After the war is over, I hope we learn how Zelensky pulled off the greatest intelligence maneuver in recent times. Irish_Dem Jun 2025 #3

... and maybe "don't plan it in a group chat with un-cleared reporters"?

And he assumes he is ten times smarter than Zelensky.

Hiding it from Hegseth was even easier.

I wonder if any of the US CIA and military intel agents knew what was happening
and kept their mouths shut?

should be "the man who is" or "the man who's". The word "whose" indicates possession. The man whose deck is not full.

If Zelenskyy let it come out that "tRUMP DID know about the planned attack" (whether is did or not) ....(and tRUMP didn't tip off Putin), one would think Putin would be really pissed. Might even release some stuff about TACO man aka MUSHROOMDon. And TACO man loses on a lot of fronts: 1. Putin possible payback. 2. tRUMP can't claim he didn't know (that would point to his untrustworthy character. And he can't claim that he KNEW b/c that pisses off Putin.
I see this as a win win win.
Just sayin...
