Why on earth should Zelensky do that? He knows about how important secrecy and security is. Telling Trump about this would be akin to advertize it on billboards in Moscow.

Why on earth should Zelensky do that?

he should not and without reading the article i am pretty sure that is not what it suggests. it illustrates how untrustworthy the former ally (the word leader was used in the past) of the free world is.

Good thing too. The felon would have called his Russian masters and warned them.

[-] [email protected] 31 points 5 days ago

I wonder tho, did no cia boots on the ground get a whiff of such an operation apparently prepared for around 18months?

[-] [email protected] 53 points 5 days ago

Maybe they kept it to themselves because they know exactly who Trump works for.

[-] [email protected] 33 points 5 days ago

Even if Trump wasn't a walking liability, why tell any more people than necessary? Everyone that knows is a potential leak no matter who they are

[-] [email protected] 13 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

And the felon is a definite leak.

[-] [email protected] 9 points 5 days ago

Rule 101, a secret shared is not a secret.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 5 days ago

Indeed.

[-] [email protected] 9 points 5 days ago

And Russian asset Tulsi Gabbard.

[-] [email protected] 12 points 5 days ago

did no cia boots on the ground get a whiff

You're referring to the current CIA...??

😂 🤣

[-] [email protected] 14 points 5 days ago

They're too busy spying on Americans to waste resources in Europe.

Not after TACO Orange Chicken leaked all those CIA operatives locations to putin, after which they died in the field.

[-] [email protected] 98 points 5 days ago

That's why it was successful

[-] [email protected] 58 points 5 days ago

Why would Trump need to be informed about it?

[-] [email protected] 15 points 4 days ago

So he can tip off his suck off buddy

[-] [email protected] 7 points 4 days ago

Just tell Pete Hegseth's wife and the Russian hackers can read about it in The Atlantic.

[-] [email protected] 10 points 4 days ago

If they're going to inform him, they might as well just tell Putin too.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 4 days ago

He's trying to fix the peace talks all on his own while undermining the EU.

Him not getting informed while EU members do would make him very upset.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago

He's busy. Wake him up when he has to approve the next bribe.

[-] [email protected] 71 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Good. Don't tell us shit. It makes the news that much more glorious knowing the Ukrainians are a group of bad mother(shut yo mouth) who can pull off Andor type shit.

[-] [email protected] 44 points 5 days ago

Forget to read the brief, Donnie?

Probably too busy shitting in his.

[-] [email protected] 16 points 5 days ago
[-] [email protected] 13 points 5 days ago

If he could read, he'd be so angry at you.

[-] [email protected] 9 points 5 days ago

It was the breakfast from Taco Bell. Never goes down well.

[-] [email protected] 33 points 4 days ago

"Trump is uninformed" doesn't seem a very newsworthy tittle really

[-] [email protected] 46 points 5 days ago

I don't see why the US should be informed?

There shouldn't be any US equipment in the area, why bother including anyone who doesn't need to know?

[-] [email protected] 7 points 5 days ago

Exactly. The US isn't engaged in war with anyone as far as I know (currently). They might provide some material support to a trusted ally but they are not at war with Russia.

[-] [email protected] 28 points 5 days ago

That’s weird. Wonder if it’s related to the Russian/Ukrainian peace negotiation that Ukraine wasn’t invited to.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 4 days ago

It's probably related to our complete inability to keep secrets secret right now

[-] [email protected] 3 points 4 days ago

Hard to keep secrets when the President is openly selling them to anyone who is buying.

How tf would he know it he had been informed or not?

[-] [email protected] 24 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Good. Single him out as the one not being informed.

Yes, others were kept in the dark too. But focus on the little rape pig being kept in the dark. Make TACO seethe until that crusty heart gives out.

[-] [email protected] 21 points 5 days ago

Keep up the good work Ukraine.

[-] [email protected] 21 points 5 days ago

Yes very good idea Ukraine. Wish we had a leader like that.

[-] [email protected] 13 points 4 days ago

He never goes to any of his briefings anyway.

[-] [email protected] 18 points 5 days ago

I feel like this is good news for Ukraine.

[-] [email protected] 15 points 5 days ago

The title stating the obvious concerning the felon not being informed is weird, but the article is a worthwhile read:

Some of the trucks were parked in Siberia, thousands of miles away from Ukraine, according to the report.

About 40 Russian military planes, including strategic bombers, were reportedly struck in the attack.

I cannot begin to imagine what a blow this is to Russia's crumbling air force. And the ingenuity of the attack (some of whose details are omitted in this article - though you may have read more about it in others) is phenomenal.

And don't forget this little tidbit - also a developing story:

Ukraine’s unprecedented drone attack on Russia comes as seven people were killed and 69 more injured after bridges collapsed in separate incidents across Russia.

I imagine the pending defenestrations of some Russian officials might be kept secret.

[-] [email protected] 15 points 5 days ago

Smartest possible move on their part. Trump is dangerous and can’t be trusted not to tell Putin.

[-] [email protected] 10 points 5 days ago

Another headline said the opposite. But I find this more likely.

Trump: Excuse me, Vlad. I just learned about something you'll want to know about.

[-] [email protected] 9 points 5 days ago

Is Ukraine supposed to inform the US of these things? That seems...like not a great idea.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 4 days ago

Tell him they found their cards!

[-] [email protected] 8 points 5 days ago

Yeah, that seems wise.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 4 days ago

Demented grandpa is just pissed because he has no friends. Slava Ukraine!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

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.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
