🇺🇸🇾🇪 Leaked Group Chat Shows How the Yemen War Was Planned… on Signal. Yes, Really.
In a bizarre twist, The Atlantic’s editor-in-chief was accidentally added to a group chat where Trump’s inner circle — including VP J.D. Vance and Sec. of Defense Pete Hegseth — hashed out plans to bomb Yemen.
Vance: “I just hate bailing Europe out again.”
Hegseth: “I fully share your loathing of European free-loading. It’s PATHETIC.”
Also Vance: “Let’s make sure our messaging is tight.”
And: “The strongest reason to do this is… to send a message.”
So just to recap:
— They didn’t think the Houthis were a real threat
— They didn’t think Americans would understand the strikes
— They did it anyway, to “send a message”
— And they did it on an unencrypted chat app with a journalist inside the group
You cannot make this up. This is how wars are started in 2025.
