The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans
-
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?

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:

This is absolutely staggering. I’m still trying to process the fact that senior U.S. officials—people at the highest levels of government—were casually texting war plans over Signal, an app that’s not even approved for classified communications. Not only that, but they accidentally added a journalist to the group chat. And then? Just carried on like nothing happened. No one noticed. No one asked questions. They dropped operational details, discussed strategy, named targets, and then capped it all off with high-five emojis.
It’s not just irresponsible—it’s surreal. This isn’t a parody or a leaked TV script. This happened. They talked about military strikes the same way people coordinate a fantasy football draft. And then, as if to hammer home just how broken our national security culture has become, they celebrated the bombing of a foreign country with emojis. Fire, flags, praying hands, muscle arms. Like they’d just won a pickup basketball game.
What’s worse—what really makes my blood boil—is that nothing will come of it. Nothing. There won’t be hearings. No one will be fired. There won’t even be a slap on the wrist. The fact that a sitting Secretary of Defense might have violated the Espionage Act by leaking sensitive war plans over an unsecured app to a journalist should be a full-blown national scandal. Instead? Silence. Shrugs. Maybe a Fox News segment praising how "tough" the response was.
It’s the normalization of absurdity. It’s government by group chat, with the fate of lives—American and otherwise—being tossed around like a Twitter thread. And the most horrifying part? They all seem to think this is fine. Routine. Standard operating procedure.
This is bigger than partisan politics. This is about the breakdown of basic standards—of competence, of professionalism, of decency. If this doesn’t trigger national outrage, if this doesn’t result in real consequences, then we’ve officially accepted that chaos, recklessness, and emoji warfare are the new norm.
I’m furious. And if you're not, you should be too.
The one cold comfort I take away from this, is that the civil war against Dogey America would end faster than if the bastards were competent.

I'm sure it's considerable. He's never been particularly discreet, and I think Vlad or Ben have the pee tape.
