Classified Pentagon documents containing information about US and NATO plans for a Ukrainian offensive and key details of the ongoing war have leaked. And the Biden administration is reportedly demanding they be scrubbed from the internet. Is there a hidden agenda behind the leak?
The New York Times has reported “a significant breach of American intelligence in the effort to aid Ukraine” through the leak of classified documents which have been shared on social media. It correspondents cited “senior Biden administration officials” who apparently tipped the outlet off to the story. Documents circulating on Telegram which closely resemble those referred to by the Times are reproduced at the end of this article.
The Times writes, “Military analysts said the documents appear to have been modified in certain parts from their original format, overstating American estimates of Ukrainian war dead and understating estimates of Russian troops killed. The modifications could point to an effort of disinformation by Moscow, the analysts said… The analysts warned that documents released by Russian sources could be selectively altered to present the Kremlin’s disinformation.”
Neither the New York Times nor the “military analysts” it cited explain how the documents were altered, or why they have the appearance of tampering. However, because the leaked documents have arrived in the form of photographs of printed documents, rather than original files, the possibility of forgery or alteration must be considered.
The leaked documents claim that Russia has sustained troop losses ranging from 16,000 to 17,500 while Ukrainian losses amount to as many as 71,500 – a staggering differential that stands at odds with the triumphalist narrative projected by Kiev. They are dated March 1 2023 and appear to be part of an ongoing briefing effort to analyze the war’s progress and plan a Ukrainian counteroffensive.

"I'm sure it's all just as Russian as Hunter's laptop!"
The largest purveyors of disinformation are the agents of the Anglo empire global deep state:
NATO plus 5 Eyes, so called Data!
“Oops, I guess no spring offensive, our plans have been leaked.”
Basically this is readiness data. Which is definitely classified info. However, it doesn’t appear to be the actual war plans on where and how to organize and fight the offensive.
Probably discarded and removed from trash bins.
“Oops, I guess no spring offensive, our plans have been leaked.”
Ain’t nothing more stupid than a spring offensive during the season of mud.
IIRC just last year a spring offensive got bogged down in the mud.
That’s Europe for you.. there’s a history of spring offensives that have been bogged down in the mud stretching back probably 200 years or at least as far back as heavy equipment has been in use.
Nobody seems to read history anymore.
Attacking Russia in the fall with a oncoming winter seems to have stopped a few major offensives as well.
Fidiots abound.
“claim that Russia has sustained troop losses ranging from 16,000 to 17,500 while Ukrainian losses amount to as many as 71,500”
I find it puzzling that all of DC snd the media proclaim these figures to be ‘disinformation’ and the one part of the docs that is completely wrong - yet no official body has provided the ‘true’ KIA figures.
And you have information saying Ukraine's leaders want to discuss peace with Vlad the Invader?
And this document comes from where, Hunter's laptop?
Nothing I've seen says Ukraine's leaders are ready to talk peace with Vlad.
Everything I've seen says they intend to defeat Vlad's orcs on the battlefield, and retake Ukrainian territory, all of it.
But maybe you know something nobody else does?
"Anglo Empire"? There's a term I haven't seen before.
Do you guys use that all the time?
Of course, you remember, we won WWII, at least in part, by convincing the Germans that our landings in Sicily and Normandy were coming somewhere else.
In war there is always deception.
The Germans themselves, perhaps inadvertantly, misdirected the French & British defenses in 1940 when detailed plans for the German invasion were lost in a plane crash in Holland.
That forced Manstein to develop & propose new plans to Hitler, plans the Fuhrer loved and, as it happened, worked well.
So war is all about deception, meaning there's always a risk for one side or the other that they start to believe their own lies.
Our heroes, the deep state denizens of that worthless bureaucracy that should have died in 1992, NATO. Instead they became willing accomplices of expansion the NWO aka the Anglo global empire.
