Somebody check my logic

We know Russia tried to hack Signal at some point. Suppose they succeeded.

I think trump himself and at least 3 cabinet members on this signal chat are either very sympathetic towards Russia, Russian assets or actual Russian spies.

Suppose they WANT Russia to have access to our military planning.

Wouldn't it be convenient to use a commercial platform that you know Russia has access to, than go through the risk of setting up some other way to leak important information? If they get caught it's just a whoopsie thing and not espionage.

Hypothetically, TSF gets control of Greenland, Canada, Mexico, and the Panama Canal. That's North America, a continent in a package.

TSF could hand over all of it to Putin, claiming that if he doesn't, nuclear war. He's SAVING lives by capitulating.

And all this time, Putin had been setting this up to happen, starting with our "leaked" information, which really wasn't leaked.

Your logic is quite sound and in fact, there is no other explanation to explain all the facts.
