On the bright side, the countries formerly known as America's allies now have a really nice excuse to stop sharing information -- that it'll just end up in some drunken cabinet member's cell phone.

ALL NATO allies have already cut all intel sharing to USA intel with known Putin/Assad crony Tulsi Gabbard as DNI. In fact, NATO now essentially doesn't exist. Trump has already said that he will NOT honor article 5, and firmly allied the USA now ONLY with genocidal fascist murdering tyrant Putin.
This is what happens when you hire people to the security team from the group that almost made it to McDonald's sales but couldn't be trusted with the frozen hamburger.
And spies. And cover ops agents. And diplomats. Let's be serious, no deployed soldier or military contractor should feel safe in sharing anything up the chain.
I wish his voters would immediately see the consequences of what all of those utterly irresponsible and horrible decisions mean. Instead, we'll have to convince them when things fall apart years from now.
I checked and nothing about this on Fox News so I posted in the comments to an article about the airstrikes that they should check CNN or another news outlet about the national security breach caused by Hegseth et al. "But Her Emails" is nothing compared to this.
Right? Like, it was hard for them to come right out and say that the entire regime is a bunch of Nazis and traitors, so the absolute lack of discipline in handling classified information makes a great excuse for not sending them any.
It’s a huge opportunity.
Any misleading information, “a bodyguard of lies” as WSC called it, can simply be given to the Pentagon in the certainty that it will be known by everyone by teatime.
America abandoned its allies in favour of Russia so I am fairly confident that America's former allies have pretty much concluded by now that any sensitive intel should not be disclosed to the USA unless it was intentionally false and they wanted Russia to act on it.
I’m assuming they had already stopped sharing sensitive information on the basis that he either gives it to Russia, or sells it via his Mar-a-Lago Classified Emporium to anyone with enough cash.
I have a suspicion that they've known this a while and I'm also suspicious that they will be giving USA only as much information as they need to give the appearance of keeping USA in the loop. Otherwise might as well just add Putin to the group chat
No-one should be sharing secret information with the US. They cannot be trusted at the highest level, not even taking personal incompetence into account.
A kakistocracy is government by the worst, least qualified, or most unscrupulous citizens.

Idk. I see Hegseth being similar to the Airman who leaked classified info on a video game server. I see him boasting such information in the pursuit of pussy.
That happened on 6th November. After the classified documents were found in a toilet in Mar-a-Lago, no agency worth their salt would endanger any assets sharing with the US. Any intel shared before that would have been shared on condition - condition it was destroyed should Trump become POTUS.
This truly is a bright side. The less intel this govt has, the less damage can be done ... DURING the administration and AFTER, when Cheeto man takes a bunch of it in cardboard boxes down to Mar-a-lago
If the confirmation of Tulsi Gabbard as head of intelligence didn’t motivate formerly known as America’s allies to stop sharing intel, this f*ck-up most certainly will.
If they're clever (and I think they are) they will deliberately share 'modified' information intended to get back to Putin and mislead him. OK, so all of my knowledge comes from the Bourne Identity, but I believe their guys are really smart
Oh, I think we've given them LOTS of good reasons not to trust us. But yeah, not giving your car keys to the drunken a-hole at the end of the bar is probably the safest way to go
We're not bothered. I think most of Europe have already concluded USA is the enemy now. And I think anyone who underestimates European intelligence agencies needs their head read. They're not idiots. Unlike MAGA
Love him or loathe him ( I’m not a fan myself) Starmer is far from stupid. There a lot going on behind the scenes I’ll bet. I suspect there’s a lot of untying of the knots that bind us to America happening, and one thing we’ve seen is that he can be a hard-nosed S.O.B.
This will also helps the officers and enlisted men justify not following illegal orders - when they come. The public will be more likely to back the troops than the President and Cabinet.
Five Eyes might as well be Five Guys named Moe. If I were one of the other Four, I wouldn't be sharing any intelligence, or recipes, or fashion tips with Big Diaper 2.0.
I doubt they would be sharing information with us anyway. Our Secretary of Defense is known to favor inebriated states, and our head of DNI is known to favor Putin. I don’t think they need more reasons, but today was certainly another nail in the coffin!
When I was in the USAF and had a TS Clearance I almost went to prison for 5 years for being a threat to national security because I was gay. Didn't disclose secrets, didn't do anything. Just EXISTED. Yet these fools just breached our national security and it's "just another day at the office."
The navy wanted me for sigintel and I cited don’t ask don’t tell, they’re the first ones I came out to to be honest bc like they weren’t getting the I won’t fit part.
They claimed it’d be overlooked “as much as it came up”
Really sorry that happened to you. I’m glad I didn’t believe the lies.
How dare you insult the US Secretary of Defense! I can't believe that you would have the audacity to...
Wait, Pete who? You're kidding. Really? He's out of rehab already? Oh.
Dear emptywheel, my sincere apologies.
Trump and his people have totally trashed America’s standing in the world. I blame the irresponsible idiots who voted for him. I will never forgive them.
The bad thing is he probably was NOT drunk when this incompetent dangerous lawless event happened.
The Cabinet is Historically corrupt & bad for Americans
From any perspective, Trump exhibits all the attributes of tyranny. A tyrant has no place in a civilized world. As long as Trump remains, America can no longer be regarded as civilized.
Yeah, this was a BIG mistake. Thankfully, no harm and it will be addressed and fixed IMMEDIATELY. OTOH, how come you couldn't recognize Biden's DEMENTIA for 5 years. Imagine all the harm that caused. Or was that OK?

