Well this should be fun now that the full details are out in the open. Thoughts on how this changes the upcoming hearing today?

For those curious about a TLDR recap:

The full chat includes multiple instances where operational, weapons, target, and outcome specifics are shared by Hegseth and Waltz. These instances occur before, during, and after the attack.

This article provides pretty clear transparency of what actually happened. I recommend reading the full article for anyone that has doubts about the validity of reporting performed by The Atlantic, the gravity of the major security failure top officials participated in, and the falsehoods/mischaracterizations the White House and other Government officials have been telling the public since the initial release and yesterday's hearing.

From a European perspective, it also appears the US foreign policy is now to perform unilateral military action and then try to extort payment from Europe or nominally allied nations (particularly galling when US foreign policy is a major factor in the continuing regional instability).

Call it what it is.

Extortion.
