Trump was not informed of a recent Ukrainian attack on Russia, The Hill’s sister network NewsNation confirmed Sunday.

According to NewsNation’s Tanya Noury, an administration official said the president was not given a heads-up about the drone attack that a Ukrainian security official alleged destroyed more than 40 planes well within Russian territory, according to The Associated Press.

    We are currently clean on OPSEC

    the level of stupidity involved with formulating this sentence still gives me pause. What the actual fuck are you trying to say, Hesgeth or whatever idiot on the signal chat… do you really think you’re ‘clean’ on ‘opsec’ IN FUCKING SIGNAL?

    they heard the term opsec from one of their security detail and wanted to jam it in there because it sounded cool.

      Plus; why even say it? The assumption is you’re clean on opsec until you know you aren’t. You still don’t say anything more than absolutely necessary where it might get picked up. It’s like saying “we’re still breathing oxygen”. When that changes, you’ll know, because all hell breaks loose.

        My hypothesis is that it was intentional because they thought it would make it look like they were badasses, instead of the absolute shed of toolboxes that they are.
