Trump Neurosis Thread

This seems to be characterized as "an accident..."  rather than a deliberate act of "leaking"... it is also all an allegation by the press... which will be carried an amplified by more 'talking head' embellishment and press narrative-flummery.  And the show continues,

Otherwise "Top US officials shared Yemen war plans"  constitutes a literal violation of US law, and actionable within some contexts as grounds for 'traitor' and 'foreign agent' accusations.

I know they weave a great tale with the usual "unnamed sources," "sources who should know" and "confidential informants"... ALL crimes will be alleged for your clicks and consumption, as well as "narrative" development.  But they mean absolutely nothing if they only serve as 'entertainment'(expect perhaps fodder for future misinformation purposes.)

But unless I see someone who isn't a media word-faucet or a celebrity personality making a (paid?) claim of factual knowledge... this exercise in hearing the howls of media productions seem like a weak thing to rely on for facts and truth.

... and Democrat "whoever" should measure their words... because people in todays age actually do remember OTHER such "outrages" for which they share quite the equivalent blame.

And no, I at least, don't "defend group ideologies"... life is not court... and labels are only surface... whatever it is that "MAGA" as a group is, it's not in my domain.

What I try to do is understand... and weed out the distractions.

An "accident"?

Yes.

No one is claiming it was deliberate.

Just incompetent.

And the evidence it happened seems clear.

Is this not the tiniest bit utterly embarrassing?

[Oldcarpy2]

No idea what happened to my last post! Apologies.

[Maxmars]

Nah...  It would be embarrassing if it never happened before... but it has... often... and all over the world... everywhere where the media exists. 

"The leak" or "accidental" release of strategic information is very commonly executed with a deliberate purpose... usually political - although there are other uses for it.

Really?

It's obviously a massive cock up!

Sarcastic or not I was looking forward to the peanut gallery's opinion of this news story... LOL not disappointed 

Not a good look for Hegseth...but it seems a tad overblown...

And see how everyone's talking about how they went about bombing Yemen rather than should they have bombed Yemen?


Edit: And still are. Don't think it's "over", just because the news isn't highlighting it. "The American strikes on the rebels, who threaten maritime trade and Israel, entered their 10th day without any sign of stopping." AP News

This brings up a damn good point we aren't getting a lot of info, compared to other American military exercises

Though Ive seen some pics on X.com or maybe Im just not plugged in

 Hegseth speaks out and calls it a hoax from The Atlantic like all the other "sus" articles over the years....

BREAKING: Sec defense Hegseth on The Atlantic report: Reporter: Can you share how your information about war plans was shared with a journalist? Hegseth: So you are talking about a deceitful and highly discredited so-called journalist who has made a profession of peddling hoaxes

The planned visit has been met with anger in Greenland, with outgoing Prime Minister Múte B. Egede calling it part of the U.S.’ “very aggressive” bid to seize the Arctic island.

“We are now at a level where this cannot in any way be characterized as a harmless visit from a politician’s wife. … The only purpose is to demonstrate power over us,” he said.

One more time, why Greenland? This is so unnecessary.

This is kinda like a Biff Tannen like blockhead taking the nerd's lunch money. Like the geopolitical equivalent of "Quit hitting yourself, dork, quit hitting yourself!"

I just hope he's impressing Putin like he wants.

Ah, fake news, is it?

I seem to recall Republicans going mental about Hillary (not a fan!) doing something similar.

Will DJT be calling for those involved to be locked up?
