New batch of classified U.S. documents appear on social media sites

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.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -Russia or pro-Russian elements are likely behind the leak of several classified U.S. military documents posted on social media that offer a partial, month-old snapshot of the war in Ukraine, three U.S. officials told Reuters on Friday, while the Justice Department said separately it was probing the leak.

Whistle Blowing?

Criminal incompetence?

Villainous Treason?

Media Hoax?

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


I would guess its real and probably leaked by some nutjob libertarian. A lot of unstable people are wound up right now and leaks like this are the result.

good article, better than US media.
obviously someone in the intel community has grown sick and tired of this proxy war on russia. the death estimates seem quite ccredible with a russian 4/1 kill rate. pentagon spinning is understandable but almost funny.

no one is looking at them to see if they are real.


Other than the Joint Chiefs and the Pentagon ins the US:

Damage Assessment From Major War Plans Leak Underway In U.S., Ukraine

The classified documents could become a problem for the sharing of sensitive information between Ukraine and the U.S., as well as others.

“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.”

The KW-7 was NOT compromised.

He was copying the daily key cards for it.

No matter what the movie said.

bullshit. that’s what everyone is immediately considering.
the security markings are authentic and follow published guidelines... It’s most likely that someone in the intel community has grown sick and tired of this proxy war on Russia and hopes to possibly avoid WW3.

How does this compare leaks from the Manhattan project and other significant leaks? Wake me up when the concern is not selective.

This may one of the more chilling things I've read regarding the intelligence communities.

It's a perfect way to subvert US laws against CIA spying on US citizens.

What a nasty looking “thing.” And the enemy dares call us “racist” and “sexist.” I’d MUCH rather have Candace Owens as President!

Someone is making moves to lock down on social media posting unless prior approval is given.

Yep. Calls for Elon Musk to be charged, arrested and jailed is probably the next shoe to drop.

I hope they don't have to sell off the burger chain.

Leak my lily white ass.

Someone in the Biden mis-Administration did this deliberately to destroy our country and our relationships with other countries.

Occam's Razor.

If you were out to destroy the USA, would you do anything different than Joe Biden or his handlers? nope.
