The Atlantic has been at the center of numerous scandalous hit pieces against the Trump admin over the years. Remember the "losers and suckers" psyop? That was the Atlantic.
So, I was absolutely not surprised in the least when I saw their name come up once again in this instance.
Respectfully, General Hertling—my patience with takes like yours is running in the red. The only thing "Arrogant. Amateurish." seem to be your takes on current events.
Let’s be clear: this so-called “leak” isn’t the catastrophe the legacy press wants it to be. In fact, it might be one of the most productive revelations we’ve seen in years—and it’s exposing all the right fault lines.
First: Europe just got a clear look at what we actually think of them. No diplo-speak. No filters. Just hard truths. That’s not chaos. That’s clarity—and deterrence is built on clarity, not illusion.
Second: The Atlantic revealed itself (as if it didn't already)—not as a journalistic institution, but as an ideological tool. A publication willing to risk national security to push a narrative and shape appointments. That’s not “informing the public.” That’s sabotage with a press pass (whether Goldberg's admittance into the group was accidental or not).
Third: No U.S. forces were harmed. No ops compromised. And strategically? The leak may serve as a brilliant deception tool—pulling adversaries toward shadows. That’s classic Cold War tradecraft. Use the noise. Control the signal. Don't you know about how this works? You're a general.
But let’s pull back.
This isn’t about one leak. It’s about a pattern—where media outlets won’t stop until they control who holds power. If it’s someone they didn’t handpick? They’ll scorch the earth. If it’s someone they did? Silence, no matter the failure.
It happened under multiple presidents of a certain political party. The press doesn’t hold power accountable—it curates it. You are now part of that apparatus.
And now they’re coming after the SECDEF and VP—because they fight back. Because they don’t kiss rings in D.C. Because they don’t need the approval of think tanks to speak truth.
For everyone else out there, here’s the real danger:
If Americans cave to every hit piece—especially under the guise of national security—we’re setting a precedent:
All it takes to cancel a leader is a leak, a narrative, and enough noise.
The media tried the sexual crime route, they tried the alcoholic route, stands to reason the next one would involve NATSEC. Don't be fooled.
We don’t need fragile politicians in flak vests. We need warfighters who can take incoming and keep advancing.
The American people didn’t vote for curated calm.
They voted for courage, disruption, and truth.

Also - Goldberg 👃🥸😂
Eggxactly, anything associated with 'The Atlantic' is garbage!

This wasn’t a scandal. It was a stress test.
Somebody added the dude to the text thread…who was it?
I’m sure they’re investigating, but I already know by now who’s being fired.
No name 😂😂😂
😂😂😂
Michael Waltz is the guy that added the journalist to the secure chat.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Waltz
He's a neo-con mole from Bush and Cheney.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julia_Nesheiwat
His wife is full on WEF, CFR, Red Cross.
Sounds like a '6 ways from Sunday' inside sabotage job.
How do you know it was Mike waltz?
The articles all state specifically it was Mike Waltz.
