AND they'd somehow keyed-in some reporter from The Atlantic
who followed the whole thread for days.
The discussed 'plans' were kinda GENERAL however, not
like some missile boat arrives at position X at 19:05
hours and immediately fires three at coordinates xxx:yyy
The reporter says they WERE kinda detailed.
The attack discussions were on the sign-up group Signal.
They brag about their messages being encrypted - but it
is not clear how WELL encrypted. If Russia could read it
they'd immediately send it to Iran, which would immediately
relay it to the Houthi.

The one 'good' point is that nobody would SUSPECT higher
level govt stuff on such platform. The net is huge,
somebody chancing onto it would be remote. We also
wonder if the 'real' encrypted inside-govt links
have been compromised, maybe a parting gift from Joe.
But STILL ....
Another possibly redeeming thing would be that this
was all INTENTIONAL ... including the 'leak' ...
intended to obfuscate other, larger, plans.
DID like JDs take on it all ... talking about the
EU leeching off of US Mil expenses and risks even
though 95% of Suez traffic is for Europe :-)
Oh, finally, should the reporter, Goldberg, have
EVER said ANYTHING about this ? He'd decided it was
all real, ultra-security, stuff and neither quit
the chat or kept his damned mouth shut. May be
legal ramifications.
ANYWAY ... this gives the MSM and Chuckie and friends
something to scream about - try to build it up ten
times worse.
