“The scale of the leak — analysts say more than 100 documents may have been obtained — along with the sensitivity of the documents themselves, could be hugely damaging, U.S. officials said,” the report continues.
The new batch came out on Friday. A first batch of documents appeared on Twitter and Telegram earlier in the week. They were related to military planning in Ukraine.
Given the apparent panic in the White House, the leaks most likely contain some real classified information. My guess is that the leaks reflect divisions within the Washington establishment; someone does not like the path the US is on.
How should the US government respond to the leaks?
I suspect that someone may be trying to prevent neocons in the White House from starting WW3. That is a good thing in my opinion.
. . . the leaked documents appear to go well beyond highly classified material on Ukraine war plans. Security analysts who have reviewed the documents tumbling onto social media sites say the increasing trove also includes sensitive briefing slides on China, the Indo-Pacific military theater, the Middle East and terrorism.
i wonder if because the govt is obsessed over ridiculous bull ■■■■ like arresting political opponents, trans freak “rights” and climate hysteria things are going to hell
Well Zskyy the prez of Ukraine said the leaks were really Russian disinformation and Russian altered open source because the Ukies killed more Ruskies then the leaks reported. Zskyy also said some of the leaks were altered public briefings described as classified briefings.
Zskyy would not lie and US media is 100% accurate.
In other news, China is rapidly moving forward in trade dominance and is mostly peaceful.
Can someone still in the game comment on why pictures from GunWiki would be classified as TopSecret and Secret with SCI information?
The whole thing seems a little off with the USA infographic levels of design and info, and more markings than what is required. Almost as if someone knew they needed markings, but not exactly how it is done.
The assumption has been that the purpose of Russian missile strike has been to knock out the Ukrainian electrical system. Instead the primary target may have been to knock out Ukrainian air defense systems and to deplete Ukrainian missiles stocks.
That conclusion is supported by the leaked documents, which say that Ukraine is nearly out of anti-aircraft missiles.
Recent Russian reports show more air strikes in Ukraine. It looks like the Russian air force has little to worry about from Ukrainian air defense systems, and any Ukrainian offensive will have to face Russian air strikes.
