  1. The issue is who leaked these documents and how they was able to do it and how they got access to the top secret information

    1. “From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” Matthew 4:17

      “Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth: But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.” Matthew 5:38-39

      “And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.” Matthew 6:5-6

  2. People leaking things like this, should receive the highest punishment available!
    And after watching Peppa Pig for 48 hours non stop, if they are still alive, they must Watch “Bananas in Pyjamas” for the next 5 days, though it is borderline cruel – its justified!.

    2. ​@John Due omg imagine the torture of being locked in a room for days on end with baby shark cranked up to the point its hard to sleep 😂

    1. @dave mitchell The previous administration was was worth even less than worthless. But that’s neither here nor there. It wasn’t either administration which leaked. I’ll promise you that. There are other people in government who have access to all that information, and one of them is spending like there is no end to money, even though nothing apparent has changed in that person’s income. Not going to drop a name, just in case the person is innocent, but if I’m right, we’ll all say, “Yep, makes sense.” Then one party will start to try to defend the idiot while the other tries to score points off of it. Same old nation in decline crap that we’ve been experiencing for awhile now. It really sucks that one of our parties and their associated news outlets are using the neuropshychiatric profile of a specific group of people to manipulate them and get them to believe things that just aren’t true.

  3. I wonder who and why did this as a means of distraction from the issue at hand trying to change the narratives

  4. in the movie jason and the argonauts he was faced with an army of skeletons, he was told to throw a stone amongst them and they’d fight against eachother, sowing doubt among the russian intelligence agency’s will tie them up trying to find a leak amongst themselves, smart move

    2. @Gospel of Jesus Christ you never listened to a word I said to you. quit quoting me like you know something.

  5. I think this from inexperience people who are not really qualified to review intelligence documents being careless or worse believe the lie that Ukraine is not worth defending. Either way the person or persons responsible should be held accountable. Think about all the people who are not qualified to run those committee, but get voted on them anyway. This maybe a jail time offense whether you Congress person or not, homeland security etc. I hope they move quickly to arrest the people responsible

  6. “we have to better job at monitoring these discord sites.” oh dear lol this is exactly why you won’t catch the person who released these documents

  7. The first thing I’m thinking of is Mar-a-Lago…I’m guessing those documents found there were older than forty days, but I find myself asking, ‘who else has intel documents in piles about the house? And how common an issue is this?’

  8. This is not surprising UNFORTUNATELY. There are serious implications, most certainly, but when you consider our tech and data breaches as well as imposter AI capabilities, will we really be able to differentiate fact from fiction and the true origin of such information. IMO, we as Americans tout our free speech , a bit too loudly and broadly when it comes to news outlets and media , social media, newspapers/magazines etc.. We don’t realize how much information should be considered sensitive before delivering to the worldly masses. We give away far too much , opening doors that will welcome hostility rather than hospitality. We don’t need to appease every broadcasted inquiry with broadcasted answers. Our enemies will find allies because, as we all know , money does talk, especially big money . Disgruntled people with positions that allow them access to information, those who feel they are owed something or who feel a need for vengeance, will not think past the money. The worst things that can happen to the US now, are traitors and treason actors. We already have political in-fighting,so this would not be a surprise , especially after witnessing Jan 6 insurrection instigated by then President Trump. In America, anything is possible!

  9. People from usa ane europe can’t call news reporters because they knows for sure they want help them, so social media are awesome…. 🦋🦋🦋

    1. Sounds like Trump taking revenge!!! Plus Trump is a huge Putler fan and loves collecting Classified documents as a hobby and maybe potential blackmail!!!

    *Let’s just appreciate how much a lot of time he puts in these awesome videos to make our day, huge respect!* 😱 😆

  11. simple solution is to require more clearances and make people leave their phones, get patted down, prior to coming in. that way you can better pinpoint leaks like they do in private sector.
