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.

Well yeah. The intention was for the attack to succeed.
That seems to be the safer option.
Not like he pays attention during important international security meetings anyways. All they need to do is make the power point more than 3 slides long and more than 45 words.
“We are currently clean on OPSEC”
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.
I wonder whether he still feels embarrassed about that. I intermittently relive minor faux pas, and each one haunts me in a unique way. He said quite possibly the cringiest string of words of all time, and yet his knuckles aren’t white and his lips unchapped and whole. Wonder how he does it.
Narcissism
I think that there’s a substantial percentage of the idiot population who are entirely, blissfully unaware of how excruciatingly stupid they are. Sure they make mistakes, but life keeps on trucking, no consequences so it couldn’t have been that big a deal right?
Bill-Paxton in True Lies vibes.
He said quite possibly the cringiest string of words of all time
I dunno there’s quite some contenders in the running, like “Amen, and a-women.” 😂
But it’s up there!
Can’t have that information leak to Putin.
What about trickling down to Putin?
Putin does the trickling down on trump
That’s the rumour, certainly.
Yeah why would you tell the enemy of your plans?
Yeah, its pretty typical not to give war plans to an enemy state.

The story isn’t about the attack, it’s about how Trump thinks he’s entitled to all the information.
Trump is one of the blyats, why would Zelenskyy inform him?
Why should he be?
Realistically, I can’t imagine why he would be.
My guess would be if they planned to use some US-provided wepons in the attack or something like that.
Nor should he be. Ever.
That’s why it worked.
That’s why it worked.
If Trump expects to be informed of Ukrainian intentions, they should exploit his hubris - use him to spread disinformation and divert Russian attention away from true targets.
Do that a couple times to the point the Russians don’t believe it, and then use the correct targets expecting the Russians to protect the other nearby targets like last times instead.
A Poker face is the best strategy.
Was Trump informed that he is a nitwit and a jackass and should be in prison?
Just put him in a truman show-style mental hospital, he’s gonna love it and never give it a second thought. Or…maybe that’s what the WH has become at this point…
I heard they were thinking about turning the presidential daily brief into either cartoons or a fake news channel stream just to get him to pay attention… So yeah, Truman show Whitehouse sounds eerily plausible
I can’t even tell if you’re joking
It seems Donald is beginning to learn that he can’t sustainably approach foreign policy and diplomacy as if he’s ordering up a Big Mac.
He’s not learning squat
I think the facts demonstrate otherwise. It’s more accurate to say he’s not learning much, and I think that someone like Donald, who has to be the center of international attention, is going to notice when the other national players start leaving him out of the loop.
That Donald reacted to the bond markets panicking in the face of his tariffs demonstrates that someone inside that Administration has the ability to get him to see reason. It’s a bummer that they don’t bend his ear more often.
Like other successful fascists, his skill is having his finger on the pulse of his supportive factions. The capitalists are less to him important than the rabid foot soldiers, but he still doesn’t want them to see him as weak.