Well, that's the sad part as well: we can't trust the US not to deport our tourist/scientist, we can't trust US in trade agreements, we can't trust militairy equipment we could buy from US we can't trust US to respect the sovereignty of other nations, we can't trust US with intel. Very sad.
Hell, I'm a citizen and all of these detentions of average people (tourist from Britain, etc) are making me nervous about leaving the country! I would absolutely, and sadly, advise anyone not a citizen to NOT COME HERE right now. Too many horror stories. It's absolutely shameful.

Dear US citizens!You are allowed to start petitions and to contact your politicians,e.g. via phone and mail. With enough power you can bring up new elections, legal and without violence.Your voice is stronger than you think. Build groups, be united! You are stronger! https://www.senate.gov/senators/senators-contact.htm?OrderBy=state&Sort=ASC
Pete's been married three times and he's got seven kids.
What's the over/under that at least three of his kids are named Johnnie, Jim and Captain Morgan?
Trump is doing a North Korea speedrun at breakneck speeds. If he isn't stopped they will fuck with the elections and he or someone like Dunce will finish the job.

Share information with the American administration at your own peril.
The american government is being run by amateurs who can't be trusted with a grocery list.

Gonna be a Lot of These Forms passed around, too.

My concern, is what else has already gotten out that they've hidden from us. I guess we need to call the Kremlin to find out.
If it means we have weekly 9/11s, then it means we have weekly 9/11s.
After November, we deserve weekly 9/11s.

King Charles secretly asked trump to become part of the common-wealth.

What did the allies do after they broke the Enigma code in WWII?
Yep - they'll feed us disinformation
Putin....
Imposters
Fuck ups
They are all complicit
trumps crying about his painting in Colorado and Musk is high playing with silverware.
Wheres Hakeems outrage? Schumer?
Looking for their balls somewhere.
Convenient distraction for LeJoy to resign.

Wow
Hegseth is doing nothing to abate the issue. Our country should not participate in intelligence sharing until this is remedied.
They claimed it’d be overlooked “as much as it came up”

That was a quite a ways back.
I'm sure America's allies have been preparing for this to some degree for years now.
i don’t blame them. 😏
LMFAO
The anti vaccine thing got way out of control.
People are like yah mah kid dun diad but they had a maindd free of bill soros gates!
I think the only way will be if they entirely re-vamp their political system - totally.
I'm thinking........🤔
they had reasonS enough.
In an emotional apology at the Pentagon, Hegseth said that someone in his position “should never drink and text, and so I am giving up texting.”
What's the over/under that at least three of his kids are named Johnnie, Jim and Captain Morgan?
7 kids? Is he mini Elon? Micro Elmo?
Oh, all our weapons systems and software will be replaced and we will get cut out of raw materials too.
63 days and I’m tired of losing bc of felonious impeachious.
Via signal, to eu and random contacts “trust us bro”
Meanwhile the US itself wouldn’t use the iron dome system bc Isreal wouldn’t allow it to audit the source code.
Disabling systems on an old plane vs the f-35 which needs to connect to the pentagon.
Us defense industry over, plus cutting the military budget in half.
