Summary

The Atlantic has published unredacted attack plans (non-paywall link) shared in a Signal group chat of senior Trump officials, including Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, CIA Director John Ratcliffe, and DNI Tulsi Gabbard.

Editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg released the full texts after officials denied sharing war plans or classified information, arguing transparency was necessary amid accusations of dishonesty.

The leaked messages detailed U.S. military strikes targeting Houthis in Yemen.

    So thankful we avoided GeNoCiDe JoE!

    This is way better! …but then again, the world is only black or white… so maybe not. I guess the internet wanted this and so here we are.

      Ah yes, some pro-Palestinians who didn’t cast their votes are the reason democrats lost.

      This trope is getting old to be honest.

        The prevalent message is what counts.

        Kinda like saying a handful of idiots pushed a narrative about Hillary’s server. More idiots bought that line but it was started by a small group.

          The well known argument that the 90 millions eligible voters that did not vote were influenced by a few people protesting the US aiding and supporting a genocide.

          very rational, very smart…Keep on deflecting instead of bettering your party, that will show the republicans currently destroying what is left of your society.

            Why not both? It’s entirely possible to push for progressive policies while also acknowledging the role cultural influence and the internet holds…

            Easier that being an asshole really.

              Because it’s nonsensical? You people are trying to put all the blame of trump win on some vocal minority from the left.

              This is dishonest, and quite disturbing. Especially seeing how frequent this argument keep popping up on every thread related to trump destroying your country.

      This trope if pathetic, only Americans think this way. You need an actual opposition party then, not neoliberalism. Because fascism wins either with your way of thinking.

      No politician offering universal healthcare, affordable housing, paid time off, better wages, resistance against genocide, etc. and etc. And youre mad at the voters? You see how fucked up that is?

      Blaming others and voters will keep making your situation worse and worse, until they come after you as well. You could instead use your energy to protest in various ways or to support or help to challenge and create new parties or structures.

      Keep dogging on your own citizens and youre gonna be next. Literally the playbook of Nazis. “First they came for…”
