This was a mistake but no classified data was compromised and the mission was a total success. The exact text was not released so I do not know the extent of the text but from what u saw it was a general discussion about whether or not it should be attempted. Certainly not in the same realm as purposely building an unsecured mail server and store it in your bathroom and then purposely deleting all the data from it in direct disregard of a court order. The mission was a success so this is a learning experience tat hopefully will never happen again.
What's it going to take for you to stop believing their lies? Hegseth pretended it never happened, even after the White House had confirmed it had. You're basing your beliefs on what you haven't seen and what you want to believe.
You really think explaining the next couple of hours of the attack wasn't classified?
"Pete Hegseth TEAM UPDATE:
TIME NOW (1144et): Weather is FAVORABLE. Just CONFIRMED w/ CENTCOM we are a GO for mission launch.
1215et: F-18s LAUNCH (1st strike package)
1345: “Trigger Based” F-18 1st Strike Window Starts (Target Terrorist is @ his Known Location so SHOULD BE ON TIME) — also, Strike Drones Launch (MQ-9s)
1410: More F-18s LAUNCH (2nd strike package)
1415: Strike Drones on Target (THIS IS WHEN THE FIRST BOMBS WILL
@goaded I saw all this. there is nothing specific about this. Saying the mission is a GO did not give the Houthis much of an advantage. As I said, the mission was successful and this is a nothing burger. The Trump administration will investigate to find out exactly what went wrong and it will never happen again.
Two hours notice that bombers are heading towards places you hang out isn't an advantage?
Trump's people think the only thing that went wrong was that they included a journalist on their illegal conversation. That probably won't happen again, but it won't stop them breaking the presidential records act, as they were taught to by Project 2025.
Once more for the people who didn't read the Hur report: "... for the reasons summarized below, we conclude that the evidence does not establish Mr. Biden's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. Prosecution of Mr. Biden is also unwarranted based on our consideration of the aggravating and mitigating factors set forth in the Department of Justice's Principles of Federal Prosecution. For these reasons, we decline prosecution of Mr. Biden.
... It is not our role to assess the criminal charges pending against Mr. Trump, but several material distinctions between Mr. Trump's case and Mr. Biden's are clear. Unlike the evidence involving Mr. Biden, the allegations set forth in the indictment of Mr. Trump, if proven, would present serious aggravating facts. Most notably, after being given multiple chances to return classified documents and avoid prosecution, Mr. Trump allegedly did the opposite. According to the indictment, he not only refused to return the documents for many months, but he also obstructed justice by enlisting others to destroy evidence and then to lie about it. In contrast, Mr. Biden turned in classified documents to the National Archives and the Department of Justice, consented to the search of multiple locations including his homes, sat for a voluntary interview. and in other ways cooperated with the investigation."
Trump didn't stand trial for that crime because he spent millions in donor funds on lawyers, the judge twice exceeded her authority in the case (as determined by the appeals court), she slow-walked the whole thing, and Trump's SCOTUS upended the concept that nobody is above the law in the United States.
What do you mean "it[ ]gives no specific time"? It gives the times to the minute! "TIME NOW (1144et): Weather is FAVORABLE. Just CONFIRMED w/ CENTCOM we are a GO for mission launch.
That's bad, they gotta fix that and maybe he gets the Ax. One can imagine how screwed up the hand off is, after losing many people. Whom gave him that list? How secure is it?
However, thankfully didn't come close to being an Afghanistan pullout disaster, by good fortune. That was really bad and people died and are wounded forever.
I said before... a nuke can go off. It wouldn't take much of a mistake at this point, or even an irate person, to blow up a city. It is high time for a major disaster...
Can the white house make it one week without embarrassing itself on the world stage? It's like watching swaggering lager louts on a council estate taking a dump in a playground then sticking their fingers up to show how untouchable they are. If any other country behaved like that their ambassadors would be working overtime trying to smooth things over.
There is a reason why things become newsworthy. When I was in London, I couldn't even use your people's public transportation app, because it had been hacked AND money was stolen from its users. Why did this not make world news? Because, Brits screwing up is not news to anyone.
Is he really comparing a major white house fuck up that not only puts lives at risk but destroys international relations with an insignificant hack on tube tickets? I don't think that was even reported outside of London
@purplepoppy Why, yes, I believe he is. My daughter lives and travels in London daily and she didn't even mention it, it was so insignificant.
Meanwhile, given two hours notice of potentially being bombed, you can stroll away from the target area and probably be safe. With time enough to pack your belongings, first.
@goaded@purplepoppy American public officials were having water cooler talk on an instant messaging app. It's only a major event because the fake news wants it to be. Meanwhile, your public transportation system isn't safe because someone might dip into your bank account. And you act like we're the ones who are dumb as shit? Please, go look in the mirror.
@goaded The UK government is responsible for terrorists stealing money from innocent people and your argument is that it's not a big deal because it wasn't in the World News. You're the kind of idiot they target with stories like this -- you clearly don't even understand what a security breach actually is.
@Douglas1180 You're pretending you don't have criminals in the United States? Some of them are running the country right now, breaking the Presidential Records and Espionage Acts, grabbing and disappearing legal residents from the streets.
And you think a company getting hacked is equal to that.
@goaded You know what you should do besides sitting on GaG pretending you understand American government? You should go subscribe to the Atlantic. Click the button that says "Click here to read the American attack plans and give your money to a failing magazine, dumbass.'
When @SmokinAces2000 asked if "Biden was wrong to withdraw troops from afghan the way he did?"
