WASHINGTON – A new batch of classified documents that appear to detail U.S. national security secrets from Ukraine to the Middle East to China surfaced on social media sites Friday, alarming the Pentagon and adding turmoil to a situation that seemed to have caught the Biden administration off guard.

The scale of the leak — analysts say more than 100 documents may have been obtained — along with the sensitivity of the documents themselves, could be hugely damaging, U.S. officials said. A senior intelligence official called the leak “a nightmare for the Five Eyes,” in a reference to the United States, Britain, Australia, New Zealand and Canada, the so-called Five Eyes nations that broadly share intelligence.

The latest documents were found on Twitter and other sites Friday, a day after senior Biden administration officials said they were investigating a potential leak of classified Ukrainian war plans, include an alarming assessment of Ukraine’s faltering air defense capabilities. One slide, dated Feb. 23, is labeled “Secret/NoForn,” meaning it was not meant to be shared with foreign countries.

They must be from Joey’s stash in his garage. The door must have been unlocked “this time.”

As long as the corvette is still safe, it’s no big deal.

Im guessing the Ukrainians are planning an offensive and this is a planned disinformation leak.

I’m surprised that anything at all is still printed on paper for the highest levels of review.

I assume they would use only e-versions, which can control/track who sees them, and how long they exist.

But I don’t work for DoD, so defer to anyone who has experience there.

After 16 years of Obama/Hillary, anything coming out of the Secret Squirrel League is full of sh*t and Russia knows it.

Watch the movie Family of Spies based on the real story of Warrant Officer John Walker. The complete lack of security is laughable and the fact that the Navy spent 8 years using the same encryption system after they new it had been compromised.

Why would the Deep State or anyone in the administration allow POTUS Potato to have access to classified documents?

Even during the Hussein administration.

As long as they didn’t say mean things about transgenders, probably no big deal here. But did you hear that Clarence Thomas takes vacations with his friends?

That’s what I thought but really! I wonder when and where
that photo was taken, maybe that’s his nighty night tie.

“I also raise the BS flag.”

I’ll raise you a red flag. Someone is making moves to lock down on social media posting unless prior approval is given.
