The leader of the Democratic number in the legislature Chuck Schumer commenting on reports of disclosure of confidential information, stated that this was “one of the most unreliable violations of military secrets” he had always encountered. The incidental called it “an amateur behavior”. His Democratic colleague from the legislature Elizabeth Warren stated on the X portal: “Our national safety is in the hands of complete amateurs.” And erstwhile Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton wrote, "You must be joking," and published an article from the magazine "The Atlantic", which revealed this incredible scandal.
The issue is highly problematic not only for America. Her key allies besides have origin for concern.
"Safety experts wipe their eyes with amazement"
According to the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic, Jeffrey Goldberg, who accidentally joined the group, safety advisor Michael Waltz, Vice president J.D. Vance, defence Secretary Pete Hegseth, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and another high-ranking officials discussed through the communicator Signal both military tactics and Planned raid on Yemeni Huti rebels. A spokesperson for the National safety Council confirmed that the chat content was most likely authentic and announced an investigation.
Since then, safety experts around the planet have been wiping their eyes with amazement. How is it that leading members of the U.S. government are talking about specified a delicate military operation through a communicator? And they don't realize there's a non-government in the group? What would happen if it wasn't for a highly professional Goldberg journalist, but individual who would pass on these plans before the operation started? At worst, members of this terrorist organization or Iran's sponsor. The lives of American pilots would be seriously threatened.
This issue is highly problematic not only for America. Allies may besides be shocked.
“A Bitter Lesson”
For Europe, the content of the talks includes another bitter lesson. It follows that dense criticism from Washington is not just part of the strategy to increase defence spending. For the most crucial members of the American administration, the continent is not only annoying but even contemptible.
According to the disclosure, Vance criticized the planned military attack. He argued that 3 percent of American trade passes through the Suez Canal, while the percent of European trade is 40%. erstwhile Hegseth pointed to the hazard of late surgery, the vice president replied: “If you think we should do it, we will. I just don't want to save Europe again." For which the Secretary of defence wrote: “I full share your disgust with the parasitism of Europe. It's Pitiful."
So far, any European capitals may have dominated the feeling that the fresh US administration could be harsh on the outside, but its interior conviction that Europe is an crucial ally has not changed. The words of the vice president and the secretary of defence put an end to this. This can only mean 1 thing to Europe: the continent must take care of its own security. And fast.
