A nothingburger? I’d hope you’re not that stupid. An unsecured internet connection while discussing military strategy is the furthest thing from a nothingburger. Be better

It's a nothingburger. You're making it a bigger deal because you never liked Pete and want to be able to say, "I told you so". Get madder. :)

That's fine....i'm sure if this was a biden cabinet pick you'd have nothing to say about it ,and call it a nothingburger. lol. Beyond dense take.

It likely did happen however we likely didn't hear about it because the press under Biden would likely not make a big deal about a nothingburger.

Anyway markets are doing just fine this week. However if they're down on Mon you and Paul will be on here pronto to tell us all about it. Such a bunch of whiny reactionaries...

Lol yeah let me know when it gets back to what it was before he took office.

Btw if I used an unsecured network at work discussing strategy for clients, I’d be fired on the spot and it’s a lot less sensitive than global military strategy so no it’s not a nothingburger.

He's picked the bottom twice now. He's my new buy indicator. Classic "dumb money" panic...

I was thinking the same thing. Much of what I do has to be done on a secured server or I would be facing some very severe corrective actions and possibly even fired. And what I do is of rather low consequence in the whole grand scheme of things.

Maybe it's because the information leaked isn't true or the whole story? I don't know however when Paul and Ville are screeching about anything that happens in this Administration I tend to take it with a huge grain of salt.

Well, you should do a little research to help yourself out.
The Pentagon does NOT use Signal to transmit classified information. They have their own secured network.
The general who passed the unfolding military plans for action on the Houthis, did it on the secured network to Hegseth.
Who then turned around and shared on two Signal (unsecured) chat threads.

A second lieutenant (captain in the army)/Fox News Host has been put in charge of our Defense Department.
No one in their right mind, unencumbered by political concerns of being primaried, could possibly think he was qualified.
And now the whole country can see it.

What's hilarious, is that even as they report it, they call it "fake news"....despite having looped in the editor of the Atlantic on the first breech.
They said it was fake.
So he published the actual chat.
Some people are so gullible it hurts to even think they are hoodwinked by this administration.

First, was the information classified and how do you know? Because the NYT said it?

Finished as a Major IN THE ARMY (Reserves, served in combat. what is the banana rank/Cpt in the Army bs?). What was your rank?

And what was Panetta's rank? Seems you have selective qualifications. Probably just reacting again out of ignorance and hate.
