That’s because trump is a national security risk.

That seems to be the safer option.
"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.
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.
I remember in Trump's last presidency, Dutch security services hacked into a Russian hacking group that (IIRC) hacked amongst other things he DNC. They even had access to security cameras, and could follow everything being said and done. The info was shared to help the US government secretly defend itself but trump used it immediately for some political bullshit
This directly caused the Dutch operation to be detected and they were kicked out
The director of the Dutch intelligence agencies then, in an interview, mentioned that as of that moment they would no longer share everything with the US as it had become an unreliable partner.
I'm pretty sure this decision is still in effect with this administration. Trump is the US 's worst enemy
Can’t have that information leak to Putin.
What about trickling down to Putin?
Putin does the trickling down on trump
Thanks for the sanity check. I wouldn't think Ukraine's top brass would notify any world leaders of an impending attack, especially one that took so long to plan and with such high stakes. Give me one reason they would?!
Why should he be?
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.
He's not learning squat
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...
Nor should he ever be. Putins puppydog is not on the n2k lists. He just doesn't have the cards
Trump would have tweeted the plans about five seconds after he told Putin so probably for the best.
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.
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.
17 commenters posted the obvious reason why before I could. The unanimity is sweet.
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 :'(((
I just came to up vote everyone. Or I up voted everyone and then I cam....anyway, yeah this is great! Let's hope. Never lose hope. I hope for a quick end to this stupid war and also the one in Gaza.... But not that quick.. Not nuclear quick. Just you know, like pace deal quick... Capture all the nazis and give them a proper sea burial quick type of quick. How about the other planes this week?
Not informed as in nobody gave him the information or not informed as in he was given a report but didn't read it?
