A damaging batch of documents leaked from the Pentagon appears to have been initially shared on the video game chat platform Discord in an effort to win an argument about the war in Ukraine, according to open-source intelligence analysts.
The bizarre provenance of the leak may seem unusual but it is far from the first time that a dispute between gamers has sparked an intelligence breach, with the overlapping communities causing problems for military and gaming platforms alike.
The existence of the leaked cache was exposed as documents showing estimated casualties in the Bakhmut theatre of battle began circulating on public social networks last week.

I call bullshit. If that were true they would have the poster/gamer front and center already doing a perp walk. This is a deep state op, plain and simple.
Computer games are for children. Grow up!
Everyday.. I am more convinced that “24” had it really right.
The inner workings of “secret orgs” where any time somebody is told something super classified, they sneak off to a corner with their cell phone and tell everybody they know about it.
“What kind of idiot forum is THAT?”
FR maybe? LOL

TimberSnakey and the other Neocon Zeeper infiltrators are going to go apoplectic if they see your post.
So...some Fed workers took time away from watching porn to play an online game, got into an argument over the Ukraine and tried supporting their side of the argument by releasing some classified documents? Is that the gist of it?
Yes
Sounds like it..
We are largely dealing with a generation of “it’s all about ME!”
Coupled with “you don’t realize how smart and I know so much more than you”
“see, I prove to you how much smarter and informed I am than you...”
“now that I have proven how Smart and informed I am, everybody now press a “like” button and validate ME! as to how You think I am so Smart and informed too”.
Used to be one off my go to sources, now not so much.
Playing a children’s game, these morons leak classified military information.
Can we not return control to the adults? These kids are killing us.
😨😨😨
That was the premise of the ‘70s Redford movie “Three Days of the Condor”; a small intel unit that researches potboiler novels looking for leaks of classified info.
Redford comes to work to find the unit has been eliminated by the mailman.
Not a bad flick, Robert Redford, Faye Dunaway, Cliff Robertson and Max von Sydow among others.
I’ve been wargaming since ‘73 starting with Avalon Hill games, going from beer and pretzels games to detailed ‘monster’ games of detailed single battles to campaigns or entire wars or the history of the Roman Empire.
I had a platoon sgt into large, Campaign Games where the players manage the economies or at least the production priorities of the side they’re playing; fighters vs bombers,etc.
Those were board wargames, now known as manual wargames since the advent of computer gaming.
Personally I prefer the old paper maps and cardboard counters.
The only advantage I see in computer games is that the cat can’t lie on the map overnight and destroy your deployments.

You mean like the way they train ALL of our Pilots/ Airmen/ tank crews/ etc.. Through “simulators” e.g. video games?
interesting
Bkmrk
One of the overgrown woke babies the CIA now actively recruits lost their crap during a multiplayer game and decided to share some classified info before rage-quitting the game
Everything now should be assumed to be someone’s propaganda, whether from the US side or the other side(s), or both.
