamation points.
But the Twitter algorithms misinterpreted the pun as a death wish, and the OP somehow didn't remember making it. This sounds like the most likely explanation.
No, it's a pun! As originally pointed out here:
