From the Article:

“If you think we should do it let’s go. I just hate bailing Europe out again,” Vance replied. Hegseth agreed that “I fully share your loathing of European free-loading. It’s PATHETIC.” But, he added, “we are the only ones on the planet (on our side of the ledger) who can do this.”

Miller, the Trump confidant, effectively ended the conversation by saying that the president had been clear. “Green light, but we soon make clear to Egypt and Europe what we expect in return.”

Yeah and the only way to leak it, is to invite the wrong people. But somehow they managed even that.

That must have been in purpose because how the flying frack do you accidentally invite a hostile (to you, that is) journalist into a top secret chat about war plans?

The problem is that they were discussing national defense information outside of approved classified systems. I mean Signal is secure yeah, but phones are not.

  • Hey boss. Remember the guy whose phone we hacked to use his private life against him?
  • Yeah, what about him?
  • I got some classified stuff and the defense plans of the country for next week.
  • . . . wait what?

That -of course- too. I was just referring to how stupid you have to be, on top of signal, to invite the wrong person, then never even go and confirm you have the right person, and then just go and discuss war plans

Because they can get away from it. Notice how no Republican has come out to condemn this breach of security.

No I’m seriously wondering if they thought some of this would help them somehow. I honestly don’t see how nobody would’ve noticed

From what I’ve seen now, it’s clear that yes, they just are THAT dumb

Not unreasonable that a politician has the number to a journalist in their contacts. Probably wanted to add someone else and fat fingered it from the contact list.

Yes, if you mistype a number of something you’d be very unlikely to add a reporter or let alone an editor