Your response? I saw 2 comments on separate threads. Here they were:
"Trump was planning to leave by last May"
Or another said:
"Would it have been better or worse, if they'd left back in May like Trump negotiated with the Taliban (ignoring the Afghan government)?"
And half the Gaggers voted that there was nothing wrong.
--- Let's apply it here. Was Waltz wrong for inviting the Journalist to the group chat?
A hypothetical response from Goaded would be like this:
"Kamala Harris would've written that there are 0 attacks happening because 'no US soldiers are were stationed anywhere during Biden presidency,' and that would've ruined the attack. Therefore, at least, Waltz did less harm than the alternative would've. Therefore Waltz is the good guy."
@blackeagle007 The only people who should be embarrassed are the ones who think its a national security crisis when two American officials speak offline about a bunch of Neanderthals on a sand dune.
@Douglas1180 uhhh, we have a bad official? Then imagine hownmuch worse if the bad party was elected? Not only would they be speaking about Neanderthals, but they would be speakomg WORD SALADS about them.
@Hаwk_Tuаh Wait I just got a Whatapp from Kamala. Wait, does she know I'm not the Secretary of War? It says "Amidst the rubble and dust, the once-sturdy edifice crumbled, symbolizing the fragility of our constructs. As fighter jets streak across the sky, their roaring engines echo a solemn vow to protect and defend. Yet, amidst the tension, a surprising shift occurs - the cost at the pump, that ever-present worry, dips downward, offering a glimmer of relief in a world momentarily off balance. This confluence of events, a dance of destruction and reprieve, paints a complex tapestry of our modern times."
Whenever you have people who are busy getting things accomplished there sometimes there can be errors. The only way to avoid it is to just do nothing but sit on thr beach and eat ice cream for 4 years.
@blackeagle007 I'm actually a millionaire but I would never judge anyone living in a trailer. Some of those I know get the water from mountain springs, have no bills, and live harmoniously with nature. But, I also happen to believe in the other American dream, too -- the one where I can earn shit loads of money, fly to Europe for the weekend to bang hot Romanian girls, and not even worry if they get pregnant because they have abortion over there.
@Hаwk_Tuаh Do you enjoy making up conversations in your own head?
Waltz was wrong (actually breaking the Espionage Act) for inviting the Journalist to the group chat. They were all wrong (breaking the Presidential Records Act) for having a group chat about ongoing national security matters on an unsupported medium and setting them to delete themselves. They were all wrong (celebrating a war crime they committed) to talk about the civilian living accommodation they flattened to kill one man.
@Hаwk_Tuаh There is no "even worse" party. Democrats are competent, which is how, for example, they managed to reduce the federal workforce by 426,000 people, consolidate 800 departments and eliminate 640,000 pages of rules, without endangering the country by, say, firing the people watching over the nuclear arsenal and emerging epidemics. Barely anyone noticed.
@Douglas1180 I didn’t for for either. I thought everyone on the ballot was a bad choice. So I made the statement by not voting presidential. Just because someone doesn’t support things skinned criminal Trump, doesn’t mean they are a horrible person. Get over it and to bed
The hypocrisy is amusing with this one. Just try to begin to imagine how long you'd be hearing about this if a Democrat did it. I expect during the 2064 election, they'd still be talking about it. But since a Republican did it, they pretend it's meaningless lol. Such clowns.
Jack Teixeira is a former member of the Massachusetts Air National Guard who became widely known for orchestrating one of the most significant national security leaks in recent U. S. history. Born in December 2001 in Dighton, Massachusetts, Teixeira grew up in a working-class family with a military background—his stepfather was a retired master sergeant in the Air National Guard. His early interests leaned toward military history, weapons, and video games, which later played a role in his online activities.
Here’s a breakdown of what he revealed based on available information: Russia-Ukraine War Intelligence: Detailed assessments of the ongoing conflict, including troop movements, casualties, and battlefield conditions for both Russian and Ukrainian forces.
Information about Ukraine’s military capabilities, such as air defense systems running low on munitions and specifics about U. S. and NATO support, including timelines for weapon deliveries.
Insights into Russian military vulnerabilities, including losses of elite units and internal morale issues.
U. S. Surveillance Activities: Evidence of U. S. intelligence-gathering efforts, including intercepted communications from allies and adversaries. For instance, documents reportedly showed the U. S. monitoring South Korean officials discussing arms support for Ukraine, revealing potential diplomatic tensions.
Indications that the U. S. had penetrated Russian military networks, providing real-time intelligence on Moscow’s plans.
Global Security Implications: Classified analyses of how the Ukraine war affected broader geopolitical dynamics, including NATO’s strategic responses and potential escalation risks.
Information that could expose U. S. sources and methods, potentially compromising ongoing intelligence operations worldwide.
Imagine being an F/A 18 pilot launching on a mission not being confident your leaders have not stupidly told the bad guys when and where your strike is to happen... this is truly amateur hour.
The other issue is why would any country share intelligence with the USA knowing its not secure... it may get their operatives killed. Maybe the USA should get kicked out of the 5 eyes instead of what Vance wanted to do to Canada...
It's literally there in front of your eyes, but because your leaders will deny the truth, you will too. Hegseth claimed it was fake news, even after the White House confirmed it. He claimed there were no details of the mission, even though it included two hours notice of when bombs were going to fall. You're a lying fool.
So, two hours notice of when bombs are going to fall on "terrorist" positions wouldn't be plenty of time for anyone who thinks they might be a target to move miles away? Don't be a fool.
