SecDef shares US war Plan in Group chat

[Anonymous]

Vance is such a traitor. No concern about putting troops at risk. Just concern for himself that he said his boss (Trump) didn't understand the geopolitics of the situation (which to be fair--isn't something Vance should be writing in a hackable chat group).

Vice President JD Vance’s team sought to immediately contain the fallout over a report showing that Mr. Vance and several top national security officials had inadvertently discussed details of a military attack on Yemen in a group chat that mistakenly included the editor in chief of The Atlantic.

But Mr. Vance’s focus wasn’t on the security breach. Instead, he and his top aides seemed far more concerned with the fact that the conversation displayed a hint of his dissent with his boss.

Mr. Vance has emerged as one of President Trump’s more loyal soldiers and defenders, rarely breaking with him in public and eagerly attacking his critics.

But in the Signal chat, according to the report on it by The Atlantic’s Jeffrey Goldberg, Mr. Vance told the other officials that he thought the timing of the Yemen operation was a “mistake.” Mr. Vance argued that European nations overwhelmingly benefited from the U.S. Navy’s efforts to protect shipping lanes from Houthi attacks, and he seemed to question if Mr. Trump understood the potential consequences of the action.

“I am not sure the president is aware how inconsistent this is with his message on Europe right now,” Mr. Vance said. “There’s a further risk that we see a moderate to severe spike in oil prices. I am willing to support the consensus of the team and keep these concerns to myself.”

The administration did this to intimidate Canada and Europe. There was a basketball team who used to run through their offense instead of the pregame layup line. They did it to intimidate the opponent, showing their offense because the opponent wouldn’t be able to do anything about it. That team ended up winning 85-90% of their games consistently.

That’s all this is. Democrats need to calm down, take a deep breath, and figure out how they’re going to stay out of jail.

Your use of sports allegories indicates that you think on a tenth grade level. I bet you ARE in the Trump administration.

Maybe Karoline Leavitt is on DCUM?

You are so right! This does sound like her!

Probably. The post was on point for a girl who got a softball scholarship to a no name school that admits 85% of applicants.

Did that happen?

They shared classified data about an impending military strike on a group text through an insecure app, while more than one participant was 🅰️ using personal phone and/or 🅱️ was overseas (including one person in Moscow!), added a journalist to the group, admitted it, denied it, then admitted it again.

After being notified by the Pentagon in Feb 2025 that Signal was not safe to use.

You use the officials USGovt secure channels to hide communications from bad actors. You use Signal to hide communications from the USGovt.

The Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, and the CIA Director, John Ratcliffe, not knowing DoD policy on classified and controlled unclassified information on unsecured devices is appalling.

Witkoff was in Moscow… why did he join such a highly sensitive group on a civilian phone while INSIDE RUSSIA? Is that considered OPSEC? (The answer is no)

And as the hearing was happening the House of Reps Republicans were discussing how to remove the efficiency of refrigerators.

Midterms will be our last chance to vote. Anyone who votes for the treasonous and stupid taxpayer waste crowd is just dumb. National Security and House Republicans are discussing the removal of efficiency standards for refrigerators. No one could make up how utterly stupid not only the cult is but all Republicans at this point in time.

Trump's inner circle don't read memos. They follow their leader.

Indeed, some of these signal messages could have been posted in the bathroom at Mar a Lago.

One of the GOP reps just called Karoline's statement that "no classified info was revealed" to be "baloney." She's just a talking head with no substance.

We hope we'll get the chance for a fair vote in 2 years. Look how fast Elon moved to dismantle federal agencies. This admin is also gutting the electoral agencies as well...

“This Kendall Brown Democrat woman needs to be hauled into the US Attorney’s Office and have a discussion with the US Attorney and Stephen Miller about exactly what this administration can do to her husband and her family, as well as to Brown herself.

At the same time, DOJ needs to have a chat with the media about what “embargoed” means. They need to spike any story that mentions the Atlantic article, this Signal chat, or any terrorism or casualties that come from Goldberg’s espionage. Any media who does not comply simply doesn’t get to exist.”

Stephen, is that you again? What law did this woman break? Why did you not speak up when your buddy named and gave identifiers of a CIA operative? Every one of you on the group chat broke the law. At least you will find out in four years.

Signal is permissible to use for work purposes provided that any decisions made are also recorded through formal channels.

Recording “decisions made” is not actually the standard for retaining government records.

Yep. I worked in the White House during a different (Republican) administration and we were told that unless it was about something clearly personal like lunch plans, we should consider it a record communication. Aside from the fact that it is 100% classified and should be on a secure system, it cannot be on a non-governmental system even if it is not classified because it is government record

“Yo dude, let’s attack.”

“Well we could wait.”

“Nah.”

“It’s not in alignment, but I’ll defer because you guys are rad.”

“💪🏻🔥🇺🇸”

“Duuude!”

Ashton Kutcher will play Hegseth in the mini series, “Dude, Where’s My Nuke?”

Exactly the vibe.

An unconfirmed nominee should not even be in the building. Never mind working. It violates the Constitution and the Senate prerogative to advise and consent.

Where do these people think they are working?

Maybe they wanted to leak the information.
