Summary

Israeli officials are furious that the leaked Signal group chat involving senior Trump administration officials compromised sensitive Israeli intelligence from a human source in Yemen.

The chat, accidentally including journalist Jeffrey Goldberg, contained details about U.S. airstrikes targeting Houthi militants.

While Trump officials claim no classified information was shared, sources tell CBS News that Israeli intelligence is angry their human intelligence was exposed.

The leak has strained U.S.-Israel relations, and Trump has privately expressed frustration over the fallout from the exposure.

    Israel is literally sending the US targets to bomb and Trump is simply signing off on it.

    A foreign country controls the US military.

    Trump government giving away intelligence from other countries? They would never!

    Well, that is ignoring all the times when they did, of course

    I still remember Dutch intelligence stopped sharing data with the US after trump (in his previous stint) took the info that Dutch intelligence had hacked Russian intelligence and were monitoring them, and just plainly told this to the world.

        The thing about the qons is that they typically don’t value surrounding themselves with people smarter for them (they also don’t vote for people they believe are smarter than themselves) so that by the time you go down a few levels, you get more and more stupid people.

        So donvict is an idiot. He mostly picks his cabinet by watching Faux “News”. Very few of these people are qualified. Those people then put even dumber people under them (smarter people would be a threat)…and so on…

      It wouldn’t have even been possible if they had been using the proper channels for communications.

    Frankly, the Israelis deserve it for not learning their lesson last time. Even if you think you’re trump’s ally, you can’t trust him because of his sheer incompetence. And also because he hasn’t heard any intelligence he doesn’t brag to Putin about knowing.

    When a foreign nation has more influence on the administration than the entirety of the American people…

    I’m all for anything that makes Israelis furious, and am absolutely delighted that the Trump admin is so stupid they exposed an Israeli spy to danger.

      Just how much angrier and pissier would donvict have been if it was a woman, especially a POC, from the Atlantic?

      I’m sure he’d be talking about what a nasty woman they were, etc.

    Since the policy in this country is now ISRAEL First, this is the only set of people that matter when it comes to being pissed off about this.

    Well, at least the Trump administration might actually pretend to care now. When Americans are outraged, they don’t give a shit.

    Frustration over the fallout rather than frustration over the leak. That about sums up this administration
