That’s because trump is a national security risk.
International security risk
International man of Pisstory.
Trump is a global security risk.
Well yeah. The intention was for the attack to succeed.
That seems to be the safer option.
Not like he pays attention during important international security meetings anyways. All they need to do is make the power point more than 3 slides long and more than 45 words.
"We are currently clean on OPSEC"
We are currently clean on OPSEC
the level of stupidity involved with formulating this sentence still gives me pause. What the actual fuck are you trying to say, Hesgeth or whatever idiot on the signal chat.... do you really think you're 'clean' on 'opsec' IN FUCKING SIGNAL?
they heard the term opsec from one of their security detail and wanted to jam it in there because it sounded cool.
Plus; why even say it? The assumption is you're clean on opsec until you know you aren't. You still don't say anything more than absolutely necessary where it might get picked up. It's like saying "we're still breathing oxygen". When that changes, you'll know, because all hell breaks loose.
My hypothesis is that it was intentional because they thought it would make it look like they were badasses, instead of the absolute shed of toolboxes that they are.
I wonder whether he still feels embarrassed about that. I intermittently relive minor faux pas, and each one haunts me in a unique way. He said quite possibly the cringiest string of words of all time, and yet his knuckles aren’t white and his lips unchapped and whole. Wonder how he does it.
I think that there's a substantial percentage of the idiot population who are entirely, blissfully unaware of how excruciatingly stupid they are. Sure they make mistakes, but life keeps on trucking, no consequences so it couldn't have been that big a deal right?
Bill-Paxton in True Lies vibes.
Can’t have that information leak to Putin.
What about trickling down to Putin?
Putin does the trickling down on trump
That's the rumour, certainly.
Yeah why would you tell the enemy of your plans?
Trump is one of the blyats, why would Zelenskyy inform him?
Nor should he be. Ever.
That's why it worked.
That's why it worked.
If Trump expects to be informed of Ukrainian intentions, they should exploit his hubris - use him to spread disinformation and divert Russian attention away from true targets.
Do that a couple times to the point the Russians don't believe it, and then use the correct targets expecting the Russians to protect the other nearby targets like last times instead.
It seems Donald is beginning to learn that he can't sustainably approach foreign policy and diplomacy as if he's ordering up a Big Mac.
Was Trump informed that he is a nitwit and a jackass and should be in prison?
Just put him in a truman show-style mental hospital, he's gonna love it and never give it a second thought. Or...maybe that's what the WH has become at this point...
I heard they were thinking about turning the presidential daily brief into either cartoons or a fake news channel stream just to get him to pay attention.... So yeah, Truman show Whitehouse sounds eerily plausible
I can't even tell if you're joking
According to the latest reports, he still doesn't know they happened because he regularly doesn't attend his own security briefings. Not to worry though, he'll be fully briefed this evening when Fox and Friends covers it tonight.
Tell Trump, so he can tell Putin, fuck that....
Holy fucking hell the entitlement.
Who gives a shit?
Anyone who has Russia as a foreign threat.
I think he means who gives a shit whether or not Zelensky informs Putin's puppet about secret attack plans
It ultimately means US intelligence will be sandbox3d not able to share with our former allies. Why would any government share intwl.with the US anymore?
Honestly this attack was so insane I don't know how Russia could have done anything about it, even if Trump leaked it at the final hour.
It was being prepared for 1.5 years, from what I've heard, so there was a lot to moving parts that could have been screwed up if the information was leaked. At the final hour - maybe not much could have been done to prevent it, but it would have been significantly harder to extract Ukrainian operatives who were involved within Russia.
CMD Taco Krasnov can suck it.
Oh no, now he's gonna throw a hissy fit about how he wasn't added to the telegram group where they plan the big bada booms :'(((
17 commenters posted the obvious reason why before I could. The unanimity is sweet.
Not informed as in nobody gave him the information or not informed as in he was given a report but didn't read it?
U mean special operation right
Trump never attends his breefings, so he's never informed.
Thankfully that means someone in the chain of command knows what the fuck they're doing and rightfully kept this rotted nutsack away from actionable intel. When you know someone is compromised or a spy, you cut them out of the loop while feeding them Intel you want your enemy to have.
A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
