I'm 90% leaning toward it being a leak by an idiot showing off on the internet. 10% leaning toward them disclosing documents they want to be leaked to an idiot showing off on the internet. Might be giving those agencies too much credit but he seems a prime candidate to tap up by getting folk to join the discord and steer things.

USA security expert on c4 their take was previous generation (don't mention cambridge five) were instilled with a sense of duty for country despite having access to similar material,
- but for genz lack of controls over social media use, anonymity, the imperative to present your best life, de-sensitization from online war games, leads to a sense of inhibition to disclose such information - Genidiot.

Plenty of instances of MoD laptops with classified stuff on left on public transport.

Goes back further than that too. For example, people cleaning trains in London stations sometimes found folders of classified documents that had been left on the train (presumably by mistake). I know that happened at least as far back as the late 1970s because I knew a person who worked in a management capacity in a large London railway terminus station at that time. Cleaners (and any other employees) who found that sort of thing on a train very sensibly made it Somebody Else's Problem. Give it to whoever's in charge locally. Or anyone further up the hierarchy than you. Just not you. You're not paid enough for that hassle. So the person I knew ended up with the classified documents and the hassle of dealing with them.

I mean, why are they giving access to that kind of information to some 21 year old kid, the US has far too many people with access to this kind of information to expect it to not get leaked. Remember this is only a leak that we know about because it went public and he got caught, how much information is just shared where no one finds out?

Age isn't really a barrier, I mean there is no age where you suddenly become 100% dependable, or immune from outside factors which influence your decision making. No amount of background checks can predict it.

I was DV cleared by the time I was 20 years old with access up to code word top secret. There has to be some level of trust. The "inside man" is always one of the biggest security threats no matter what industry you work in.
 
In the British Army, provided an officer has passed all requirements (joinging at 18) and their is a spot - at age 21 they would be a Full Lieutenant

Oof when reality sinks in

Prigozhin urges Putin to announce that all goals have been achieved and that the war is over

You now have two of Putin's biggest fanboys asking Putin to end the war, Igor Girkin and Dmitri Prigozhin

Sounds like Wagner are basically finished at the front now, so I’m not surprised he’s calling for an end, Wagner’s role in the war is likely to come to a messy end in the next few weeks so he’ll want to save face.

End to the SMO, not necessarily the war.

Tucker says U.S. forces are engaged in combat operations against Russians

The US was engaged in Syria - was tucker complaining when the US sent an entire Russian unit into space via several massive bomb drops in Syria?

A couple of units at most and we've know this since the beginning as well considering the earlier leaks of info that the US had a team standing by to evacuate Zelenskyy if he desired it, also it's highly unlikely to still remain accurate as for all we know this particular period of information happened to coincide with trips by US VIP's to the country which naturally would mean the presence of SOF.

Tucker is as usual being a sensationalist liar.
