The Atlantic Releases Detailed Signal Chat Showing US Plans Against Houthis in Yemen
ai generated text
A chat group of senior national security officials, including Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, mistakenly shared information about an imminent attack on Yemen with a journalist. The details, which included times of strikes and types of planes being used, were shared via a commercial Signal messaging app and were later released by The Atlantic magazine.
I happen to know the guy's a total sleaze bag.
The Atlantic is a failed magazine. Does very, very poorly. Nobody gives a damn about it. This gives it a little bit of a shot. And I will tell you this: They've made up more stories. And they're just a failing magazine. The public understands that.
I think he's doing his best. It's equipment and technology that's not perfect, and probably he won't be using it again, at least not in the very near future.
If you think we should do it, let go ahead. I just hate bailing Europe out again.
Here are the facts about his latest story: 1. No 'war plans' were discussed. 2. No classified material was sent to the thread.
No locations. No sources & methods. NO WAR PLANS.
Yes, sir, we are. We have our technical experts looking at it, we have our legal teams looking at it, and of course, we're going to keep everything as secure as possible.
Team, you should have a statement of conclusions with taskings per the Presidents guidance this morning in your high side inboxes.
Typing too fast. The first target – their top missile guy – we had positive ID of him walking into his girlfriend's building and it's now collapsed.
Kudos to all – most particularly those in theater and CENTCOM! Really great. God bless.
VP: I fully share your loathing of European free-loading. It's PATHETIC.
Green light, but we soon make clear to Egypt and Europe what we expect in return.
If Europe doesn't remunerate, then what? If the US successfully restores freedom of navigation at great cost there needs to be some further economic gain extracted in return.
If this text had been received by someone hostile to American interests – or someone merely indiscreet, and with access to social media – the Houthis would have had time to prepare for what was meant to be a surprise attack on their strongholds. The consequences for American pilots could have been catastrophic.
