Germany says its officer’s ‘operational mistake’ during Singapore Airshow visit led to army leak

The dude visited an air show where you can be sure the place will be crawling with spies. Then he called in to a video call from an unsecured line. What a fucking clown show.
Blame him, sure.
But if they actually had a secure system, he wouldn't just be able to join in an insecure way (obviously excluding bugs at his physical location).
That dude is certainly to blame but it's also a massive institutional failure.
It’s not a clown show. It’s intentional. And it’s working. I’m 99% this was an intentional leak by the West. The first sign is that it was released by TASS, not the Russian government. They were supposedly fed information by a Russian group of hackers. But it smells a lot like these hackers may have been an EU/US intelligence agency.
Why? Because this pops the cherry around the West having soldiers in Ukraine. Unless Russia fires its nukes or attacks a NATO country, this now makes it a fact that the west has soldiers on the ground in Ukraine. This achieves two things.
Now, gently, the West can expand the envelope, and Russia’s boiling frog situation prevents it from having an explosive reaction.
Secondly it derisks Western soldiers dying in Ukraine. Think about it: What’s a better, less risky news story; Russia has killed western soldiers in Ukraine by accident or WE HAVE FUCKING TROOPS IN UKRAINE?!?! AND RUSSIA HAS KILLED THEM?!?!
Not very up to date on the topic. Isn't the article about delivering missiles to Ukraine? Don't see anything about boots on the ground.
If you say so it must be true.
Our previous chancellor in 2013. Still is today it seems.
Motherfucking Neuland.
Best part was that doofus video calling using his own personal mobile device! 😲🤣
