The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans
-
A few interesting snippets from the conversation.
nobody knows who the Houthis are – which is why we would need to stay focused on: 1) Biden failed & 2) Iran funded.
Always blame the previous admin.
But, we can easily pause. And if we do, I will do all we can to enforce 100% OPSEC”—operations security.
[...]
In his text detailing aspects of the forthcoming attack on Houthi targets, Hegseth wrote to the group—which, at the time, included me—“We are currently clean on OPSEC.”
LoL, the irony.
VP: I fully share your loathing of European free-loading. It’s PATHETIC.
Well, fuck you too Vice President JD Vance and US Secretary of defence Pete Hegseth.

These idiots actually believe their own propaganda. We're truly fucked

This is one of those things where if the left had the capacity to practice messaging discipline and media coordination they could repeat everyday for the next two months with brutal consequences for the right-wing administration.
But this will be forgotten about by tomorrow

I saw someone post a comment somewhere else in this post something that might be plausible:
You think now that they sent him classified information that his phone and any devices he ever touched are now confiscated?
Good thing he's not like a journalist with sources. Total accident too. Mistakes happen

the russian trolls in that sub will whip them into shape soon.
You mean the mods?

U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.
This is why, when Trump casually drops WW3 threats, I'm over here wondering who here is actually going to try and run this war of his.

They're playing tic-tac-toe and losing even though there is a full-proof strategy to never lose at it.
-
They're at least being performative with each other.
They can’t trust each other, so they all have to keep up the act.

It’s “indicators” like this that tell me, with all the implications of it, the USA is(!) over.
It scares the bejeezus out if me.
For the country; for the globe.
For the country? yeah, we are fucked. Not because of these "leaders", because of the lead.
For the world? Na. This is the only hope for humanity. The USA was never going to help fix the damage we're doing to our habitat. Our fall is the crack in the system that can allow for the needed change.

Candyland.
Still too tough for them to understand.

Anyone taking bets on how long it is until they weaponize this buffoonish gaffe by "accidentally" sending mundane classified, secret or top secret information to opponents in an effort to get them arrested for receipt of restricted documents?

The same loser asswipes that cried about General Milley when he prevented a war against fucking China.

Just think how many countries have live intel on the guy for the simple fact he's an absolute child with a cellphone.
Dude probably installs apps that popup after clicking on an ad.

Thanks for the response and interesting link. I should have worded my initial comment better, I suppose.
What I am saying it that it may be worth considering that the extraordinary nature of the leak warrants a critical analysis of a possible ulterior motive or furtherance of some other agenda.
What I may be, I don't know.
However, for instance, even more than the leak itself, I find it ultimately more relevant that a very anti-European stance was expressed in the coziness of a "private" chat by the senior most national-security officials of the US.

True, but it also seems totally plausible that it could be real conversation from a private chat. Seems like a terrible way to leak a message.

hesgeth is what you call a "functioning" drunk.
Functional implies you can perform your basic job duties. Clearly not the case.

Putting it on personal mobile devices allows it 1) to be more easily exfiltrared to their foreign affiliates, and 2) allows them to get around FOIA. I'm sure most of their actions are being carried out in a similar manner.
Even if we ever do wrest power from them, we will have to go along without ever knowing everything they have broken.
Any regular person attempting to get around FOIA by using a personal phone would be immediately fired and possibly face criminal charges.

Remember Hillary's emails?
I wonder if the people who go on about it actually understood the implications of the email server, or just reacted when Fox told them to.

Yeah, agreed.

Evidence is not proof.
Making a claim is neither. Show me.
The WH confirmed it to various outlets:
