Updated April 13, 2023 at 8:31 p.m. EDT|Published April 13, 2023 at 6:35 p.m. EDT A Massachusetts Air National Guard member was arrested by the FBI on April 13 in the investigation of leaks of classified military documents. (Video: WCVB)
A friend who spoke with The Post described Teixeira as patriotic, a devout Catholic and a libertarian with an interest in guns and doubts about Americas future.
The leaked documents included the whereabouts and movements of high-ranking political leaders and tactical updates on military forces along with geopolitical analysis and insights into foreign governments efforts to interfere with elections.
The leak, per The Post, revealed how the United States gathers foreign intelligence not just on Russias military and spy agencies but also partners like Ukraine and Israel in addition to key allies in Asia, such as South Korea.

So, this explains exactly how irrational americans are: Libertarians pretend they don't need society or rule of law, yet he imagines himself patriotic and catholic. Sorry, but you're clearly just operating on emotional delusions if you think you can be all 3 o those things simultaneously. By definition, you cannot. This is exactly the cognitive dissonance that had half the country voting for a mysoginist pig.

Isn't it similar to Snowden? Patriotic until Democratic president, libertarian, huge ego.

Snowdon was a traitor who got agents killed. I have no use for him. Let him rot in Russia.

Can't argue with your analysis. But the article was quoting his friend, so, it's not their opinion
