Should somebody call NATO and mention that Chris Brown may be using Twitter as a weapon of mass destruction?

The Grammy winner is armed and loaded with Twitter verbal ammunition. 

(Members of the jury: Exhibit A and Exhibit B.)

His latest target? WWE star CM Punk. Let's crawl into the trenches…

To be fair to Brown, it was the pro wrestler who fired the first shot.

Yesterday, the WWE star tweeted, "I would like @chrisbrown [to] fight somebody that can defend themselves. Me curb stomping that turd would be a #wrestlemania moment."

Oh, no he didn't! Naturally, his scatological foil felt the need to respond:

"Positivity regardless of how u feel! @CMpunk contact my assistant and I'll have em send u an autographed pic for my biggest FAN!!!"

Brown also apparently unleashed this scorcher, which appears to have been deleted:

"@CMpunk needs more followers. He's such a leader! Not to mention the roids he's on has made it utterly impossible for him pleasure women."

The wrestler hasn't retaliated yet, but should these two start busting out those sleeper holds and figure-four leg locks?

At least Brown also has been using Twitter to unveil some not-so-threatening news: Yesterday, he raised eyebrows by announcing his musical collaboration with ex-flame Rihanna on a remix of "Birthday Cake," while she in turn tweeted news of her cameo in a remix of his hit "Turn Up the Music."

Whether people will be able to ignore his notorious 2009 assault on her, though, is another matter.
