Senator Chuck Schumer said it plainly: "One of the most stunning breaches of military intelligence in a very, very long time." And he's right. Trump's inner circle - the people entrusted with safeguarding the free world - were caught treating military operations like casual group chat fodder, leaking strike details, target coordinates, and weapons packages over an unsecured app, with a reporter accidentally looped in.
This isn't just a lapse. It's a wholesale collapse of competence, discipline, and basic security protocol.
Trump's Cabinet sat around in Signal chats, ridiculing long-term allies, casually coordinating lethal strikes, and parroting authoritarian talking points - all while running America's foreign policy like some frat house group text. They sneered at Europe, praised Putin's strength, and made it clear: loyalty to allies is conditional, but admiration for strongmen is limitless.
Now, senior figures are scrambling to spin this disaster as "deep policy coordination." No - this is amateurism of the highest order, and it's not just embarrassing; it's dangerous.
Schumer's right. The breach is catastrophic. But the real tragedy is that it perfectly encapsulates Trump's entire approach to governance: reckless, transactional, unserious, and shockingly deferential to authoritarian regimes.
While Ukraine sharpens its edge and applies real pressure to Russian energy infrastructure, Trump's team seems more focused on shielding Putin's interests and undercutting US allies - all while leaving America's secrets out in the open.
A clown show, yes. But the consequences are no laughing matter.
@lexfridman I can't quite understand how one can achieve that while thinking 'it's not my war, it's not my problem, I’m not interested in helping anyone but myself'
@RAEinforma#dudaRAE Buscando la traducción de Guilde del alemán he encontrado esto: https://t.co/oWQYlrgNiD pero no encuentro la palabra 'Guilda' en la página oficial de la RAE. No existe?
@aureliengeron I have already read the entire second edition. The book is very good. Congratulations. Is there a possibility to read only the new stuff and not 800 pages again?... 🙄 how much in % is new?

Die Mücke landet auf dem Salz und denkt, es sei Zucker. Sie bekommt Durst und sucht Wasser, aber in dem Deckel ist Rum.
