The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans
-
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 would just like to point out that this is entirely correct, but it’s the Democrats that always shit the bed on opportunities like this, not the left. The democrats have very little to do with ‘the left’ these days. Just sayin’.

It's because the DNC is complicit in the Duopoly.
We keep getting the stick until we elect the "carrot".
The real way to win is to end the Duopoly
Pretty sure your 4 downvotes are from Biden, Kamala, Hillary, and Obama's lemmy accounts.

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.

Maybe ot was a staged leak.
I was thinking this. They plan on disappearing journo's, why not start with a big fish for a really fucking good reason. They probably assume that he is as stupid as they are, and after they dropped juicy story in his lap, he would just run with it and publish something with classified information in it.

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.

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.

Honestly this has kind of been reassuring as it seems that things that are behind the scenes are as dumb as what's on the surface.
It's been a recurring theme of the Trump presidency, past and present, that his tendency to trip over his own shoelaces sets his own agenda back.

So if the leaks are accurate and sincere, they killed people including children in Yemen known it has no long term value just to look cool ?

Demand investigations and consequences.
Stop normalizing idiots!

It's sickening how they genuinely think they're bailing Europe out and deserve compensation for it, when they themselves are a big part of why there's so much instability in the region to begin with.
Is a shake down.

I don’t think anyone would risk to be charged of treason
At some point treason becomes a civil duty. Maybe not this point, but what im worried about is that nobody opposed to the Trump regime is willing to commit treason. Treason is only bad if the people in power are good. If the people in power are bad then treason is a necessity.
Very easy to tell other people to risk their lives

and trump is trying to distract the media with his stupid portrait.

In normal times heads would roll. This is the "buttery males" from Clinton except involving actual classified information.
What would have happened in normal times? Congressional and senate hearings. Cabinet level officials being grilled, and being fired.
And that pales in comparison to what would have happened if the offender hadn't been a cabinet-level official. If a junior officer had discussed something classified and accidentally sent it to a journalist, they probably would have been thrown in prison.
What's just pathetic is that the best you can hope for in this scenario is that for a short while, these people actually do start using secure government communications and SCIFs just to avoid additional embarrassment.
I mean, it’s always been about who the rules apply to, not what the rules are.
Imagine what the response would have been of Scooter Libby had been an Obama appointee.
The hypocrisy is only an escalation in intensity, not a new thing.

remember he passed info on informants and spys of putin, and they were all eliminated shortly after.

The funny thing is that this isn't bigger news. In a sane administration heads would roll.
Msm are purposely not reporting things like these, only his gaffes, like colorado painting of him.

for only 3% of global shipping evidently.
